I'm a newb but Norway made my new player experience!

So I've only been playing about a month so I don't really know what is actually impressive and what just seems impressive to me. But I just cleared a Domination win on the Archipelago Map with Norway on the last turn of the Classical Era (regular difficulty)! I'm sure ya'll seasoned folk will laugh at this but this is my highlight of the game so far for me! I was biting my nails thinking I wasn't going to make it. I was surprised there are no achievements for winning games before certain eras.

Congrats!

I have over 1500 hours logged and still "suck" by the standards of this forum but every fun game is an achievement in itself. Just keep trying fun new angles and enjoy your games. Domination and religion are probably the victory conditions that have the best potential for early wins.
