It depends on the kind of challenge, personally I think it does (that's why I included the information about the lost game).

Hi, tried this one as well and was nicely killed by our special friend around T70 at first - for some reason nobody settled near him and he settled towards me - despite having bribed him constantly I was basically his only target... ;) Won a science victory at T263 with the other AIs...

Have to agree here, ending up with the 2nd religion (jungle was taken by the Celts) despite getting pottery early will cost me a couple of early social policies in the end, making it much harder to finish pre-T200.

About to continue this one on T136 - saving now before taking any break, it does help with not having to reload from an autosave after the fairly likely crash after getting back. We puppeted Vienna around T110 and after having build the NC 2 more cities were founded. Tulum (SE of the capital...

Hi, after having just crashed at T100 this seems to be a good time to give a brief synopsis of what happened so far: We (for the Mayans this seems more appropriate ;) ) decided to play this one wide while building 4 cities at first and going more wide after having build NC. We settled...

For a little experiment I loaded up on the turn I conquered Rome and annexed the city this time (T131). Took 2 additional Roman cities in addition to Carthago (who DOW me after taking Rome). Currently I am in a fairly similar position as in the original game at T191, despite being screwed for...

Hi, I haven't played CIV for quite some time, but G&K got me started again ;) Settled in place and build my 2nd city to the east - just in reach of the sugar/gold/pearls (send a work boat the long way around to get them) - and my 3rd and final one at the coast/river in the desert to the...

More information about my 2nd game (delayed ICS): CharonJr

Since I have pretty much botched my initial attempt to stay at one strategy I want to see how much better I can be by staying focused. Due to this I will try to stay at 1 city till I got the most important SPs (Liberty up to Meritocracy and Freedom). Then start to ICS, in the meantime take as...

And your number of cities/population seems to have a fairly large influence on the score, too. CharonJr

Concerning aluminium I am pretty sure that I had 2 sources, but they might have been on the other continent, IIRC I only saw oil on the other continent, too. CharonJr

Hi, I havent been sure which way to play that one from the beginning, since I was torn between establishing 2-3 cities max, then puppet till I got all the SPs I want, or pretty much ICS from the beginning. In the end I did a bit of both which is most likely the worst way to play that one...

Since you already seem to be close to -10 happiness annexing small puppets and razing them (resettle yoursef) might not be an option now, but if you happen to get some breathing room it might help. Especially since you can those cities not to grow despite having this large number of maritime...
