Petra dude, I once had a perfect start for Petra, like 9 desert hills, I beeline currency as hard as I can, detouring just to pottery for granary (got some wheat) and then 1 turn before currency finishes, Petry has been built.. about 2 turns after Hanging Gardens.

Starting in desert just seems so awesome. First religion pretty much guaranteed if you grab +1 faith from desert tiles, and obviously Petra if you get it.

Well, until about the renaissance everybody will be outteching you, so they have a headstart. Unless you manage to rush GL, then you have a chance... but it's REALLY hard to get GL on deity, even as Ramses :p

A favourable start with a few forests to chop definitely helps with pushing GL on higher difficulties.

I imagine that's how serial killers are born:

"Sweet! My petra will be complete in 1 turn and my city will be one the best in game!"

*hits next turn*
Petra has been completed by a civilization far away!

*punches the nearest small animals*

I've definitely raged after losing Petra and generally abandon the game. You have to sell out so hard to get Petra that if you miss it, you're kinda screwed on the higher difficulties.

EDIT: My favorite near miss of Petra was watching the Huns build it one turn before I did. I looked at their capital, and the fuckers had ONE desert tile. ONE!

1 turn before the research for the gw isnt as bad as 1 turn before you finish yours...especially if you just burnt a ge for it.

Could someone please break down exactly what 'great works' do (art,music,writing)? I'm only on my 2nd game and I really don't understand if I should be using culture bombs or creating great works or what. I won my first game with cluture tourism, so I don't really want to do that this game.

great works generate 2 culture and tourism each turn, more of themed with other works in a wonder.

Great artists, musicians and writers work like other great people, you should make them make works of art untill modern era ca. then do golden age and culture bomb etc.

Even if you aren't going for culture victory you should still try to get the guilds at least for some minor tourism to protect you from other ideologies.

Doesn't culture defend you? Not tourism? Or am I wrong?

culture defends you against being influenced by the other ai but i think tourism is what defends you against ideology.

i wouldnt bother with great musicians until the modern age -- all great workers acts cap at the moment of creation (or at least i know for sure musicians are that) so if you get a bunch of early era musicians their culture bomb value will be like 200-300, meaningless by the time you actually want to use them in the industrialish and onward era. (unless, has anyone tried an early culture rush? does it ever work? hard to imagine how it would, youd have to have crazy tourism early...maybe as byzantium that piety thing that gives you +2 tourism, and then your 3 things are all faith buildings and you rush towards artist guilds quickly? seems super wonky). Makes much more sense to save them, as late as even the internet perhaps and then faith buy them and spawn the so you can get 5000-6000 culture attacks per musician. Unless there is some culture run away you should be able to submit them

Anyways, onto other things. How do you guys do a domination victory by reneisance? I've been trying it with zulus but after you take out a civ or two everyone hates you, so no more trades and even though the imp is truly truly glorious and the zulu experience bonus + honor experience bonus means you have a bunch of super upgraded xbowmen and impi running around eventually someone gets to industrial way ahead of you and its gg out.

The reformation tourism thing is a really easy way to win king and I think emperor on Pangea. Some people had like 170 turns or maybe faster wins on these difficulties. Obviously not gonna win you the game on higher difficulties though, if only because AI prioritizes all the faith building beliefs so that it's almost impossible to get 2 of them.

Doesn't AI start with writing on diety? I'm pretty sure that some AI will begin GL on turn 1 so it's not ever worth rushing to it.

I've seen Great Library go on turn 35 on Deity, which is beatable with a really lucky start as an Egyptian. Then again I've seen it go at turn 30 which you just can't achieve.

I love playing Venice but damn starting in the middle of Europe with no CS less than 6 moves away is a pain and a bad bad way to start. Then starting in SE Asia and having Attila as a neighbor, takes on puppet and a stalemate for 1.5k years and stuck at 2 cities has left me nearly behind.

What happen when you adopt ideology that someone has already adopted? For example, if i pick order when someone already open 5 of them? Do i get all 5 of that perks?
