srry for late answer Actually, for an impressive 100k game you cant go past kuningas in COTM15. Jason of 13130 points for gold as well as 850AD finish :king:. Although there were no cheap buildings with Iroquois, the agri trait was a help with faster growth and pop rushing. Well the...

Congrats to Drazek, a truly impressive 20k date, :hatsoff: But even more impressive IMO is a rare 20k gold medal - well done Ignas :king:. This game reinforced to me the need for rapid science for early Shakes in a 20k game. The added culture and added shields are the key. An early heroic...

:hatsoff: I believe that equals Lord Hamster's best date for a 20k COTM victory :goodjob:

Well, MM paradise (or hell depending on your perspective) growing and shinking the capital. I kept a bunch of 24 workers on duty for the capital from onset of railroads till end of game. These ensured 1 turn pollution clean up as well as minimising wastage of shields. On final turn mined tiles...

20k victory in 1485 AD Culture builds Palace 3950 BC Temple 3050 BC Oracle 1400 BC MoM 1200 BC Library 1175 BC Great Library 900 BC Colosseum 875 BC Pyramids 650 BC Cathedral...

Open, going for 20k in capital, didnt keep notes my thoughts exactly! Wishing I had gone for a different VC seeing Ignas's quality start, unfortunately 20k doesnt lend itself to swapping goals. [edit - see DWetzel's also excellent start was on predator :goodjob:, although cpt looks good at...

OK sweating over :lol: Thanks guys for great competition :goodjob:. Bad luck on the Babs. It was certainly neck and neck otherwise. Very interesting comparison between knights v cavalry.

Excellent :goodjob: Now off to read Klarius's thread early report, they lost the Babs and finished in 700AD So well done guys, enjoyed playing this with a great bunch of fellow civvers :trophy: :high5: :cheers:

Had a look at the save, we are so nearly there. Note Aztecs in despotism, suggest gifting them republic so they cant rush more units I see the Mongols have a galley north of almost undefended Egypt. Hopefully they dont drop off 2 units as we only have 1 knight on the island and an...

Lets see if we get republic, then see how long it would take to get currency. If not too long, it may still be worth shooting for 2nd tier tech.

Well done Più Freddo :goodjob: Lets cross our fingers for no flips and no sneak attacks :please:

The idea I had was to gift a recently taken city to someone with low culture far away (eg Babylon). Our forces can then proceed to take remainder of island without worrying about quelling resistors. When the original inhabitants of the island have been removed, with the capital far away...

Maybe its my ideas that dont click, certainly I was wrong about rushing temples for expansion now, that shoud wait at least another 5 turns. Seriously, my thoughts were just my suggestions of how to get troops to the front and rush settlers in a timely manner, there are likely better options...

Doh! That's twice I've made that mistake :spank:

:salute: Abegweit Yea, I noticed you lurking a week or so ago, nice to know you're still around. We miss you Cheers mate :beer:
