If anyone is interested, I'm playing denmark on small continents, standard game. No guarantees that I'll finish the whole game (I tend to ragequit a lot) but so far it's going okay. + Show Spoiler + | ||

Because you can either find El Dorado on turn 15 and get 1000 gold. And thus win. Or you find nothing or old faithful -- after someone else found it -- and now you have almost no bonuses and a kind of cool but expensive reneinsance army. | ||

Lake Victoria and Great Barrier Reef are great as well On July 31 2013 09:00 Sub40APM wrote: really? on a normal map like continents or pangea /8 ais and everything?respect. Yes, standard size, standard speed, usually on continents. though I did die some times before I got the domination victory with them. Both the Zulu and Asherbanapalapalapal are better for that | ||

So in order to protect your city from unwanted influence you will have to convert all the cities around it to your religion too. | ||

Both the Zulu and Asherbanapalapalapal are better for that i am actually shocked, especially culture victory. usually some liberty ai will go super wide and have 100-200 tourism by modern age...how do you catch up to that? other than of course pillaging their shit... But yes, Spain sure. Any one of the religion mountains + one with nature = first and powerful religion. King solomons mines + one with nature = 12 hammers + 4 faith... but like i said, what if the two wonders you find and can settle are grand mesa and old faithful? and you didnt find them first so you dont even get the money bonus ..its not brutally underpowered like denmark but still, kind of all in the hands of the map generator unlike any other civ. | ||

Venice will start pretty far away from most other civs, so will the Huns. But obviously for very different reasons. | ||

No idea why Crushinator considers Shoshone strongest or broken, they are great early game but don't have much going for them after, so unless you playing a duel, I don't see them being that powerful. So much you can do with Shoshone in the early game though. And a great start means you pretty much win. You can just kill 2-3 of your neighbours with contnual pathfinder production, turning 1-2 of them into composite bowmen, if you desire. Or you can take the culture/growth/faith bonuses while expanding like crazy, grabbing lots of land with the bonus. The combat bonus helps alot if your neighbours want to do anything about that. | ||

City spam with the shoshone is pretty hilarous. You not only get large territory when settling, but also gain tiles at the same rate, so you can just spam cities to grab as many luxuries as you can and deny them to your neighbours, then when they turn against you because you expand too quickly/too close from their frontiers, you crush them on defence with your bonus on your own land, then counter attack and grab even more cities. One of the most satisfying civ to play, I'd say. | ||
