    6otM82 After Action

    I consider sub-200 science victories to be a great achievement! It’s almost embarrassing how hard I’ve tried to get that early relic. Working from home due to this corona virus has given me a lot of free time! :lol:

    6otM82 After Action

    The way I learn Civ is by trying to follow GOTM guides to figure out what the great players are doing and not doing. I've tried every combination I can and I can't get a pantheon on turn 14. I'm assuming that you popped a relic or a +20 faith. On one combination I got a relic on turn 19, but...

    CFC: Fastest Deity Science Victory

    Did a game where I tilted all the settings in my favor as much as possible, cheated a bunch, a broke 200. It was a learning curve game and I definitely learned a lot. Deciding whether to take on another challenge in this thread, or to go to the standard settings thread! Either way, Pachacuti...

    Announcement: Welcome to the Civ Fanatics Competition (CFC)

    This excited me so much I started a new account (can't remember old one). I love that this is going to be happening again and I really want to play a part in making it big as it used to be. For whatever reason the GOTM is a shell of what is was in the Civ4 days. I wish we could get people...

    6otM04 After Action

    Well I'm stumped. Been playing a pretty successful game and now my game is crashing at turn 148. I've tried going back all the way to 146 and unfortunately it continues to crash in between 148 and 149. Not sure how to proceed at this point! Stinks because i think I actually had a shot at...

    News: 6otM04 Announcement

    This is my first Diety game in Civ6, but from what I can tell the AI isn't all that good, they just get major production bonuses. I see two ways to play this start: Builder/chop/builder and make use of the Sheep, the de-forested mine and the stone. That gets a quite powerful city up within...

    Impressive win jgray, but the victory scenario is culture only.

    6otM 02 After Actions

    Victory! 305 turns. How many cities did you settle or capture? 9. If I had it to do again, I'd go for 12. 16 on this map would be tough and require much more war. I settled 7 and stole Washington and Charleston. If I had been smart, I would have moved up and taken New York and Chicago...

    News: TSG58 Announcement

    Looking forward to this one. Never played with Maria Theresa before. I look forward to seeing how some of the upper echelon players make use of the ability to puppet allies, as far as how many they puppet, how many they annex, etc.

    TSG57 After Action Thread

    Thanks for the tips. Between that and really taking my time, I played this map again and won in 235 turns. A vast improvement on my first game. Obviously knowing where everything is was a huge help. I don't know if I have the time or desire to try this a THIRD time, but I think I'm better...

    glory7, I sure wish you had a full play-by-play of that amazing 199 turn victory! I'm trying to hit some of your numbers, and can't get close!

    TSG57 Opening Actions Thread

    Well after finally buying a computer that can handle Civ V and practicing for the last month on previous GOTM, I'm finally ready to play a live game! What were your initial priorities? My goal for the first 100 turns was to get at least one enemy capital, get to Education and have a strong...

    Gotm 3??

    I know I have no clout and what I say doesn't matter, but I just have a small suggestion... Sometime between the 15th and 20th, if you guys at least gave us the basics of what the following month's GOTM was, that would be very helpful. For instance, if I knew it was Spain on a large map in...
