Won on turn 234 with a score in the mid 1300s. - How many cities did you settle or capture? 33 total cities, probably half were captured, and 6-8 were pretty crappy cities founded on the fringe to keep the barbarians away. - What did you prioritize for research and policies? Early game...

Is there anyway to not start in the South on this map? All of the horses are in the north...

bah two diplomatic gauntlet games at the same time...

Yeah I got that my last play through as the Dutch. I used the exact same settings as before except for switching Alex out for Lincoln. I had a pretty unremarkable starting position of 3 clam + stone, but the island I was on looked like it would be able to hold 3 cities so I played it out. Like...

Retrying with similar map settings - 6Ais on Archipelago tiny islands map, this time as the Dutch, off to a good start, hoping for a win somewhere in the late 1800's. I think Fizbankovi may be on to something about quick speed being easier on water maps because of the increased movement of naval...

Expanding on my previous post I will try again for a better date, there was a lot I could have done better. My first 2 attempts which were both losses. I went with 10 AI’s to lower the domination limit, with mostly peaceful civs chosen so they would be easier to conquer. In the first loss, I had...

Well just completed my first ever deity win, after quite a few failed attempts, so I am excited about that. The date of 2017 is really bad, but I am content to just have a submission on these settings. Tried something different and went with Archipelago - tiny islands map type to try to slow...

I didn't want to risk the game to chance so I just kept fighting and razed the rest of the remaining cities to ensure conquest, that added about 20 extra turns to my game. I had a date of 1685, but I might try again this weekend. I also think it is key to either get astronomy early or roll a map...

I am in the mop-up phase of my first attempt game, and I am just under the land area limit for a domination win. I am at war with the last remaining AI who was the 2nd biggest civ land wise. He will capitulate now and give me a victory, but having him as my vassal will put me over the domination...

I started my first attempt at this game, I started on a continent with Alex and Shaka, which I thought was a good opportunity to take these guys out early. I cleared both of them out by 100AD. Since then I found a 2nd continent within Galley range that holds Wang, and Pacal. I currently have...

I haven't ever tried Immortal before, so my goal was just to win, and not be too worried about the finish date. I played with max opponents, on an archipelago - Tiny Islands map as the Dutch. I prioritized economy, and expansion early on. The Great Lighthouse, and the Colossus, really gave me...

I played around in the world builder some to see how likely I was to get a big starting continent, and I noticed some things. When I first started this challenge, I always set the map type to toroidal. I figured if I had to get to other continents having an option to go north or south over the...

Thanks for the responses. I never thought about having a big enough starting place to not have to go over seas to conquer. That seems to go against the spirit of a 'continents' style map, but I guess it would be the only way to get a good victory date. One other thing I was thinking was to maybe...

How did you win on continents style map with just immortals? Wouldn't you need at least astronomy to get troops to the other continents? This is my first attempt at a HOF game, and I am struggling a little bit. My first attempt I used Monty and conquered all of my continent. Then I...
