Civ: European
Caravan rehoming
World Conquering 2013AD
Strategy:
1998: select corporation as first tech to research (afterwards pick the path towards the TIGUR tech). talk to the other two human civs to dissolve alliances. set tax 90, luxury 10, hire one scientist. make London celebrating. build a new city at two spaces south to London, sell all hydro plants, rush build the following: airport in London, transports in Stockholm, Madrid and the new city, Darwin's voyage in Kiev (use money to buy the wonder), caravans in other cities.
1999: Kiev built Darwins, get corporation and one other tech (communism?). all caravans upgraded to freights. select commodities demanded by Pan American cities. sell all factories, set tax 80, luxury 20. rush build Colossus in London, transport in Madrid, freights in other cities (buy barracks, switch to engineer then to freight or transport). Move the transport of Madrid west.
2000: rehome all freights to London then ship them to America. Count number of beakers so that you don't waste freights. Sell Universities. rush build transport in Madrid, and rush buy Magellen's expedition in one of your cities. rush build freights in other cities.
2001: sell libraries. rush freights in all cities (3 transports in Madrid plus ME is sufficient for sending freights to America). When a city runs out of commodity, build an engineer and use it to build a new city. Or, rush build sewing system, supermarket, or other wonders (I built all useful wonders, the AIs never got a chance to beat me to anything). Build enough engineers and work your way towards east. It takes a long time to build RRs so every two squares you build a new city to save time.
2002: sell courthouse in London, and SAM in another city.
2003: sell SAM in London.
2007: TIGUR tech in research. Rush build barracks.
2008: Rush build TIGURs in all cities. Revolution.
2009: Change to Fundi (I have SOL). wipe out the Pan Americans. Keep on building TIGURS.
2010: Occupy Surf city of the Alien, and Occupy all Pacific cities except the two in Australia. Rush build palaces in all coastal cities of Pacific (e.g., Singapore, Shanghai, etc. ), then switch to transports. Keep on building TIGURS and use them to search hidden alien cities (use home city screen to check the nearest city).
2011: wipe out Pacific.
An Alien city was in the island east of Africa (Madacasga?) and it took me 3 turns to send troops there from Roma. If I knew the map I could finish it by 2011.
