This is the guy whos style I ripped off. Grey Fox, Meth, take note ;o
So, uhhhh.... want to tell us how to turn 300 beakers at 200 into that ridiculous game winner there? After turn 200 how much of the economy increase is conquest and how much is settled cities? I presume you're still using Aristo/Agrar due to all those farms?
Edit: Goddamn you're not even using AV there.
I had a lot more than 300 beakers at turn 200. I'll check later, but I think it was at ~800-900.
I wanted to try how fast you can speed through the tech tree as Flauros and was quite successful.
Tech path was agriculture -->Calendar -->Education -->Code of Laws. Then I beelined trade to backfill techs like mining/bronzeworking and took feudalism from writing (Once you build your first library and have >75 gold in your treasury, the iron orb event will trigger. You can buy it for ~80-90 gold and shatter it for a free tech). That was at about turn 110-120.
After getting the essential aristocracy techs:Construction/Sanitation/Philosophy and Way of the wicked, I beelined Astronomy for intercontinental trade, then Engineering for the guild of hammers, followed by a beeline to Arcane Lore.
After that I researched the rest of the tech tree with help from the Eyes and Ears Network and an insane Khazad/Basium Alliance.
Civics were Aristocracy/Religion/Agrarianism all game. I switched labor civics from Education to Slavery to Caste System. I also adopted Overcouncil when it became available.
Early game I had a great start with Yggdrasil nearby and an early Great Prophet from an Event.
I never attacked another civ. It just did not seem worthwile timewise and deity AIs are pretty hard to crack with their XP boni and huge troop numbers.
I still have all the saves from the game if anyone else wants to give it a shot.
Might make for an interesting challenge: Who can reach the end of the techtree as fast as possible? I wonder if there is an even better economic leader, but Flauros with ORG/FIN and most importantly Manors is very hard to top.
Improvements are pretty much only Farms and Windmills. I may have built 1 or 2 cottages.
