Withdraw from my third and 4th attempt as someone beat me to Petra(4th) and start with a 3 peoples capital(3rd) I went for Tradition as you can get aqueduct superfast with these early culture from wine. The major difference between my game and yours is I stop at three city which...

Second run T264, start freedom T177. Made one major mistake so I'll go for a third run.

THere's one really good spot. I settle Nicae by the coast south of Quebec City and that's where I built Petra. 4 Sheep with Petra and farms or mine depending on river. 2 fish. You got all the food and all the production you need. Feel like it would be more useful to build it there then in...

Haven't play a cultural game in a while and never with G&K. Might play some pratice game before just to see what's the best approach. I use to finish with Order as the last policy tree so I can get the production bonus for building Utopia. I guess that now that it is mutually exclusive...

So, I knew I didn't do that well but didn't think I would get to the bottom of the list. Let's see what went good or wrong. I use a liberty start with 5 city, 2 puppet most of the game. Religion : I went for +1 food from camp as someone suggest in the starting thread. No problems there I...

For those who already started to pile up games for the Hall of Fame, did you play with or without the Wonder of the Ancient World DLC. Personnally, I've try both and it seem way easier with it. Even at immortal, I got a fare chance at some mid-early wonder like Oracle and Pisa. Plus...

From my point of view, G&K make it a little easier. Maybe not an entire level but close too. The DLC that make it way easier is Wonder of The Ancient World. Find it easy to get whatever wonder I want, even at Immortal.

For my experience, GS are now better than they were before G&K. Like it's been said, earlier, scientist are nerfed and slow down the early game. But settling those have great advantage for late game. It's mostly the matter of knowing when to use the scientist. I try to time my scientist...

Well, he didn't City was on hill so that's might count as an extra defense but still. Still good to hear that some people fail to the same kind of rush.

I just start a Diety game with Isabella. I was next to Montezuma and he decide to rush me. He had 5 Jaguars and 2 archers. I had lost my warrior and scout to a barbarian encampment to gain a CS allied. Even thought, I manage to survive with only my city attacking which wouldn't have been...

I was wondering why the map type for the lasts GOTM have all been Mystery Map? I like to make pratice game before attempting a GOTM but can't without all info? Was it a demand of the players?

I'ld like to try Sweden as I haven't have luck so far to try there UA. Any victory condition but domination would do. I'll try to post my result this time arounc, think I've made the same promess when Civ 5 just got out.

About saving/loading I usually don't save my game and load from the autosave menu straigh away. Will that work for HoF or must I use a single save game?

I didn't have a declaration of friendship when they backstab me. Only friendly relations and deals going on + mutual war.

As always, I couldn't resist the urge to replay a 2-3 time 1 turn to test AI behavior. No unit in jeopardy but that still cheating. Got a turn 317 or 1894 Science Victory Almost a turn 319 Diplomacy loss Lost 15 turns at the end of the game for a lost RA. Got a RA with Mongols with...

It's never useless to continue... At least, you'll beat thoses who lost pre- turn 50

Turn 100 to 180 The fight went well against all four nations. I make sure I took every possibility of winning for Arabia, Hiawatha and Darius. Japan as been irradicate by Hiawatha. Finally made peace with everyone when hapiness became a problem. No city razing is hell to do. My capital was...

Move the warrior south on the hill and even thou I could see the river, decide to sat on cotton as those stone might get really useful for early wonder. I went Monument>Warrior>GL>NC + 3 early RA Japan early attack me but my two warriors and the civic that double the garrison from...

I did practice shot on immortal with Wu Zetian to see some basics. I found that : It is possible to build Great Library. Very Likely if you beeline for it. I get wipeout 50% of the time before I'm done with it. Keep your warriors close. Just wish for ancient ruin but it's very unlikely that...
