Well I surprised my self by managing to keep up in tech. I was able to Vassal Mansa VIII. I was so proud of myself it was going to be my first emperor level win of some kind as i was climbing up in power and was getting ahead in tech.
That is when I got sloppy I decided to sail over to the...
I finished last night with an abysmal 1978 domination victory.
I decided to go for domination because the shape of this map allowed me to concentrate my army in one place and push forward.
I forgot this was raging barbs. I managed to get the southern choke settled before getting overwhelmed...
I don't mean to butt my head in where I don't belong. Butttttt........ I am going to any ways.
It seems to me that the logical arguements for and against including Incans are similar if not the same as for and against balanced resources. Neither makes success 100%, while both either are or...
I am excited for a Saladin game. :) I have fond memories of playing as him.
OTOH I always manage to hose myself on isolated starts, and I also tend to over extend on these special setups.
All in all I am looking forward to the challenge with one of my favorite Civ/leaders.
Took out frenchies and backfilled our island. Debating on how to procede with Stalin should I make make freinds or take him out while I wait for Astronomy:). I am having a brain cramp can't remember if he is a dependable friend or not.
1886 Conquest
This is was my first Victory on a Map this Watery, and i had terrible strategy kept showing up on other peoples island with way to many troops should have split my forces earlier. I also hamstrung myself by focusing on military techs ahead of naval ones. oh well live and learn.
Great concise info guys.
I don't think i have ever gotten this response before but may be playing on to low a level.
Quick question though; Do techs you get in peace negotiations count?
Is it possible for a human to be worse at naval warfare than the AI?
The combo of going back to Vanilla, and of the water map threw me a few curves. Nothing I can't handle but so for not a great showing for such low difficulty. I really need to hone my earlt game in water maps a lot more.
I...
Thanks for your concern Seraiel, but I think that would fly in the face of the idea of the gauntlet. This just will motivate me and hopefully others to finish next time.

First CivV win. like some others said should've split my forces and taken out two AI's at a time, and also should've prioritized astronomy.
Still learning the systems and mechanics of Civ5, which means it takes me a while to complete a game and I forgot a lot of the stuff I meant to put in...
I too was surprised by the low food level of the map. I searched the forum and couldn't find much. Perhaps someone who has played the mapscript more than I have can shed some light. Is the lack of food a feature of "Ice Age" mapscipt? It seems logical.
1972 cultural victory:)
Didn't figure out until much too late, just how much of an advantage having multiple religions for their academy type structures until early 1300's when i started purposefully spreading around religions for the 50% bonuses i could get in my legendary cities.
1840...
I settled my first city on the coast next to the elephants, second city all the way to the east coast to get the horses, and third away in the south to block Hannibal and Asoka.
I was considering sending some chariots to the south to take out neighbors but decided i didn't want their land. So...
