OCC strategy suggestions?
I have some questions regarding One City Challenge (OCC) type games that I was
hoping to get some help with. Last night , I was FINALLY able to win a game at Deity
level, after about 16 tries from the same start.
There were two things that gave me really big headaches,
#1 was the other civs attacking me just before I launched the space ship, causing major
delays and headaches, and I even had to restart from earlier saves a few times when they
overran my meager defenses. The other civs would keep demanding large amounts of
cash . Naturally, I refused. (Should I have given it to them?) My loyal allies declared war
on the Civ that attacked me, but that didnt actually do me any good.
My solution was to alternate building space ship parts with defensive units. I built a
barracks, then two mechanised infantry, then SAM missile defense. That put a stop to
the attacks, or at least rendered them insignificant. This worked fine, but delayed the
launch of the ship until 1908. Is there a better answer?
Problem #2 relates to production, I tried to get the level of shield production up to the
level of 80 shields, but I found that when I did that, it generated so much pollution that it
caused a food shortage. My two engineers and one settler just couldnt keep up with the
problem. I had built a Hydro Plant, which helped, but not enough. I could have built the
Solar plant, but I would have to delay space ship part production to do that. Is that a good
idea? Is there some particular amount of farmland squares needed to avoid the food
problems?
Any help or even random ramblings on the above topics much appreciated!!
