You are right, and I am not really playing much at all. Busy and a bit tired of civ, but I will keep up to date and contribute here, even if not as much as previous games..

Also, let's not forget to quarry the stone when we can. We can consider HG, if only for failgold. Or we can sell it for gpt.

-It's hard to see the settler progression to know if it's going to be gold or copper first. I suggest we take a 2nd look after 10 turns. -Once we get Alpha, and trade for IW (no need for extra beakers, IW is cheap enough already), we can clear the jungle (don't need a city there). The worker...

Some comments without having studied the save too much. Vassals are off. Which makes conquest more demanding in the end, so I'd still be open for dom. I think we should look at trebs at the earliest if we want to go this route. Intercontinental conquest needs an army that can take marginal...

Basically, the OP is stating that CR is useless because it is not the best choice in a particular situation. What the OP has actually proved is simply that the statement "CR is always best" is false. And what can be learned here is that you should not promote your units to CR without thought...

What exactly is the stack of doom problem? As far as I see it, warfare works pretty damn well in this game, with the glaring exception of naval combat.

We will want to get a settler for the good site, and one for the copper. If we can get alpha and trade for IW to clear the jungle, let's do so. But we will also need another worker I think. Maybe we will have to settle the copper first if we are to get it in time for Colossus (which I certainly...

The main factor in base score is population, so have more cities and higher population to maximize it, and the main factor in final score is the base score multiplied. The earlier the finish date, the higher the final score. So, grow population and finish quickly and the score will be big.

Whops, mixing it up with the BOTM there :rolleyes: Plan: Excellent :goodjob: Agree with Alphabet. We can try for CoL next, but I think Currency is better to aim for first, for the expected +3:commerce:/city when we finally find the AIs, and the added trade gold, which can be huge. Then CoL...

Imperialistic/Aggressive? A regular neo-conservative combo. Maybe not... Creative/Spiritual sounds better eh :p I'd say I'm definitely Philosophical (even have a piece of paper to support it), but otherwise? Probably Organized, but only since Financial is a separate trait, which is an area...

Hey, looks good initially, but I need to take a closer look at some things later today. I have been quite busy so have not really looked much at the game for the past week. Can we chop the forest at Paris? It seems better than running citizens and such. We probably should grab a 2nd galley...

Start a custom game and check the "One city challenge" box before starting.

Hey dredd, looks good. But the save on the site does not seem to be the latest one. Did you upload it? Such a large amount of land available makes me wonder if domination might be better to aim for than conquest. Also weird that the AI would expand more slowly, since they supposedly got plenty...

Lyons: Yes, unless we settle with the three good tiles in the initial 8, then we are better off settling somewhere else now. The purpose of this city is meant to get online and productive quickly to help with REX. I prefer this approach then.

There is no way we are settling a 2nd city on that island only to grab silks.. And if we desperately need happiness (long term, since calendar is probably not worth self-teching), we may as well settle ON the silk and work coast tiles anyway, since plains silk is only 1F, and a non-food city...
