Isn't this the previous minor?

While Greek liberation would have been way(!) quicker, I did this without using it on my two tries. Also picked three culture civs as opponents the first time. One of the most fun games I've ever had. Thank you! Maybe in culture games, at least sometimes, Alex should not be allowed as an...

I may be mistaken, but that sounds like speed=normal, not quick?

164; Sacred sites. Very similar details to fiddlestick's 134 (city locations, hill, war, ...), but with three in Liberty for faster settlers. Good comparison ... I should have tried the HOF that way.

Sorry, thought I posted this a while ago, but maybe didnt hit post... My plan was that on this level is to harass the Maya from either first-meet or when they have both a settler and a worker, which you steal. They never get a second city. So: scout, scout, monument, shrine. Finding a cultural...

Suggest rewording "Must __Not__ Be Checked: No Goody Huts"?

Turn 333, first game in a long time. Kill all-but-two for era earlier world vote, tech fast. I forgot to save on the turn after, but have all autosaves. Can I load the last one, vote-and-win? It would be a very short session.

t264 - "diplomatic" victory. 5 cities of my own, all but 2 other capitals (to force the vote in the Atomic era). Still got Globalization just in time to make it 39 votes (36/37 w/o Globalization would have been enough). Not a great enough start (for me) to get the vote after the first round of...

Tried once, but a marathon game during a month with lots of other things happening meant that even that game didn't finish. In that try, also meant to go SS - wasn't sure that Greek Lib was something that I could pull off. But doing SS led to happiness issues.

I found it amazingly slow (errors didn't help) ... just gave up and submitted a bad time (292), as it was too slow to try more than a couple of times. Figured someone could do it in 2/3 of that.

Also thanks! I only play about 1/5, but appreciate them and learn from reading the AA threads for even those I dont play. (Submissions are even rarer, as sometimes one just knows one is not even close to optimal!)

Vadalaz came up with an impressive method to do quick culture victories... a drastic change in play style that reduced many "culture" times considerably. A work of beauty and cheesy at the same time. https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/g-major-liv.537907/ Zenmaster wrote up a quick synopsis...

Hm... is Greek liberation possible on these settings? Marathon certainly gives more time and better GM 'bomb'.

Only tried once, and gave up as it was going to be well over 300. Waited too long in starting the rampage. Galleasses/Frigates with all upgrades are a joy. China sent a large (>12) fleet to kill the warmonger. Two turns later they were on the run, and ~3/4 gone.

Fun game despite (lots of very) stupid mistakes all game, but especially in the beginning - such as accidentally starting a war. Turn 301 - stayed with only three cities, which was another mistake. Like beetle, only Freedom civ, but fine as all the city states were my friends, so no happiness...
