I'm at turn 79 and surviving, but it doesnt look that good.

No DoWing - does that include not DoWing citystates? (so I can steal an early worker ..)

Here is a screen just before science victory (which is in 254 turn, not 253 as stated in my previous post)

I actually won the map on my first playthrough! Science victory in turn 253. Most fun game for me, ever! :) :) Thx RedRover! :goodjob: I'm not normally a Deity player (only won maybe 2 or 3 maps), so I didnt expect to win at all and most of the game I thought all the run-away civs would...

yep gg Dave! I also had a city up close to Hiawatha and got DoW'ed twice (both time costing me a RA), but my city was settled in turn 80ish while Dave settled before turn 40. Maybe Hiawatha didnt see his city as much as a provocation as mine? (which was right on his border at that time)

Very nice game, tommynt! How many cities did you settle? And where? How did you get iron? Did you settle a city to get it or from CS? In my game i chanced on the CS's, but they refused to hook up the iron and I had to delay my conquering until minutemen+cannons

So far I really like the new patch! The changes to the SPs, the wonders, the AI tweaks and general re-balance is all great. But I dont like that RAs are so important now. PT and Rationalism seems the only way to go (at least for a science game). And RAs still feel quite gamey - instead of...

Impressive game, Ribannah! You focused on growth first, where I gambled on "fractal = pangea map" with steel first and early army production. I did steal my second worker (where you bought yours), but it was quite late for me, so 2 early workers paid off for you. I'm gonna miss the early free...

I did purchase a few buildings, including Forge to maximize the Swordsmen production, but didnt calculate if it was needed. I had a quite early Ally in Sydney and didnt have the tech for Waterwheel, so I never build it. Probably should have done that when I could tech it for 1 turn, but was...

This strategy worked well because I had access to many cultural CSs early on (though most of them Hostile) and I also got two of them for "free" by clearing a barb camp - its really nice of them when they target the same camp :). For the wats I hardbuilded the one in my capital (with the...
