Idiot riding pedals
Except for 20K, I've been beating DG on all fronts in what I consider a too easy fashion, considering the level. Thus, I just entertained the idea of skipping Deity and trying Sid, see how it goes and go back to momma. I'm not yet at the foetal position crying part though, mind you, so here I come with a query for advice.
I have had the luckiest start ever: alone on my island with 3 luxes to top it off. Year is 670BC, I've been a republic for a turn now and things look OK. The map is tiny and I'm leading territory with my 19 cities. I have iron and horses, but zero infra: corruption is a blasphemy. I don't think a culture win is thinkable, and I IMHO diplo wins aren't too grand as far as victory conditions go. So space or conquest, with an option for domination if I try conquest and see an opening. Both seem very doable to me.
My question is: what to do, with that horrid corruption? The map is tiny and my 2nd city is almost 50% corrupt, I barely have over 3 towns under 50% ... Will it eventually 'pass' as my pop grows up and the corruption count becomes more accurate? Should I buy a court in the FP city and hope it lowers total build time by a few turns?
I'm currently afraid I can't really plan on going to the stars because a) libs would take forever to build and b) corruption would eat the beakers. I'm on a shaky conquest position as well, having no barracks and only a handful of productive cities.
If anyone has any ideas on what to do/how to deal with it I'd welcome them with a very merry hum. QSC and 670BC saves attached.
