A single BR usually doesn't achieve much, but one tactic I remember using in fast domination games was sending out pairs of BRs. Even if one of them dies, you'll often be able to take a capital and make peace before the AI can recapture. Two rams should also be enough to tribute most CSs and...

With your approach (mostly using land army for the home continent), I think GM is likely the better play. GS shaves 7-8 turns off Compass timing GM pays for two (?) Galleasses in a puppet somewhere close to the three overseas AIs I'd imagine that building two Galleasses in Venice and moving...

Sorry, very busy week again. I'll post it tomorrow or on Monday.

Aztecs, India, or other civs? Don't think I've ever played an Immortal+ Time VC. I'd imagine stroing AIs create more problems than opportunities overall? Although Venice and Austria opponents would be interesting to raze a few CSs. Pachacuti and William would actually construct some Terrace...

What's your take on "slow and steady" vs "tall first, rapid expansion later" approaches for Time VC?

I'd consider Patronage for Forbidden Palace, or Commerce for Big Ben and Mercantilism later. Piety for SV is useful in a wide empire if you can get Jesuit Education, and there's certainly enough faith for it on this map - but that costs 4 policies and an AI might get there first. In general...
