how to win a 5cc on monarch and below

[fahad]

The Startup THIS GUIDE WAS MADE FOR A STANDARD TO SMALL PANGEA ON MONARCH AND LESS THESE STRATEGIES MIGHT NOT WOR ON HIGHER LEVELS.SO WE ARE GOING TO TRY A 5CC WE SHOULD PICK A CIV WITH AN EARLY UU LIKE PERCIA. THE START! IF THE CIV U PICKED NEEDS A RESOURCE FOR IT'S UU THEN YOU SHOULD SETTLE YOUR THIRD CIT WITH A GOAL IN MIND TO CLAIM THE RESOURCE.YOUR SECOND CITY SHOULD BE FOUND TO GRAB HAPPINESS SOURCES EG 1 OR 2 SOURCES THEY SHOULD ALSO HAVE A FOOD RESOURCE.THE FOURTH SHOULD BE MADE WITH A GOAL TO MAKE IT A COTTAGE WONDER LAND SO FAR SO GOOD.YOUR FIFTH CITY SHOULD BE MADE TO AQQUIRE ONE OR EVEN TO MORE STRATEGIC RESOURCES. THE WAY OF DIPLOMACY! DO YOUR BEST TO BE LIKED BY THE MOST POWERFUL CIVILIZATIONS AND TRY TO CULTIVATE THE TOP THREE CIVILIZATIONS TO THE SAME FAITH.DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE SMALLER ONE'S WHO CARES ABOUT THOSE IDIOTS.ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SURVIVE. THE RESEARCH PATH FOCUS YOUR RESEARCH TOWARDS MINING THEN PICK UP ANIMAL HUSBANDRY.THEN BRONZE WORKING AND IRON WORKING SO THAT YOU DO NOT MISS THE STRATEGIC RESOURCES.THEN BUILD THE ORACLE AND DO A CIVIL SERVICE SLINGSHOT.REMEMBER THE FOURTH CITY BUILD COTTAGES AROUND IT THEN BUILD YOUR PALACE THERE NOW YOU ARE RESEARCHING AT A FAIR PACE.THEN BEELINE TO ALPHABET AND TRADE FOR THE TECHS YOU MISSED DON'T GIVE UP CIVIL SRVICE THOUGH!.THEN TRY TO BUILD THE PYRAMIDS AND RUN A SPECIALIST ECONOMY!.

THE PLAN SO NOW ALL THE VICTORY CONDITIONS EXCEPT DOMINATION ARE POSSIBLE SO I WILL POST DIFFERENT SECTIONS ABOUT ALL OF THEM CONQUESTFOR THIS VICTORY CONDITIO WE WILL RUSH THE OPPONENT REMEMBER THAT EARLY UU WELL ONCE YOU HAve the resource needed to make it build about 10 of them and attack a weaker civilization take their cities and eliminate them lather rinse and repeat for all the other weaker civilizations for the stronger ones first start a war with fast units pillage most of their cottages and strategic resources wait till you have a more advanced army then attack you will probably take losses but that's okay do the same for the remaining civilizations and there you have it conquestconquest is achievable by about 1700AD MAXIMUM! SPACEjust use bureaocracy to get to the space ship tecks use great merchants from the great pyramids to rush the parts and declare war against other civilizations that might launch the space ship before you! diplomatic!cultivate thebig civilizations to your religion and destroy all the heathen scum there you have it easy diplo victory. this is my first guide so feedback would be very much appreciated from me!

I'm sorry man. I can't even read this. Caps, text sizes, emoticons, spelling, formatting: these all have to improve. Also, you can put all this text in one post. No need to double post.

Seconded.

if it's really possible to go all the way to iron working, still build the oracle first, and use it to slingshot CS (!!!!) in a given difficulty, then I have a shorter guide on how to beat this difficult: grow capital do happy cap, build settlers until there's no land left. Win.

That's really not the point of 5 city challenge.

I was thinking the same thing while reading you beat me to saying it. Seriously though theres no way this will work anywhere past warlord, even on warlord i have my doubts, maybe settler & chieftain levels.

NO way in hell it's going to work on Monarch.

Quintupled (whats the word?)

Don't feel bad. I have thought on posting many, many guides. I'm just now about to get my fist win on prince. Hopefully.

keep on trying with the guides; but first type it up to see how it looks to yourself and maybe ask a friend or two on how it looks. And try the strategy multiple times with different leaders.

Agreed, hope we have'nt been too harsh, anyways i think presentation is probably your biggest problem right now, cos even a good stratergy wont be well received unless you get the presentation right, so focus on that first.

With regard to your stratergy, i got to the Oracle after teching to IW and then goin Poly > Priesthood and managed to get the CS sligshot on warlord (i wanted to see if it was possible). So yes at least i can confirm you can do this on warlord at least .

But i must add, if you can do this, you also probably are playing about 3 levels below what you should be playing
