I just finished a sub 300 turn culture game on King, and having seen a lot of discussion around ICS I'd like to give it a bash, but having focused my game so much on culture recently, I see this as the opposite end of the spectrum.
I'd like to try playing England, the longbows make a very good mid game unit, and naval support from the SotL is also excellent.
So, my plan is to start of similar to a culture game, 4 sites ASAP on a Continents based map. Taking the first few policies to help grow your Civ, go for a religion, and if possible take birthrights for the additional growth.
But after this I'm a bit stuck as to where to go next. How many cities by T50, T100 etc, and what victory condition should I go for ?
Should I cap any cities (in my culture games I normally have 4 cities of over 25 pop plus any puppets) ? Should I try and get a tech lead ASAP?
Lots of questions, but I'd like to give it a go...
