Interesting. I think I'll go for pseudo-domination, but I'm very bad at war so I won't be surprised if it ends up taking 450 turns.

Well, I'm just no good at Deity. I started out with a goal of building the Great Library but even though I found Pottery in some ruins everyone had Writing before I, and someone beat me to the GL by several turns. Then I hung on for a while until Germany destroyed me on turn 107. I thought I'd...

Game status: Diplomacy Victory Game date: 1965AD Turns played: 385 Base score: 2235 Final score: 2902 Time played: 4:03:00 I don't do diplomacy much. Somehow I thought that to trigger the UN I'd just need to reach the Atomic Era, so my science goals were short-sighted. I waited around for...

Well, they killed me straight to death at turn 298. It was mostly Assyria but of the four civilizations still standing, three got in on the kicking of my butt. I had managed to stay at least competitive with them in terms of science; a few had built Apollo Program and I was almost ready to do...

- What did you think about before starting the game, what was your approach to this game? My recent strategy is to maximize science with Great Library and National College, helped along with high population from Hanging Gardens and cargo ships. I was thinking, "I wonder if I can get the Great...

Oh boy, salt again. I wonder how likely it is that the water leads to an ocean and is not just a lake.

Well then. As you can see, I'm rrreeeaaalllyyy bad at war. I kept going after my victory/defeat and it took me a total of 577 turns to get every capital. I hang my head in shame. - Describe any significant military benchmarks: Techs, Policies, etc that shaped your Domination strategies. I was...

Well, I had no chance of winning this. I don't think I've ever beaten this game on Immortal. Maybe once when I only had a single opponent. I still uploaded my save file; I seem to be the only one who uploads failures. It's kind of nice to see my name all by itself on the bottom of the list. I...

Your name: Mandaliet Game status: Science Victory Game date: 2029AD Turns played: 459 Base score: 1338 Final score: 1470 Time played: 3:31:00 Well, that's embarrassing. From what I've been reading here, it seems like the best course of action for science is to build the Great Library as...

Game status: Diplomacy Loss Game date: 2020AD Turns played: 440 Base score: 978 Final score: 978 Time played: 5:52:00 I don't usually play with difficulty this high so I didn't expect to win, but I'm surprised I held on for the whole thing. I figured someone would come along and try to...

Thanks!

This is my first time playing one of these. I thought I did a good job but everyone else so far was much better. Oh well. My details: Game: Civ5 GOTM 106 Date submitted: 2015-03-21 16:12:50 Reference number: 32462 Your name: Mandaliet Game status: Culture Victory Game date: 1973AD Turns...

I updated my graphics card driver. Nothing has changed in DX11, but now it almost works in DX9. I'm having the same problem mentioned here: the game freezes whenever the ranged combat arrow comes up. I'm not using any mods.

Yes, so, after installing the update, I no longer see any units or cities. Meanwhile, one or more of the buildings have grown massively and gained psychedelic colors. Actually, I just realized that that mass of blocks isn't even in the right place, since there's not a city there...
