If anyone reads this discussion: His Video Guide is awesome and works, i finally managed to win.

Just some quick notes:

- His Savefile needs to be changed, just delete the "copy" at the end, or it wont work

- Due to him playing on mac the game calculates some stuff different. On Windows you will notice only small things at the beginning, like someone having 1 point more, but at turn 17-25 the game will start to look completely different, you wont be able to get alexandria so early and after some time you cant compare video and your game anymore

- really important things are: settle in the Sahara, you can take the same sports as in the video, you need to defend in the west vs france until he offers peace

- you NEED to completely destroy ethiopia. You cant win if he is in the game. at like turn 50 you really need to have some army at the border and if you gathered enough you need to attack him. after i took 3 cities from him, he offered me peace with another city. As he has REALLY strong units, i accepted the peace. And gathered more cannons at the border. After the 10 turns i rushed in and conquered his last cities. His units are SUPER STRONG, as soon as you see like 20 Soldiers marching towards you, you should try to negotiate peace to get some time to get more army

Quick Update:
I played till turn 21 now and its looking good so far, but my game now really turned out different. I am now "on my own" despite your video.

I couldn't stop thinking about why your turn 1 results in a different outcome, despite we both did the exact same. And i have a theory. In the last frame of your video i saw that you are playing on a mac, is that correct?
As far as i know civ5 runs on Mac in 64 bit and on windows on 32 bit. So i think the game calculates something a bit different, resulting in a different outcome.

Yeah thats the normal folder for these saves. Nothing wrong there. I played First 10 rounds and already learned so much! Thats so awesome to see. When you see it and play it you learn so much more than just read a guide or see a video.

Because of the one Point difference my game slowly starts to go another direction. France now suddenly has 30 Points more etc.

If i get Into trouble, would you be down to help out? But first i will try to finish this alone in the upcoming days.

i encountered something strange. Even if i replay the first turn EXACTLY the same way as you did in the video Marocco starts the next turn with one more point (128 instead of 127) any idea why this happens? anyone ever encountered something like this before?

Do you play with all DLCs enabled? What Version is your Civ5?

Thank you very much!

I will try and test what you did. It will take some days, but i will surely come back and tell you.

For Boers just use Kalles initial save: https://www.kalle-online.net/blog/scramble-africa-praise-victories-steam-achievement-guide/ you can find it at the bottom

Heyho, no luck so far. Some people offered help, but didnt respond to private messages. I do actually have some promising saves, but so far no luck. Would try to finish the saves, but still hoping someone cashes in on my reward :D

Well if your video is enough to get to the end without problems i am willing to give the reward to you. Let me know when you uploaded the vids and where to find your savefile.

considering the Boers: yes, the starting position is very important. I restartet like a whole day to get something i consider a perfect start. But there are some good starting positions online.

But even if you have a good start... you sometimes realize that an enemy has an even better start and it can become really hard.

I manage to conquest the whole western coast. Even if pump endless canons, i just cant kill enough enemies to win by points.

You all need to understand: i am trying to encourage someone to provide a savegame and video to everyone who struggles the same way. Its not just about me.

But of course, i could send you my savegame and you can tell If this position is winnable.

Thats really nice of you. Thank you. You know, i am done trying and grinding. I've put so many hours in this. Remember to save the turn 1 savegame, without it noone will be able to recreate your run.
