Civilization 5 - Game of the Month Training Series Game 106
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\//////////////////////////////////////////

Welcome to the One Hundred and Eighth game in the GOTM V Training Series! There are plenty of features in Civilization 5 Brave New World to explore and the Training Series games will allow new and old GOTM fans to try out these features in a friendly environment. You are all encouraged to post your questions, stories, advice, tricks and failures in the dedicated game threads described below. You can read more about the GOTM and Training Series concept in this thread. Before going into the details of this game, we would like to ask you to abide to our most sacred rule: don’t replay any turns. If you make a mistake, accept it and try to recover.

Please note: If you wish to make a video of your game, please do not post any links to it until after the game submission date has passed. This is because of the potential spoilers that are created by posting before the end date. Thank you for your cooperation.

In this game, the designated VC is Science. All VCs are enabled but players results will be published by fastest Science victory.

In this game you will play as Wu Zetian and lead the Chinese Empire to victory. It's a standard-sized map played at King difficulty and at standard pace. Science is the designated VC for this game. You will have until May 15th to complete the game and submit.

Information about threads associated with TSG
TSG Announcement thread (this one). This thread is used to announce the game and clarify the settings and rules (don’t be afraid to ask questions). It’s also used to discuss the game before you start, and post problems with opening the save. Please don’t post any information from a game you have started. Instead use the next thread.

Opening Actions thread. This thread is used to discuss the game once it's on the way. There are no reading or posting restrictions as such (apart from normal decency), although we encourage players to use the spoiler tags for screenshots. Here you can post questions related to the game and share your achievements/anger/frustration/victories while you play. During the time the game is active, please do not post any information concerning the game outside of the spoiler threads including screen shots, videos, or recorded/live-cast Let's Plays on other websites.

After Actions thread. In this thread you can post the results of your game. Please state (preferably in the post title) your victory date and score, as recorded in the Hall of Fame, and the most important: your path to glory! We will create a separate thread with the results at the end of the one month submission period (sorted by date and score). Players are encouraged to provide feedback on the game. Some players like to replay the game, and although we will not record the results from a replay, you can still post your new experiences. The game will not be closed as such, but after one month, the results will be compiled, and will not necessarily be updated with reports coming in after the finish date.

File Upload System
We now have a game file upload system you can find here. Please use it to upload your completed first attempt by saving the game on the turn after your victory or defeat. (by using the "lemme play one more turn" feature) Please note, you must submit your game on the turn following Victory. If you continue to play, the game overwrites the data and your submission could be rejected by the submission system.

This game runs for a month and ends May 15th, 2015.


The save will be available for download on April 15th, 2015, midnight Central Standard time (UTC -6:00) in the US.

The Save can be found here.
 
Agreed that looks an ugly staring location, is that a hill to the S/E of the warrior? move there and see if there's anything worth moving for? In any case this is King so you can probably spend a few turns to find a better place to settle the capital. On the other hand there is a lot of forests so movement is going to be slooooow!
 
I'm inclined to move to the hill sw of the settler and use the mountain for the next settler. And maybe start with a worker first and tech mining first and start chopping all that forest early.
 
Game Version: This game was created in Civ5 Brave New World version 1.0.3.276. Nebuchadnezzar, Korea, and Wonders of the Ancient World DLC are required for this game and the Gods and Kings expansion is required.

Is this just a typo or the game was really created in 1.0.3.276 version? I checked my version and it says 1.0.3.279 ...
 
Thankfully no dilemma between settling on the coast or a river!
 
Jungle to the south, and a mountain to the northeast. Both prime science spots. I anticipate these being good spots to found Beijing and Shanghai. I have a suspicion that Korea and Babylon will show up with beakers in tow, so China's flood of Great Generals paired with the Chu-Ko-Nu will probably be necessary to keep them in check.
