Game on!

Domination victory 1665AD (turn 241). Kept a little log of progress: Settled in place Ruins to north gave 95 gold, to the south gave faith in time to get Tears of the Gods pantheon 😊 Built Scout > Monument > Worker > Settler > Settler Researched AH > Pottery > Mining > Sailing > Optics Honour...

Thanks vadalaz, been hoping for games at the higher difficulty levels - hope we'll get a deity game sometime soon :love:.

Lost to a Japanese cultural victory 1971AD :-( Was playing for domination, and controlled half the board, looking good for an eventual win, but couldn't stop them. Tried to submit game today but server tells me submissions for game 214 have closed.

Excellent! Been missing the GOTMs, esp deity and emperor games :-)

Dominations victory (I know, wrong type...) 1625AD. Settled in place Built Scout > Monument first Researched pottery first The ancient ruin to NW upgraded my unit to spearman Joy at turn 6 discovering Great Barrier Reef (double joy for double reef and 1000 gold)! Bought a worker turn 6 and a...

Domination victory 1907AD (turn 327), which was feeling competitive till I saw the post above - well done fiddlesticks on victory by 198! Impressive. Moved warrior SW, settled in place Pottery>AH>Trapping Scout>Scout Fairly bad luck with huts, but got culture from 4th one turn 16 which was...

Well done! Inspires me to keep improving my game.

Interesting scenario! I'll be impressed by anyone who achieves victory. Retired defeated 1270AD. Was WAY behind on score and number of cities, was ignoring western lands and aiming to dominate eastern lands. Persuaded the rivals to war with each other, and was hoping that would give me some...

Thanks dude, will do :-)

Got to turn 300, game declared I'd been defeated :-( Had taken Danish capital and several other cities, but had expensively failed to capture Marakesh. Several other civs well ahead, but I felt like I had a path to domination, so disappointed with unexpected finish.

Moved around to try to find a better starting position, then moved a bit more, and a bit more, and when I got to turn 20 without finding something I was happy with I gave up and quit :-( A good lesson in not being too optimistic when looking around for a good place to settle :-)

Won with 1371 points. Raging unhappiness for last 20 turns or so, with barbarian uprisings pillaging most of Rome's hinterland, but managed to avoid having any cities defect. - How useful was your UA/UU? Didn't use ballistae. Built a few legions, and when I realised they could build roads and...

Retired defeated turn 233. Had 3 solid cities, but fluffed a chance to take several new cities the Americans were founding on my continent. Instead took a city off The Ottomans but later lost it back (along with a city I founded on the peninsula at the south end of our continent). Waaaay behind...

Retired defeated turn 82 - had build 3 cities and was starting to dream of conquering Monte with the Hoplites and Companion Cav I was starting to build, when a hoard of Jaguars came and overran me :-(
