I have played Kongo quite a bit in Immortal. Probably my favorite Civ for a no-war game throughout. Usually I’d go for a cultural win, but I have noticed Kongo tends to get quite easily ahead in science as well. For culture, there are a lot of wonders to be built. This should be particularly...

Indeed some tough choices. The campus on the jungle tile next to the fissure is a no-brainer. The current location would be good for Halicarnassus, but then the harbor has to go to the other side. The grass to the south would work too for Halicarnassus. But it loses the Fish tiles to the West...

I haven't played GotM for a while and wanted to start again. One of the reasons being I didn't have the New Frontier pass. Since you can now buy it at a discount I decided to give in. Since this month is on King level, I figured it might be a good one to start exploring all the new additions...

I’m usually playing on immortal level and for the longest time thought that Religious Settlements is by far the most coveted pantheon. You need to get lucky with religion early on to get it on Immortal level however. But it’s not impossible. Lately I have been playing with Kongo however, and it...

One thing I found these apostle useful for, before I discovered Mont St. Michel, is to send them exploring the world. They are not stopped by any borders. Found quite a few hidden goody huts this way.

My home country, Tthe 3 D's, how can I not participate! The faith yields seem to indicate a Natural Wonder nearby? Settling in place looks like a good spot, so maybe Rotterdam needs to be near the wonder. I have never played small continents. I think. So I guess the domination has to be across...

I had no experience with RV. And Immortal is not that easy for me anyway. So I decided a few dry-runs. I tried out a few games where the settler was near Stone and see if I could get Stonehenge, as I figured that would be the easiest path towards the required prophet. That turns out to give poor...

Religious Victory is possibly my least favorite. I find the religious battle dynamics too confusing. Since it's rare I have the spare time like I have now, I might try it. But most likely I'll just try to sweep all the AIs with cavalry and convert the last capital standing. No idea if that even...

SV turn 346. I love these GotM but I rarely have the time to finish one. Now, cooped up at home, I gave this one a go. I had a blast, with no real expectation to win at Deity. So while slow, I'll take the win. I settled 9 total cities. 7 fairly early, one late to get to the oil at the North...

Would you willing to share some details to a relative newbie? What were your armies composed of? Why starve the cities? Why delay taking a city? Maybe these are common knowledge?

But then the only way you're allowed to conquer cities is by bullying other civs until they give you their cities :lol:

I didn't play Civ for a while and decided to try this one for practice and then check in after 100 turns to see what I should have done to get to Education faster. But no posts yet from anyone faster, I'm kind of shocked. I settled in place, going straight for the Great Library and NC. As...

I can't make out a desert tile either. Maybe I'll have to load the start and see closer. Is it one of the mountains above? Moving the warrior north is a no-brainer. And then probably the settler south. There'd have to be something really fantastic to make me move away from the grain and sea...

I moved the warrior north but saw nothing to warrant moving the settler there. Moved settler one east for a peek (nothing) and pulled back to the south hill where I settled. Stole a worker from Pacal and Antwerp. I figured my strategy as follows: go liberty left side to spam cities and...

The Hussar comes rather late for fast victory. Then again, on Deity it may just be necessary to lay low until that time, building up culture. Unfortunately no cattle in sight. If we can get culture on pastures, plus the extra gold that would be awesome. The warrior needs to move first, but which...
