How Tall can you go?

I'm still supporting Oda. Even Shimonoseki has 15 population. That's a lot of potential fugu assassins.

He does have more people than me, despite a few of my cities being so big.

And what is a fugu assassin?

I have a 91 population city right now.

Standard size, speed. Prince difficulty (so I could get the wonders I wanted ) Fractal map.

I set out at the start to get the biggest city I could, and I'm almost at 100 now, but its getting very slow at growing now. I predict it will take well over 100 turns to get the last 10 population to reach 100. Note the huge amount of unemployed citizens. Thanks to the Statue of Liberty they yield 2 hammers each. Also note that I dont have We love the king day at the moment, because it is a small map and I am at war with the only civ with whales also because I'm at war I've lost the power shares 15% bonus. For 90% of the game I had those two bonuses, bringing my total bonus up to 100% food growth.

If I get a bit of game time in this week I will get it to 100 pop and post it here

Wow. Nice work!

298 defence is also an incredible achievement. That's double the strength of a giant death robot!

 

[Heerlo]

Wow, that's amazing.

Jesus, that population is nuts. I think the most I had was near 60 on a map playing as England, but I since deleted that game. What I do is stop my capital's population at 30 and the rest of my cities at 25.

And what is a fugu assassin?

an assassin that uses fugu as its main weapon? It's those toxic blowfish eaten in Japan where people have to train for 20 years to prepare them. Shimonoseki is the Fugu capital of Japan.

OK so you didn't get that particular joke.

Just an update, I have managed to get to 112 population in one city as the Dutch. It was with Immigration mod, so not that great an achievement, but still, that's almost 550 million people. Of course, I was nuked the turn after by Monty. That sent me from 550 million to 75 million. That's a lot of sacrificial hearts.

I had a 68 pop Thailand capital at t300 in the recent /r/civ weekly challenge. Not an ideal location, but I guess it worked out alright in the end.

I love how the challenge host doesn't think you can win before turn 300.

Hello everyone, this is my first post.

Settings:
small, pangaea, quick, immortal difficulty

Not the largest city but one of the most efficient I've built.

Here is a screenshot for a size 61 city(I had no mods that affected city growth installed, and IGE was used purely for derp-fixing and mis-click fixing)

(I had won culture victory that turn)

I think that would be an entertaining before and after pic

Welcome and nice job....you have some good GP improvements

 

[cpm4001]

I had a size 40 city or so the first game I ever played...as Ethiopia on a small-sized map (granted this was on Warlord difficulty), about 4 Salt mines + near desert + Hanging Gardens (and darn nearly every other wonder) + allied with just about every city-state = very large city.
But of course I deleted the save. It was one of those extremely rare maps where everything falls out just perfectly for you.

I think he was trying to say that the AI won't win before t300.
