Hi, wanted to share my latest Deity run, probably my first turn 190 culture victory, playing as Babylon :)

I am a very "peaceful" player, can get deity wins comfortably but really dislike going for domination and war in general unless it is a defensive one. So I was putting off playing Babylon, tried once a science route but was quite rough without pillaging benefits. I know this is a civ that benefits greatly from being in war even when not going for domination, so thought maybe its not for me.

Then I had the thought of rushing biosphere, was really fun to craft a way to it and wind and solar farms with insane production and tech bonuses you unlock :) I thought of the end goal with those 3 techs (and neighborhoods to be able to build the biosphere itself) and made my way backwards to decide which boosts to get and what to follow. Mostly wanted to share in case it is unknown for those who want to try Babylon but not thrilled about using the advantage for domination.

Turned out to be an insanely enjoyable run so I recommend to everyone!

I had such a blessed run with Saver in nightmare that I had to share! He is probably one of my least favorite potatoes so I was having a lot of trouble, but finally had a run that every single thing went right.

First started with spears intending to find a stick and swap to that. Happened immediately wave 2.

Then found celery tea as early as wave 4, at the same time as unique padding. At that point I thought this is the run for sure.

But then the real deal happened, axolotl that swapped my 87 harvesting and 3 armor between each other! I was like, ok the damage is a bit low but I will not die from this point on.

As soon as I though it, cursed hoodie dropped to give a stupid amount of attack speed for the sticks.

Finally felt like the game loves me :)
