You do an excellent job putting your thought processes into words,very nice. I was following the first parts while doing other stuff at the computer. Turns out one does not have to watch continously and still get what is happening. Until now I considered myself a moriarte fanboy exclusively, but with this one you may have already converted me like you did Polynesia
Now I am curious to see how this wide spread religion of yours holds up. I often find that after a promising start with a faith mountain and a pantheonless neighbour things become somewhat frustrating when the great prophet spam of the AI starts. I have experimented with delaying civil service and going for theology/borobodur first in these scenarios, but I doubt it is worth it. Still, getting world religion is often possible. Expensive though.
How you handeled your social policies surprised me: Not finishing tradition, putting three into patronage and not touching aesthetics at all with rationalism still to do, exploration to open and ideology to come. I am curious how you are going to continue. I get that without at least the writers guild staffed the aesthetics opener doesnt do much. I always feel under pressure to get the guilds running and aesthetics opened as soon as possible, while you seem very relaxed about this.
I was also surprised to see you even consider to tech towards pisa after sistine. Obv my game is far from being as tight as yours, but still I would think that even for an excellent player pisa was just impossible to get at that point. Even when I go for it directly after education and skip sistine (which would be a science game in most cases) I do not always succeed.
Whatever, great videos, thank you, that is basically what i wanted to say
