Hello all,
I got my first win on Immortal today, which was also my first attempt. :D After getting one of each victory type on Emperor, I decided to take the plunge to Immortal. I figured I'd lose a few before I shook off some bad habits, but managed to win thanks to --- luck.
I've attached my initial save and my turn-before-victory save. I made two blunders that could have shaved about 15 turns off the win time. First, I hit industrial late, but that was mostly because I only had two cities and very low bpt. Second, I was trying to get an engineer to help build the utopia project, but I forgot to turn off the artist production in my second city. Then, when I almost got an engineer to finish off Utopia, a city state gifted me another artist, which made the engineer more expensive.
I expect to get creamed a couple of times when I get a more 'normal' map, but for now, I'm savoring my first Immortal win!
