Thanks for this game and the innovative but fun setup !

1910AD domination + conquest victory, overall a much tougher game than I expected, despite test games with the same exact settings. Settled first city 1S, then second city in 2300BC (should have whipped more I think) in the north east GPP farm. Prioritized great wall after second city to allow...

I choose door 3 as well, thinking there would be more hammers and better access to spot #2. Expanded fast to door 2, then tried to prevent Gilgamesh from settling too many cities towards me with a city on the east. Had 2 really "bad luck" events - got a great spy at 95% great scientist chance...

1981 diplo + space victory (registered as diplo victory - do different victories yiedl different scores at the end by the way ?), with 1888 Sampo. Great game, my first win on immortal - getting the great lighthouse was key for me not to get left in the dust technologically by the AI. I was a...

1400 something religious win, for ~150k points. Lost ~15 turns because I forgot about the Koreans who were brought down to 1 city, without buddhism - I had to wait for my peace treaty with their English masters to declare on them and finish them off, as they did not want any open borders with...

Tough one here. Given that there were 3 opponents, I thought it would help a lot to try and rush one of them. Went for horses, couldn't find any, and changed my plans as our land seems really good. Plan is now to settle my land, build cities on hills near choke points, defend there and...

Late diplo for me as well - I was aiming for conquest or domination with milking (experimenting with sushi + mining, settling on all one point islands), but the end got too tedious as usual, despite me coming at a few squares of the domination victory, at which point the hopeless portuguese...

Settled 1E after moving scout NE revealed additional ivory in scope for capital, figuring I would use the grass hills with a dedicated production city on the west, sharing the rice to pump up the city. First tech order : assumed we were going to be isolated, and seeing little happiness...

Can anyone give me the name of the original map (see attached image), or even better a link to the full map ? Thanks.

Settled 2N. Researched to BW, started to build axemen just in time for barbs, though I lost a few improvements and was very close to lose my capital (had an archer vs warrior battle). Got beaten to GW, decided to continue building axes to fend off barbs and then go on justinian, who I...

Hello, I am looking for the original map in RFC's splash screen (ancient map of the world). Any way to find it (reference, link) ? Thanks a lot !

First 3CC game played, made some initial mistakes (went for Hinduism, but produced workers, which arrived with nothing to do). Quickly met Mali and Korea, initially planned for a religious victory, and wanted to convert my neighbours. However, I soon saw Mali take my stone (I culturally...

With limited experience on cultural victory, focused too much on trying to grab wonders + religions indistinctively, letting my defense down. Although I managed to spread my state religion to nearly half the players, got declared by the Romans (who shared my religion). Hadn't yet linked to the...

I'm in as well.

The level after chieftain is Warlord. Emperor is a lot more difficult than Chieftain : in chieftain, the AI suffers lots of penalties, whereas in Emperor it gets production bonus, more units support, faster science... I suggest you to try regent, a level on which you are roughly on par with the...
