Strategy[]

AW Urartu Wikia

Artwork by AW

Urartu is built to run for the hills - and thrive. Its strength is in turtling up with the defensive modifiers of hills, forts, and Berds while quietly working up to being an industrial powerhouse. Berds serve to augment the production and growth rate of your cities, but each tile can only have its yields collected once. Therefore, Berds should be placed far away from cities for maximum yield, optimally on your border in order to grab land while still maintaining a meaningful defensive perimeter. Urartian forts are useful for the same purpose, plus they don't have to be placed on a hill, although they don't reap far-off yields. The Karum and the UA work together to provide a jump start of Gold and Production to hill cities in particular; the UA will cause Copper or Iron to be spawned next to a city near hills, which then has its yields boosted by the Karum.

Unique Attributes[]

Secret of Van

Forts claim surrounding tiles and may be built at double speed. Upon founding a city, there is a 50% chance that additional resources may be placed nearby, depending on the nearby terrain.

AW Karum Wikia

Artwork by AW

Karum (Forge)

Available at Iron Working. All nearby metal resources produce +1 Gold Gold and Production Production, or doubled this for Iron Iron. Requires at least one metal resource nearby.

BerdIcon Wikia

Artwork by AW

Berd

Slowly claims a ring of tiles surrounding it. May be built outside of friendly territory. Provides +25% Strength defense to a unit stationed on it and damages adjacent enemy units. Does not yield anything by itself, but transfers the food, gold, and production of all the surrounding tiles to the nearest city each turn. Costs 2 Gold Gold in maintainence per turn and is destroyed when pillaged.

Enslave the Discontented[]

Our empire - particluarly in the outermost regions - is full of people unhappy with their lives.

Eclipse of x[]

Our long rival x's might falters, and our generals see a decisive but short window of opportunity to lay claim to their land and oust them as the most powerful state in the region. Should we heed their advice and quickly mobilize into x's lands in hopes of expanding the kingdom?

Option 1: Yes, let us seize this opportunity to expand our lands!

  • Free units appear near x's territory
  • War instantly declared on x

Option 2: Let us not be so quick to arms; the might of our culture will suffice.

  • Pockets of x's land convert to your control
  • Small chance that x's nearest city converts to your control

(Lifetime culture generated must exceed that of x)

Option 3: Absolutely not. x is our friend and we will not raise up arms against them.

  • ((Your Total Population * x's Total Population) + Your Number of Cities + x's Number of Cities) Goldenage Golden Age Points
  • Between 10 and 25 Influence Influence with all met City-States

Cimmerian Raid[]

For a long time now, the barbaric Cimmerians to the north have been raiding and looting our countryside off and on. But our scouts report that a large force is assembled on the horizon, more bloodthirsty than ever, headed straight for the city of x! We must act quickly!

Option 1: Alas! What can we do against their terrible horde?

  • Random improvements surrounding x are destroyed
  • x loses HP
  • The raid may continue
  • (Unhappiness / Happiness) % chance that x will be destroyed entirely. (This chance increases the less happy your empire is.)

Option 2: Double up on fortifications - no matter the cost!

  • Lose (City Population * Unhappiness) Gold Gold
  • Fewer random improvements surrounding x are destroyed
  • Raid will not continue

(City must have walls)

Option 3: We can use the garrison to lure them out into the battlefield.

  • Barbarians spawn near x
  • Raid will not continue

(Must have a military unit within 1 tile of x)

Unique Cultural Influence[]

"Our people are now getting drunk with your wine and building walls inside walls. I worry the rest of the world will also succumb to the influence of your culture."
