I restarted at least a half-dozen times in a row until I got a suitable location tucked up near the north pole. Restart until you find a map where all three of your cities are, if not on their own island(s), on a remote peninsula with lots of surrounding water and no nearby civs. Judging by the comments, this is what makes or breaks your game in this case. Now, what I found to be the most important bit. Starting with Democracy is hugely beneficial, as you'll want that +50% to science and gold ASAP. Stick to the Lightning Round scenario, but play as the Greeks. And the Japanese didn't seem to really have any advantage that was helping. I just couldn't keep my tech up high enough while fighting one or two (or even three) wars at once. So I tried the top rated solution and it just wasn't working. It is a matter of geographical luck I'm afraid. My recommendatiom would be to follow what i did here as best as possible and hope you're distant from other Countries. I attempted to buy Tech by discussing World Matters with the USA, who would arrange a meeting with other countries none wanted to sell! Again, no need at this point as i was still way in the lead. Didn't have ANY trouble with any countries. Once I had Libraries in each city, i switched to science in all of them! I was researching most of the Technologies for about 2-3 turns. I didn't find Atlantis but tbh, I didn't need it. Made a start on building Libraries ASAP in all cities and 2 Gallies (for exploring). Switched to Democracy as soon as I researched it. I managed to get an island on my own, i made the most of this by first building settlers in all three cities, sending them to build cities until i couldnt fit any more on this island. I tried this over and over a good few times without any luck. if you are having any issues at all, chuck a comment below and i'll private message you back, i check TA most days so should get back to you within 48 hours. other than democracy which will give a science boost, ALWAYS RESEARCH THE TECH WITH THE SHORTEST TURN TIME. if going one way yields nothing simply reload your save and search the other way Yushir0 also pointed out that to 'win' the lightning round scenario you have to reach the modern era (requiring 24 techs). then search for Atlantis as this is worth 3 technologies. save your game as soon as you get a ship. hopes this helps (first attempt at a guide) Update: Der Tiroler has made a good point. if you notice you are constantly getting beat by the same faction try using them (thats why i used the japs). the game i did get it in lasted less than 20 minutes. i think i got this more through luck than skill however i got it on my 2nd or 3rd attempt as the japanese as opposed to 10 or more trials with the aztecs. build libraries as quickly as you can then if you are under attack build defensive units, if not use your largest city to spam settlers then settle them as near to the sea as possible. customise your workforce between water and production tiles. ![]() ![]() keep restarting until you get 3 cities surrounded by as much water as possible. The japs gain an immediate bonus by gaining food from sea tiles which is where you get your research aswell. admitedly i was fortunate enough to be in a position where i could only get attacked from one direction and the computers never bothered looking for me. I found this much easier to do as the Japanese on the Lightning Round scenario.
