I am not good at civ5, I've just been playing casually since civ3 and Im 20, which means for around to half my life.
I always do the same thing, and I play on immortal, which makes me wonder what the experts think of it:
- build a monument immediately
- ignore faith and religion altogether because cannot figure out how to get it at the pace of other civs on immortal. ends up being a waste of money and time because I cant compete.
- go straight to great library. this delays first city alot.
- always go for tradition first for the +3 culture in home city, then get honor to gain culture from killed barbarians (I always play on raging barbarians) then get Liberty until I reach "each city you found will increase the culture cost of policies by 33% less than usual" then settle my second city.
-stay on two or three workers for a very long time and never automate them.
- prioritize science buildings for the rest of the game
- rush to frigates then rush to oil then rush to planes
I dont win games on immortal but I survive until someone else gets a culture victory
I cant figure out how to do anything in civ5 without rushing to great library.
is this a bad strategy? I do this over and over. just feels comfortable.
