Being a long-time lurker, I downloaded this adventure just to see what all the fuss was about. Wasn't expecting much on my end, so I didn't take any screen shots and most of my notes are from memory, but here goes...
Founded Seoul 1 SW, foolishly thinking Iâd get more production. Lost a farm in the BFC to a barb, and that hurt me all game.
Founded Pyongyang on the NW coast and went for the Great Lighthouse, which I won. Didnât know I had stone in the east as all my exploring went to the west to try and make early contact. The extra commerce really helped out for a long time.
Wosan grabbed the spice and corn NW of capital and Puson was founded in the SW to try and block HRE. The city eventually won the culture battle late in the game, flipping Prague right after I built Wall Street in Seoul. Prague would be my main commerce city for the final turns.
Built just one worker all game and he chopped a few forests outside BFCâs for extra production, but spent most of the game eating donuts and drinking coffee.
Other cities went to the east just to fill in and only Napo, which grabbed the fish to the east really contributed anything. (Maoi really helped there)
Adopted Buddhism early to cozy up to Charlemagne and Justin, which formed a nice buffer zone as I was weak military wise. Got into a couple of phony wars for the modifiers, and eventually only captured a few of Ramsesâ island cities in conflict.
Beelined Mass Media to build the UN and got it in 1715. Used a GE to rush Broadway in Puson and also got the Eiffel in Seoul. Was elected president, but couldnât get enough votes to put me over the top.
Started gearing up for space, knowing it would be tough with no lumber mills or extra production. Built Apollo in 1903 and began the slow slog building parts. Research was strong and had all the basics done pretty quick, the only thing holding me back was production.
Charlie and Justin went after Brennus, but Charlie was my main competition in the UN vote so I bribed him to make peace and let Justin wipe him out.
Was gifting Hammy techs and resources for a long time to get him on my good side and finally got him to friendly.
Was four turns from launching with just 1 engine when Justin lifted off the pad, but, for some reason, on the next turn he voted for me for Diplo victory and his last few captures put me over the top.
Diplo win in 1949, 17792 final score.
Great game and even better experience. I will be back.
