Doing a Babylon OCC Challenge

[mjcarney]

Starting up a new game when I get home from work. I've decided to play as Babylon and go for a One City Science Victory. I decided before I play I want to prioritize what I want my city to focus on and I thought I'd ask for help finishing the list.

By order of priority I am focusing on

1. Science
2. Food
3. Production

Once I've built the required building to maximize those three I wonder what priority I should give to culture, gold, faith, happiness. Any help finishing this list would be appreciated.

Cheers,

I forgot to mention I'm playing BNW

Rather the focus is
1) food You won't have food caravans and that will greatly suck so you need to prioritize those +4 grassland river tiles...
2) science
3) culture with one city SPs come by faster which is nice... have all the guilds running once you can afford the food
4) faith/production with one city you can't really win world fair or anything... getting any wonders means you need to spend GE so just pick one to focus on... faith is better btw you will rush-buy most of your science stuff anyway.
5) gold (for CS gifts and rush-buying) seeing as all your trade routes are for money and you only have one city to worry about this should be a non-issue.
6) happiness... if you have unhappiness problems with just one city (with SP you get 1 happiness per 2 citizens) you might wanna play on settler

I'm sure you can pull it off pretty easy up to immortal (deity I dunno bout that) just make sure your capitol has an observatory

I play a lot of OCC and love it. I win them on Immortal, have yet to find a winning strat for Deity
Korea is the best with out a doubt, Babylon is next. After that the Inca.

Food is absolute first priority
Make sure you get constant WLTKD going, just make having 24gpt part of your budget to buy the last copy of a lux from the AI
Make sure you have a good gpt going to rush as many buildings as possible
The HG seems to be the "must get" wonder, that or the Petra on a solid Petra start

Aim for Radio rather than industrialization (you can't build 3 factories)
for most civs, Order seems a bit better.
For Korea, Freedom is about the same as Order if you can get >53 pop and run every possible specialist.

I was actually about to start an OCC right now, I am honestly not sure how winnable they will be with the Fall Patch because the AI definitely techs a bit faster

Oh, and feel free to reroll your maps. These things are hard enough to win as it is.
