Because reasons, that's why. In all honesty though, it's likely some pin-headed project manager with an MBA specializing in "how to fleece customers" calling the shots and cracking the whip on the devs. ROI and such. Fix the low hanging fruit (easy bugs) and ignore the harder stuff (AI...

This. For the love of all that is good, clean and holy, THIS.

After reading about today's update, yes.

So I finally won this map on turn 356 with my first culture vic, playing to France's UA and without the game crashing. Spammed wonders, resorts, fended off late game multi DOWs. Just saturated on 4 cities and it kinda played itself lol

This is exactly what happened to me too...it was irritating that a war was going on across the map yet my cities were getting wrecked out of the blue by a city state.

"the rest" is typically more AT and mech infantry :(

I "armied" my tanks and was kinda sad that they got their asses kicked my non-armied enemy units.

God, I wish you'd have recorded a Let's Play for this game...jeebus.

@eletetroops So I tried what you did and here's how it went. I settled the western spots fast and took Kandy with 3 archers and a coupla warriors. By turn 50ish or so, my capital was wrecked by horse barbs from the southeast, (cuz I was still spamming settlers) horse barbs spawed from a camp...

I've read and watched a lot of folks saying that horse units reign supreme, and on paper, the various reasonings are rather sound. However, in practice and in my experience the deity AI has a fetish for beelining AT Crews and Mech Infantry. So, yeah, I have lots of tanks and cavalry units but...

Um, wow...ok, looks like I need to learn to play haha. It is kinda weird to see the same map but with what someone else did with it lol. You got very lucky with the barbs...see those horses south east of paris? I've had 5 horsemen by T25 swarming my capital haha (if you scout southeast first...

Any tips on actually getting Cristo Redentor on deity? I swear that wonder feels like The Great Library from civ 5. I've seen it gone as early as 1400 AD. I guess they are using a special engineer to rush it, but I have no idea how the AI is getting that deep into the civics tree that early...

Sewers are really good if you're gunning for a culture vic since it's really demanding on tile real estate.

This was my experience with civ 5...king was too easy and emperor was too hard. I just kept plugging away at what worked, what didn't and then emperor became too easy and immortal was too hard. The games can be long yes, but the only thing I've run into that tests my patience were wonders and...

I guess I kinda sorta-ish figured out more or less what I was doing wrong - not building districts fast enough. I watched that video (thanks btw for linking it) and saw that I was just too slow with my opening. I didn't like housing caps and unimproved tiles so I would baby my first core...
