Hello,
I am sharing here a rather overpowered way to beat Apollo difficulty (version 1.0.2.666). By the end of this Turn 230 Emancipation victory (Atlantean all standard, using Elodie), I was earning 863 breakers per turn, while the 2nd, 3rd, 4th place AI was earning 235, 303, and 254.
In short:
- Aggressive early game, rob AI's workers.
- Trade with large AI cities (mostly the capital) ASAP.
- Mid game, rush for Cognition and Terraforming tech, spam Academies on good tiles (grassland, riverside plain) & Terrascape on bad tiles (all else).
- To sustain the upkeep: Spam solar satellite, rent strategic resources to friendlies, supremacy lv 3 (no road upkeep), Master of Control wonder (no worker upkeep)
- 10 Prosperity virtues in a row followed by 10 Knowledge virtues in a row. Ignore all else.
- Solve quests that gives affinity bonus
I am going to supply some screenshots below.
