Sorry but it's probably pointless (moving your Cap with map knowledge).
Not saying it's cheating (everybody can reload if they want as well, sp anyways), but where i try getting at: you will not be happy long-term with it in games.
I did so for a Gwaja map, was set up for fun that you can do nothing else, but here we can play normally.. it's just very difficult.
Even on Gwaja's map, i had zero motivation afterwards to ever do so again (and never finished that game too).
Strangely enough, civ feels most satisfying for me when I do allow myself to reload. I have a reloading addiction of sorts and really feel uncomfortable when playing without it, being unable to min-max saves the way I want and get some sort of insurance if I make mistakes. Almost as if I’m walking on a tightrope across two skyscrapers and any mistake too big will bring me tumbling down. Perhaps this is an extension of my current mental health anxiety issues (without going into too much detail) or just a sign that I take this game way too seriously?
Anyways, this is probably the #1 reason I’ll probably never actually submit a GOTM or HOF save. As well as partly why I dropped out of the cookbook #1 so early. I kept true to my word and played the first 45 turns blind, but after that I caved and allowed myself chances to play turnsets again and again to find out what te best things to tech were, etc. I’m not as good as I want to present myself as, in all likelihood : ( .
