So i tried this out with England and i gotta say it worked even better then i imagined :D. Because of the longbows i was able to pick logistics first and just get presiscion through the upgrade, essentially evening out the exp advantage the zulu have over england. My only viable target for...

IMO religion is only worth it if you can get it trough your initial shrine(s) -> faith generating pantheon, or by settling near a natural wonder. Hagia sophia is gone too soon to safely build it and you need your hammers early on for other things then faith generating buildings. Religious...

A good writeup, and i will def. give it a shot. My only problem with your buildorder is your pyramid timing. If you build 3 archers in your cap before the pyramids they wont finish before the late turn 50's, and i've seen the pyramids go as early as turn 50 plenty of times on diety, so it...

I'll have to disagree with that, +15% growth and free aqueducts is much better then a free great person imo, i'd sacrifice my great engineer for a wonder that does that every time over the other wonders you could build. Also i don't actually think that liberty has a hammer advantage over...

Nerf the shoshone?, Poland is a lot worse imo, their UA is basically a whole free social policy branch + their map colour looks awesome (this needs some serious nerfing).

41 Pop Amsterdam (bunch of polders, tradition, atremis, maritimes etc etc).

I just feel that since bnw, opening liberty simply makes very little sense, mainly because it absolutely trashes your economy and midgame science output (when compared to trad that is.) Tradition gives you: 1gpt/2capitalpop (and gives you the means to grow your capital MUCH faster then with...

Looks very fleshed out,thanks for the guide i'll def. try it :D. My guess would be that the maya absolutely blow the other mentioned civs out of the water with this strategy? (much more faith AND a ton of science at a time where science is the ICS biggest weakpoint... and let's not forgot...

Wow, this is borderline evil :D. With Genghis you can also get a bunch of promotions on your cb's by not making peace with the city state you stole a worker from. Then, once you get your first khan, you run your cb's to the cs, shoot any units it might have (usualy barely any at this...
