I assure you that I didn't have it enabled in settings. It's a custom map script, so much like the earth 18 civs map where even if you disable tribal villages, they still show up, there was some hidden setting that I couldn't alter. I already passed the turn that it was counting down to and...

The games get better with expansions certainly. It's also very expensive at launch. Unless Civ VI gets rave reviews from the people that care about strategy rather than graphics, I'm not even going to buy it without the expansions. If it gets great reviews at launch, I'll buy it once it goes...

Hey everyone, I'm currently playing a game, taking screenshots, and posting chunks at a time. The map is a modified earth map with random start locations. The difficulty is Emperor, 14 civs at start, epic speed, no tech trading, no vassal states, domination victory only. I have been...

People always complain about stacks of doom, but they're so easy to combat. All you have to do is hit them with siege units or anything with collateral damage while they're on a tile with 25% defense or less. If you use 5 or so siege units, then anything else, it'll demolish the stack. If you...

Well... I'm in the same boat as you. It seems at this point in time that mac users have basically been screwed. Seems like multiplayer is just gone for mac users now.

I would like to say it's not all about winning. That was quite ending to an interesting game. It was nice to see a multi-player game that wasn't one giant free for all war :lol:

Could someone map a map of indonesia/ Northern Australia/Thailand/Vietnam?

first, take an expansive civ. second, connect every resource to every city for a health bonus from the resources traded between cities. for example on the earth map, if you control mainland Europe, you have enough health if you connect your cities.

it gives another option to the player. and by the way, i played the earth map earlier today as america and i found a route for crossing the oceans on a gally. settle the south east tip of greenland and get stone henge int he beginning since you are industrial. then since you braught 2...

he has a point, AI would not even bother to try. maybe we should take this as a peice of advice unless you think there might be a piece of land very close by. by the way, you can get from america to europe in the earth map by putting a city on the south east most tip of greenland and expanding...

yes, and by the way, i figured out a way to get from america to europe using gallies, but not the other way around. it only works one way, and involves getting a city on the bottom right tip of greenland with 5 culture. from there, you can go to iceland and settle there. then all it takes to...

going on the northern approach is only 2 turns if you have a city on Iceland. possibly 1 turn with a city on greenland that's a 1 in 4 - 1 in 8 chance only because the vikings did not settle Iceland did they? the only reason they made it across historically is because they took the northern...

maybe an 80 percent chance is fair. if you wanted to spend 2 turns crossing ocean, you would need an average of 25 galleys. and if you wanted to put down a settler, you would need to fill each gally with a settler and a mace/longbow/axe. that takes a lot of hammers to make all that, not to...

yeah, same here. they could enter ocean tiles, and at the end of the turn, there should be an 80-90 percent chance of the galley sinking. to account for some other ighly unlikely events. with this high chance of sinking, it could account for the vikings (excuse my historical incorrectness)...

speaking of nuclear guns, you reminded me that at one point they started to test snall scale nuclear weapons to be used on the field. it did not work. because the radiation from the weapon after it exploded went further than the person could go to escape the blast. so to sum it up, whoever...
