Civilization V Funny screenshots

[Alphons Rodulfo]

How did this galley manage to come in blue ocean? Did you capture it wiht a privateer? That happens with Polynesian triremes/galleasses.

As far as I know, only barbarians produce galleys. Yes, I captured it with a privateer. The thing was raiding my transcontinental trade route. After capture, it could not move anywhere so I had to disband it.

I wonder how the barbarian galley got into deep ocean. It could not have been caused by a mod glitch, because I played without mods.

I think this screenshot speaks for itself.

Spoiler :

Brilliant.

This is how my brother controls a civilization without taking the last city to avoid warmonger status. Pretty nice ! No one can enter neither leave the city without permission !

Note that the city limits can grow through the territory but if the civ makes any trouble, he will be wipped out in the blink of an eye! !

Spoiler :

Looks cool but to be honest this is horrible waste of great generals :l Not even a single citadel is truly necessary here...

I saw something similar in a recent game, with no mods, where Montezuma had an ironclad just sitting out in ocean tiles, about 3 or 4 hexes south of Monty's southernmost borders.

Ironclad can enter in ocean tiles. It has double movement on coastal tiles.

I wonder how you were able to build a citadel next to the city.

Witness beautiful Venetian architecture, where mostly the placement of our buildings is truly a marvel to the world.

I love the zoom-in feature

 

[DaNuke]

Yea, it is a very pretty screenshot! ^^

Buildings outside the walls? Child's play. What about the Mayan tradition of building walls outside the buildings?

That wall going through the Coliseum is a whole new take on "restricted view seating".

 

[senshidenshi]

Just when you thought Alex couldn't get any more jerkish...

I once had that happen in a coastal city and it reminded me of the military harbour in Carthage. Shame I didn't screenshot it.

I thought it was about the light house and harbor being on the lake instead of the sea?

Yup. The Lighthouse, Harbor AND Collossus all on the 1-tile lake instead on the sea, to be precise. The walls don't even matter in my shot.

When I have a coastal city near a lake, all the sea-related building appear on the lake shore everytime

I suppose he was (or he still) at war in with Kamehameha, in this case, any unit produced in the city will die very soon.

Since G&K, in vanilla they were restricted to coast tiles, wich made them almost useless.

That's true, I tried building a citadel next to a city once and failed. I even had other citadels built to make the citadel next to my border and next to the target city. When I put the GG next to the city, the citadel button wouldn't turn on.

 

[Browd]

The GG has to be in a tile immediately adjacent to your culture borders, but it should work. And if you use the GG next to a city, it cannot claim the city tile itself.

That wall has the flood control on the local river.

Senshidenshi one question - how do you have 695 happiness required to the next golden age?? I thought it goes 500 -> 750 (and currently there are no modifiers to that...)
