This refers to vanilla, as I just bought Rise & Fall, and have little experience with it.
I do have 2500+ hours in Civ 6 (vanilla), currently play at (mostly "Emperor," so I am a bit of a slacker). I am going for a more detailed approach (avoiding obvious, stupid mistakes), so I won't get totally smeared at Immortal/Deity. Here's my issue:
I try to gage my civ (compared to the others), and find that the score is not very helpful...since the AI gets perks at the upper levels, virtually all the other civs have me beat in score, money/turn, science/turn, culture/turn (you get the idea) by turn 100. That seems bad, but my 30 science/turn (and other stats, which at turn 75--100 are about half (or less) of the AI's) snowball, so that by turn 150, I have a good lead, and am usually well on the way to a domination victory.
The AI seems to be unable to keep the "breeding like roaches" growth rate that I try to emulate.
I think this happens because, although the AI gets perks, it plays so poorly that having double or triple my score is no lead at all....between turns 75-150 I almost always pass up the AI.
What sort of yardstick do Civ Fanatics use to measure in--game sucsess? I mean so I can tell if I am doing welll, or gettting trounced. I currently just do it by feel, and am sure that that will NOT work well with R&F.
Any advice?
