Went all Honor which was probably a mistake. Probably should have opened Tradition then switched to Honor. I didn't have a strong enough focus early on and was torn between pumping out mass Archers and doing a little teching since the UU is very good (and would prove great later in the...

Played entire game at peace and every was an Ally at one point or another in the game. Got lucky with a late t45 Great Library (usually falls earlier on Immortal). However, I didn't expand nearly fast enough and did take the northern city by the Mountain until late (combination of poor scouting...

(Short write-up since I am still traveling.) The one thing I did very well this game was completely neuter Shaka. I stole two Workers before t30. And within the first 60 turns, I had taken 4 or 5 Workers and 2 Settlers (I ended up deleting all of them after the first 2). When my first...

I replayed the game a second time and the Assyrians (with their 3 cities) were able to pump out what seemed to be 3-4 units a turn for over 50 turns. It wasn't until I got Artillery that I was finally able to take it. In the meantime, I did rack up a ton of XP on my units though.

Social Policies: went full Liberty (which is unusual for me, but really wanted the Settler), then 2 in Patronage (to be Friends with all the City-States), then full Rationalism. Befriended all the Civs except Indonesia and Assyria. Currently in a VERY long war with Assyria (as is Gandhi), but...

Game still in progress (woohoo! I am still alive!). Social Policies: went full Liberty (which is unusual for me, but really wanted the Settler), then 2 in Patronage (to be Friends with all the City-States), then full Rationalism. Befriended all the Civs except Indonesia and Assyria. Currently...

Was Deity difficulty level chosen because the Sacred Sites abuse won't work on Deity?

For the folks that got very fast finishes (sub t250), I am curious as to what you did with your Social Policies. I know one mistake I made was getting to Renaissance too slowly and thus having to get two Patronage SPs before being able to open up Rationalism. I assume that you waited to enter...

Did you get a Culture Ruins early? Is that why you skipped Monument? What turn did you finish the GL on? That BO seems to me like a t60+ GL depending on how much "stuff" you had in there. Final question, how were you able to bully City States without building a single Warrior? Even on...

This will just be a partial report with things not necessarily in order. I started off with a fairly passive BO in the Cap: Scout (since we had Ruins I built it first) -> Monument -> Granary -> Warrior. I went Tradition as usual since I rarely ever found more than 2 additional cities. In this...

The Civilopedia text on Domination Victory is incorrect and neglects to mention that in Brave New World, you must control all opposing players' original capitals to achieve the domination victory. That is pretty lame. It would have been nice if the Announcement thread mentioned this rather...

Thanks for the videos. Very informative. Although I am shocked you were able to get what looks like a t53 or t54 GL. I replayed the first 60 turns at least half a dozen times without building GL and t51 was the latest it ever went (iirc t44 was the earliest). Obviously stealing workers helps...

I am also 100% fine with no huts, except for Shoshone (as Ribannah mentioned) because the UA reduces the luck factor (although there will still be a little luck in terms of finding the Ruins before enemy Civs, but that is very minor). Note that most "normal" games shouldn't be having t120...

Yes it does work. I tried it just to see although did not play long. PS: Are there any patch notes on the recent patch? Haven't seen them yet.

Very good point. I forgot about the turn difference between eras. Thanks for the insight.
