So I have been messing around with National College openings and CS Slingshots on Immortal. When I got this game.
Catherine of Russia - Immortal Continents Standard Size and Speed.
What I did -
Build Order - scout worker monument Library NC GL
Tech Order - Potter Writing Mining Masonry AH Trapping Philosophy Bronze Working
Social Policies - Tradition Aristocracy
The original plan was to build a national college and tech and expand like wild fire.
What happened is I hutted 30 culture to speed things up. I had marble in first border pop. When I finished the national college I noticed 2 things I could tech philosophy in 4 turns and build the NL in 8. So I did and I got really lucky the AI's building wonders picked Collosus and Great Lighthouse. The great Lighthouse went off 3 turns before I finished my GLibrary scared me a bit, but I wouldn't have lost much.
So here I am turn 51, with a pile of gold 550 or so with a very small army of a scout and a warrior. The scout came in handy to help the warrior beat off barbs, absolutely essential. How to procede? How fast can you win?
I got a lot of days off so I'll be finishing this one soon. I'm interested in seeing how others would proceede from here so I can learn some tips, tricks, and strategies post-patch.
I'm thinking - head to Iron next, Picking the first policy in liberty and spamming settlers on luxuries.
