This thread allows you to brag about your best performance on Civilization V. With what civ were you playing? What map? What difficulty? What victory? :)

Personally, my best performance was playing as the Egyptians on Earth Map, Immortal difficulty, domination victory. :king:

B-b-b-b-b-bb-bbut whyh?
:p
My best was on warlord, Egypt, ancient lakes, standard

I settled 3 cities right after Representation on about turn 45 I think, I right away build a wonder in each one, and I was pretty advanced on scince by that time since I already had Theology :p.
 
Continents, Warlord difficulty. Domination win.
Played as America- the images of Minutemen razing Mongolian yurts and German and French buildings accross the continent will stay with me for a long time.
The fall of Berlin; Massacre of 1022 at the outskirts of French Beshbalik; The Crossing of the Great Wall of France and the ransacking of Paris.....

Good times.
 
Egypt at huge Continents, Settler, Marathon, cultural victory at around 1923 (turn 993 or so?) with 4025 points.

My empire covered two continents and half of another one. I had 200 happiness and about 1000 culture per turn. I could start building GDR's by around 1915. My social policies were taken from: Tradition, Liberty, Piety, Freedom and Order.

Total time taken: about a month (from September 22th to about October 30th or so), due to huge loading times. However, I loved that game :D

The best part of that game: I managed to beat down the entire Aztec empire with a single Infantry unit. :lol:
 
I had Persia offer 6 cities in exchange for peace.
 
Domination win as France on Pangaea on Emperor. My first Emperor level game, and my best. It involved the ultimate backstab against my good friend, Germany, and the capture of Berlin within two turns!
 
Well, personally I think I'd go for my earliest science victory ever:

Babylon Immortal Epic Tiny map (Small Continents).
Dispite only having one reliable RA partner (unable to use Korea since they built PT & chose Rationalism, nor able to use Monte for more than a couple of RAs before he DOWed me) still launched the space ship around 1860 or so. Also Korea had a tech lead for much of the game. (Me to AIs: stop signing #@#! RAs with Korea! Not that they listened)
(My next best launch time is around 1930)

The game point system though thinks its the space victory playing Inca on a large Ring map on Emperor since I conquered both my starting neighbors when they both in turn DOWed me and I ended up with something like 20% of the territory in the outer ring.
 
My first victory on King level (I had to try about twenty games before I got anywhere; I keep getting dogpiled by stacks of units from multiple civs if I "expand too fast" and if I try to go tall with only a few cities I usually fall way behind on tech, culture and military. Finally managed a tall cultural victory with India by playing on a Duel map (which seems kind of like cheating if there's only one other competing civ).

Of course, there was also the game where Hiawatha offered me 22 cities in a peace deal. The full story is linked in my signature. :)

cheers,

Definitively this game for me. I also learned how to spell ''writing'' :)
 
Well, at the moment I'm conquering everyone in the world with Cho-Ko-Nus (and the occasional knight to actually capture the city) on King. Those guys rock, don't they? My first losses were in France (after having conquered Siam, Greece, Aztecs and Egypt) because Nappy had the Great Wall, a capital completely surrounded by hills and coastal and musketeers.
 
Im able to win at Prince Level too, which wasnt so in Civ4
 
I recently had a fantastic game as Egypt, Small Great Plains, Immortal, OCC Culture Victory.

Had some lucky huts during the early game (culture!), some easy barb camps and really great plain tiles alongside two rivers. That three factors gave me a huge lead on the AI - not only did I get almost all wonders and I was ahead in research when the game ended. In fact, only a few AIs made it to the industrial era. :lol:

I finished the Utopia project before I even had researched past electricity, something I never managed to pull off before.
 
An Emperor game of China where through a combination of lucky semi-isolated start with gigatons of hammers nearby and the warmonger civs warring amongst themselves, I managed to spam nearly all the wonders in the world. Germany tried to put a stop to that sometime in turn 100+, after I settled my third city out of Great Wall comfort zone, but between me getting Chu-Ko-Nu and wiping out his piecemeal landknecht attacks, he... bought off all the city-states surrounding me and got them into the war.

I panicked. Then Bismarck gave me a generous peace treaty. So in that time, I made good use of it by taking out one of the closest CS Germany ally (Warsaw) and used it to connect my third city to Beijing.

Then Germany declared war again. Too bad for him I had longswords, knights AND a large pool of Chu-Ko-Nu. With them, I took a puppet city of his and waited for rifling. Chu-Ko-Nu turned into rifles, pressed onwards to Berlin. This left Germany with his Songhai puppets to the southeast, and a horribly backwards Japan.

By then I've met two other civs from other continents, Iroquois and Aztecs... and the Polynesians, but the Aztecs quickly wiped them out.:(

Well suffice to say, long story short, this was the state of the world in 1991:

Spoiler :


The two other continental civs were at various points in 20th Century close to completing Apollo Program (Hiawatha completed SS Booster 1). After they met Chinese carrier groups loaded with atomics, none of them ever thought about going into Alpha Centauri.:D
 
Won a deity dom. game recently with Babylon, standard everything, Pangea on t169. My most aggressive and best deity non-keshik game. A nice combo of bowman and swordsmen rush. I think I took out 3 civs before t.70-80.
 
Strangly enough my best performance was my first civ game :

japan
pangea
small map
standard space

warlord difficulty


played on warlod because I only played chieftain on civ 4 that time :p

I won a domination game in the early renaissance era

That's impressive. Good job. I've never cracked turn 200 on standard deity with any non-mongolia civ. I've won a standard pangaea deity on turn 218 where I didn't start fighting until rifles, that was probably my best game.

Thanks. I've tried for some time now to get a sub-200 dom victory. You have to start fighting asap and never stop. Also, you have to have at least 2 armies that are strong enough to deal with deity AIs at different fronts. I found Babylon to be great with this. With that early academy you can have swordsmen and bowmen fast, a deadly combo and then a 50% reduction in GS generation lets you have upgrades early enough to carry out the important final push.
 
JeanBaspiste, yes, my last game was an effort on winning diety with Domination. I won, but in three hundred turns... have yet to get down to two hundred :D
 
I'm a newbie so not a lot of skill or stories here, but I'm really happy with how my latest match turned out. Got "Augustus Caesar" ranking. :D

Prince, Duel, Earth, as Japan; No barbarians, 25 city states. I was originally going to go for Domination, but decided to just wait for a time victory and see what my score would turn out to be. Ended up with 3019. My sole opponent, England, got 1400 something.

Pretty unorthodox and not too challenging, but it was way fun.
