yeah its on warlord :/ ... my computer went kaput and after 3 months my mom finally got it fixed and im still trying to get in the swing of things even though before i was only on warlord about to go to noble...
but it turned out to be an interesting game. i kinda abused the large amounts of money i got from the huts and had 4 cities when i built the oracle while running 90-100% research because i had alotta money to use from my coffers from all the huts. unfortunately right around the time of the oracle i spiraled downwards. i had to tone down research to about 60% for MANY turns, my cities grew too fast and got unhappy, even with whipping reducing the population, so i had to keep about 4-5 troops in each city with hereditary rule. it wasnt until about turn 250 (on epic speed) things finally got better. my economy started getting better from all the wonders i built since i couldnt go to many wars, then i was able to put my culture slider at 10% to keep the cities happy. now, it is too late for going for a domination/conquest victory so im stuck trying to win a diplo but more likely the space race (plus im russia so my ub will help)
