AP victories in RFC

[AnotherPacifist]

We (Umarth, Jet, Legendre and me) are currently playing a Mongolian Monarch AP victory game (succeeding, I might say). If anybody has any other AP victories please post some screenies. (Doesn't have to be 600 AD start)

What, no takers?
Actually AP victory is very hard (diplo victory in a large map such as RFC is hard in general). The problem with the 600 AD start is that so much of the world pop is Christian, and any of the other civs (Spain, England, Russia, America) will easily destroy any lead you might have.
An easier goal might be with China or India building the AP with a non-Christian religion, and maintaining isolation until free religion so that no negative diplomacy will occur until the time for mass conversion comes.

I just tried it out in vanilla, since I've never even done it with that. Getting the vote even after you've spread to every civ is trickier than I'd've imagined. I hope we don't have that problem in the Mongolia game.

I'm giving it a shot with France, it seems like the easiest choice to spread Christianity with their UP, but it might be hard to get the votes.

In case anyone is still following this thread and trying hard, here's our joint effort in the first Mongolian AP victory in RFC!

I managed AP victory with Arabia. Conquered Aksum early converted state religion to Christianity, got voted into the palace. Then went about conquering India and Central Asia. Arabia's advantages in a 600AD game made it easy to get the AP victory by 1706. I did have a bit of luck though with Turkey vassalizing to me. That was unexpected . I'm presently trying India, got stuck with Spain and England, but I managed to use an exploit I figured out. Settle a city and spread your desired religion to it, the city should ideally be in that civ's historic sphere, then gift it to them. That's how I got Spain and England Buddhism. I'm doing AP with Buddhism. I'll need 399 votes out of 500 and my vote share alone is 200. It won't be easy though.

Registered here specially for reply: another 5 years is gone, and yes, the game is very old.

civ 7 still isnt out but a lot has changed in general.
to 2028 where civ 7 will probably be out by.

After years of not even glancing at other mods beyond C2C (if you haven't tried it, do it NOW, lol), I decided I needed to refresh myself a bit, so here I am.
And yes, Civ4 is still The Best Civ Version Period, and I doubt Civ7 will even try beating it, if we follow the stupid pattern Civ took after Civ4.
