In this game 4-Cav Armies were useful to capture cities defended by Muskets, especially cities on hills. I had nothing else to use my GLs for, in any case. I replayed this game for fun for 20K, won it in 1530AD and used 4-Infantry Armies to defend against Stacks of Doom. I had 70+ SoD breaking...

Domination achieved at 690AD. Nothing special, just lots of fighting on the Western front, then on the East. MWs, then Knights, then Cavs. The main challenge was to slow down everyone's progress by making alliances and keeping everyone fighting everyone. Also. scientific Civs were the first to...

1000BC update. 15 towns, 46 people, 2 Settlers, 11 Workers, 3 bought Slaves. 11 MWs. 5 Swords, 3 Warriors and the old guy. 2 granaries, 1 library, 5 barracks. All contacts, full map, in Republic, 7 turns till Construction which is the last tech till MA. Leader in reasearch. Set up...

Oh, how exciting! Looks like we'll need MM to get to those huts of knowledge? I'm tempted to try fast research game if can get to those huts early.

I replayed the game just for fun, trying for earliest 20K using map knowledge. Finished at 1515AD! Never built a factory or a hospital.

One of the most fun game I played, thank you! Looks like we can post the game progress any time we want, just under a spoiler? In that case allow me to share Mongols' glorious 20K win, the earliest one I've had.

Looks like gotm.civfanatics.net site is down and I can't download the game. :( Is it possible to attach it here in the thread or load it to Google drive etc?

I tried replaying some 20K games with 1st vs. 2nd 20K city and got similar results. But if you are doing 20K in a 2nd city the 1st one better be a 4-turner. On the other hand, here we can have a 2-turn worker factory if we settle in place, to feed 20K city. So it could be doable but the initial...

Good 20K location, with a farming town set up the river, to use those Wines. Crowded map on Regent is also good for 20K. Can't wait till New Year.

Last time we saw Isabella was in 150BC after she crossed the dangerous Ocean to reach an island occupied by the unknown people called Ottomans. With the help of Ottomans and other new friends Isabella was able to trade her hapless nation into Middle Ages and get Feudalism. At this point, a...

I reached Middle Ages at 150BC - the slowest time ever for me! I reached it after my 3rd Galley finally crossed over and met the rest of the Civs. I was able to trade World Map and contacts to catch up to Middle Ages and get Feudalism as well. I researched Monarchy and was a Monarchy by that...

I enjoyed the game enormously but unfortunately forgot most of it by the time of the final spoiler. I discovered the wrap-around feature of the map and only then realized that Lincoln was on the opposite side of it. I tried to bring him back, he popped up lots of Workers on the way and some...

Craziest (and sloppiest) game I ever played but it was a LOT of fun! I should write it down now or I may forget everything by the proper spoiler time. But here goes my start until the 8th city settler is about to pop up. Settled in place, started Pottery, built 3 warriors and then switched...

It's too early to post 1000BC stats and that's my only save so far. Thinking back to reaching OCN: Settled in place, built a 4-turner with help of 2 extra popped Workers, built a ring of 7 RCP4 cities and that was my OCN. Lincoln popped 2 more Workers, a couple of Warriors and some maps. The...

Sorry I bailed out early on this game after an experience similar to to Lanzelot. I moved to the nearby hill to build 4-turn Settler+Warrior factory - not a good idea on Deity in the afterthought. Should have stayed in place and emphasized the food. My scout spotted Babilonians early and we...
