Congrats to WastinTime on your epic victory! It was greatly appreciated how much information you shared about your game on the forums, really encouraging many to come together and collaborate, as well as increasing interest and participation in this aging, yet timeless game!

For your next challenge, see if you can wean yourself off of using the Inca.


It's great to see a number of players remaining active and putting up some solid, record-setting games!


Thanks once again to the dedicated staff who continue to make it all possible!

Thx Dhoom,

RE: dropping Inca, I've got my eye on the PHI trait. It's one powerful thing the Inca don't have.
Sadly, they don't make PHI, IND
Maybe the creative trait is needed to replace the culture that the Terrace gives.
Or expansive trait for cheap granaries. That would allow those no-forest, seafood islands to get going.

What about Spiritual? Always be in the right civics / religion and save your Golden Ages for when you are spreading Corps??

Gotta be running a GAge during GP farming. Usually a 100 turn GAge. Then Cristo Redentor takes over.
Spiritual might be more useful to faster speeds (normal, quick)

Well done on your not quite BC Space Colony game, WastinTime!

I join Doomstriker in commending you on sharing your strategies with everyone, as well suggest trying a leader other than Huayna Capac.

Good work WastinTime!

90AD space is going to be on top forever.
