I'm trying for a religious win the Catholic way...by force!
If you're up to early rushes, try Cyrus, he rocks. Just don't forget about cottages early on, otherwise it'll be hard to stay afloat as your empire grows.Crap, i failed... tried rushing 3 with charriots but by the time i attacked the 3th he had 3 archers vs 5 charriots
I axe rushed 1 AI in the beginning, also popped 9 Settlers and 6 Workers from the goody huts.
Your settler kicks the bucket after a certain number of turns. Forget what turn number it is for marathon...Whoohaa! atleast i broke a record here.... but how? lmao..
I dunno how many. I know for sure that I built my capital on turn 11, and the rest of the cities much later. So, all that crazy crowd of Settlers and Workers was running around for the new huts. Indian UU is very good at this, they can make 3 tiles per turn. Excellent scouts.9 Settlers from and 6 workers from Huts? Thats bizarre. Based on the odds that means you popped something like 45 huts?![]()

Well I thought you were talking about moving the settler around before founding a city (to pop huts) but now I see a black outline around your former capital so a barb must have snuck in and taken it.What do you mean? I wasn't even building a settler... Is there actually a logical explenation behind this?
And should i spread sushi to my vassals? Atleast, do i get the population of vassals too? Anyway don't be afraid i beat you guys... got 47000 points.... still increasing by +-600 but i won't tag the 500K lol....
After reading about Andrei's game I had a look to which map Mills might be good on (as I agree Sushi culture is a big pain for score). Rainforest seems to have massive rice for 30-40 food. And it will be easier to acquire a number of these sources than building boats and workboats, etc. The problem is how to promote all your scouts to woodsmen, and I think the only answer there is play with barbarians.Arg managed to get score up a little more each turn.... But the damn sushi corp made me win to mutch land for domination. Just maybe i do another try on a "flat" map but then with cereal corp. Can anyone tell me what map holds the most corn,rice,wheat? 51600... wich probably is good enough for last place... but hey i finished a major gauntlet <now you applaud>... thank you!
-edit-
Well atleast 3.13 counts here... my minor gauntlet didn't count overlooked it.

I would not discount Sushi, btw.After reading about Andrei's game I had a look to which map Mills might be good on
Well there are a couple things that go into it. Cereals is .37 FPR (food per resource) and Sushi .25; the best I have had Sushi produce on a non archi map is 45ish food (Big and Small). The best would obviously be an islands map, low food population count (=more score), more free population from water tiles, and high seafood, Ive seen some get 55-60 food there. However, that is a logistical nightmare on huge in putting out ships and things and in general building a lot of stuff you dont have to build on a single landmass map, which takes longer in game and real world playing time.I would not discount Sushi, btw.
Forget Railroads, they help but not much. Build Airports ASAP. At this point your research must fly, so if you beeline Flight right after Railroad, you'll get them before the RRs are actually built.
Another thing is how # of instances of crops is converted into # of food. In my game I had:
+6 food out of 16 crops (10 wheat + 6 corn)
+7 food out of 18 crops (10+8)
+8 food out of 21 (12+9) -- that was the max in my game
So, it looks like Cereal's conversion factor with these map settings is 0.4.
To get 30 food you're going to need 75 resources. For Sushi, I guess, the conversion factor is worse. On maps like Archipelago/Tiny Islands culture must not be a big problem, the question is how many extra food you can actually get.
Well, this does sound attractive. Maybe I'll try it as well someday.Rainforest has over 100 at my estimate, done scientifically by counting in Worldbuilder.
I finally finished mine at 1600AD with 215K.
....
...until 1600AD (turn 230), where I hit the Domination.
