Quick antiquity before the patch -- Deity, Large Continents & Islands, everything standard -- 99 turns Mementos = sci attribute + movement to generals @Bleidraner's run with the early horseman gave me inspiration to try fast tracking civ wipes. Gave a swing with Trung Trac + Maya since you get...

This is awesome but also had to be the most tedious gameplay possible — cheers for giving a template of what’s possible. How many commanders did you use in antiquity? What was your settlement count at end of antiquity? Do you have a screenshot of the end of antiquity map? Thanks!

Cool thread! Couple thoughts: I think all fast victory attempts should be played on continuity (which adds depth to late age decision making) and need to count the sum of all turns across the ages (aligned with GotM) vs just the modern age turn count. If you measure "fast" this way, it will...

Just finished my first full run through on the new patch. Not a good showing in exploration and modern era, but a top tier antiquity on this patch. Isabella leading Maya / Abbasids / Japan 91 + 71 + 42 = 203 turns Mementos by era: Merchant's saddle (movement to scouts, settlers) + queen's...

Awesome notes! Can you post antiquity map end of age? I’m always curious how civ elims happen — sometimes it is super easy and sometimes it feels like deck stacked against you — just curious the proximity of the civ and the leader/civ combo — thanks in advance

I have been wondering if we'll get to a place where taking initially unintuitive paths is more optimal than going straight for VC yields -- in civ6 culture+faith was way more optimal for fast science than going for science yields. Obviously the mechanics were different, but hoping some fun paths...

What antiquity age progressions did you trigger across legacy paths, future tech/civics and civ wipes? I’m super interested in antiquity turn shaving but also wondering if optimizing for the lowest antiquity turn count via a specific leader/civ combo impacts future age turn potential, e.g. going...

Weird — I have countdown off and otherwise default (or so I thought) settings — will have to double check and then send a screenshot if I can’t figure it out. EDIT-3: Confirmed visual bug, pretty odd. It's not just on that screenshot, if I hover over the blue science '+' age progress icon the...

in my most recent game the legacy path age progression values were 0-5-5 instead of 5-5-10 did age progression by legacy path get reduced in the patch or do I have some weird setting turned on I am not seeing? :hammer2:

This GotM is also on Immortal.

Anyone put together a sub 100 antiquity yet? I’m not sure it’s possible without at least one civ wipe.

Went on a mission to see how well Ibn Battuta w/ Greece city state strategy could perform for fast science since it wasn't discussed. It took a few tries but I eventually got everything to align for my best Antiquity to date. I kept getting around 108-112 and struggled to get a 2nd civ...

Realized I'm posting about this in the wrong forum 🫠 This is my best so far on the new patch with 10 turn timers: Settings: Deity / Standard Speed / Large / Pangea Plus [Science] Isabella 194 total turns (Maya - 108, Abbasid - 56, Meiji Japan - 30) I am convinced this triumvirate is the...

Settings: Deity / Standard Speed / Large / Pangea Plus [Culture] Napoleon Revolutionary Greece - 110 Ming - 74 Siam - 22 206 total turns

Settings: Deity / Standard Speed / Large / Pangea Plus [Science] Isabella Maya - 108 Abbasid - 56 Meiji Japan - 30 194 total turns This is probably near best I can imagine with how I'm approaching it. Probably some room in Antiquity to get sub 100.
