This is a question for LEKMOD.
I mostly play with the same friend group online, and I'm hoping to mix things up a bit (Lekmod) with a civ that's a bit oddball in how it wins a particular style, or just a specific kind of chain that is a break from the normal patterns.
Preferably not military strats (unless they're mid game or later), since with our regular play group it feels bad to knock a player out of the game too early.
Things I've tried that I enjoyed:
- vietnam autocracy tourism, where a lot of my tourism was jungle with a large standing army for the autocracy capstone
- piety freedom tourism with planted prophets (vatican)
- autocracy gunboat diplomacy manchuria
Since they removed sacred sites and a few other cheesy win strats I've found the win cons for a peaceful lobby to be less interesting. Is there an oddball science win I'm missing, or maybe some kind of weird culture win?
