Chieftain
Played up to turn 200 so far, here's what happened so far:
Spoiler :
- Once I figured out we were on an island with 2 other civs, I knew that in the end would have to kill them both and take over the whole continent
- Let the Civs expand, to create my future puppet cities
- Went for an NC start: built scout, worker, library, NC, x4 warriors (once I saw iron in capital)
- Purchased a settler and sent it south of the capital to the other river where the Gems were
- Rome declared war on me
- Upgraded warriors to swordsmen and began the "Great Roman Campaign"
- Reduced Rome to 1 city in the south Tundra, accepted Peace
- Began the "Great Persian Campaign" right afterwards to take advantage of the swordsmen....Persia still had not produced any swordsmen
- Wiped out Persia
- During the military campaigns, sailed the world and met all the other civs
- After wiping out Persia, turned back and wiped out Rome (who had started building cities around my puppets)
- After wiping out Rome, suddenly all the other Civs have denounced me !! I am teching towards the spaceship parts, hopefully I can get it all done before the other Civs attack me
- Really struggling to keep my cities happy
Not sure if this should be considered an exploit??
It's just happened that in my capital I am producing ~20 gpp/turn for both Science and Engineer. If I tweak the gpp production when approaching the threshold for generating a great person, I can generate a Great Scientist and Great Engineer each time I hit the pop threshold.
Haha that seems like a bug.
Regarding the denunciations, maybe you have to destroy the civs on your continent before they meet the other civs? I don't think I was penalized diplomatically for destroying the Romans and Persians, but I hadn't met the others yet at the time.
