For some reason no one wants to play Poland, which is a shame because they're actually super fun. Anyway, here's my tips. Expect restarts! 600 AD specifically. UHV 1 - The actual challenge and the most luck dependent. Starting turn: First of all your three cities are almost definitely going to...

AdvCiv has a global warming module which I think is amazing. I'll run it down briefly, (though just check the manual: https://github.com/f1rpo/AdvCiv/raw/master/manual.pdf): - Every civ produces an arbitrary pollution value, based sick faces from population, buildings, power and apparently...

This is a thread to suggest some visionary wonders, that being wonders that were planned by historic societies but never constructed for whatever reason. --- Volkshalle Requires Totalitarianism and Secularism Whipping gives Great Person points in the city Volkshalle was built in. +6 Great...

With some discussion on African civs in the new map here are some of my proposals for India in the new map: --- Mughals - Make spawn semi-conditional like the Ottomans, requiring the Turks to take at least one city in the Indian subcontinent. Make Turks have units spawn in India. --- Add...

I've found that the science UHVs are often the hardest for me to get. Whether it's the Chinese getting beat to Compass by a runaway Byzantium, the Japanese dealing with Britain two eras ahead, or even the English struggling to grab Logistics against France and the Netherlands, science is often...

https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/arabia-how-the-hell.651921/#post-15598808 Made this thread a while ago but I've nailed down the strategy to consistent at beating the Arabs UHV. This guide describes how to beat the Arabs UHV without cheesing the Turks! It's an easy UHV if you cheese the...

Any tips on the Netherlands UHV? I'm still working on it and I honestly don't have anything that I think is particularly smart. I pretty much fail every UHV every try.

I made this post first here but I decided to do some thinking again, especially as we move closer to the new map. Because we're moving to the new map things like starting unit spawns, starting cities and starting areas will all need to be redone. This means that the "operating area" of civs will...

Let me preface this by saying by no means is the verdict out. The modern scholarly topic focuses on the "Great Divergence", where Europe jumped ahead and became masters of the world, and is only slowly being rectified today. What I want to first discuss is the causes of the great divergence...

With the new map planned for 1.17 and an overhaul including the ability to add a greater number of civilisations, here are some proposals I have regarding Africa, to make it both a bit more dynamic and interesting for people to play in and with. This first post concerns East Africa, including...

So I've been replaying China on the current version but I cannot seem to get compass in any good time. By 500AD or so I've got all my base cities set up and the income is positive and tech rate is decent, but I'm still behind in actual tech numbers. And yet consistently in about 3/4 games in a...

If you'd pardon the wordy title, with the new map coming out I think there's some room for some more dynamism in terms of how certain civs are created, rather than just a set date spawn, they could have a date range and more conditional/dynamic scripts, kind of like Byzantium and Rome. For...

Regent difficulty, normal speed. How the hell do you do Arabia now? The Seljuk spawn is just atrocious, you'll spend 200 years whacking Seljuk Keshik and Lancers while you barely have a few Ghazis, and by the time you either kill them off or they collapse it's 1200AD and all you have is...

Completed my first double UHV: starting as Persia, win a UHV, then switch to Portugal in 1130 (just before the Mongol invasion, lol), then win a UHV as Portugal too. Here's a quick compilation of the end-game(s) results. I wonder what the most realistic multi-UHV game would be? Perhaps...

What the title says. So, here's the typical spawn: Flip between 2-5 cities (guaranteed: Samarkand, Dukkhan. possible: Merv, Tashknet, Turung Tepe, possibly some others I'm missing). Start with 6 Oghuz and perhaps a few horse archers/archers depending on your flip wrt. barbarians/Persian units...

Like most people here I enjoy playing for the UHVs. They make for unique and interesting gameplay that is not found in any other Civ game or any other strategy game in general. Nonetheless, out of the many varied UHV types there are some that are more appealing and interesting... and some that...

So the Canada second UHV in theory seems relatively simple: spam espionage buildings including the Royal Constabulary, station a stack of spies in St John (and any other French/British/Swedish cities in Canada), and spam spread culture until you're culturally dominant over the cities and they'll...

https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/viking-historical-victory-guide.563404/ Fresol wrote an excellent Vikings UHV guide (3! years ago), but I enjoy the Viking UHV so much that I thought I'd write up a little guide myself to help anyone who found his guide to be not specific enough. Also, his...

Can someone have a look at my scenario and see what might possibly be crashing it? I can't think of what it is that makes it break before you even load in game. http://www.mediafire.com/download/z5vvnm9m7s3l836/The+World+1895.rar Colonialist Legacies Civs (Mexico and the Boers)...
