    Planting academies Vs Bulbing GSs with Babylon

    In my experience its wise to plant GS until you have your research labs up. Maybe save a one or two GS if your close to research labs. From there on, just bulb to speed up finish times.

    Ultimate War Deity Challenge #2 - Zulu

    So the game has turned into a race between me and germany. He is "ahead" in science, but my science is rolling and i got the right techs :D Additionally he is doing well in the cultural game and since i am not sure how fast he could win cultural vic, i might have to take his super powerfull...

    Ultimate War Deity Challenge #2 - Zulu

    Hi, does anyone know if Obs gives +1 gold from Soveriegnty as well as lib/uni/pub/lab ? I am failing to generate enough gold in order to rush buy all my science Buildings, Thus thinking about picking Soveriegnty to fix that problem, not sure if its worth it or not. :scan:

    Ultimate War Deity Challenge #2 - Zulu

    Pictures tell the story. 300 science at turn 136, GS at turn 138 and 1 more policy at turn 139, not sure what to choose, so will leave it here and play on another day. :D

    Ultimate War Deity Challenge #2 - Zulu

    So a short update. Went Acoustics first, finished Oracle and shortly afterwards got my own policy, meaning secularism turn 116 at which point i broke 200 science :D The next turn i pop my first GS, so far so good. Choose to delay Obs a bit in favour of metal casting for the workshops...

    Ultimate War Deity Challenge #2 - Zulu

    Second update, Shaka on the Moon seems more and more likely :D So full glasscanon mode, few units going straight for science and impi for protection, with a couple of bows to protect if the AI gets stupid. Libraries finished turn 74, NC finished turn 84, not bad for a 5 city start...

    National College with cities

    This is fine. Now upgrade those Archers to CB and go take a good AI city close to you, or take out the leader of the game if he is not to far away. This should easily be done with 6 CBs and 1 horse/spear/etc. First you kill of units send your direction, then you move in to 3 titles from city and...

    National College with cities

    This is quite good and should set you up nicely on king for an easy science Victory or whichever you prefer. Try and perfect your strategy and eventually you will be able to get NC up earlier with 3 or 4 cities. I would suggest that you move straigt to emp or maybe immortal and see if you...

    Viability of going liberty + wide?

    Yes they need to chance the science penalty. Maybe just make it 2½ %. I think you can handle the gold issues and happiness just fine as it is. A hybrid Liberty opening with 3 points into tradition can be quite strong.

    Viability of going liberty + wide?

    Take a look at yoruus last MP game and see how it might be done : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz_I2j5ee40&list=PLgYopQWwsyjFyY-W5uFdpWyNLI4A5szmi

    Opinion of Game Strategy?

    You want to have a fast science Victory and then you forgo settling NeXT to mountain, meaning that you will lose the 50% science from observatory ?

    Opinion of Game Strategy?

    If you plant cities after turn 100 your not during it right and it will delay your finish time. If you dont have your cities Down by turn ~100, you should take one or two nice AI cities, as they easily can contain 20 pop and tons of nice Buildings... Just a commend on the "OP" civs, i dont...

    city placement priorities

    Settle on hills, perferably on top of lux. Its always worth it. Mountain in first ring is a priority, if the food is close as well. If no good hills to settle, you should still settle on lux.
