This may not belong in this Discussion, but since I noticed it in playing a Game of Month, I will start here. One thing I noticed during my second iteration of the OCC was some major 'cheating' from the AI. Here is a short portion of my log. +1260 Barcelona complete Darwin (magnetism and...

I am leaving on a 2 week vacation to Australia tomorrow and I won't have time to post the log before I go. I was not happy with the pace of the game I was playing. Trade was one of the major issues. I built the original 3 trade caravans in a similar time frame as you. But trade never reset...

It is too bad you don't have the save files, it would have been nice to see what actually happened. One of the reasons I asked was I playing a second attempt after finishing my first one. I was doing an OCC and following your log . When I was playing the size 6 city with the workers on Whale...

I have a question about your original OCC log. You produced your first caravan in 725. You were producing 10 shields per turn. Your treasury (in 750) was 10. How did you produce your 2nd caravan in 4 turns, your 3rd in 3 turns and your 4th in 2 turns? I assume you must have rushed them...

Goals for this period were: Continue trading, conquer Karakorum (and possibly some other Mongol cities), head to upper continent, Trade did not end up being a large part of this period. I think I spent too much time dealing with the Mongols. +20 BB -> Medicine (672), Nottingham Salt to...

Here is the beginning of my game. I am not done but I am well into the game and haven't really looked at the later parts of other people's logs (although it is the beginning that really sets the tone). I never really thought about using the forest or the hill as city sites. Also didn't think...

I was pleasantly surprised to see a new GOTM. I was thinking about playing CIV2 just because I hadn't played for so long. Now I have a reason.

Would it be possible to get an extension on the deadline. I have my spaceship built and ready to launch, but I need a bit of time to go through the turns between launch and landing.

+1800 to +1840 This was a period of improving my cities and trade. On the first turn (1802), I eliminated the Romans, Zulus, French and Spanish. The English still had a number of disconnected cities (Liverpool, the capital was in the middle of nowhere at 62,54,1. At the end of 1808, I went...

Actually I was going for SpaceShip. Blue Star (highest score) would be nice. Of course, if you own all the Wonders, that helps get your score higher, so I am not sure why it wouldn't make sense to take out the AIs. I could have left the Spanish and Mongols alone since they didn't have any...

The main reason for eliminating the AI from their home islands was to take away their wonders. In some cases, I would deliver 1 or 2 freight to an AI city on the turn that I bribed/subverted them. For instance in 1782, right before attacking Bokhara, I delivered dye from Hangchow to Bokhara and...

The next period is a time of great expansion, mostly through bribery with a few attacks interspersed. I had 18 cities in 1750. By 1800, I had 66 cities. 6 new cities were founded, I also conquered or bribed 2 Roman cities, 5 Zulu Cities, 3 French cities, 12 Spanish cities, 16 English cities...

I can't believe how far behind in number of cities I am. Major has 97 cities, Jokemaster has 64 and Ali has 53. I have a paltry 18. The strangest thing to me is Major. He has 97 cities and I have 18. But I have more population and more Tech. Must be a lot of small cities. I guess that...

Here is the next part of my log. I didn't really do a lot over the next bunch of turns. Only 5 new cities. I did make it to the big continent in +1380 (first city in +1400). I did quite a bit of domestic trade. Some were very low results. I was able to pull of the discover Railroad, build...

This will cover +1 thru +1000. It was a slow period. Only 6 cities were created during this time and I had not ventured north of the plains and desert islands. I did make a few domestic deliveries. I also completed 3 wonders (MPE, Mike's and Leo's). +60 Hangchow founded at 23,215,16 +80...
