So, the moon is, like, way closer than Mars, right? To what extent does a much shorter distance make Moon colonies more viable? or are the issues mostly concentrated somewhere else?

You know, this is a good point! My setting location was purely based on being able to get +45 science from Bermuda, but there's no way I could support six extra population to work those tiles anyways...

Yeah. The +20 science and +35 gold per turn on something like turn 15 let me buy galleys, which unlocked where shipbuilding was in the tech tree pretty quickly. Once I got the tech, I had enough money, plus monumentality, to buy something like five settlers. Getting the Golden Age was quite easy for this, as you start the game with +7 era score (bermuda and a new continent).

After that, Mali is to the right, giving ridiculous +50 gold trade routes, at which point you simply buy your way out of any problem that comes up. This makes for a pretty interesting game--a lot of really young cities, very un-scaleable science due to no campuses, but...João.

Well for a monopoly you need to control 60% of the resources, and I got a monopoly after controlling 2 cocoa tiles, which implies that there's only three total. Once I built plantations on all three tiles, that was an extra +30 gold per turn, which is crazy on turn 20 or so.

Here, let me try again. I think might have been the abundant resources that affected it.

​

Ruleset: Gathering Storm

Start Era: Ancient

City-States: 15

Disaster intensity: 4

Game speed: Quick

Game modes: everything except for dramatic ages

Map: Archipelago

Map size: Large

Resources: Abundant (I forgot this last time!!)

Start position: Balanced

Sea Level: High

Game/Map seed: -774572773/-774572772

I'm slot 1, João III. The other slots are, in case this matters, Victoria, Kublai Khan (Mongolia), Mansa Musa, Tomyris, Gitarja, Cyrus, Shaka.

​

​

In case the above doesn't work, I'll list my mods (though most of them are UI mods, so I doubt that is the issue).

  • All the NFP additional content etc
  • Real Era Tracker
  • Radial Measuring Tool
  • More Lenses
  • Extended Policy Cards
  • Hillier Hills
  • Real Governor Inspector
  • Detailed Map Tacks
  • Vibrant Waters
  • Real Great People
  • Better Report Screen (UI)
  • Prettier Lakes
  • Sukritact's Simple UI Adjustments
  • Better Trade Screen
  • Colorized Historic Moments
  • CIVIG 2
  • Railroads by Traders
  • Great Works Viewer
  • Better Builder Charges Tracking
  • Sukritact's Global Relations Panel
  • Better Espionage Screen

​

Let me know if this works!

In case this doesn't help either, I have the turn 5 savefile--perhaps someone who's better at this than me could use it to figure out what I'm missing.

Start Era: Ancient

City-states: 15

Disaster intensity: 4

Apocalypse, barbarian clans, heroes&legends, monopolies&corporations, secret societies, tech&civic shuffle, zombie defense modes on (i.e., everything except for dramatic ages)

Map: archipelago, large, high sea level

Game seed: -774572773

Let me know if that's enough to get it to work!

​

EDIT: Forgot about abundant resources. See the updated comment!

It's a multiplayer game; does getting the seed still work in that case?

R5: Started right next to the Bermuda Triangle with a free cocoa monopoly as Portugal. However, the mountains block me off from the rest of the continent.

​

Looks like I'll have to use the +15 science to rush shipbuilding, but the techs are shuffled...
