I am at turn 100, and I've had the slow safe start that I went for. I've got 6 cities, all built with settlers. No wars. Just entered the renaisance which isn't too bad given I have only just built a single campus. *SPOILER* I have met all civs. I thought this was a continent map, but I must...

Turn 100, and things are going fairly well. I have no experience with OCC, but I recall a GoTM some time ago with a similar start to this one. In that game, I did do a few practice-runs and was surprised how good ToA was. Thus I decided to go all in for ToA in this game, and committing to a...

This is going to be a long game :) -My first two settlers got captured by barbarians -My two scouts died before scouting the continent -I only just got my first trade route going (no caravans possible and too much barb activity for ships) I am nowhere near building NC yet at turn 100. Four...

omg, I actually thought my start was [close to] the theoretically fastest growth start possible! You are 1 pop higher than me 17 turns sooner! :crazyeye:

Oh, there is an opening action thread! I only looked above the line (facepalm). - What did you think about before starting the game, what was your approach to this game? I didn't think;) I have never played OCC before, I didn't prepare, I didn't think. My approach was to stay peaceful and spam...

Better not miss Petra...

Yes, I discovered this during the game. However, it would have taken too many turns to build monuments and amphitheaters in the captured cities.

Nice. Not killing Alexander, and thus avoiding the warmonger penalty, is huge. I just didn't think it would be possible.

I went east with my warrior, and spent 10 min debating whether to settle in place or move to the hill :blush: In the end I went for the hill. After finding Alexander on MY island a change of strategy was called for. Keeping the game peaceful becomes almost impossible at this point, so I...

Generally this was a very good start. I did take my time building up my base before creating an army, and I hope I didn't spend too much time growing my cities. Once I had enough units, I went east to kill Ramkhamhaeng before tackling Ashurbanipal in the south. As the pic demonstrates, he was in...

Loss turn 293. I overestimated how little science you get for great scientists on deity difficulty. Ashurbanipal ran away with it and conquered the whole world, but for their friends Sweeden. I just could not keep up. I would have needed at least another 50 turns to win a science victory, and...

I was very lucky on the first few turns, but it was always going to be a slow start ;) Very peaceful so far, I've got 4 cities up + NC. The Assyrians are kicking Korean butt, but they have so far left me to myself. Happiness has been the limiting factor with 4 cities and not too many...
