Hey everybody.
Just got my first victory in on immortal difficulty, so I thought I would brag a bit
Got a good area from the start with lots of salt, wheat and cows. A chain of mountains to the north protected me from the chinese and french setting up close to me, while I had plenty of room to expand south with no competetion, 8-10 cities big area. The mountainchain only had a couple of narrow passes to protect when the french first declared war on me. Actually a spearman more or less played Leonides and his 300 men by holding off the french invasion for an eternety in a pass between the mountains.
I missed stonehenge and great library, but got myself the pyramids and hanging gardens. from the medival era and on, I got just about every wonder except a select few really bad ones.
I never declared war in the game. I upheld peace and research treaties with 4-5 nations most of the time, while pounding back on those that declared was on me. In the late game I destroyed the french and cartagians and grabbed their land.
I got so far ahead technologically in the late game, that my closest competator was an entire era behind me at all times. So it not a single nuclear bomb was ever dropped.
I won diplomatically with 19 votes (although I would also easily have won space race), 17 from city state allies!
My ending stats were approx:
3500 sience/turn
200 piety/turn (spamming padogas)
250 culture/turn
+50 happiness with 30+ cities
Ending score was 3850, so the highest ranking. Ceasar.
A little break from civ now
btw: commerce policy is something like the best in the game. +2 happiness from each reasource? Seriously.
