I'm interested in starting an OCC game. I have never played this mode before. Can anyone tell me what basic strategies, civics, or even civilization to pick for? What kind of victory is achievable in this mode? Or perhaps even direct me to an existing thread that already discussed this.

Thanks

Over on Apolyton we have had a whole discussion about OCC games. As you probably know you can't win a cultural victory in OCC, but everything else is possible (mostly depending on the game's initial setup). Here's the two threads, please check them out and join in the discussion!

Even domination?
