Adv 34 - The Dullest Variant

[Swiss Pauli]

Decided to play a game where I couldn't settle cities beyond the borders generated by denonating a Culture Bomb immediately after settling. Move a few tiles inland first, of course:



To give us these possibilities:




Didn't get to the pigs in time and lost the site As a change, I decided to go for a Space win. All is going well, and I even have Alu in my lands:

Sadly, Liz was winding up for a CV, and laid down a massive culture smackdown. She stole my Alu of course...





I quit when it became impossible for me to land on AC before she would claim her CV

Why the dullest variant? Well, with neither of my traits being useful at the best of times, and the UU and UB also being useless under my variant there wasn't much to do but hit enter for this Charlemagne! I might consider similar variants in future though, as I could have done better (settled pigs, founded AluCorp) and might have squeaked the win.

Thanks for the game, Archduke!

Am I correct that you chose a SE for your variant ? Maybe you landed the pyramids, do you ?

It was a mixed economy IIRC: I needed quite a lot of farms to get decent pop because of the large amount of overlap, and lack of food specials at the capital. Big GP farm at Prage, GLib in Aachen, but no Pyramids.
