Screw meteors, all my homies hate meteors.
Please note, that it is literally impossible for me to attempt to break the current WR due to the fact that I don't have access to the same tech available to the current holder.
One of the most important needed is called "Oracle" which is simply not available for me to research, which gives +6 line of sight, which allows the ability to teleport over the walls. The only substitute is "Carrier Pigeons", however the pigeons cost a additional 250 (400 vs 150) wood and takes 10 seconds longer to research (30 vs 40).
This may not sound like alot, but at this stage the villager gather rate for wood is .97, meaning that it would take 8 villagers 33 seconds ONTOP of the 20 that is needed to get 150 wood. This is all during a stage were you need every villager possible on gold and food.
So until I either find a way to break the cutscene sequence, or find a way to have this research available, I'll be forced to settle for 2nd.
