[Eurritz]

CV with 299 turns.

How many cities did you settle, or capture?

I settled 18 cities and captured 2.

What did you prioritize for research and policies?

I beelined Flight then kept randomly researching techs. But for civics I went for the one that gives mouseums, then naturalist and then democracy.

Did you send anyone to the dustbin of history?

Only Preslav and Hattusa.

What did you build for an Army and Navy and how did it change?

I built lots of galleys and a few quadriennes in the beginning of the game. I built a knight and horseman just for envoys.

Did you use your UU? Was it useful?

Not quite, but it gave me a few era points era by building its unique fort.

What was your most useful unit?

Naturalists. I spammed half the north island with parks.

Was diplomacy useful? How?

It avoided me a war, I guess? Also I won a nobel competition with these diplomacy points.

Were City-States helpful? Did any other civ give you a hard time about city-states?

The industrial city-states were the most useful to me, I just wonder-spammed until it wasnt possible anymore.

Did religion play a role in your game?

There was a religion which gave me 4 faith to my wonders (buddhism), and there was another that could by theather buildings with faith (islam), I tried to keep both of them.

What was your strategy, how did you gain your Culture VC?

Wonder-spamming, lots of art museums (and a few archaelogy too), natural park spamming and ski-resorts. Later on the game I used rock bands.

How many Dark Ages and/or Golden Ages did you have? Did you have a strategy?

Dark classical, heroic medieval, dark renaiscence (by one point!), heroic modern, normal atomic and information. My strategy is avoid dark ages whenever possible.

What effect did Loyalty have on your settling or conquering? How did you mitigate its effects?

I took a desert island near Mali and Ottomans, and loyalty was dropping (dark age sucks) even with monument and viktor and a card with +2 loyalty from governors.. Luckily I got an heroic age few turns later and everything was alright.

Any surprises you ran into, how did you deal with it?

I got really surprised by the flood because after the patch Ive always won before the melting. And it started to flood two turns before I finish computer research. Thanks I won 5 or 6 turns later.
I was really surprised that Sweden censored my rock bands, so they had to go to Norway (and it wasnt quite as effective).

Did you enjoy the game?

Yes!
