Turn 366 science victory - my first Immortal win
Spoiler :
My first attempt at an Immortal challenge having been working my way through the Emperor challenge in recent weeks - not exactly my finest hour taking me until turn 366 to complete a Science Victory. Very impressed with some of the quicker finish times on Cultural Victories on this map, must try to give that a go at some point.
Started off settling Kyoto on the Gold near the start location, sending my warrior North where I found a culture ruin (meaning that I could go for a second scout followed by shrine in Kyoto rather than a monument). Warrior then found Askia and stole a worker from Gao before running away from Askia's 3 warriors!
I fairly quickly settled Osaka just south of Gao and Tokyo on the coast just to the North West, stealing a second worker from Zurich along the way. My scouts found all other AI's by circa turn 60 which helped with trade and happiness throughout the game.
Askia DOW'd twice, the second time with support from Assyria, both times I managed to repel him and the second time I popped a citadel just south of Gao to steal the Dyes from under his nose. I was helped massively in this second attack by managing to ally with Sofia who helped to protect my western flank from Assyria - without that I might have been in trouble.
Close to the end game Askia popped two GG's into my territory and was massing an army so I traded with him to go and DOW Pacachuti - he obediently sent his massed army to the east and I promptly stabbed him in the back and captured Gao and the 2 citadels.
