Ooh, I haven't tried a diplomatic victory yet. Will have to look up exactly how it works, but I imagine it's partly about pushing the eras as fast as possible to hit modern ASAP? I'm considering whether to move onto the chocolate, the plains hills, or step SE and see what the river looks like.

So I had wanted to try this game in hopes of a fast "salted fish" CV with peaceful chopped theater squares, wonders and some relics with Mont St. Michel to close it out as shown on some other threads, but reality really kicked me in. The map terrain is really hard to navigate and I still have...

Tried this game to learn how cultural victory works before attempting the France Immortal game this month. T188 CV - How many cities did you settle or capture? I founded 7 cities, and later managed to get 3 of America's to flip (including Washington on the last turn!) One was stolen from...

Another attempt at learning some more advanced SV strategies. Primarily, I'm learning to chop and move Magnus around, which I normally never do. It's a whole new experience and I'm slowly realising how bad some of the bonus resources are, not just defaulting to never harvesting and always...

This is the kind of thing where even when I think I understand the mechanics, it turns out there are some major leftover ways of thinking from Civ V. I had no idea holy sites automatically got the religion on founding, will definitely not deprioritise them as much early game. I had been only...

Late entry, but I'm playing back through some of the GOTM games, especially the easy ones to get used to the GS changes more. - Where did you settle your cities? I settled in place, the spot seemed good on the plains/hills with water. I never feel like I have the builder charges to chop. I...

RV T185 I used this as a learning experience to refamiliarise myself with mechanics. Unlike others, I didn't even know what technology was required to embark onto Ocean, so I discovered Rome and Japan from World Congress and then built Apostles to send out, only to have them stuck on my coast...

- Where did you settle your cities? I've settled four more and captured three. One next to the chocolate west, one between diamonds and dye east, one south near stone and silver, and one north by Pico do Cabugi. I wasn't really sure how best to settle here, there's not that much production...

I have not played in a while, but wanted to try this after realising how strong Horsemen on Tomyris can be. First two tries I got bodied by Tomyris around turn 25, my one slinger and warrior couldn't fend her off. My third try just now I finally managed to abuse map knowledge a bit and get...

Big necro, but I've been playing some multiplayer with folks on vanilla, so wanted to try out some of the military civs using GOTM. I picked out Tomyris because I wanted to actually try the horseman rush strategy. So this is not a culture victory. Early game I settled T2 on the plains hills to...

Thinking I might try this one since I have more time on my hands these days... Are UI mods allowed? I'm getting back into the swing of things and not sure what people use for UI improvements these days - is it still CQUI?

With the changes to SV (not that I really knew SV well anyway) this should be a relatively easy time to explore them! Glad to get Inca too. Thinking maybe settle the marsh 1W, looks like it can't be terrace farmed anyway and saves an extra forest to chop later.

I tried again using Victoria's suggestion with relics and Kandy, but only managed T110 CV (though I could have triggered religious victory by T90...) It seemed as though someone would keep getting inspirations and pushing up my target. Even kinda knowing the map I struggled to time getting...

CV T224 - How many cities did you settle, or capture? Settled 7, captured 9 by the end - What did you prioritize for research and policies? Not knowing very much about CV I took a hint from announcement thread to go for flight. Focused science early and then tried to have UB come out near...

N.B. please disqualify me from whatever ranking there is, I have reloaded since I am just trying to get a hang of how the Deity flow should go and seeing others' games is a useful learning exercise. This is my first real attempt at a Deity game, so I hope it continues to go well. I have finally...
