I have never won a deity dom victory before, so thought i would give this a go. i normally play peaceful for science or culture victories. - How did the leader bonus and civ unique ability impact your plan/play, if at all? other civs far away. which was a surprise. i have teched past the unique...

T100. Not going as well as I thought I might be. Progress has seemed slow. Aiming for a T250 victory - Where did you settle your cities? Marsh to the west on T2. Now have 5 cities total. AI have all expanded away from me. I have two forward settled cities near china - one on the coast and one...

T249 victory. I haven't played an emperor game before. was surprisingly easy - after about T100 i really pulled far ahead of all AI in both culture and science. they were never a threat for the victory. thoroughly enjoyed this GOTM. Maori a great new civ. was super fun. - How many cities did...

My first GOTM for about 12-18 months. Really enjoying this game. Maori are a very enjoyable new civ. - How long did you search for a site for your first city? How did you decide which way to go? warrior went north. settler east. but ended up taking settler north. bumped into the natural wonder...

OK, so this submission does not count. I tried the game twice, and each time lost out on a religion around turn 60/65. I was keeping an eye on the Great Prophet points, but I think each time the AI used gold or faith to purchase the last little bit, and leap frog me. Third time. Built...

T293, score 679. My first ever win at immortal. I found it challenging for the first 100-150 turns. Surviving war then being just so far behind on everything. But pulled past everyone around 150-200 turn, then it was easy until the victory. Easy, but slow! - How many cities did you settle or...

Never won on Immortal. Think I can survive till the end, but I'm last in Culture and Science, so will take a lot of work to get a victory! - Where did you settle your city? In place - What did you research and which policies did you choose and why? Research went straight to archery. Then...

I missed the cut off. But as this is my first victory ever above Prince, I thought I would do a post. T275 victory. Score 731. - How many cities did you settle or capture? I settled 10 cities. Took one from Egypt who i removed very early from the continent. Then a late one from Germany who...

Late to this GOTM as I play on a Mac and the update patch only just released. I also don't think I've ever had a victory above Prince difficulty. Still learning the ropes. Its been a bumpy first 100 turns! - Where did you settle your city? In place. - What did you research and which policies...

T153 victory. And first GOTM submission! I reckon i could have got around a T135 victory - but got stuck behind with researching celestial navigation, then only found france on t140 and norway on t143. Then arabia got a late game religion so had to send apostles back to reconvert. That slowed...

This is my first ever GOTM! Enjoying it so far. Aiming for less than T200 victory. - Where did you settle your city? In place. Didn't see any reason to move. - What did you research and which policies did you choose and why? Beeline to Astrology. Then jumped all around the place based on...
