under T-240 I dunno, may be
I finished on turn 238. (Of course maybe I shouldn't say it out loud, now it's gonna be 4th place, lol...)

OCC = Reroll multiple times for the best desert/mountain/marble start to abuse Petra to its fullest. I might sit this one out.
Funny thing about my game: 1 cultural city state, no mountain, no marble. Sometimes this game makes no sense.![]()
Petra itself will give +7 culture. The tile bonuses mean you get a ridiculous powerhouse city that still grows a lot. It can also get an ampitheater online before you would be able to otherwise, starting the great artist points sooner.Why is Petra so great? Wouldn't a heavy jungle start with the appropriate religion benefit be better (or just as good) and comes sooner?

Also the +1to jungle tiles would be nice, a city that gets a lot of that will likely have very poor production, and not grow all that fast.
Did you go warring like crazy or what?
no mountain and no marble is ok, but how did u get such a good time with just 1 cultural CS I dont understand. Did you go warring like crazy or what?
And also it means that with say 4-5 cultural CSs and your strategy, a way better time than I thought is possible, like maybe even under T-225 or something. F.uck, this is gonna be hard to win![]()
Hi everyone !
I was wondering how you got these Petra starts with Montezuma. No matter how many times I reroll this, start bias does not let me get the sight of a desert. So, is it allowed to disable it in HoF ? I searched a bit on the forum and I didn't find anything about that (though I just spent 2 minutes doing so, sorry for my laziness).
I do expect it to be under 220 - my first full try was already under 230.
Given this(and kirb's 230's) I must be doing something wrong, dang culture games in G&K just aren't something I can compete it....
I was more referring to gauntlet placements, which for culture for me have been quite middling. My best time would currently have been 270 or so. I've also come to realize that honor may not be worth it.A gold and a silver medal in G&K culture would seem to indicate differently. What finish time range are you in?
I first played 2 or 3 games to 30-50 turns to figure out how to play this gauntlet. I found it to be pretty much the same basic strategy as for any G&K culture game, except that you need a little more military and get a little extra culture (and potential for earlier city state friends) from barbarians. Going honor route really did not seem worth it.
In my current game I tried to gain a little extra culture throughout the game by declaring war on a city state, but that didn't pay off either. To the contrary, it actually slowed down my research because people deemed me a warmonger, leading to less friendships and less research agreements.
My guess is that its best to play this as any culture game and just tale the culture gained from killing enemies as little bonus. But then again, I might be wrong....
