I've never played India that's true. Right now I'm playing one has the US. First time Ever!

I usually pick Random & RNG loves Greece.

RNG?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Random Number Generator.

Stupid Archeology bug.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

I like the Random - Random - Random - Emperor - Marathon setting. Am I on Pangea Small or Continents Standard or Small Continents Large - I do not know.

I didn't know this was possible but Tyre conquered Sparta and now controls it.

City-states can control multiple cities, they don't have to burn down every city they capture (and with capitals they can't in any case).

Never seen anyone mention that before.

Archipelago maps make for a boring game. Lots of boats tho.

Yeah, easy but boring.

Maybe it depends on type of victory. I've failed badly at a Cultural one.

I'm having trouble avoiding a diplo victory every time. By the late game I have so much money that I easily control every city-state on the map, by the time the world leader vote comes around.

Last night I finally got my first new cultural victory, two turns before I would have gotten the diplo one.

Yeah, I'm surprised that after all this time, they haven't built in an inflation dynamic of some kind to city-state costs.  Obviously 500 gold at the start of the game is a more sizable amount than 500 gold in the end of the game.  It takes you 50 turns to get it in the beginning, if you're doing very well, and 1-2 turns to get it in the end.

As I said before, I am playing a game as Washington on an Archipelago map. I'm going for a cultural victory but with 50 turns left to go, it's readily apparent that I won't get influential in time. None the less I am bidding my time trying to get it anyway.

But! Out of the jaw of defeat comes Victory for, with 40 turns left, the Inca declare war on me. (Leading Civ at the time). My giant Battleship fleet then proceed to conquer their entire territory earning me a point victory.

Thank you, The Inca.

When I was going for a cultural victory I couldn't overtake Brazil in time so I nuked the shit out of them.

 :hmm: Are you people beelining for the Internet?  Airports?  Do you assign specialists to be writers/musicians/etc.?

The Internet was a big thing, sure

Have Open Borders and trade routes. And basically I always went for culture whenever possible (and tourism). Not sure what I did. I was Egypt. It was my first New world game, on King difficulty. And I won.

I just realized the power of caravans transferring production. Using two to transfer prod to my capital in the current game, the capital can build a lot faster that way.
