Different ways to play

7 koreas LOL. I'm tempted to try this, but don't want to be berated 7 times a turn for having low science. Seems like it would be a headache trying to keep diplomatic relations in order.

Some ideas:
- Play peaceful all game until you can build nukes. Then spam them and blow up the world in an Armageddon. Bonus points if Ghandi is in the same game.
- Win a domination game, but you can't take cities with units, only through loyalty pressure.
- Play as China and build every single wonder
- Play either a Europe or Earth map and try to recreate one of the World Wars.
- Achieve victory types with civs that have no bonuses towards that victory.

Thanks for the ideas everyone! So many great new ways to play

Ive said this in another thread before but:

I wrote handicaps on the back of MTG cards with a sharpie. Stuff like "no campus", "must found religion" and "no chopping". I thrn shuffle the deck of about 40ish cards so far and draw three from it. After the game i remove those cards until the deck is out.

Which is lucky, because i still havnt drawn the "no military units(delete starting warrior)" card yet.

That sounds interesting, I think it would make a great mod! The no military units one is really intriguing too given how the AI isn't shy about backstabbing I'll definitely start a deck like that.

Could you please write down here all cards from your deck? If it's not too tedious... This idea is brilliant.




Personally I like to play suboptimally, sacrificing efficiency for roleplay.
Stuff like religion dictating my policy because something is heresy.
