The big question I have here is whether it's worth popping legalism when you have get education versus going down rationalism first with cheaper SP costs. I'm under the assumption that tradition -> liberty tree -> legalism when education hits should be ideal since it can get up universities...

How are you managing happiness on turn 35 with more than 2 cities? When you guys mention having 3 cities and 2 workers by turn 35, it seems the only way that happens is if you are in negative happiness.

Every time I tried with Napoleon in the game he would constantly break RAs even if he wasn't next to me and gave me gold for peace. I'm curious why people chose certain AIs, as I initially went with people that didn't compete for wonders, but ended up going with more peaceful AIs for my...

Yea, runaway AIs are nice to help line up RAs. I really should try to have a better end game plan. I feel my 2nd batch of RAs and transition to the late game is always poor. I ended up mostly hard building the UN as my GEs popped 5 turns before and 10 after the UN was constructed. I had one...

I haven't figured out the set of opposing civs I like going against yet. All I know is that Bismarck broke 2 of my RA's in my game costing me at least 10 turns. He decides to DoW me with a warrior and archer and once I kill one or two units he asks for peace offering all his lux's. Quite a...

Stealth :c5gold: boost?

I presume you could have gotten higher than 28k based upon that score graph. The slope of my score graph definitely was declining near the final turns. Here is the stuff I was keeping track of. I probably could have had more points waiting for the equilibrium point but I figured it wasn't...

Same exact feeling. If I could program the workers to follow a specific plan, I'd consider it possible. Improving every single tile on the map was dreadfully painful. It was so cathartic to delete every single worker once the map was improved.

Granted I'm new to all of this, I was under the assumption HoF submissions were meant to be using default map settings. How much does the map customization affect everything (personally haven't messed around with those settings)?

Yeah, totally. I didn't build settlers aggressively at the start in favor of finishing wonders, monuments, temples, and growing my cities. I traded lux's and used any gold surplus to rush buy workers and settlers (not in mass quantity) and didn't sign any RAs. I probably didn't need most of...

I went down commerce for the rush buying ability. Being able to rush by medical labs in all the cities definitely helped. I probably could have expanded more aggressively in my game, but I pretty much just rush bought settlers in all my border cities to push a new layer of cities. I went down...

Three attempts. Impressive. I was about to quit due to having ~100 cities and 100+ workers. Turns took forever. Thankfully, once the entire map is settled and worked, you can delete everything and just spam next turn. I don't intend to replay that one - took 15 hours according to the end of...

It's painfully slow and I hope that I can find the equilibrium point on the time vs raw score before turn 750. I'm actually keeping track of my score each turn after I built my last possible city location (and it feels like there are no bounds), granted I'm at turn 350. Additionally, I wonder...

Congrats. I just got my first deity win this past week as well on pangea. I got a science victory (although diplo/domination were all equally viable, and probably faster wins too turn wise) as France. What SP route did you go down? I couldn't seem to get anything work other than going to...

I've spent the past few days trying this strategy out. I probably shouldn't play this on Diety / Standard, as I'm just falling way behind (even if I build my capital in the starting location) while trying to spam cities in the new world. I haven't played Terra prior this, but the locations...
