I took quite a break from Civ and only recently discovered the wonders of RFC. I decided I wanted to win as Greece but after spending the better part of a day trying to win, I gave up in despair. Can anyone give me any tips on a UHV for Greece? (Easiest level. I'll do one difficulty level at a time!)
Here is the strategy I developed after a number of false starts. A strategy that clearly doesn't work that well.
1. Settle in the generated starting position and end the turn after sending two warriors out in opposite directions to explore. Set city to building a Forge (120 turns). Research Priesthood immediately.
2. Obtain the two free workers units on the following turn and send them to each build a mine to increase production. (Gets Forge down to 50ish turns.)
3. Build a third mine and the other worker either builds a road to connect them all, or builds another mine. Doesn't seem to make a difference which decision I make. (by the 4th mine, the forge is down to 16 turns)
4. When the Forge is complete I set it immediately to Oracle because otherwise India builds it. Unfortunately, by the time the Oracle is built, Rome has taken over pretty much most of the landmass and the city is hit with the plague. after Priesthood I quickly work on Drama and Literature.
5. Within a few turns of Rome's birth, there's no where to move a settler and it takes a million years to build a settler anyway and it eats into the impossible time limit set for building all those stupid wonders. This is clearly the step where I'm stuck.
Help? I fail at ruling this civ.
