SV T220 - Thanks for the game! Settled one to the East for the early culture. Managed to pick up Lady for the marsh power and the culture from HS belief. Didn't focus much on religion for once and pushed hard for Campus, money (harbor/CH), and IZ in cities. Got Oracle, Kilwa, Maus, and all...

CV T177 - Score 1,156 Fun game. wasted some time getting engineers that didn't speed up things as much as I thought - I snagged a settler from barbs in the lake and settled a city close to Dido to get trade routes to the AI on that side of them map which was a lot of help. All peaceful game...

T226 SV Decent, if slow game after a brief run in the middle to take over the continent end of Classical/beginning of Medieval. Was more worried about dramatic ages and razed a couple cities without decent tiles or luxuries to keep the number lower, but it wouldn't have mattered and just...

T164 Domination Victory Took a little longer than necessary due to having to let friendships run out – one of which was an accident (Portugal) – sat around his cap for 15 turns waiting for it to expire. Settled a city on south side of Dido lake and rushed a canal to get some boats in to clear...

T166 SV (accidently hit end turn when trying to clear up troops after...gets me in trouble often) Fun game - started with cap on only industry site as I wanted the early pantheon but to work a better tile. Took the bonus of faith/prod to strategics as I'd revealed plenty of horses and wanted...

T302 SV – T203SV, apparently I mixed the number-order up. I won science on the turn rollover when my culture would have become dominant – I hastily wiped America’s last 2 cities to make sure of it instead of taking the chance. Was at 23 light years per turn within only a few turns – two...

T184 CV Great game, the relics were powerful along with sculptures and artifacts. Got Kandy with only 1 wonder discovered and managed to suz and explore the rest of the map. Did a LOT of city-state quests to end up with all of them under my control. The only city I settled not on my continent...

T200 SV (after T 195 CV, had removed anything that generated tourism many turns before, including avoiding allied status and open borders with anyone, but the Computers and Civic that gave +25% tourism were too much - couldn't war anyone as friendships weren't expiring or too far away) Really...

T123 RV Fun, relaxing game. Spent way too much time getting some fun wonders and running all over the map with the infinitely expanding army. So many tribal huts! Religion - Desert Folklore pantheon (got a relic in 2nd hut), production from HS adjacency and Religious Zeal (no movement...

CV T199 Plan - use the Marae ability and fish power to grow my empire and reach Conservation quickly, followed by Eco civic plus Flight and Computers on the science side. Plotted all settles with the idea of maximum national parks in the later game, though some islands didn't allow for that and...

SV - Turn 298 - Score of 891 WOW - one of the ugliest games I've ever played - combo of all the highest stress modes - managed dark age Classic (held 2nd/3rd/4th city settles until after crossing into it) and the rest Golden. Held back on lots of milestones to maximize era score - got a very...

DV - Turn 234 - 1035 Score Fun game - Have never played Marathon and it threw me off a bit at first - Lucked into Beowulf early and chopped him in the 2nd city (free from pantheon) - captured one settler from Ethiopia for final city settle, all else captured. Got unlucky and didn't find Akkad...

Culture Victory - Turn 172 Was a fun and peaceful game (well... Korea got annoying and barbs had their cap down to low health so I might have swooped in and helped the barbs out). My capitol was a beast with Temple of Artemis, Bolshoi, Oracle, Oxford, Chichen Itza, and Macchu Picchu (sp?). Had...

SV: Turn 286 Fantastic game - lack of production and space was a challenge. At start I pushed out and quickly found I was surround - had a 2nd city to the northwest of spawn but made the decision to focus on pumping out warriors and archers - timed an attack on the Netherlands to grab their...

T227 - CV Thanks for this Game! It was a lot of fun. I had never played with this Civ Leader and decided from the start to focus on the Great Wall as the primary culture generator along with a peaceful game. I pushed hard for a religion at the start and managed to get the pantheon for...
