:vomit: I was talking about authentic cultural games. ;)

Well done with the Espionage Victory, Mitchum. :goodjob: I'm curious, did you enjoy the experience? Yeah, Espionage can beat traditional culture everytime. :sad:

Does anyone remember what happens to ancient era world wonders in renaissance starts? Cultural game with no Sistine's and one religion sounds scary.

Hard game indeed. Congratulations to all winners!

No time for finishing. Busy real-time month, Epic Speed and world at continual war is too much for me. It would probably have been a 1750AD cultural victory. 1700AD if Musa researchs Comm soon. 1800AD if (even) more wars happen. If I ever get the time I'll give some details in the First Spoiler.

I don't think I'll play. I remember it all from the first time. :sad: The thing I learnt more painfully and never forgot is to zigzag with your ships when your are on the search on other continents.

Only 12 victories! This game was quite hard.

jesusin, contender. Goal: Fastest Cultural Victory. Result: Cultural Victory 1590AD. Very few entries in this thread... no wonder, this was a very difficult game. If you haven't read my first spoiler go and do it, it's much more interesting than this one. Settled as far as the Copper by...

jesusin, contender. Goal: fastest Cultural Victory This is a hard game. I made it harder by settling on the PH without any hill. I made it even harder by beelining Alphabet and having met no one when I got it. I was quite sure I was going to lose the game at that time. At 1AD I am more...

13 AIs... How many of them will need to know a tech in order for them to be ready to trade it? Packed AIs running out of land to continue REXing means: WAR!

I like 1N for a very good GPFarm with more than decent production. Shall I settle my capital there or leave it for a second city?

:) I don't play to compete, I play to learn and become a better player. I have more games to compare to when I play contender. That's all.

Why?! Re-roll! this is HOF.

jesusin, contender. Goal: Fastest Cultural Victory. Result: 1510AD cultural victory. Before 1AD: Failed CS sling and left with just 2 religions. Pyramids in. 09 built in tundra, 2Deer, Horses. No better place available. Parthenon in. Sistine's in. Capital generation pool is ruined with Pyara...

I've read that 2 people built a second Worker just before their first Settler. That's something I've never done. The tiles to be improved in capital at that point are not as valuable as the tiles already improved in capital or the tiles to be improved in city2. So what I do is to build the...

jesusin, contender. Goal: Fastest Cultural Victory. Settled 1SE as 1SSE was slightly weaker. Compared to SIP, I win a Gold resource and I climb to a PH. Any of these too reasons are enough to pay for the lost turn. Would someone please explain me the reasoning behind a SIP? Plan: CS sling with...

Wow, we settle cities in a very different way. :eek: Your description is typical of one of my cities... the ninth one, the one that has trouble getting a single GA out :lol:. All of my cities have 2 food resources, very few exceptions.

Congratulations! Well done :)

I really don't know what to do. If I settle city4 early I damage my economy. If I wait, best food sites are taken by Deity AI and I miss those GA in the end. Fully agree. Agreed. But mind you, I had all 3 strategic resources. So my cathedrals were as expensive as a 3 religions game with 2...

I've chickened out, so mow I play with slow AIs. Also I'm playing Stone starts now, since I can't research without cottages. Both these things are errors, of course. All my pains would be easied if I had a GS ready to bulb Education. I *could* have had it this game. It would have saved some 10...
