This one is not the type of game I like to play, I like civ because itâs a turn-based game and you have time to spend thinking about strategy, micromanagement and other things. Although, since it would be a fast game, I would like to see the worker automation.
It seemed that the âhurry spiritâ took me even before the game started: I havenât planned well the strategy⦠the first thing that went into my mind I did. The plan was to win with AP diplomacy since it has the fastest victory date. Yes it is, but not the fastest victory in time spent! All those missionaries asking for a destiny took me quite a good time. The lack of time to think made me beat my record of weed moves as well!
THE GAME
Settled in place, first build is warrior since Iâm going for Hinduism. Few turns later Hinduism is founded on a distant land 1 turn after Buddhism.

Well, letâs go for Judaism so. The founder of Buddhism was actually Isabella, who is my neighbor! The new plan was then to adopt Buddhism as fast as possible, although expand Judaism.
My scouting warrior dead to hostile villagers as well as the one built in Constantinople.
Judaism is founded there in 2740BC.

Thessalonica is settled western near stones, cows and corn. Adrianople comes later on eastern coast getting pigs and floodplains.
Stonehenge and Oracle (Theology) were built in Constantinople, and the first Great Prophet founded Confucianism.

After some empire expanding, Thessalonica completed Pyramids(donât ask me for what) and the capital starts working on Apostolic Palace, built after 480 years.

Another Great Prophet is born and it builds The Temple of Solomon. I lost Taoism for 3 turns.

At AD times the religion situation of the world got shape: only 2 Jewish (Lincoln and De Gaulle), 3 Hindus (Saladin, Chinese and Gilgamesh) and 2 Buddhist (Isabella and me). It appeared the AP victory would not come, but I continued to send missionaries away. Actually at this time I was more worried about finishing useless World Wonders (such as Chichen Itza!), with stone and marble in hands, and passing the turn fast than building missionaries.
Turns passed and it became obvious that AP victory would be impossible still more that some civs were at Theocracy civic. So I chased the obvious victory: UN diplomacy! Wright?
WRONG! 
What kind of weed I was smoking??? Culture is the fastest victory (time played), culture victory = backspace after liberalism (or even earlier after music and drama). I completed UN in 1665AD. For my luck, the path for Mass Media gave me some +50% culture buildings and I was able to win in 1854AD with 2h38min spent!

I took an interesting screenshot after a weird event: I bribed Saladin for making peace with De Gaulle trying to avoid negative relations with both, he accepted and made peace with the French. Just after that he declared war again!

Well done Saladin you got a free tech⦠but I thought he would be at peace for at least 10 turns. Or not?
So that was my weed game. Thanks for the sponsor.
