Hi all,
I'm playing a standard continents map, with 6 civs and 8 CS, and trying for a science vic. I'm playing the Shoshone and have quit about 4 games in a row now because I can see the situation is futile. In the last game I was just researching my first Ren tech and someone COMPLETED P.Tower!
I've just started playing Immortal and on Emperor I won in several ways by following pretty much the same starting strategy of getting 3 cities really pumping (sometimes just 2 if I already have a coastal one) before doing anything else. I went full tradition first with the exception of opening the honour tree to get the early culture bonuses from killing barbs (very helpful). On Emperor I could get several early wonders but on Immortal I only go for is M.Helicarnassus and, maybe, Oracle for the scientist point and extra policy. Since I'm going for a sic vic, I get libraries built or bought as fast as I can and get NC before building my third city (before T100 is the idea).
Basically, this is how I get going and I'm failing epically. Most of the other civs are more advanced than me and there's usually one that is miles ahead and I just don't get how! All vics become impossible because I'm too far behind.
I would love it if you guys could give me some advice because this is getting really frustrating! So, thanks in advance
