Hey Everyone,
Thanks to your advice on focussing on science and food, I've improved my game significantly, gaining techs a hundred or more years ahead of when I usually would.
However I still end up in situations where I'm not sure how to tackle the enemy AI's. My problem isn't with deciding on a victory type and working towards it, it's with preventing my enemies with achieving theirs first.
In this game I'm playing as Byzantium (for the first time), and I knew from the beginning that I didn't want to try for a culture victory, so I've played accordingly. I'm a little over halfway through the game and there are some powerful empires out there. I've taken the capital of Indonesia after they refused to stop converting my cities, but that's all in terms of conquest. I've been focussing on religious policies. Seemed to make sense as Byzantium.
I'm not really sure what to focus on next, and this is the point I always reach in my games. The Iroquois have grown massive as usual, so I've settled a city near them so that I have a place to launch an attack from when the time comes.
I'm playing on a small fractal map, on Standard Pace, and King difficulty. I've attached the save below in case anyone wants to take a look and give me some feedback on my empire. I'm using the latest beta patch, in case anyone wants to try it and it causes issues.
