I did the Alexander necro strat, so straight liberty. Honestly I was limited by the Liberty Musician timing more than anything else.

Submitted a 216 but it's very unoptimized. Overshot my science with like 30k trying to maximize it. Sub 200 is probably possible with the start.

Submitted a turn 121 win to get things started. Far from optimized as it's several years since I did this strat last time.

Seems like a golden opportunity to grab the number 1 spot! Should be easy enough to cheese on some sort of duel map. In general, the most common speed in HOF games by far is Standard speed. Also, for culture victories not a whole lot of people submit "normal" victories where you just build...

The Civilization 5 HOF already has the ad-hoc search where you can filter only on some of the options. For example if you want to search for the fastest Deity Science Victory on Standard speed but on any map/size/leader since they're not as relevant for that condition, you can visit...

If you're reasonably close to the end I would generally recommend finishing the game anyway and submitting it. There are some advantages to doing this: Even slow wins count towards the Veni Vidi Vici achievement. Practicing the endgame is also important. You would hate to restart 20 times...

You might have to use "Run as administrator" while opening the editor if the file is in a protected folder such as inside Program Files.

Decided to do a couple of extra attempts and you were right. Assuming you find a map where you can meet everyone without caravels, it's much better to go full Piety. I did not consider that using the free Great Prophet from finisher to enhance saves a lot of time. Unfortunately I was still...

Submitted a very respectable turn 348 win. This is the final Empire: As you can see there are not many players remaining in the game. It started out when I found the very attractive Sigtuna spot with King Solomon's Mines, 3 Salts and 2 other luxaries. Problem was it was straight between...

It does yes, but I figured since you need to get Caravels to meet the other players anyway I wasn't in a huge hurry to get the Sacred Sites tenet. Maybe it's better to go Piety right away though, dunno.

Submitted a "normal" culture game (no sacred sites) with a turn 179 win. Not very spectacular or optimized in any way, thought I was gonna need the Internet but suddenly I was "influential in 8 turns" or less with everyone much earlier than I thought. Tried for a Sacred Sites strategy twice but...

Managed a decent but not very optimized turn 112 win. As there's no way around having to get Astronomy there's no need to be super aggressive early. I went Philosophy->Construction->Astronomy->Navigation->Machinery basically. Had 10 Galleases ready to be upgraded to Frigates and spread them out...

Been busy this period so not much time to try many times. Submitted the one run that I did play which was turn 270. Not very impressive, I kind of failed at almost anything.

Well, first (real) attempt was a massive failure. The Frontier map seems to be really really shy on luxaries, across ~10 starts none had more than 2 accessible ones (usually 2 in capital and literally never a single one for an expansiopn). I always end up falling behind early because of having...

Did another attempt, managed to win turn 209 even with some huge mistakes. Decided to try a different strategy in the beginning, picking up 3 points in Liberty before going into and filling out Tradition (then went back for an extra scientist from Liberty after getting the needed points in...
