Is Barter.
Seriously.
Unless you are being personally targeted by an angry neighbor (or a huge barbarian horde) - the moment you unlock Barter, YOU WIN.
Literally.
Sure, it will take you SOME MORE TURNS to actually FEEL it - but you HAVE ALREADY WON by that point.
Reason?
Traders.
Both types, but especially the production one.
It DOES NOT MATTER if it takes you 50 turns to build *ONE*.
The NEXT TURN you WILL HAVE *THREE* of them already.
The TURN AFTER - *NINE*.
And it only gets FASTER from there.
In the NEXT *FIVE* TURNS you will have enough *EXCESS PRODUCTION* to literally build ANYTHING - and STILL continue pumping out MORE TRADERS each turn.
And then there are "buildings" that convert production into CULTURE and RESEARCH (and ESPIONAGE, but that's mostly pointless, as is MONEY).
Oh, and you can INVEST as many Traders as you want - and still NOT LOSE the next turn, because these special buildings work perfectly even when NOT being built, when you ADD production to them.
So you can convert *HUNDREDS* of Traders into culture or research - and then simply SWITCH OUT of building that thing altogether.
Yup, by then you will have ALL of that - and MORE.
So, yup, no matter where you are WHEN you reach this point (YES, even if you ARE "far behind in tech", it WON'T MATTER in 20-30 turns anyways) - unless you are being swarmed and overwhelmed ALREADY or BEFORE it, you WILL WIN if you use your BRAIN effectively.
This isn't an "IF", this is a "WHEN".
100% guarantee, if you survive UNTIL this point.
Which, honestly, is quite FAR for an Eternity game - so don't feel RELAXED until you DO reach it.
Enjoy your GAME-BREAKING CHEAT KNOWLEDGE now, because I sure WILL, loool.
The end.
P.S.
This is on Settler, so it MIGHT be much "worse" on the other side of the difficulty scale, lol.
But I doubt it will be MUCH worse, and it will definitely WORK the same way anyways, just SLOWER.
So instead of FIVE turns you will need TWENTY - but you WILL still reach the moment when you manage to have EXCESS PRODUCTION *and* EXCESS TRADERS.
Eventually, at least.
Or so I hope, duh.
