I cut this down to T159. Went a rather different path midway with Harappans->Celts->Umayyads->Mughal->Siam->Japanese. Umayyads let you push your science so that when you go Mughal you are ready for the EU which is deadly. I screwed up though and finished a war too soon and took too long to...

I was surprised how much I liked the Celts. I almost always go Achaemenid or Greece but Celts were available which is rare and having monster size cities with Harappans->Celts ties in well with Khmer Barays. However I really missed those Immortals. Gaesati are decent but can't one-shot cavalry...

So finally got this down to T160 on HK difficulty at normal speed with the following cultures: Harappans->Celts->Khmer->Joseon->France->Turks. Yea Khmer is OP but really need that production boost at that point in the game. I tried an alternative using Siam instead of France and was surprised I...

Oh wow, I only just realized that I wasn't focusing on the final techs for a much faster tech finish. I was thinking how in hell did you get sub 150 endings and now I see lol. Can't believe I wasn't paying attention to this. I was just mindlessly clicking each tech as I went after I got Space...

It sounds like this won't get fixed till the October 28 patch :(. I wasn't there for Civ 6 in the beginning but in my eyes it is equivalent of a SV not working in Civ 6 at launch and Firaxis ignoring it for 6 weeks. Still love the game but I'm not impressed with how Amplitude handles game...

Ok, here is my assessment after giving the Hittites a serious try yesterday. They get selected by the AI pretty fast around T10 at the latest so I used a previous save I had on a normal size HK difficulty map that met the requirements to go ancient at T7 for testing. First off, the great thing...

Totally agree with your conclusion. The Sept 17 patch broke so many things but I still enjoy the game. They need to fix the game breaking bugs asap and adding more depth and content and DLC will keep me entertained for a long time. I was going to write a review on Steam but I want to wait till...

I will have to give that a try, Taefin. Maybe later tonight :)

Thanks for mentioning this. I finally got out of my comfort zone and tried out Teutons and Ottomans and had the best science game yet. Mars Colony built at T188 with a 3k fame lead on HK difficulty so would be a T190 win without the bug. Ottomans were a real joy especially with the Janissary and...

Yea but typically I spread my territories closer and closer to the enemy attaching as I go. Now I just lay down a garrison at an attached outpost right at their front door to spawn in a stack. Meanwhile I am building useful EQ at my attached outposts. Sure the Awari allows you to spawn at an...

Their EQ is absolute garbage so I stay away from them. Their LT is good but Mycenaean is even better. The Gigir EU is useless for sieges but the suppression is powerful. The Mycenaean promochoi is better IMHO. I don't know what the devs were thinking with the EQ. No stats at all, just a spawn...

Goth is just a terrible civ. I hope they rework them someday. I did British for the first time in my "take over the world game". I've had enough science wins so this time I'm only stopping when everyone is wiped from the map. So expansionist Britain works well here with the flow of money to...

OMFG, found a new favorite trio of Mycenaen->Greece->Byzantine! I bet Egypt is even better for this to give you the production boost for Greece CM. Basically your goal is to get to Varangian Gurards ASAP which you can do far earlier than Halberdiers. Pumping out 43 CS, 2 star VGs on HK...

Yea sadly my games are over when I mostly mopping up with Line Infantry, maybe some anti-air guns. Don't ever get a chance to enjoy stuff like tanks, pmvs and such.

Yea I'm actually liking the Mycenaeans more than any civ now if I'm lucky enough to get a fast start. The trio of LT/EQ/EU means you can get a force of promachoi bullies out quickly for early conquest. You just need a really lucky start as Harappans/Mycenaeans are gone around T8-T9 in my experience.
