Great game. Tiwanaku in what appears to be the most common river spot was absurdly powerful producing over 300 production when building a spaceship part at the end of the game (helped by having the Hubble Telescope bonuses but still!). I think Tiwanaku alone was probably beating each of the AI...

I was very late at this but wanted to try it anyway because I saw Glory7's 107 finish and wanted to see how close I could get. However I deliberately cheated by doing a trial run to find out where the two natural wonders were, basically because I saw Glory7 found them both early and I wanted to...

Thanks. So is the trick to make deals selling your surplus resources/luxuries to the AI to get their gold, then declare war? Presumably the problem with this plan is than making peace with the AI again so that you can sell more stuff to them? The AI doesn't usually want to talk to me for quite...

Second GOTM, third game of Civ 5 and first time trying Culture Victory. The eastern front didn't go well early which ended up causing distractions all game long. Carthage DoW shortly after I settled my second city east to grab as much gold as possible and turned up with 10 or so military units...

Well I did Liberty and a wide empire, finished turn 311 as posted on page 9 (though I didn't take any enemy or CS cities). However the wide empire was more because it was my normal play style than a conscious decision. If I can find time I'm tempted to try TSG41 and a tall culture empire...
