Didn't really push, just enjoyed the game, RV are so easy.
Got harvest and went monumentatlity in the classic rather than exodus to thrash chop faith, took Yerevan back activated mass religion and swamped everyone in a huge wave with exodus.
Fairly sure exodus in the classical would have done but will leave others to play with, I just wanted to do an OP swamp and use knights rather than horses. Exodus is crazy strong with RV already being a broken game.
Basically I built a navy and took out russia and Rome then swamped as I was over 8K faith... it was way over the top.
Went something like aminal Husbandry, sailing, mining, masonary... that 4th charge for China I always use for sailing my first builder, a no brainer. Could have easily circumnavigated in the ancient, I had to stop myself, I accidentally met everyone though.
Just built Pyramids and Mausoleum, was in no rush to thrash faith as I had harvest and holy order is not high on the AI's list. The Mausoleum was handy for the odd envoy/fleet, not needed but hey, nothing else to do.
The map was built to be a very OP RV map with an interesting positioning of yerevan that did give a little flavour.
finished with 3K faith in the bank, 14 Apostles, 9 missionaries and 7 inquistors left. Guru's?, never.
forgot plenty of things so no doubt this is around a T100 map.
TBH, it was not that enjoyable but then I am not really an RV fan. More used to playing maps with less resource and close CS.

RV T109

Dance of the Aurora
Reliquaries
Mosque
Holy Order
Pilgrimage

+exodus

Peaceful, didn't build a single military land unit, just chopped few galleys. It took me very long time to realize that Yerevan is on map as Nubia had conquered her (didn't clear the fog over her cities). Thus, didn't bother try to liberate Yerevan. So no cherry picking on apostle promotions.

Spoiler :

Thanks for the game!

RV T93

3 cities only
Goddess of the Harvest, Choral Music, Holy Order, GA:Exodus
Going for Theology before PP probably would have been even faster
Things I learned: Moksha needs to establish himself 1 turn before completing the Mahabodhi Temple (same turn won't work for extra promotion)

RV t256 score 987
I really messed up... did not know about the non-barbs, did not get God of Harvest, and lost many relig units during stupid badly played wars. I have replayed and got it done t190, but that still kinda sux. Oh well... I should always play a test game when switching from playing deity because it really is a whole different game. Had fun as always, though.

 

[arthur486]

RV turn 144.
Founded capital + 6 cities, took goddess of the harvest and exodus of evangelists. Chopped and converted everyone.

Must say that playing without barbarians or goody huts changes the game, as I was no longer on my toes at any point.

Really love the RV games, so thank you 6otM team!

- How did the new features help you? - used Magnus to boost building Wonders, and built few galleries (with card +100% for naval units); Moksha add additional promotion for few last apostles
- Any surprises you ran into, how did you deal with it? - not enough forests for gathering need build 3rd city far away
- Did you enjoy the game? - yes, this was my firs RV game not for Russia.

Religious Victory T104

Hopefully will get some time for a bigger writeup later. Used a combination of military and religious spreading. Waiting a little too long to found my religion as I wanted to capture some other religions before founding mine (T66 prophet, T86 founded religion).

 

[FeiLing]

T205 RV
Obviously a terrible time, but it was fun. When I finally started to spread it became clear that all that preparation
wouldn't have been necessary and - as times of others show - could have been done 100 turns earlier just as easily.

I'm very happy with how I could utilize the great wall, a completely useless tile improvement except for that one situation (snow tiles around a natural wonder).
