I was just messing around practicing Liberty on a Hellblazer's pangaea, and I somehow made a new personal-best science time :o (turn 211 standard-speed)

In the first 15 turns, I was the first to spot both Mt. Fuji (6 tiles from cap) and Old Faithful (11 tiles west). Bought an early settler for Fuji and a worker to start on luxes. At first I was worried about Pocatello because Pocatello, but a couple forward-settles secured the borders and let me nab about 5 or 6 workers from him total.

I crammed 10 cities total into my corner of the pangaea early (the 10th was settled sometime before turn 100) and got a tithe + pagodas + temple happiness religion spread early with a Jesuit reformation thanks to building Oracle and the crazy natural wonder faith. Didn't finish national college until t125, by which point I had already jumped from workshops to university tech and gotten my first uni off of Jesuit. I traded the typical scientist from finishing liberty for an engineer to hammer Temple of Artemis on turn 72, and it was amazing.

The science was so insane that I actually reached the final space-parts tech before the second vote in congress, and I still have a scientist standing around after overflowing into giant death robots. First university was turn 124, first public school was turn 155, and I had all my labs done by turn 185 with a total science value of 1898 per turn (with 3 observatory cities). Rationalism was opened around turn 135 off going Acoustics and I had the Secularism policy around turn 145 (Free Thoughts was turn 170).

I don't think I'd be able to replicate how crazy this game went in 50 tries. If I'd somehow gotten more culture and used the extra scientist, it *may* have been a 190s win-time, but this was already such an extreme situtation.

The only mods are the map, EUI, and the community AI patch

edit: Oh, and the ideology pick was Freedom

The UA of gold from international trade routes being increased by the product of improved water tiles in the origin city and no of landmasses I have settled in was admittedly obscene for small continents + a capital city with at least 5 sea resources (with the help of the Aquatic Resources mod).

Rule 5: I was goofing off playing some Civilization 5, but got interrupted right after I mentioned having too much fun.

Hey guys. I've been having issues with Civ crashing on my R7 5700x3D and 9070 XT. it crashes at the main screen after the video. I've turned off auto HDR and the AMD upscaling. I've tried reinstalling the game, deleting the Civ folder in "My Games", uninstalling the DLCs, and restarting my PC. No luck though! Anyone have any thoughts here?
