SIP - dookie start with an unimpressive leader. Plan to tech Animal Husbandry first.
525BC
After AH, Mining, Wheel, Bronze, Fishing, Agri, Masonry, Poly, Pottery, Writing, Priesthood, Oracle Code(founded Confucianism), Math, Sailing.
Once I saw the crappy surroundings, I decided to go for two settlers and two workers. One for the fish and one for the marble. Then just tech and build marble wonders for awhile.
620AD
After Sailing, I teched Aesthetics, Literature, then back filled via trades, Music, lastly beeline Lib.
*Thinks to self* - does all of this wonder whoring make a cultural victory possible?(I have never tried a cultural victory before)
Before the end of turn above, I fire off my first GA via the GArtist from Music. Then Immediately switch to HR, Bureaucracy, Caste, & Organized Religion. I also convert to Confucianism.
1200AD
Took Constitution via Lib. The plan is to go for Econ, Corp, and Rifling.
I ended up founding Taoism too. So I spread that one around for the temples and in turn the "Cathedrals".
I plan to use the Taj GA to switch to Rep, Free Speech, Free Market, & Pacifism.
1653AD
Beelined Biology, then Electricity. I then plan to get Artillery before switching to 100% Culture on the slider. If I had Iron, I would just go for Steel, but oh well.
Yeha flipped from Zara and Sitting Bull DOW on me about the time Rifling came in. SB landed a stack at the Clam city. I beat down his Knights and Xbows with Rifles. I also sicked France on him for the price of Nationalism.
At this point, I just want to turtle, run 100% Culture slider ASAP, build Wealth in all cities except the Heroic Epic city(build a steady stream of Rifles and Artillery there, just in case
).
1878AD
My first cultural win! Also my earliest victory date!
I ended up chopping out Broadway in the marble city, as well as sending all of my culture bombs there. It gave it the little boost that it needed.
