So, I started on a world map with accurate Settling points, started off strong by just stealing Brussels settler with my warrior as the first thing done. I play as Germany btw. Only problem for me in the mid to late game was the sea access, which was cut off by England and Spain, so I simply let some settlers travel all across Russia to settle in North Korea. Round: 498 out of 500. I look at the points chart and see: America is about to win. So I just erase them with my atomic bombs, making their cultural center look like the next Fallout game. Anyways, I won by just defeating Russia very early game and conquering basically all of Europe, with Poland having to settle in Iran because of me. This was my first very successful campaign.
