So I am playing on Immortal and I have beaten it previously as a science victory and a domination victory which seem simple enough. Now I want to try to beat it with a culture victory and my question is what is the general order in which to build things. I have been playing as Greece/Gorgo...

When attempting to make peace with a AI civ after I captured a good portion of their empire, I find that not only are they willing to cede me the cities I took over, but they are also usually willing to give me some other, and in a lot of cases all their other cities but their capital. Is...

With the understanding that the AI generally does not build air units I figured that, I would build them myself. I managed to build some 3 Jet bombers and began going after their cities. While there were no air defense, I noticed the damage output against the cities were not very high at all...

So I'm in the middle of a standard game, with 8 civs on immortal. I'm doing pretty well but there is one problem. Arabia had an inside track on winning a science victory, so I decided to march troops through them and take them over. It was a bit of a slog, (and jet bombers are really kinda...

1st thought : Why no ancient ruins? 2nd thought : Ewww Iroquois, but at least its on Arborea. 3rd thought : 12 civs on Small Continents? Not sure what the fastest way to win would be, I think I'll try to start Domination and see how far that goes and transition to Science. Just read that...

Your name: bahamuto Game status: Domination Victory Game date: 1585AD Turns played: 227 Base score: 1146 Final score: 2546 - Describe any hindrances you didn't account for with your military strategy. Not to bad. At first I thought Monty would be hard to go after, cause he had 4...

Wow this will be a fun one I think : - Describe any scouting that changed your initial strategy. Well finding Mt Kilimanjaro told me where to put an expansion. After that I didn't really change... I probably should have... - Describe a plan or order in which to conquer your neighbors...

One thing to mention, during my testing, in case your overall progress is slower than planned try to target CIVs that have UU Swordsman like Rome before they can spam them out. That can stop you dead in your tracks.

I hope this isn't one of those times where you don't get horses in the first city.

Oh another option is, Honor or Liberty? My heart says Honor for building up your army quicker My head says liberty to get +1 production, and an early worker. If anyone thinks they will do this sub 100 turns, I would love to see a video of that to see what I do wrong when try domination victories.

So the questions that come to my mind are: 1. Do you move your settler to settle on a hill? 2. Is it worth founding a pantheon/religion? (Probably not) 3. How many cities do you found before taking over cities?

Did you use your UU? Not really I bought one at the end to help a CS. - How useful was your UA? Meh, ok I suppose not much of a difference. I didn't war, and I only captured a few barb outposts. - Did you use spying to your advantage? I don't see how. I was way to far ahead in tech. -...

- What did you think about before starting the game, what was your approach to this game? There was a lot of things to think about. With Raging Barbs, Honor is tempting With Continents you will want Astronomy sooner then later Petra makes you want to veer away from Astronomy You...

- Were you the first to the World Congress? I don't believe so. I was not focusing in on the congress, I was building on my Tech at that time. - How many vote sessions did it take to win? 2 or 3. I believe it was the third vote, but on the 3rd one it wasn't close with 39/35 votes...

- Do you plan to make use of Assuria's UA and do some conquering? Nope, going to try to build up my Tech as fast as possible. Build up some money to start bribing City States. - Which neighbors did you go to war with? Well I did grab a worker, but I forgot from who at this point, I...
