One Game, Must Win...What Civ and How?

[fmlizard2]

If you had to play one game right now, no rerolls, default settings, must win, one difficulty level above what you typically play (or Deity if that is what you usually play) what Civ would you pick and what condition would you pursue?

Me: Greece on Immortal, going for a diplomatic victory.

 

[Aspon]

I play immortal and deity varying on my mood and definitely Aztecs though Greece comes very close to. and I would usually go for culture win or domination I know you say what would you go for but basically id war monger until I killed everyone or until I had culture vict. This would depend on map size and type though, not sure what you mean by defualt settings, when i bought the game it stats on small conts but then i assume you mean things like barbians or not ticking things there.

Well if you did mean conts small then I would probably go for diplomatic with greece.

 

[Valbuena]

Greece probably

 

[ArcaneSeraph]

Babylon, Deity, Science

 

[Babri]

Mongols, King, Domination

 

[ShahJahanII]

china, King, domination

 

[Truthy]

France, king, culture

 

[sadsquid]

Ottomans, Deity, Time Victory...

Just kidding

Would actually be: Greece, Emperor, Diplomatic Victory

 

[Pouakai]

Persia, King, OCC Cultural win

 

[Raiki]

Babylon, Emperor, probably domination, but maybe science. I always seem to aim for science with them and then go "Oh, I have artillery and rifles while everyone else is still running around with swordsmen and catapaults. I think I'll just crush them so they can't give me trouble later. Oops, won a domination victory."

[Johan de Witt]

Arabia, cultural or science, deity.

 

[Becomedeath]

Romans, Domination

 

[Gewar]

Babylon (or Siam, India, Aztec) - science - Immortal

I prefer science/cultural wins with few, big cities but I'm starting to tolerate other ways
I never won time victory and I don't see how could I do it without farming other civs for few hundred turns.

 

[TW_Honorius]

china emperor occ culture

 

[Ianwill93]

Egypt, Emperor, Culture. With 4 large cities!

 

[CTH]

China, deity dommination. Money from paper makers, extra good generals and fantastic crossbowmen.

 

[Zyxpsilon]

Japan, Emperor, Science.

 

[Kevin J]

Babylon, Deity, Science win. Starting to get the hang of this particular combo, managed 2 wins in a row last night (one on marathon, one on quick, but standard should be fine). With an isolated start, this is probably one of the easier Deity wins (which is still hard for me).

rome greece or china, domination or science, king

I would go with France Immortal and whatever victory seem most plausible in 0ad. I never play to simply beeline a victory as I find it boring and too easy. I always try to complete them all simultaneously if possible.
