I just finished my first SV on deity by t188.
As i wanted to try the new loyalty mechanics and some other stuff i decided to play a peaceful game as china. (still managed to fail to get the pyramids ). No Dlcs except Nubia used. Decent map, i went for stonehenge religion, because i also haven`t played the game with the patch that changed religion. ( Religion: each new city gets the religion, jesuit education + harvest pantheon). With 3 golden ages in a row i faithbought most of the workers and also some settler + all universities, traders and even some labs. Had 5 alliances for most of the game, no offensive war but i had to defend vs nubia 2 times and i also got 2 city states + 2 regular cities from shaka due to loyalty pressure. Several random wonders just because i could
Many things i did were not optimal from the start because i wanted to get a grasp on add on gameplay, i still loved the way the early game plays without warmongerin.
I found a really nice place for a single spaceport with lots of chops, cultural alliance made founding a city there possible. Sadly there was a huge barbarian army, even destroying one of americas cities. I ahd to build several tanks to deal with them and lost quite some turns. Without those barbs, finishing time would have been ~t.180.
Things i noticed:
-chopping is even more powerful now with these golden age boni and magnus
-magnus is broken
-other governors are almost useless, +1 builder charge for a faithbuy builder city and reyna very late in the game for the spaceport are decent.
- 10 pop and 3+ adjacencyis important now cause new rationalism.
-governor hopping is strong but very tedious.
-without a good tundra spot for the spaceport i think a 3 spaceport should be best, i did not find gold to be a problem, i wasted so much gold on stupid stuff
- the AI killing all cities state thoughout the whole game is just stupid. Spain conquered Buenos Aires in t180, after he spent the whole game doing nothing but waging war against them....in the ende 4 city states survived and that includes liberating Nan Madol after an event ...sadly you can not free CS after you gained them be loyalty pressure.
Now i`m really curious what the first warmongering results are going to bring, i actually expect a less bloodythirsty approach than in vanilla (although not completely peaceful) to be much more viable in RF.
Ending save is attached.
