This was a fun challenge!

Gonna give this a go. So don't have to worry about a future after Antiquity uh? And only one city. Interesting.

I am apparently missing the Ashoka and Himiko Persona pack. I don't really understand it as I have bought everything that is available in terms of DLCs, I have the deluxe pack and crossroads of the world, must be Founders pack or something like that that is not available. So cannot play, I will...

@pmarc I think the Confucius specialists will benefit from extra cities, although you may be right, it may be better to have a lot of towns to feed the extra growth in a few cities. On your comment on Exploration, yes I think you can do a record time peacefully if you manage the kind of snowball...

Well played @pmarc ! I did not know about the Erdene Zuu cultural gift on age transition of the cavalry units, gonna make a note of that as it is amazing, especially in a game like this. Your Exploration was particularly impressive, will try to download your save and see what you did.

Well I am going to to see if I can find a massively overpowered combo like Isabella and Maya (seems ot be the strongest, we had that in one of the GoTMs and it was amazing), see how fast I can do antiquity and then I wanna try to do manpanzee’s settler spam in turn one in Exploration with some...

I am going to try this approach as I always have too few cities in exploration, which is where they count and I pay for it later, entering Modern with poor science and culture. In Modern, I think if you are going for fastest turns in one victory condition in Modern, then three cities are enough...

Great guide Yanaek. What's a "Golden Horn" Narrative Tag?

Yes you are right, I just checked and you had aproximately 1/3 culture per turn more than I did at t1 Modern. So the math works, and you were reaping the rewards of a really well played exploration age. You got to the start of fascism by t13 and I only got there by t18, we conquered the same...

Turns: 28 Total: 105 + 70 + 28 = 203 Ok that was the fastest I have ever done Modern. I knew I had a good chance to get a great result coming from Exploration, but never thought I could be sub 30. OK, so this was: The plan: Quickly go to war with 3-4 Ais and capture 6 settlements to...

Turns: 70 Total: 105 + 70 = 175 I played this a few days ago but have not had time to post (I just also finished Modern, but there will no spoilers in this post). Writing this from memory as no notes:-( The plan: In Exploration the critical path is the economy legacies. That takes the...

Turn 105 The plan: Take advantage of the Grand Canyon to plant 3 cities, all of them with the extra science. That will allow Xerxes to tech like a champ, instead of the warmonger he is. That should get me 2/3 science legacies. Getting 3 in military with Xerxes is almost a given, we are going to...

Modern: 75 turns, 12 legacies Exploration: 60 turns, 12 legacies Antiquity: 106 turns, 11 legacies Total: 241 turns, 35 legacies Score: 688 Finished a couple of days ago, as expected my modern age was a mess, trying to get all legacies. As mentioned in my exploration post, I kicked Modern off...

(I wrote this a few days ago but forgot to post it) Exploration: 60 turns, 12 legacies Antiquity: 106 turns, 11 legacies Running total: 166 turns, 23 legacies Strategic considerations: By now I have developed a clear strategy for Exploration, that is set up in Antiquity. I prioritize treasure...

106 turn, 11 Legacy points Strategic thoughts, Isabella and Maya were completely overpowered, so they are not a good comparison. With the new way of scoring, looks like 1 legacy is like 6-7 turns, between the knock on effect on next ages and the new formula. Egypt and Hatshepsut are a weak...
