My game is going poorly.
My high level plan was national college and then expand one more city and hunker down for a serious culture push with CS allies, hoping to be attacked to pick up puppets on the counter attack.
The science and culture were strong in the beginning, I was way ahead of the pack in tech, got myself the oracle, quite a few social policies in tradition and piety.
However, money became a pretty bad bottleneck and now I'm feeling the squeeze...fighting a war with Rome with no money, and two cities to produce units. ( one with horrible production ). So now that I am pumping out elephants to fight off Rome I'm making no progress on any scientific or cultural front...
Will grind it out and see how it plays out but I think the 4 city free wat with legalism approach sounds way better in hindsight. I think my only chance is somehow the elephants sway the war and I bag a few puppets from Rome. Even with my tactical advantage, I'm predicting a stalemate.
