I am attacking a civ and capture the first city, I head to the second city and the first one revolts and attacks me with barbarians it has spawned. Is there a trick to attacking early. I have such few abilities and units this early. Or am I suppose to raze everything? except the capital.

If I select you were right to worry, it declares war. Then I get egregious war penalties. If I wait then I just get severe surprise war penalty. But it's not really a surprise if she's asking me is it? She is well aware of the possibility. It should be the same as denouncing first. The...

That figures. I ignored it. Then I seen a roaming barb builder, so I captured it. Then there was a French settler next to it and I couldn't resist it, so I DoW her the following turn. lol Then another settler, but a barb one this time and another barb worker. But they should change that...

I forgot to denounce Catherine De Medici before declaring war. I have plenty of time, so I decided to camp on her border for the 5 turns, then DoW with less penalty. Next turn after denounce, she says Do You think to intimidate us with force? etc. One of the options is, You were right to...

I am finding diplomacy is much more important in this game. It's better for spying as you get more info from better diplomacy, as well as, it is factored into tourism and help with a cultural victory. The CB was very helpful. After the AI ganging up on me and giving me a ton on WW causing...

I didn't have to denounce as both Norway and France already had me denounced. Everyone had me denounced. lol I don't make friends in this game. I trying to do it with my cultural victory as it is reliant on cooperation and open borders. I'm not used to this. But I'm finding it useful now...

I just had the same issue with Norway trying to take Jerusalem. I seen it happening and didn't do anything for several turns, then I seen a popup on the right-side about a casus belli I could use vs France (France jumped in on the bandwagon vs Jerusalem.) I then moved up my units with...

I couldn't find an answer. But I went ahead and did a Protectorate War against Norway. I was suzerain of Jerusalem and Norway and France were both at war with Jerusalem when I was at war with 4 other civs. I got a pop-up saying I could declare a Protectorate War against France, but France...

This still hasn't been fixed? This seems a minor fix to the game.

Yes, I know mods are problematic in MP. Sometime this is the issue and I am usually reminded to unsubscribe to all mods. But, even without any mods, it still does it, as mods will just not let me join at all.

I have been playing multiplayer with the Utopian Struggle mod, which speeds up the game a lot. Not very balanced yet, but it's better than very long gaming sessions. Is there any other kind of mods like this? I seen one for commerce, but I'd prefer one for all of the abilities if possible.

I have issues if I leave the MP game. I can't get back in without rebooting the computer. This happens when lobby isn't working and we need to restart the lobby. Sometimes someone has connection issues and they can't rejoin until we restart the game again. Maybe they just need to reboot...

I too was going to go back and load last save, then I thought I'd try quicksave. Then I noticed a resume last game and I didn't seem to lose anything. The game probably just used quicksave or something?

Regular game must mean no Workshop at all as everything else seems fine. FYI, Aztec are paid DLC and count as vanilla in game as there is an achievement for them: Montezuma's Revenge Win a regular game as Montezuma

Okay, I just finished my custom game and got 6 different win a regular game achievements. at settler difficulty or harder at chieftain difficulty or harder with a domination victory on any difficulty with any leader as Trajan on a huge map on the pangaea map In total I got 14 achievements. and...
