Secular in 1572 as Greece -> France. Crazy that despite having such starkly different conditions those two victories came at around the same time. There was a big similarity in how they played (wonderspam in Athens/Corinth, conquer Asia, build a bunch of stuff before you collapse) which...

With a nice healthy economy (-479gpt in STRIKE) Greece has achieved victory in 1584AD. Every single civilization in the world except Japan and Indonesia is Catholic and I still almost got into an unwinnable situation. 50% of all the land is just hugely punishing for a civ with ancient era...

Greek Catholicism closing on 40% of the world in 1400 without any Euro colonies. Just gifted them Astro and Gunpowder so let's see if they can get their asses in gear for once :gripe:

1.14 as in my sig. Last update before the new tech tree and other changes that made it feel less like an updated RFC and more like something else to me

Since Catholicism is so BORING I decided to have fun. Islamic Greece in 490AD! Founded Hinduism as Egypt for the shrine, and Taoism with the Swedish hut. Judaism in Jerusalem, Zoro in Persepolis, and Buddhism in Patliputra (last two shrines helpfully provided by the AI) brings the needed GPs...

What would even be the point of multiplayer RFC? The massively asymmetrical nature of the mod means there are so few opportunities for meaningful two player interaction and if you do get it (like Russia vs HRE for example) it would be vanilla with less replayability and even more focus on aggro...

The year 1436. The world is 29% Catholic and with no colonies yet founded and every colonial civ including Russia follows the True Faith. The prophets have been settled and Mongolia prepares to invade Ethiopia and India with 0 in expansion stability. But only 10/150 turns as Pope:cry:

Trying to do Catholicism as China -> Mongolia but it's not working. Does anybody know what the actual triggers for the Great Schism were in 1.14? I even tried building an Orthodox Cathedral but nothing happened, now five games in a row with no Catholicism to convert to. I know it can happen...

Protestant China, 912. This one is basically down to luck: in addition to very aggressive hut popping (ie WorldBuilder) you need to get very lucky with how Catholicism spreads (so you and at least two or three other civs get it) and then the same with Protestantism. After that the limiting...

Confucianism in 1085 as Egypt -> Rome. Rome is very strong for this as it has the ability to spread Confucianism to the cores of about a dozen potential friendly civs for +4 brothers and sisters of the faith and has a lot more (and more productive) cities than China does. Organizing a massive...

Last person still playing 1.14 here (thank you Leoreth, best mod ever), I remember seeing a thread about who could get the biggest city back then which I can't find but, here's my contribution. The ones in that thread used somewhere in the United States with the Floating Gardens built as Maya...

Shaved a thousand+ years off Hindu by doing it with Greece instead of China. The obvious choice given their UP and access to the Parthenon and Statue of Zeus. I founded Buddhism and built Shwedagon Paya but forgot to revolt to Scholasticism for about twenty turns :blush: so it could easily be...

I think the whole premise, that there's supposed to be tradeoff between different sources, is wrong. Fossil fuels have always been way more important than nuclear and hydro combined, to the point that even countries like France and Canada that have made exceptional use of alternative energy...

I think it would be cool for England to have a Europe-focused, military goal to contrast with the tech and colonization goals it already has and be more fun/interactive than "build an arbitrarily large navy for no reason." I was thinking "ensure there are at least nine civilizations in Europe...

If I ever finish Catholicism then sure
