Played using bsnes v107r1.
The significant time gain in this run is in large part due to a mechanic that I only just learned about yesterday! Units, wonders, and space ship parts cost double the amount of gold to fast build compared to a normal building of equal production value. But there's no penalty to just fast build a normal building and swap to the unit/wonder/SS part you want... pretty cheesy, but it worked! This also work in other ports of Civ 1.
I'm genuinely happy with this run, minus some bad input habits that I need to work on. Getting a sub-hour time would be fun and feasible. -- Watch live at / random__encounter

0% chance of success, 0% support, 0% energy, and yet 10,000 Indians survived 20 years on an oxygenless, lightless ship to get to Alpha Centauri. Man. They'll survive ANYTHING. Good run! Was wondering if you'd beat the Middle Ages time period or not. You didn't, but you came pretty darn close!

Thank you! I have given thought over the years to pushing the time down, but I would be just as happy to see someone else do it too.

Is there a speed run for least turns? I can win space race before 2000 BC on Emperor! Have the ultimate strat nobody does from what I can tell from watching youtube.

Why the India start? I always thought China had a much better starting position. Anyways nice run.

@rogelioVela1985 4 года назад

awesome run. i was thinking of doing it or not. i wonder if playing as the japanese or the aztec is more faster since the gold locations are nearby.

@random_encounter Год назад

The Japanese have a really poor starting position IMO, but it could be possible to get a better start by playing as the Aztecs or Americans. If you do a run, post a link here!

I'm really curious, at 13:06 what is the technique you're doing here and why? Looks like you set the city to build Barracks, bought it outright, then switched to Settler. This game is a little piece of my childhood so your run is fun thanks!

@random_encounter Год назад

The game lets you finish production outright by buying the thing you're building, but it costs more gold to finish wonders and military units this way. By buying the remaining production on a regular building first then swapping to a unit or wonder, you get the same amount of production for much cheaper. I hope this helps!

@@random_encounter Thanks, that's helpful! I just finished watching this run, well done. I'm also curious about the space ship with 0% chance of success - is that a bug in the game?

@random_encounter Год назад

@@Sevish I would assume it's a bug. This issue and the building production exploit would be fixed in Civ II.

Why India? Location? Is there a route I can look up?

@random_encounter Год назад

India has access to good city locations and resources early on. Also, most of your competitors will start nearby, allowing you to kill them off early before they become a problem.

There is no way you got rocketry at 120 bc

@random_encounter 11 месяцев назад

Believe it! You could probably get it faster with another city contributing science output and caravans, though menu navigation would slow things down overall.

@teebuffet8393 Год назад

Did you use a cheat or something?

@random_encounter Год назад

No cheat codes or modifications to the ROM. But there is an exploit regarding how the game gives cost to production for wonders, units and buildings. TL;DR you can buy wonders more cheaply by first putting production into regular buildings, then swapping to wonders and paying the difference.
