Thanks. I'm not discouraged, I'm just playing out of my league... for now. Thought it would be cool to get the Flawless Strategy achievement and impress my daughter; she introduced me to Civ two years ago.
That is a good kid! Assuming you don't want your first Deity win to be pure cheese, I would suggest Sweden or Venice aiming for DiploVC.Thought it would be cool to get the Flawless Strategy achievement and impress my daughter; she introduced me to Civ two years ago.
Could you post your Education and ST saves?
I played from T90 and won on T206. Perhaps I would've gotten the sub-200 if I signed some RAs. I didn't plant any GSs. That's probably about as good as having one academy anyway. I bulbed one GS for Radio, used Rati finisher on Plastics and Oxford on Satellites. Korean UA seems to be affected by PT and Rationalism finisher as I got Atomic Theory for free after finishing Oxford as well.I've attached T90 and T140 saves. Education should come up soon after T90, ST after T140 if you bulb.
As I said, not planting any GS was likely a mistake, so maybe don't do that.
Hi Blatc, thanks for explaining and posting your saves. I learned quite a bit from them. I have a few questions:
1.) When I started playing I had to secure the spot first where you put Daegu otherwise the western neighbour would have taken it. I retried it a few times just to see whether that was bad luck, but it was always the same. What did you do to secure this spot for so long?
2.) Did you DOW more than one Citystate to steal workers? How many workers did you actually build?
3.) Did you build all your settlers in the capital? Did you chop forests to reduce the no. of turns to build them?
4.) How did you manage to squeeze in Hanging Gardens? Did you research math before Philo?
5.) It appears that you settled all your cities before building NC, is that correct? If so, since I couldn't find the settling dates in the log, do you remember on which turn you settled the last one?
6.) Could you post your last save as well (the one with the 40 pops)?
Thanks, I appreciate your efforts.
