If this were any other game, I'd settle on the E copper for the hill start, mountain and river. I might do that anyway depending on what the warrior finds. Even moving 1 E will allow the player to get Machu Picchu and Neuschwanstein, both of which are good for domination games. With raging...

That sounds like a really great game. Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat! Reference number: 32724 Game status: Culture Victory Game date: 1872AD Turns played: 306 Base score: 2243 Final score: 3677 The way my game played out really showcased Sweden's awesome abilities. I was...

Looks like I did about the same as most of the folks here. Settled in place (river, mountain and hill start with salt!), went tradition, but kinda wished I had gone Liberty. William only built 3 cities, and I see spots for 5 or 6 cities. I built 4 cities so far, one next to the faith...

Reference: 32624 Game status: Science Victory Game date: 1911AD Turns played: 331 Final score: 3130 The amount of war in this game was incredible. I think it took me until T150 to get education simply because I was fighting so much. I settled in place and built a scout, worker...

I settled on flood plains east of the lower salt when I saw the gold in 3rd tile range. 3 lux capital? Please yes. But no. As soon as I settled I saw the gold was for a city state. Pfft. I scouted east and south. Found Celts, Assyria and Byzantium. Boudica always hates me so I forward...

Reference number: 32548 Game status: Culture Victory Game date: 1890AD Turns played: 315 Base score: 1428 Final score: 2266 Time played: 2:10:00 I was really hoping to get it under 300 turns, but I made a lot of mistakes. I knew I did not want to use sacred sites, which turned...

Hello, I am playing with a fresh Steam Install of Civ 5 after taking several months off. Everything runs smoothly, but I am getting the auto-annex bug in some games. When I take a city, it sometimes annexes the city immediately without giving me the option to puppet or raze it. I've tried...

I loaded this up and played through a few turns during a lunch break. I have never played a game without city states, and this was hard, even for king (I am an immortal player). You had a good start, except I don't know why you were in a war with Songhai. The first thing I did was built 2...

So back to the OP, then. The first screen showed I was producting 33.82 :c5food:, with 1 turn to grow and 15 turns to get PT. The last screen, however, showed I was producing 10.72 :c5food: with 1 turn to grow and 10 turns to PT. Based on this discussion, if I had left it alone I would have...

Reference number: 29885 Game status: Diplomacy Victory Game date: 1836AD Turns played: 289 Base score: 1307 Final score: 2292 Time played: 2:55:00 I opened Renaissance via Printing Press instead of Acoustics, which I think delayed my victory. It works great for a cultural...

My priority at first was to wonderhog, until I saw Shaka. Then killing him before Impis became priority #1. I like starting near a warmonger though, because it spices things up. I went liberty in the last Venice game and ended up spawning too many great merchants. I went tradition this...

Reference number: 29881 Game status: Culture Victory Game date: 1806AD Turns played: 273 Base score: 1659 Final score: 3072 This was by far the hardest game I ever played. On my left, Assyria, Indonesia and Spain were warmongering away, and on my right, the Mayans, India and Brazil were...

Do you micromanage the tiles of your city screen? I am not talking about simply setting your city to production focus and locking down food tiles (which is what I usually do). I am talking about actively checking each one of your tiles in the city screen, almost every turn, to see that...

I don't play online, but have played many isolated starts. One of the first things I do is settle a coastal city and get sailing early. Get a trireme out to see just how isolated you are. You will often find that your island is connected to the main continent by shallow water. If not...

Venice is a very powerful civ in the hands of the player although it appears you played it very well too. Your science is very high, especially considering there is very little food in you capitol area. When played by the AI, Venice usually just gets rolled.
