Hi guys,
Played a game as Brazil on Immortal last night, it went ok and I managed to barely win the Worlds Fair and had built 5 decent cities. Furthermore my capital didn't have too much jungle so it had some decent production.
The main problem arose when Autocracy became the dominant world ideology. Although Brazil gets massive Tourism during Carnival, I was between Golden Ages when Ideologies kicked in so my Tourism was not that great and was less than the Immortal Difficulty level AI. I possibly could've held on to my initial choice of Order dspite the unhappiness/public opinion penalties, but I thought Autocracy would be an interesting change for CV
I found it to be quite lacklustre for generating Tourism and culture in general. I missed having the extra production from Order which allows me to built culture buildings/wonders quicker not to mention the better food/production from Internal Trade routes.
250 Tourism for every great person seemed lacklustre, and the extra tourism to CIvs fighting a common foe seems way too situational. In my last Order game as France the tenet which generated tons of Tourism for Civs with less happiness was wicked. The Autocracy tenets I chose were nowhere near as powerful.
I had to stop playing as it was getting late, but I've been thinkin what I could've done differently in the game. I think sticking to Order despite the happiness problems would've been best as I would eventually generate more tourism to offset them. Possibly switching to some temporary warmongering with Prachinas once I switched to Autocracy as well?
One major error I'd like to point out was taking the Cathedrals religious belief. Great works of art are not generated near enough in the early game to fill the slots, which is when the faith cost for the buildings is lowest. I prob should've chose Swords into Plowshares instead as I usually do, as Brazil can struggle with growth in Jungle starts unless theres a ton of bananas and growth is key to all victory types.
Has anyone got some successful CV Autocracy stories?
