Spamming to Modern Era Domination
This comes from a tip posted on Reddit:
- For civics, be sure to focus on Defensive Tactics as soon as feasible, then grab Military Training
- Research Mining and build two cities, at least one must be on the coast near two sea resources
- Make three mines to unlock Apprenticeship
- Build an Industrial Zone in the second city for the free Workshop (since it'll have weaker production)
- Build a second IZ and Workshop in the first city (unlocks Industrialization)
- Important: At least one IZ must be within one hex of a River tile for Ruhr Valley
- Improve two sea resources and build a Harbor with at least one adjacent free land hex
- Spam Industrial Zone Logistics to snarf Great Engineers (you need Wonder-builders Imhotep & Isadore, plus da Vinci)
- Use one charge from each Wonder-builder to make the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (near the Harbor)
- This keeps one charge on each, which becomes two each once the Mausoleum is built
- Built a Factory in the IZ near the river, then use the four remaining charges to build Ruhr Valley (unlocks Flight)
- Build a Coal Power Plant (unlocks Refining) and grab Oil.
You've unlocked two Modern techs. Use da Vinci to unlock two more for free. What you get will set you up for domination.
- Chemistry: Build the Statue of Zeus and use AT Crew.
- Combustion: Build 3 Tanks (unlocks Composites) then build Modern Armor.
- Electricity: Build an Oil Power Plant (unlocks Advanced Ballistics). Use Machine Guns.
- Radio: Grab Aluminum and build 2 Aerodromes and 3 Biplanes to get Bombers and Helicopters.
- Replaceable Parts: Use Infantry units.
- Steel: The only one with no good units, but your defenses are excellent.
Miscellaneous Tips
- Build the Great Library (Recorded History, Classical civic) to get free techs all game.
- If you encounter the City-State Nalanda, become their suzerain at least long enough to build one Mahavihara.
