Scout have more movement point, better vision, a good first promotion, can pillage tiles and can steal civilian units. Every builder built escalate the cost of the next one. And you spent production in 2 builders while to only improved 4 tiles in your capital, wich you won't be able work because...

You shouldn't be scare of moving at the start, It's always better to move 2/3 turns to get a better city. Also a food heavy capital can make a good use of Pingala promotions. You also have to consider how many chops you got in the first and second ring when settling cities, not only production...

I would settle in between pasture and cothon, start with a builder improve pasture, plain hills, rice. Not sure I might also settle between pasture and rice depend on what the warrior see along the river while the settler move. You have a desert so you can plan on getting pyramids, usually you...

SV Turn 171/172 Settled capital next to the whales, second city near the natural wonder. What an amazing start so much science! I was too late to get the free settler pantheon so took earth godess to make good use of Gitarja ability to buy galleys with faith. Meet Cyrus quite early and decided...

T137 DV Settled my capital on the copper. Meet La venta very early, and took Religious settlements pantheon. Opened up with Pingala x2 and then Magnus with the idea to focus on science to get niter/musketeers. Got spotted by 3 barbs camps around t40, and got overwhelmed by barbarians and ended...

@Minou For end game planning for SV I feel like there is 2 big scenario : One where you focus on culture to reach Democracy/Globalization, and one where you just try to push science as hard as you can. If you have good culture you won't need more than 2 spaceports(bought with Reyna). The first...

Right I confused the two projects.

Shooting Lagrange laser cost a lot of power and one of your spaceport cities was probably underpowered.

Pyramids brings you thousands and thousands of production through at the game and is one of the strongest wonder for SV. With 5/6 civics it only take 3 chops to get it with Magnus. All the builders you used to build it get +1 charges, you get a free 4 charges builder and a good shot a Cassical...

SV turn 176 Tried something fresh this time and went for a religion since the nerf on Great writers. - How many cities did you settle, or capture? I wiped out Norway, Spain, England, Zulu and Maori, in this order. Mostly because I was scared of a CV. Only the war against Zulu felt necessary...

Do you gain tourists from a civilization if you still havn't meet them?

@Victoria I am not sure what mechanics mean but the things you learn by playing this map are probably applicable too most random pangea maps. You can feel where and when you did mistakes. For example : I should have done Classical Republic/Oligarchy rather than Autocracy/Oligarchy I should have...

Yeah under t140 might be a bit too optimistic, but I think if I was able to get a classical golden age or even a normal one and a great prophet it would have been close. Also just replaying the map while having full knowledge of it would (obviously) shave a lot of turns. But that would be...

It was already taking me 1t to finish most of the techs and I was swimming in gold/faith ( thx to kilwa and 3 religious city-states). And I was also getting quite bored with the wars....

Decided to give the t1 save @DanQuayle provided a go. Ended up with a science victory turn 156, my personal record in GS =d What a map! Won't be suprise if some better players could get it down under t140.
