This was a neat game. Fun surprises finding the other Vikings. I beelined GLH, then settled peacefully and teched to berserkers. My plan was to go for a number of surprise-by-sea invasions for quick capitulations of my neighbours. I went for colossus too but got beat out by someone far away...

This was a fun game. I settled the continent with strategic resources, and used my settler+archers to explore the other continent and meet everyone. Once I explored the whole continent I parked them on a nice site with good food for a future city down the line. I grew to about 7 or 8...

Awesome, thanks Conquistador, much appreciated

I've also been trying to download the last several days, but no luck with the website. Uploading the starting save here would be great if that's possible. Could we maybe also get an extension on the deadline for submissions (perhaps to end of month) to give us a bit of time to play once the...

I should add, I started playing last night to see what it was like, but got so invested that I just kept playing until completion this morning.

Really fun game, thanks mapmaker. It was quite an adventure finding the Faerie Realms lands (I avoided the monster traps at sea so never actually found out what was in them), but luckily my finally finding them lined up with my takeover of the last local opponents in Scandinavia (after already...

What are people thinking for starting build/tech order. I don't usually do (ie usually I usually die :) ) to raging barbs. I'd like to take advantage of the early fishing with a fast workboat, and go for the great wall to avoid the barbs. Likely settling 1 S, unless something in the NE corner...

Settled on plains hill next to banana. I saw that Ragnar starts with fishing so wanted to take advantage of the free workboat as soon as possible. Went workboat first for that two-fish-magic, then worker, as I researched mining/BW. Worker still had to wait a few turns but luckily copper was...

Haha it was very close! Great job and congrats on the win :thumbsup: This was a fun one, it's neat to see the effects of restricting it to space/culture victories

I think I will try adventurer class as well. Great Spy might make this a fun game for espionage

Exciting Update for me! I just discovered the 'Sabotage Project' spy mission (very expensive). It looks like this may be the answer to all my problems. I was thinking I would have to sabotage production and kind of guess which city was producing which part and sabotage it before it produced...

Thanks everyone, these are superhelpful tips! Especially the spaceship destroying one by razing the capital, I was not aware you could do that. What is the relationship between their capital and the spaceship? Since I have no razing on, is it possible to achieve the same effect simply by...

Does anyone have any tips/strategies for completing time victories? I did a quick search of the forum but didn't see a thread. I've tried a couple games on Immortal/Emperor (large size map) and I keep running into the same issue. I've been playing Hemispheres/continents, so I take over my...

Ahh i should have explained that better. So often I gift a city, I have open borders, but that city isn't trading with me, it's trading with some other civilization far away. So then all the work of maintaining good relations, not taking their cities, etc, seems a bit fruitless. My diplo is...

This was my first always war game. Strangest part for me was not being able to do any tech trading. I took over my own little island fairly quickly, getting rid of the dutch. Eventually invaded the English and started to invade the Spanish (and would have conquered them pretty quick) but...
