Yurian game = Luck+Luck+Luck+....+Luck !!!

Congratulations, Yurian, good game.
Don't undervalue your victory; if I had had your luck, I woudn't have produced Chariots before barracks and I wouldn't have raised gold to 100% so soon, so my victory date would have been much later than yours.

@ Yurian. Great game. I don't think anyone will get a faster victory.

Glad to see someone else got lucky with 3 settlers.

I counted four!

But, I agree with jesusin... this is still a well played game and an excellent result.

Key Dates
3800BC: Settler (Hut)

3440BC: Animal Husbandry
3440BC: Bronze Working (Hut)
3080BC: Pottery
1675BC: Currency

790BC: Academy in Rostov (3-gold city)
580BC: Capital moved to Rostov
480BC: Printing Press (Oracle)


I used warriors for defense, stationing them outside my cities to clear the fog. Every new city was immediately connected to my trade network, so I could pop rush defenders when barbs appeared.

I chop rushed about a third of my workers (29) and settlers (17). I tried to cottage spam everywhere, but I ended up farming half the plains due to lack of food.

Challenger, going for spaceship.

Glad to hear it, should be an excellent opportunity for the rest of us to learn about fast spaceship. And, since I played for culture, one less person who will beat my time!

580BC: Capital moved to Rostov

Can you elaborate on the thought process behind this shift?

 

[DaveMcW]

Bureaucracy gives a 50% bonus to commerce in the capital. Moscow was so commerce-poor that I decided to move it.


Here is my empire-wide commerce, before and after the palace move.

Here is the commerce in my capital, under Bureaucracy and under Free Speech.
