G-Major 33

[Rain]

Civics usually end up being Sufferage Bureaucracy Caste Free Market Free Religion. Earlier i run Representation Serfdom and Org Religion if the occasion makes them useful. Sometimes i use Mercantilism as well if the other civs are few and small.

If you have Redentor, there is no downside to running Representation every other turn to add to your science capacity. Well, at the expense of a few hammers anyways in your cottage towns.

@HolyHandGrenade, sorry but I knocked you out of 3rd. place by about 200-300 points.

It's OK - no problem for me. It was frustrating enough to notice that the fast conquer game with Darius gives me much higher score than the milking game with Charlemagne where I was 200 years later

Ok submitted probably my final try. Almost 70K and thats almost 20K more then my previous game. Could have squesed more out of it, but had serious pain getting the right GP. First needed a profet for some extra income and 6 times he didn't came with 50 to 75% chance. I did get 2 artists about 5 to 10% chance :S. Then when i got economics i sent my merchant to rusia, and with about 90% for a GM i get my 2nd profet. I was running about 6 merchants there :S. Luckely just befor i got biology i got my GM from my farm. Well it was fun again but... damn it takes long :S, can't imagine on high dificulty.

gz.

I got a submission in on the last day. Been away from Civ for a bit, and just discovered this major a few days ago. 1808 Cultural with a score in the 9000's

Not a great effort by any means. Wasn't real sure on what kind of victory I wanted to shoot for at first. Decided on cultural, with that huge map and being isolated in a nifty area. However, I made mistakes/wasn't aware, that I needed 12 cities to get my 3 cathedrals in each culturual city, until way late. And, didn't realize I needed 50K for legendary(sure wish this info was readily available somewhere in game, or manual....never sure on this).

So, after those slowdowns we finished in 1808. Not a big deal...my main goal was getting a major for my EQ, and knocking off a few other categories, too.

Congrats Andrei - think I have a better game in progress but never got it finished in time, still won't be a dramatic change over your score though

 

[Andrei_V]

Congrats Andrei

Thanks, I feel like I lost this one.

 

[Harbourboy]

Wow. My 2047 AD finish wasn't the slowest!

 

[billybgame]

And I'm somewhat surprised my score wasn't the lowest
