Culture Victory turn 267, Score 1186

I was originally going for a religion, but missed it by a few turns. Then I pushed for culture districts. I had 1 crash reload. Then after the victory screen I accidentally hit the main menu button instead of the one more turn button, so I had to replay the last turn to get the victory save.

CV 188

Spoiler t189 :

Europe is a pretty interesting map, especially when there are no Near-Eastern civilizations. The entire eastern part of the map was just a huge wasteland with tundras, deserts, barbarians and undiscovered tribal vilages

Went for an extremelly agressive approach, captured Italy with ships and then continued conquering with a bunch of units.

Curious to find out what was the easter egg

Thanks for the game!

Didn't make it to turn 100 again. Botched an early war and got so far behind in everything that there was no way I could catch up. I guess that's a really "high-risk, high-reward" strategy.

CV turn 200/201

Went for a mix of war and peace; was deliberately trying to keep from eliminating Civs (to keep them as a source of tourism) but it was a struggle. Had to gift Portugal the French city of Rheims twice (it kept loyalty flipping to me) to keep him alive. Captured Rome early but let him live- that was my biggest error, as despite the fact that he only had 2 cities he still became the biggest culture competitor. At the end I got tired of seeing his internal tourists creep up and I just conquered his biggest city to stop it; he would have died altogether from loyalty pressure but the game ended. Also, was so focused on keeping a lid on the European civs that I was very slow to colonize the Pamukkale wonder, and didn't get much benefit out of it.

Fun game, hadn't really played this map so glad for the opportunity. Would have been even more interesting if Ottomans and Russia had been there!

Thanks for the game!

Cultural Victory, T239, Score 1988, Time 30 h

Completely peaceful game focused on relics tourism.

I got carried over on expanding all through those empty planes to the Northeast of Europe. Could have focused more on getting a victory, but I liked to paint all red the map with my cities.

The game was largely impacted by the discovery of extremely fertile land on the northern tundra. After initial shock on spotting this around a lake, I find out it was due to repeated fires in all the Finland area forest. I quickly settled the area and the cities there pushed my Empire to new heights, eventually becoming the core of the nation and producing Settler and Traders to conquer the rest of the plains.

Key wonders were Cristo Redentor and St. Basil Cathedral to push that religious relic tourism to my neighbors. Oxford University was a nice addition and got the Great Library after turning Plock to my side by cultural pressure.

Give there were little hill spots for Acropolis, I focused on Holy Sites to hold relics. I took the south eastern Asian area for the hills to build Acropolis there and because some exotic luxuries in the area.

It took a lot of time to get out of the initial Peloponnese peninsula, but once out of there, it was a matter of expanding NE with Monumentality and Holy Sites.

Thanks a lot for the game!
