Thank you for the lesson. My Diplomatic Victory with Venice started in Ancient Era this time, will continue to work up from there after I get back into King (on Prince right now, took a long break from Civ)

Is building Great Wall and Himeji Castle just to deny other civs a realistic strategy or too much of a time waster?

I know these threads are common but: LEAVE ME ALONE ATTILLA.

Funny you say that because I was hesitant at first for that exact same reason, until I was content on being a wuss and turning them off. Now I love it and don't wanna go back. I also start in the classical era which makes worrying about the ancient era technologies a thing of the past...

I knew turning off Barbarians was a smart decision.

Forgot about Korea, they're very common. For a science focused civ they have NEVER been in the lead

Germany. Bismark acts all high and proud but gets the poop kicked out of him, begs me for lux resources China. For the first time last game they weren't my biggest threat (probably had to do with spawning on the other side of the map), but with their minimum 5 cities and huge armies Wu Zetian...

Good ol' G Wash sounds very reasonable and polite I'm satisfied

As you said, neighbors and terrain. My 250 turn diplo victory with Morocco ended with me never getting DoW'ed

Situational for sure. Just now finished a Diplo victory with Morocco, ending it around turn 250 on Quick settings. 6,000 years of peace and prosperity. Not a single DoW from anybody. The hardest thing I had to decide was what victory to go for. I know it will probably NEVER happen again, but...

I'd like to try this. Will be hard since I'm used to beelining certain wonders, but it needs to be done :D

His reign was during the 19th century, so it does make sense historically that the UU appears "late."

Victory for Korea achieved! Since my game keeps crashing for the screen cap, I'll will give a brief description in text :/ I finally broke 1K beakers per turn and got the victory in under 250 turns (245 turns exactly, at quick speed) It was much closer than I thought it was gonna be, since...

This happened to me one game. I was smack dab in the middle of England, America, and Japan. Triple war. In my current game, Babylon is feeling the pain of a triple war from Germany, Turkey, and Russia. Meanwhile, I idly sit by building my Korean empire for a science victory. I don't understand

The funny thing is, I'm not familiar with how turn corresponds to date :D I'll get back to you, as well as post some screen caps of how my game with Korea is going using tips from MasterElements and everybody else here on Prince.
