Intolerant Ramesses and the Battle of the Builders: Finale!
Well, another wonderspamming game has come to a conclusion. Complete dominance in tech, production, power! Ramesses is pleased and frankly did you expect different from the God-King.
The entire segment we built little military, focusing on buildings and Space Parts. Yes, Ramesses has returned to the heavens!
First we get this in Thebes
The internet, and yes we actually got a free tech, military science!
Stalin started becoming a bit of a jerk, but wisely left us alone!
There were wars, between Stalins and Bismark, Lou and FDR, but we stayed out of them. And essentially everyone left us alone, as you will see why!
Yes we got the Manhatten Project! We build about a doxen ICBMs, then passed the UN resolution to bad Nuke production. Thus we had a force of a dozen Nukes to use without risk of retaliation. The rest of the world certainly showed Ramesses proper respect!
We built SDI in Thebes, then Apollo.
Then we built
In the Ramessesism Holy city! At this point we controlled every world wonder, built all projects, and all national wonders (even the lame Red Cross!)
Here is Thebes production abilities on one of the biggest spaceship parts!
17 turns for the Docking Bay, at Marathon!.
We did attempt a UN Diplomatic win
But FDR bailed on us and I did not feel like bringing him to heal!. Space is Ramesses decision and who am I to argue!
Fairly soon
And 30 quiet turns later.
A view of Thebes a few turns before landing, and just before the corn was hit by global warming.
A massively dominant city. Consider the output
385,000+ culture
790+ beakers
124 espionage
775 Hammers
88 gold (at 100% science on the slider!)
We settled
3 GAs
5 GPs
2 GSs
7 GEs
3 GSpys
1 GM
NOTE: We got all the free GPs (including the free GG at Fascism) and settled all but the GG in Thebes!
Some final screenshots
Must have been a snakey continent map. Worked marvelously for us!
Power was rediculus once the Incans and Chinese were vassaled!
And the score and picture of our God-King!
A pretty high score for a space win!
And last, how about a look at the Techs
Hope you all enjoyed the game! Save is added just after the SpaceShip launched! Recap to follow.

RPC Recap!
Rules
Well, there weren't that many to restrict us too much as I did want to show off a good WonderSpam game. However there were some
1) Ramessesism: Great fun, especially no rules requiring hatred of the unbelievers. Made diplomacy a bit tough, but we had one of the easier Ais to get along with (as far as not being overly religious) as our closest neighbor.
2) Civics: Limitation? Nonesense, Bur/Caste/SP/OR. Emancipation, who needs it, a useless concept!
3) Wonder hogging. To be honest, I warred only for necessity and would have played a normal game on our isolated continent. Still, taking what Ramesses wanted was not a problem at all.
Why we won?
WONDERSPAM/SETTLED SPECIALIST ECONOMY or WS/SSE
Seriously, what a crazy capital that turned out to be!. FArms, mines and that was it! did not even need watermill, workshops, windmills. And there was still one undeveloped forrest tile, plus another one was given to another city to work. Those wonders led to many and early GPs, predominantly the production based ones (GPs and GEs). A combo Science city/Production City/Gold City/Espionage city/GP farm all rolled into one.
Of course I am not the originator of this, OBSOLETE wrote many excellent walkthroughs which is where I learned to actually settle the GPs in the wonderSpammed capital.
Still, I definitely think you need to max out land for an even better game! OBSOLETES early games had very few cities earoly one, I think that should not be done! FArm and mine the capital, build wonders, settle GPS and you have a rocking game! Finally, note I cottaged alot in the other cities, nothing wrong with corttages with a WS/SSE game except to keep them out of the capital.
A fine companion game to the Bismark Master Builder game!
Next RPC is King Suleiman and the Battle of the Philosophers. The opposite of Ramesses, no world wonders and GPs must immediately bulb techs!

Awesome stuff. How many wonders were built in Thebes?
Nice game
You have built more wonders in in your capital, than i did in my shadow game, i concentrated on research more. My space ship landed in 1858
i got biology from liberalism in 860 ad and my first attack was with tanks in 1500 ad

Not sure. We setteld 21, used a GS on the Academy and a GP on Ramesses's Shrine. 5 of these were free from getting those techs first.

Excellent game! I am not surprised since more military in THebes would have resulted in subduing the Germans/Chinese/Incans early.

We all got the job done though.

I did not want two French leaders, so I opted for Louis who tends to get more wonders in my experience.

Good game! Mad Scientist! I think the different might be the results of different level. I myself played at Monarch and I was wondering why Obsoletes only went for certain wonders but not all of them.
I only realized that I couldn't have them all when I played at his level, immortal or something like that. Earlier on, every single turn was so valuable, I couldn't bring my capital to build settle and its escort. By the time I could do so, I was most likely already boxed in.
