Which way has everyone been going on obtaining a religion themselves?
I may try another OCC, as even gave up on the nifty map I had, as my possible bottleneck and 8 cities possibility, evaporated, with the AI's advantage, and early land grabbing. So, the OCC would minimize this disadvantage, at the least.
Thanks for the tips.
Edit:
In my first attempts, I didn't bother with religion, so I was wondering. Mainly Liz stood little chance, without having Mysticism to start. But, then, I still had no religion, quite a ways in. Thus, the missing happiness for my city. Also, the possible positives from other civs and missionaries to promote your religion.
Also, what about building Stonehenge, for quick growth? Although, I do know the GP could be a factor later on. It's just that there's such a land grab on Immortal, in my games on Pangea, that my future OCC growth was being stifled. Of course, I might turn a few cities, eventually, I know.
Edit 2: Well, that was an abject disaster. Didn't think I was ready for Immortal, and that proved quite true. Not only did I not win a diplo victory, but Gandhi ended up doing so, in the late 1600s.
I'm guessing I was too late at getting techs. Traded for some, for a bit, but even then, not many trades were garnering me much. Then, it was taking so long to get techs, I couldn't even trade anymore.
But, it was a combination of things also. My city site wasn't even that good, but I decided I'd still give it a whirl, with a few flood plains, cows, and wine. There was some rice, and gems withing my OCCs reach, too. But, knowing from previous attempts about the AI landgrab, that was overly optimistic. The AI built cities virtually right next door to my culture limit, and I was amazed that towards the end, my city radius was actually shrinking! I actually lost the rice, and two of my towns! That killed me, even though it was probably already too late. I was in late refined culture status at the time, too. Probably didn't help that it was Asoka and Ghandi on my left and right, encroaching on my territory. Does the AI get culture bonuses in higher difficulties, as well? I was quite stunned at that.
Guess that's it for me. I have too much to learn to be doing Immortal, at this point, never having won a game on Monarch.
