Hi I'm slowly learning the game and I've played about a dozen times now with different civ's. I'm having a problem with cultural victory on Immortal.
I've tried twice as Persia. I don't know why but i'm stubborn and want to get it with them. I like the fact that there golden age is epic.
This is sort of the game plan I used in both and lost to a science victory both times at about turn 280-290 on standard speed to the computer...I was about 5-6 policies away.
1. main city up and running.
2.when I got to the policy that gives you a free settler and speeds settlers I then got three more cities up. by about turn 70ish.
3. focused on the top part of the science tree so I letrally was almost at modern age and still making pikeman..lol
4. I had 2 army troops at turn 200ish...lol all I did was build buildings and wonders. I did miss out on alahambra so that's 20% less culture in my main building but still maybe that would be 2-3 more policies.
5. I build science buildings first asap to keep science up and then immediately build cultural buildings. I always made sure to use up slots of the cultural buildings.
6. because of the fact that golden ages are epic and I got the policy tree line that increases golden ages by 50%, my golden ages were 16turns when I use great artist and 20 turns when I got them by happiness. I had a golden age from turn 240 and still had another 40 turns waiting when the game ended at turn 280-290..basically I had over 100 turns of golden ages lined up because all my great artists started poping up at turn 200ish..i used the first 2 for terrain bonus and then the rest I used for golden age.
7. I had 7 city states as allies and 4 others as friends. 3 cultural allies and a mix of the rest.
8. since I had a tone of golden ages I had about 170 gold per turn for well over 100 turns and just kept buying more allies.
My cultural count was 680per turn with 4 cities at turn 280 and I was just about to get the last 2 cities a broadcast tower.
I know I could have done a few things differently but really, the AI is winning really really early with science..i mean turn 280ish is really hard to beat...
Anyone have a good strategy for me, an idea of when to pop up 2nd to 4th forth city...which wonders to go for..anything would be great...
thanks : )
