I used it to play Civilization 6 - I had it describe a strategy to win a science victory, with turn by turn benchmarks, on deity mode. Its strategy won.
Was this a preplanned strategy before the game or did you consult GPT during the game as well? If yes, what information about the game state did you tell it and how often?
One prompt, and one response. This is what it wrote:
Winning as Saladin in Civilization VI on Deity mode can be challenging but rewarding. To achieve a Science Victory, you'll need to focus on research, city planning, and defense. Here are some tips and research benchmarks to help you stay competitive:
1. Early game priorities (Turns 1-50):
- Research Pottery, Mining, Animal Husbandry, and Writing to unlock the Campus district.
- Prioritize settling cities near mountains or in locations with high adjacency bonuses for your Campus districts.
- Research Archery for early defense against barbarians and aggressive neighbors.
2. Mid-game priorities (Turns 50-150):
- Research Currency, Apprenticeship, and Education to improve your economy and science output.
- Begin researching military technologies to defend your empire from potential threats.
- Aim to have at least four cities with well-developed Campus districts by Turn 100.
- Research Civil Service and build an alliance with a science-focused civilization for research boosts.
- Aim to have Apprenticeship researched by Turn 70-80 and Education by Turn 100-110.
3. Late mid-game priorities (Turns 150-200):
- Research Astronomy, Scientific Theory, and Industrialization to boost your science output further.
- Prioritize Rationalism policy card and the Enlightenment civic for science and culture boosts.
- Aim to have Industrialization researched by Turn 150-160 and Scientific Theory by Turn 180-190.
4. Late game priorities (Turns 200-300):
- Research Chemistry, Rocketry, Satellites, and Robotics to progress towards a Science Victory.
- Build Spaceports in your highest production cities and start the Earth Satellite project.
- Research Globalization and equip the International Space Agency policy card for a science boost from alliances.
- Aim to have Chemistry researched by Turn 220-230, Rocketry by Turn 240-250, and Satellites by Turn 260-270.
5. Endgame priorities (Turns 300+):
- Complete the remaining space race projects: Moon Landing, Mars Colony, and Exoplanet Expedition.
- Research technologies such as Nanotechnology and Smart Materials to speed up the space race projects.
- Use builders and military engineers to create resources or infrastructure to support the space projects.
General tips for playing as Saladin:
- Make use of Saladin's ability to automatically receive the final Great Prophet to found a religion.
- Leverage the Arabian unique building, the Madrasa, for extra science in cities with Holy Sites.
- Utilize the Arabian unique unit, the Mamluk, for defense and offense as necessary.
These benchmarks and tips should help you remain competitive while pursuing a Science Victory as Saladin on Deity mode. Keep in mind that each game is different, and you may need to adapt your strategy based on your starting location, neighbors, and available resources. Good luck!
