Yess, I think better to invest the early wonder shields into military which would be used to fight early wars in order to obtain (hopefully) an early MGL for the wonder + gain more pop/territory for score/faster research. You can accomplish some good things with 200 shields invested in barracks...

Did not have the motivation to finish the game, but this looked like a good set up for a fast 100K victory: lots of food, pangaea, decent domination limit, religious civ for cheaper culture and short anarchies (have a hypothesis that switching between Republic and Despotism for pop rushing...

I always thought you get score from controlling sea tiles

Spoiler upon entering MA in 825 BC With 10 civs on Pangaea and us being militaristic, the pre-game description suggested that this would be a fantastic way to produce lots of military great leaders. Prior to beginning, I made the decision to chase a 20K cultural victory if I could get 1 MGL...

Hey @Spoonwood, It's interesting that you brought this up. I've analyzed your Celts 470 AD game (and some other quick 100K culture games) and came up with this theory that extra 4 cpt from a University might allow to finish faster than get "ToA and free temples, avoid Education" tactic. A...

Did not manage to finish before the deadline - stopped playing at 270 AD. At that time had the continent to myself, doing 4 turns research, Magnetism in 1 turn (Industrial Age to be entered in 320 AD), building lots of settlers for science farms. Stats: 272 pop, 94 towns, ~20 knights/med...

In order to trigger Golden Age with wonders you need wonders fulfilling all 3 traits? Also, are we sure that Republic Government Unit maintenance cost is 2 gpt/unit with free unit support of 1/3/4 for town/city/metropolis?

Congrats to the winners and participants! Unfortunately did not finish but things were looking promising - will post notes in the spoiler thread

Another interesting COTM - thanks to the creators for keeping the competition alive! Not sure if I'll finish, though. Played quite some time ago, this is what I remember/see in my scarce notes: Settled in place, and built a granary pretty soon. 4 turn settlers after that up until the Middle...

Wanted to say thanks to the creator! I played the game for a bit, stopped at around 800 BC but did not find time to finish. Plan was to kick of GA with Berserk, capture The Great Lighthouse (which was built close by a neighbour) and conquer the world with Medival Infantry/Knights and lots of...

Yep, that one might be fake, but there are plenty authentic looking videos circulating. Ukraine announced 200 POWs (I guess you don't trust their numbers?) and also plenty of burned columns of vehicles logically suggest that there should be lots of POWs.

Happy to see Russian vehicles burning in Ukraine - you have to be punished for sending your orcs :nono: not okay. The_J to a democratic country with a pathetic fake pretext! :love: Have seen plenty of Russians on these forums, is attacking Ukraine is well supported amongst Russians? Is Russian...

Looks inviitng for 20 K and MGL farming (if we're not alone on an island). In the previous GOTM there was an old Republic unit support rule - each unit costs 1 gpt, doesn't matter the amount of towns under your control. Will it be fixed this time to match the COTM logic (as it was in the...

By the way, is Republic unit support is correct in this game? I don't get any free allowance and pay 1 gpt for each unit.

@Green Bear you don't seem to be using RCP (Ring City Placement) to have less corruption?

Settled in place. Decided on RCP at 4 and 8. Met my continent fellows pretty quickly. Barbs weren't a big problem - most were taking care of by wandering AI units. Research was at full speed learning Pottery->Writing->Philosophy->CoL->Republic. Republic was researched in 730 BC which netted me...

yes, noticed that and it confused in the beginning

I also did not finish due to lack of time but enjoyed the map and set up when was playing. Thanks to the creator and well done finishers!

I've abandoned the capital and knew exactly where the new palace will be located. There is a special formula used to calculate that: https://www.civfanatics.com/civ3/strategy/game-mechanics/free-palace-jump/ Basically, your next palace location when you abandon/lose the capital will be the...

It is the year of 1000 BC. The Dutch civilization has finally settled the 10th town and is eligible for this spoiler. Unfortunately Haarlem is due to be lost the next turn to the French as we are sneak attacked on this very same turn. To be fair we were preparing for the war ourselves and have 7...
