Welcome to CivFanatics and Game of the Month.All was going well until turn 60.
4 cities, 2 wars 4 spearmens (didn't research archery...)
Germany DoW... (maybe I traded too much with Iroquois)
Turn 63 Chinees DoW followed on turn 64 by Arabia...
I'm surprised I lasted up 'till turn 100...
Are you still battling?
Sadly, I had to give up this game at turn 122 because the waiting time between turns grew too long, animations got stuck halfway, etc. We had just built Sistine Chapel and were doing fine, after helping the Iroquois liberate Osininka.
lost Orleans (Gold city) to Arab onslaught of Trebs, swords, xbows.
Germany swarming now too with rifles and cannons (plus CS support), and I'm still 11 turns away from Gunpowder.
Time to resign, but I don't see how to retire/resign in Civ5.
Is there a way to do that?
I'll put it on the list for the Mod we'll need to make, if the .dll file ever gets released...i wish i knew of a way. how many times you conceded/forfeited would be an interesting stat to keep track of.

I'm having a go as a OCC cultural victory. It's going ok for the moment, but I have a feeling it may end badly.
Turn 54 currently.
Here's what happened:
- Moved the warrior two south on the hill, saw a sheep, deer, sheep, to the south, decided to settle on furs to get the sheep, deer, sheep in three tile radius.
Build Order:
Scout -> Worker -> Granary -> Library -> (currently) The Oracle
Tech Order:
Pottery -> Writing -> Philosophy -> Trapping -> Archery -> Mining -> (currently Bronze Working)
I've also been lucky enough to pop Animal Husbandry and Calendar from huts.
I got my warrior upgraded by a hut to a spearman, it did a short loop starting to head south west, around the mountains north and then back south east to the capital to defend against barbarians. It then had to use one promotion to instant heal, later I also purchased an archer immediately after researching Archery (while I'm busy building The Oracle).
Also, a few turns ago I saw a barbarian worker wandering unaccompanied towards my territory. I grabbed it so now I've got two workers.
My scout is started of going south east, it is now far east with the Indians. It also very recently found a surprise unpopped hut and got upgraded to an archer (with scout movement, which may come in handy).
With policy I've gone Tradition only, Legalism firstly for a free monument, then Landed Elite for extra capital food. I then went the +15% wonder building one.
I'm 6 turns from building The Oracle, and about the same amount away from the next policy, so that should complete the tradition tree. I'm planning to go Piety next.
Any advice would be appreciated, and I've also got a few questions:
(1) When should I sign research agreements? I've got over 500 gold at the moment (significantly from one-way open borders agreements) but I'm hesitant about signing research agreements until the median tech cost goes up, so I get better bang for my buck. When would be the best time for research agreements?
(2) I'll eventually get a Great Scientist from the Oracle, but what should I do with them?
(3) Is it worth dealing with city states? Perhaps only cultural ones (per city food isn't much good)? Or should I save money for research agreements?
(4) I feel like I'm going to need rationalism at some point so I don't get too far behind in Science, but it conflicts with Piety. How should I manage this?
(5) Any other tips?
