If no one else starts here..

Phoenicia win at monarch/normal (SVN 544) with a score of 16977

A victory with a curios Greece, a friendly Persia and a weak Rome :king:

I had a very good start situation. Greece kept Babylon. So i could found Gebal with a improved wheat farm. Later i improved the sheeps, the wine and copper too.
I prevented the spawn of that nasty indi > persian city in anatolia with my spearman.

Greece was really strong und built lots of wonders, but leaves out the Oracle.
So i was able to built the Oracle (without marble) und i pick for free Monarchy.
I switched to Dynasticism and the new Warrior Code. Phoenicia dont need mercenaries

btw: Greece built even the Statue of Zeus und founded Knossos on the isle

Persia flipped only Jerusalem, Khalu and Shushan but not the greek Babylon. Greece was able to hold Babylon all the time.
Persia was anormal friendly to me and has never declared war against me.

I whipped two settlers in Gebal and founded Saguntum on the silver and Rusadir. While i constructed the great cothon and then the palace in carthago

With in total 6 african war elephants each with three promotions i sailed to Rome. In Rome were just two catapults :crazyeye:

I attacked from sea and conquered without any losses. In Viba Valentia was only 1 Archer and North Italia was still celtic.

After the researching of Currency I put the slider to 100% wealth and built soon in all my cities the glass markets. I could also whipped the great lighthouse for 2 extra trade routes.

During my golden age i made 220 gold per turn profit. And just in time my great merchant reached Parsa and collected 1800 gold.

Thank you very much! Updated the OP to post #2. The images are not shown. I believe it's revision 544, not 454?

Lansa · Jul 28, 2013

Okay

now visible?
and yes, it was svn 544

ales_ · Jul 28, 2013

Yes, thank you.

So, all UHVs (except Phoenicia) are broken?
Or is nobody playing for UHVs?

Three Things:

1. Some people are playing around with current svn, which messes with stability and just about everything.
2. Other people, like me, are trying to win their first non-euro non-uhv victory (or maybe I'm the only one).
3. People finish games, but are too lazy to provide feedback for posterity. Grumble Grumble.

I'll be so free to give some advice:
Try China or Japan. They are the easiest non-Euros to win space with. Which is by the way also the easiest victory.
Do you count America as Euro?

True. One of Japan's UHV's is almost "win space race".

I've got quite a few historical victories with 1.11, but I mostly play on viceroy because it's much more enjoyable.

Post about them! The difficulty level doesn't matter.

Here's a couple

Persia V/E 350AD 26229

I was able to conquer Babylon, India, Egypt (capitulated them w/ one city), Greece, Rome, Tamils, and Ethiopia. It would have been fun to send some Elephants to China, but I'm sure I'd collapse. I think I built every pantheon wonder available.

EndlessPat · Aug 19, 2013

Brazil V/N date:1950 score:1669 (600AD start)

Not the most impressive game, but I did capitulate Colombia, Peru, and just started kicking Spain out of SA.

ales_ · Aug 19, 2013

I'd like to see the saves.

ales_ · Aug 19, 2013

And it this with SVN? If yes, what verdion is it?

EndlessPat · Aug 19, 2013

I'm on 1.11 no SVN.

When I said non-uhv, I meant more along the lines of domination, which I find challenging to do quickly or stable. Space I have won as Arabia, Maya and America before (due to the emphasis on late game, I do not consider America a Euro civ, although for domination they do have a large core/historical area).

Updated the OP to post #13.

Arabia, Monarch, Normal

Finish date: 1510
Score: 11631

Initial expansion was minimal, restricted to grabbing Siraji. I also razed the independent Libyan cities to prevent an Egyptian respawn.

I achieved contact with the moors as soon as possible to work on good relations and eventually peace vassalized.

Initial expansion was mostly focused on development, with a significant amount of camel archers to prepare for the Seljuk invasion. The technological UHV was never really in doubt after 1000 AD.

As soon as the Seljuk invasion was over , the veterans headed west, using cordoba as a staging area for an invasion of Spain. Spain collapsed after losing Santiago to me and Madrid to the Moors. Unfortunately, France immediately grabbed independent Barcelona. I did 3 more wars in quick succession, first to raze Lisbon, and then I attacked France, landing in Italy and conquering Rome, and conquering Barcelona after which France capitulated. I also had to attack the mongols and raze a Persian city to wrap up the 2nd UHV.

The Turks spawned at war with me, and they capitulated after I annihilated their army. Byzantium didn't collapse until near the end, so their expansion was limited.

The rest of the game was spent building missionaries and Islam reached 40% of the world in 1510.

Portugal, Monarch, normal

Finish date: 1700
Score: 5161

This is a little harder now that you cannot send a settler to South Africa. It's still however medium to easy in terms of difficulty.

First build was a courthouse, and a spy was immediately put to work to eventually generate a great spy.

Meanwhile the missionary went east and eventually reached east, establishing contact, opening borders and trading techs.

With only Lisbon, initial tech rate is more pitiful than ever, so I had to rely on Spanish research to steal optics and astronomy from them. Optics was acquired pretty early, and I got the conquerors.

I settled 5 cities in Brazil, 1 in south Africa, 1 in Somalia, and 1 between Ethiopia and southern Egypt. I got Canton, Mbwanza Congo and Maccat from the trading company. I conquered Mombassa and 3 cities in Egypt using conquerors. I could have finished a little earlier, because I assumed settling Sri Lanka would count as Asia, but it doesn't, so I had to conquer a 3rd Egyptian city.
