Game status: Culture Victory
Game date: 1750AD
Turns played: 175
Base score: 1182
Final score: 2230
- Did you use your UU?
Yes. Destroyed countless barbs for culture.
- How useful was your UA?
Managed to miss third faith building, oh well...
- Did you use spying to your advantage?
Stole 1 tech.
- Did the map type help or hinder victory and how?
Delayed contacts, I guess.
- How did the difficulty level affect your game decisions?
Neglected military, as usual. (But got a lot of gifted ones from CS). Caesar was preparing some moves, but I bought him off (rather expensively) a couple of times and he was ok. Stayed peaceful.
- Was Faith helpful to achieve victory? How? Did you build any faith wonders?
SS. Great Mosque, Boro, something else.
- What Social Policies did you choose and in what order? Which Ideology did you choose?
Forgot the exact order, but I think I opened Liberty, Piety, Honour, then got right to Reformation, finished Liberty.
- Did you try Sacred Sites, or n early Great Admiral
This is the first time I have pulled off a CV through (mainly) Sacred Sites. I played three practice games before this one, and failed SS in every and each of them. So the fourth time was the charm
I got a GAdm very late, when it was already irrelevant.
I think my biggest problem is that I still play these games more in the 'fun' way and not as a competition, and build way too much unnecessary stuff.
Anyway, thanks for a nice setup!
