Ok, I finally played a game with fountain of youth in it. as predicted, it has been an absolute crushing of the ai. and it didn't hurt that cerro de potosi was also close by. yes, my 2nd city was actually cerro de potosi, 3rd city was fountain of youth. oh, and I was playing babylon for the first time in a long time just to see how they have fared post-patch. they did fine btw, though it didn't hurt that I was able to snag the GL, oracle, and PT. I've been #1 in score for basically the entire game. I wish it had been deity instead of immortal, regardless the poor ai has been absolutely toast. cerro de potosi has been nearly as important as the foy, that extra +10 gold every single turn is just absurd.
too bad I got them this game, my last game I was spain
Surprisingly, the game has still been fun. I still had to play the diplo game by keeping the mongols passive (returned their captured worker on turn 50 or so) on my rear flank, and I've gotten plenty of dow's even though I've been very nice to everybody (except washington). biggest change was being able to sell every single happiness resource a few times before getting too much unhappiness for the fountain to take care of, it's just like 2 untradeable happiness resources if you don't go on a killing spree. I didn't, in fact I have literally no warmonger hate from anybody, most of the ai civs hate me now just b/c I'm so far out in front in 850ad.
I'll post a savegame when I get home later, both from my start and my current situation. I admit that I nearly rage-quit when I saw them both so early, but I'm glad that I played the game out.
