If done right, getting 2-3 additional cities before the NC will not significantly delay your NC. I usually grow my capital to size 4 and then get 2-3 settlers. If you don't have the space to settle more cities after that, either go for cv or sv on 3-4 cities or start building units... If you...

6 is the maximum you will usually get to (Wheat on Grassland or Flood Plains (3 Food), with a Farm (+2 Food) and in a city with a Granary (+1 Food)). The only way to get more than that, you have to get the Sun God Pantheon, but the Problem with that Pantheon is if you pick it, you have no...

I finished on turn 389 (I think). I am fine with being excluded from the spreadsheet for extreme stupidity and not keeping the Victory Screenshot :goodjob:

I would try playin with fewer opponents. Having 12 civs on the map increases the likelyhood of a runaway civ at the other end of the map that you don't meet or can't do much about until its too late.

To be fair, the +10 food IS more important than the Faith in the early game - but if you go for no faith pantheon, you have to gamble on getting one from the AI later in the game because chances are you won't be founding & spreading a religion... in this case, that didn't work...

Huh, thought I had fixed that, but apparently not... don't have the Screen Cap anymore aparently, I'll see if I can get one out of the autosaves [pissed] Condensed Version of what happened: Basically went up to Artillery without any major conquests because I couldn't go 10 turns of peace...

Well... On my third try I managed the Challenge as well.

Get an early Shrine and grab the Earth Mother Pantheon... with that much Salt, that should give you a Religion and the Faith for 3-4 Faith-Bought GS, which should cut something like 20 Turns off the Victory time and put you in the Ballpark of where you were aiming for... AFAIK a sub-200 Turn SV...

The only way I know is to check through the notification log, but I wouldn't want to be the one to search an entire game for something...

Unless I have a start with no production, I usually build the monument, because otherwise I tend to find that I need to build the amphitheatre at a point where I really need the production for other things...

Hmm... Had a stab at a Liberty Opener into domination victory on this map, but never could seem to get into a war with Pocatello or Alex without having the other DoW me halfway through the game :/

1. I don't think the game upload dates matter, just as long as there ARE some challenges... 2. Don't care either... 3. I would say leave that up to the OP... winning with a certain victory condition can actually be the challenge rather than winning at all, I think it tends to add some spice to...

Did france build the great firewall to negate internet bonus?

The Iroquois do tend to be one of the civilizations that are harder to beat, but imho korea and the inka are much worse...

A couple of quick notes on domination games as Persia: - If you're going for early wars Liberty can often be better than Tradition, because it allows you to get your Cities up quicker. If there are a lot of long roads to build to get through rough terrain, building the Pyramids can help you do...
