Whole Empire challenge

Thanks AP and you are probably right as usual! Oh, and here we have the first one!:lol:

The fact is that London is a crappy city compared to Southampton! And Panopticon, you can blame it on Rhye for making it that way.. ;)
 
I dont have the map right here, but wouldnt it make more sense to build 1N of London instead of 1S, if you dont care about getting London or not? Afair that would give you 1 Fish resourse more, and two more grassland tiles? I dont understand why you wanna go 1S? Again, I dont have the map here, sorry if Im completely way off..
 
I played another game as England and was fairly satisfied with the results. This time I nearly completed the British Empire, while doing the UHVs. Only cities missing are Baghdad, Yax Mutal and Lagos (I cleared the jungle but my settler was late, so Portugal settled it). Allthough, I don't know should I include the jungle islands on pacific?? (know I did)

I quit before 1921, which IMO is the deadline, because a congress set up a major world war and my stabilty probably couldn't have handled it without giving cities away. If someone wants to play on, I can upload the save just after the congress.

You're also missing Accra, even though the Malinese conveniently built it for you.

1N of London is also good if you don't plan to build Newcastle. It's called (somewhat appropriately since there is a forest on the dye) Nottingham. The only problem is that it's not on a river so production suffers late game due to lack of a levee.
 
Here's my try at alexanders empire.I also tried to settle macedon as someone (can't remember the name) mentioned it twice I tried with aege but the romans got illiria.The first screenie is the whole empire,the second one the majority (only missing egypt) with borders (thanks to the pyramids) and the third one is from egypt.I added calendar to verify the date but didn't use the dye.
There where the river indus is you can see alex's soldiers who refuse to march anxmore (IIRC from history last year)

I'm impressed. But you didn't have to add calendar with WB... timelines work just as well. Or you could even go to save every turn, which would tell you what year it is.

Nonetheless, :goodjob:!
 
I have autosave every turn but it doesn't show me the date but (for example iron age turn 120) until I discover calendar.To tell you the truth I only added it (Calendar to verify) because the others did ;) also I added it on the turn the screenshot was taken.
Thank you for the rep+
 
I have seen this (rep+) a lot lately on these forums... is it only because of the smiley (:goodjob:) or is there some place to add reputation points to people? I haven't found it anywhere yet...
 
I didn't rep+ anybody, and I certainly don't know how.
 
I know, but in some forums it is possible to give someone reputation, like a post count, so you know exactly who is a high appreciated poster or a spammer. I don't know if it would be a great addition to Civfanatics because this can be abused easily (and since we are on international forums with people having different first languages). Thanks for clarifying.:)
 
I have finally done it! Here is my British Empire, which strecthes from Inverness to Hobart and from Vancouver to China. This time it includes the notorious Accra, Lagos, Yax Mutal, Singapore and Irak, not to forget Afganistan and Pakistan. :D

Stability is decreasing due to a world war, once again started by a congress (I hate those things), but I gave away New York to stop the slide. Anyway, it is 1916 so I guess it is proper to have nice war going on. Otherwise everything is just fine. France, America, Aztec and Khmer are my vassals and UHVs were done properly. All cities except the one in the most eastern tip of Canada were taken prior to this turn, after that I vassalised France.

Very nice, I would probably collapse by the 20th city :goodjob:
 
Once, es England, I had the British Isles ALL of North America, from Nunavut to Panama, the Carribean, the north of South America, all but the very interior desert of Australia, New Zealand, all of Sub-Saharan Africa, with Egypt and India and the Inca as vassals.

Cecil Rhodes would be drooling.

The most important thing is, and I can't stress this enough, do not lose the Thirteen Colonies. By 2050, British North America, with all it's cities and great land, was the only thing keeping Soviet Germany at bay.
 
Thanks BurnEmDown!

And Crimson Phantom, my intention was to create the actual British Empire (at the largest in 1920) with all cities and areas, no vassals allowed. That's the point of this thread = Whole Empire.
 
Slightly offtopic but people in this thread might know and it's related to the whole empire challenge, is there anywhere I can find maps of the world at certain dates online?
