Hi, this is my first post, not sure if this is the place to ask this, but I'm going to anyway.
I just started civ last week, so I've only got about 54 hours game time behind me. My most recent game, I thought I was doing quite well, then all of a sudden, it tells me I'm too overwhelmed by my foes or something so I lost. I was wondering if someone could tell me what I did wrong or how I can improve my play.
This is civ 5, with the brave new world expansion as well.
My civ was Polynesia, so I was Kamehameha
I was playing on Prince difficulty, with a standard map size and archipelago setup.
Here's my score info:
32 - cities
232 - population
70 - land
75 - wonders
248 - tech
0 - future tech
88 - policies
16 - great works
109 - religion
total - 870
I had 4 cities (including capital), I was in the atomic era.
Policies were Patronage (full), Rationalism (full), Tradition (almost full) and 2 from Commerce.
Gold - 6146
Happiness - 61
Science - 402
I had the 3rd highest amount of delegates (14)
Other civs: Poland, Ottomans, Egypt, France, Persia, China, and then some other city states
I guess my question is, what am I doing wrong? It seemed like I was doing fine, like maybe not prospering, but fine. I certainly didn't have the lowest score. It did say that Suleiman (Ottomans) won from time or something so does that mean everyone but him lost? I certainly wasn't lacking in military, I had a decent navy, lost of ranged land units (cannons, anti-aircraft, planes, infantry), and my cities defense or offense, were all from 90-110.
I'm also noticing that my score is always trailing behind a few civs, why is that, how can they be so fast and what do I do to keep up? Like the Ottomans had 2361 for their score, and Poland was at 1929. I don't think I've ever been the first to enter a new era. If someone who has experience can explain what I'm doing wrong, that would be great.
Thanks.
