If possible, can any other avid civ'rs post how they play? I need a new line of thinking I believe.
Here is my usual routine and it usually ends with me giving up since I fucked up something along the way:
start city and start a worker.
Research mysticism/polytheism (if my dude already starts with mysticism)
scout around my city expanding the fog in a circular shape.
build a settler
Research priesthood to eventually construct The Oracle and either get:
1. Confucianism if I didn't get polytheism
2. Monarchy or horseback riding if I have easy access to horses.
New city is building a worker than another settler if I have a bunch of gold.
Trends:
I always build a worker with each new city.
After the oracle, I alway go for Music to get artists to blow up cities territory.
My military is usually pretty weak until the neihbors start to get close as I concentrate on world wonders to get artists/scientist.
Except for the first great priest, I use the other great priests to add 5 gold to newer cities.
Depending on terrain, I never usually put a settler in the blue circle but position the cities to get the most resources. Ny 4th city can be a littles ways from the group if there is a resource I want which can be horse,gold,silver, and gems.
I hate barbarians, so I always do a custom game with these options:
1. No barbarians
2. No city razing
3. Uncheck space race, time, and diplomatic victories.
Show me my flaws!!
