Nice play Snaaty, Why don't you post the save using the easy upload system? Unlimited space there.

Fun starting position.

I think I have the game pretty much won with a biology/liberalism slingshot in 940 AD.

Now I´m waging war with infantry vs rifles in 1500AD (just vassalized mehmed after taking istanbul, toku or pacal is the next target). Combustion is researched for destroyers and tanks are ~50 turns away.

The only problem is that pacal vassalized gilgamesh and they form a pretty big powerblock. Maybe I´ll wait till tanks until I invade pacal.

Finished my game:

Spoiler :

In the last update I just took mehmed's land and signed peace. He only has a few cities on those western islands. Now I'm going to admit I was really lazy in this game, so I was aiming for an easy space win with good diplo.

However it became clear pretty fast that Pacal was just steamrolling trough techs and I couldn't catch up, even with trading to Pericles & Roosevelt. It would force me to war with him as I wouldn't beat him to space.

- I was lazy today, so I didn't feel like warring.
- Space is out of the question.
- I'm friendly with Pacal, Pericles, Roosevelt .. the three biggest AI's.

Yea you guessed it, I beelined mass media for UN.


1555 AD - Pericles has huge culture and he's culture bombing his border cities. Even though I put Hermitage in Shanghai and was running artists it revolts. I can tell you I wasn't happy at all with this.





1715 AD - Shanghai joins the Greek empire.



1785 AD - I built the UN. Votes are between me and Roos. A few turns later Roosevelt wins ... argh. But I don't give up, I'm placing farms on every non-hill tile. I'm also making useless filler cities to get the pop up.



1864 AD - Finally reselecting the secretary. This time it's much better because I'm up against Pacal, so I have Pericles and Roosevelt voting for me. A few turns later I win the votes for secretary.



1872 AD - I'm so close to diplo victory but I always miss a few votes, it's so frustrating. I canceled all my resource deals with Pacal and I've been giving out extra resources to Pericles and Roosevelt to boost their pop.

More importantly Pericles and Roosevelt dow Toku ... who vassals to Pacal, who on his turn dows Pericles and Roosevelt. Really annoying because I totally lost control on this game. If Pacal grabs more land, I can forget about a diplo win.





1890 AD - Just to show you I'm not kidding when I say I'm so close to diplo victory every time .. but just a couple of pop too few.






1901 AD - Pacal already launched his ship ... sucks to be him.









Well this was a lame win. I don't like diplo wins too much and I took the easy way out in this game. I'm not sure if I should consider myself lucky to beat Pacal in the last turns before he has a space victory .. or consider myself unlucky for being so close to victory every time but always miss a few pop to actually win.

Anyways good luck to all the people playing this game, don't let Pacal run away!

Ok that's unfortunate, i always found the system to be very good but it's some time ago since i uploaded files.

Good job BurN!

I got a three day weekend starting tomorrow, giving me some time to work on this game.

 

[Snaaty]

Hi folks,

we just started the second BtS deity succession game (after everybody died or gave up in the first one) with slightly modified succession rules:

everybody starts with his own save/game but can switch to any other game/save at any checkpoint if stuck/defeated

You can find this game here:

new deity succession game

Everybody is welcome to join, lurk, discuss, ask and such

See you
Snaaty

This is my status.

Edit: Commentary:

I built Stonehenge, Oracle, and Great Library in the capital. Used the Oracle for Metal Casting. Popped a great prophet, settled it. Popped a great engineer, built the Parthenon in Shanghai. Popped a great scientist and bulbed Philosophy. Before this I researched Music first and bombed Shanghai with 4000 culture. I paid Roosevelt for a war with the Aztecs to try and slow down the #1 player (he already had Greece at war with him). Then the Ottomans declared war on Roosevelt by themselves.

Edit 2: It seems like I've messed up because I see that I am in no position to try and build a military.

 

[druidravi]

@homeyg: What about Mehmed ,didn't he declare on you , seeing you have only warriors?.

Also how about firing up another start , hopefully better traits and start.

 

[Squarg]

Why don't you just choose your leader before so you can determine a strategy before hand.

Some suggestions:
Asoka: Spiritual is always good and on deity ORG is better than ever + awsome UU and ok UB.
Hannible: If you happen to change the map type to continents/fractal/archipelago than his UB + Financial really shine. UU is very good utility and chm is awsome.
There are others, Pacal, Mehmed, JC ect. but I dont want to make a huge supper post about things that you probably already know.

 

[homeyg]

I don't think he declared but I ran myself into a wall and I'm not going to be able to produce a very large military with what I have (whipping and drafting ain't gonna happen).

I think I'm going to abandon this start (I've played it over and over again) and fire up a new one.

Maybe I should pick the leader beforehand.

@ homeyg (and others): i'm no deity player but why did you found the southern city where it is as opposed to on the grassland hill to the NW???
