About to settle my third city, and I have eyes on cities four and five. There's an unironically good place to put the Golden Gate Bridge in the south, which I'm already hopefully setting up. I'm not quite sure where I'm going in terms of my win condition, but Domination is pretty much the easiest victory to achieve, so I'm going to say that my aim is for a science victory.

While Firaxis has been trying to buff Tall play, Wide is still a very valid form of play.

Mmmm... I dont have the same starting point

Um. I'm sorry I have a cold. I'll be able to check things out tomorrow

there we go. i've updated the save file. sorry for the inconvenience!

well, I started by going directly to the big bathroom and avoiding the floods, little food in the capital and something backward in expansion, some barbarians bothering and two somewhat bellicose neighbors ... I'll see if Joao has to declare a war
I think I'll choose the void singers to have faith

[Dami]

Having the Mayans so close and with such good terrain, I am preparing to declare war on them, the amount of money that international trade routes give is incredible, I have to explore more ...
I am going to a dark era without stops ..

After defeating my neighbor, I decided to go for the cultural victory, the truth is that the bonuses for each commercial route in Portugal are excellent, many rock bands and sectarians later came the victory.


PD: it does not allow me to upload the save for the size greater than 2 mb

Okay - I didn't set a size limit on 6 save files when I added them, so I guess something automatic kicked in.

It'll take up to 5mb now. Please try again.

I think something is broken:

"The attachment storage directory does not exist or is not writable".

Cannot attach any type of file (.civsave, .jpg, etc)
