Won my first victory on Emperor

[CELTICEMPIRE]

It was the Iroquois on a tiny Pangaea so it was kind of cheating. There was some challenge as I left culturally-linked starting locations on and thus had to face the Inca (America was reduced to a city on an island I didn't know existed until I saw the replay and the Aztecs weren't too difficult to destroy). I won a domination victory after conquering half of the Inca lands. Had the Inca built the Statue of Zeus before I took their source of ivory I would have had a hard time winning.

It's been 15 years since I bought the game and over a decade since my first victory on Monarch (and with the same civ and settings).

Congratulations! It's a good feeling, isn't it?

Good on yer CE. Been playing Vanilla and C3C since 2002. Never beat Demigod until a few years ago and now I stick with Emperor (Standard maps) for a more relaxing game.. It never gets old, and despite its imperfections it's gotta be one of the greatest grand strategic wargames ever created.

Absolutely. I have well over 1000 hours on this game in steam (not counting the many hours I played as a kid on the disk), while I have less than 200 on Civ 4 and Civ 5.

I myself have finally moved back from Monarch to Emperor. I've won a few space-ship and one diplomatic victory. Feels nice.
