(Source: handheld phone video -- it was late) Civ 5 Brave New World Scramble for Africa Ottoman Carpentry Achievement at turns 77 and 99. At 77, it became obvious a win was possible. Also included is a description of the general strategy used and a review of the final information screens. 



Turn 77 video is the first three minutes. Turn 99 and general strategy starts at 3:00. While there are a few other videos/tutorials out there that talk about this scenario, my victories take different paths. 



For Ottoman Carpentry, key points included such things as purchasing coastal tiles to keep a sea channel open, forward settling Ethiopia and harassing settlers until you can settle Sabha & Tobruk close to Ethiopia, not so much depending on selling lump sum of cash for GPT but rather seizing and maintaining land. 



For Praise The Victories (not in video, but I got that one a few years ago), the key was to build farms to increase culture immediately and then choose the culture side of the policy tree.


Both scenarios are very map-dependent. 



Hopefully the general strategy that I talk about ends up being helpful to others. Thanks for watching!
