What is the most succsesful game of civ you have ever played?

[Lincoln3457]

I was playing as Lincoln on Noble difficulty and from the beginnig the game was amazing I found many tribal villages and was a natural at scientific reseach. In the Year 1550 AD I allied with Britain and discoverd Rifling. I Later teamed up with Britain in 1780 AD against Russia and Egypt who were using outdated troops (archers mainly) and I had Rifleman, The British used musketmen. We won that war in 7 turns. I discoverd Marines and Tanks in 1880 and 1900 AD. So In 1920 Me And Britain went up against Germany and Rome. We again easily won. I ended up winning that game in 1950 AD by Conquring and vassalating all the other nations in the world. Had A score of 7500.

Hmm had a really good game recently, marathon huge continents on immortal 18 civs. Perfect start location (high commerce and decent early production). Axe rushed Pericles for good deal of land. Teched up and used Macemens to devastate Kublai Khan around 100 AD, made him my vassal and had him spam more macemen out

More techs and overran Mehmed with Cavalry in 1100 AD, Shaka (and his vassals, Charlemange and Washington) and Hannibal followed 1400 AD with Infantry leaving me in control of my whole continent. Mechanized infantry with CR3 invaded the other continent in ~1600 AD leaving me with a domination win in 1648 or some such.

Have never had such a good start with such a good economy before it went roughly like this:

By 1 Ad ~300 breakers/turn
By 500 Ad ~500b/t
By 1000 Ad ~1200b/t
by 1500 Ad ~2500b/t
at the end I was at 60% Science and 3500 breakers per turn. Gonna love those cottages

It was a forum game - think it was the monarch student series with Asoka. I remember we were on the same continent with Shaka, Wang, Pacal and Hammy. I started worker-worker, and chopped out enough axes to rush both Shaka and Wang, never stopped warring until I had beaten down Hammy and Pacal. Had the whole continent to myself and then destroyed the other continent, getting two to cap in about 10 turns for a dom win. I think it remains my highest score (about 160k), although the recent genghis forum game was close.

Forum game. It was the first week I'd moved up to monarch. My 3rd monarch game, the first one being a wheezing barely-won culture snorefest, the second a failed attempt at madscientists mao RPC. Cam_H released a role play challenge: Churchill of england with no libraries or caste system allowed. I had no business in such a game @ monarch, but decided to participate anyway. I started a mass chain capitulation that wound up giving me a score around 135,000 - which stood atop my HoF for quite some time.

It was only the 2nd time I remember where I went "super mass horse archers", and was comical as more experienced players were surprised that I ignored both espionage AND siege COMPLETELY despite the limitations placed on the game.

My best game that I played I just finished a few hours ago.
Randomly started with Augustus Caesar/Roman Noble difficulty and just steamrolled all the civs (Shaka included) with Praets. I then proceeded to destroy other continents and ended up with a massive tech lead and a domination victory 1938 AD. My tech rate was 80% at +2221 beakers per turn.

 

[Conqistador]

A recent victory on the Giant Earth mod by Genghis_Kai is my most successful. It was as the Dutch and athough only on noble difficulty, it was conquest only and still took 57 hours total. I got Sid's Sushi in 1412 AD, Creative Con. in 1480 AD and got the GA required for Civ. Jewels by around 1600 AD. Amsterdam ended up with 51 population and was producing almost 3,000 culture a turn by the end, London (Wall Street and Corp. HQ city) was producing more than 10,000 gold a turn and I ended up with about 500 cities, of which I built over 50 myself.

In case anyone is wondering, after reaching the end of your own civilisation's "city list" you start using city names from the other civilisations, for example I founded amongst others Yakutsk, Nottingham and Hastings hudreds of turns after their civilisations had been captured by my armies.

On the turn I got the victory notification, I was producing over 78,000 beakers a turn at 100% science, over 410,000 culture a turn and due entirely to over 400 cities "building" Wealth, had a cash surplus of 14,100 a turn. I ended up with about 230,000 points, something like 3x my previous best score.

My most interesting games always seem to happen when I play as Hannibal. One of these instances was an eight player custom game on a balanced map. Through a series of wars that lasted until about 1740 AD myself and August Cesar has managed to eliminate everyone else on the map to where it was just the two of us. I finally declared war on him in 1868 AD only to win a cultural victory in 1935 AD.

The second of these instances was a game that I played recently on Prince. This time it was a 12 player Pangea map. I was unlucky enough to be shoved up on a peninsula at the start of the game and never had a chance to expand because my cultural borders immediately ran up against the Dutch. So, I noticed that Joao II was on the map and also took note from previous games I had played with him in that he never really gets involved in any wars... he just sits back, expands, and researches everything! So, I made it my mission to do the same and get really buddy-buddy with him so that when the time came I could forge a permanent alliance with him, because I was going nowhere... I was too small and therefore my research capacity was not near what it needed to be in order to procure a space-race, which was really the only option for me at this point. I forged the alliance in 1780 AD and I basically rode on his coat-tails to a space race victory in the 1960s AD.
