Had this happen in the latest HoF playing as Attila. I captured and razed Rome (OCC game), Caesar resettled Rome, and when I captured the last capitol (Shaka), was not given the win because Rome was still in control of their original capitol. Notice in the screen shot that Antium, not Rome...

So I have been kicking CV around lately since the Fall Patch took away my fun for early domination. I would like this thread to collect general strategies for CV at high level. Here is a list of things I am most interested in, but people should feel free to add anything I may have...

Since the Fall Patch has derailed my intention of recording a Domination LP, I decided to do this GOTM as my first LP. From my practice games, I learned that I suck at playing and talking at the same time, so this is an excellent way to get some practice at LP'ing, and record something that will...

This is a video I made in response to this thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=511536 Where the OP had what he felt was an unwinnable position. Rather than make a huge wall of text, I decided to make this video. It is 2 videos totaling ~2 hours of late game play from T285...

So I decided to check out how the fall patch really affected DV's and fired up an Immortal Venice game. wound up with a hammer heavy start and wonder whored for while before settling down to make gold and get to the info era. Totally forgot to open patronage early (went commerce instead) so...

With respect to the people who I am sure have put a lot of hard work into the new skin... It is horrible Any experienced web designer will tell you never ever use grey-scale backgrounds, and the even bigger sin is to use colored fonts on a grey-scale background. Really folks you even used...

So I am back to playing Immortal OCC in BNW. Is anyone doing this for VC's other than diplo? I've been playing so far with the Shoshone. His UA make for very good starts with OCC because you do not have to worry as much about the AI forward settling to grab 4ring luxuries. My games end up...

So the last three games I have played all had Greece in them. I have decided that he unbalances the game more than any other civ. In my last game I had put a spy in a CS early and had managed to accrue nearly 300 faction with him by modern era. It was the only CS not allied with Greece. The...

I am posting this here rather than the LP section so that people who do this type of thing but do not watch LP's will see it. I have had a few requests to make LP's, so after mucking around for many hours with CamStudio, I installed DXTory instead. DXTory makes recording so painless it makes...

Decided to play an Immortal domination game with Venice and got nice hill/river/coastal start with Shaka just past my closest CS, Attila just past him, and Askia to my South who is building towards me in the open space. A perfect start for a warmonger... I waited until the CS had a nice army...

Hehe :)

So I have been taking a break from my immortal OCC G&K cultural games. After doing my best Gandhi imitations, I feel the need to destroy the world. The idea of slogging through standard maps to a dom victory seems tiring, so I have been playing small Pangaea maps on immortal. Every...

I stopped playing Civ5 right when G&K came out. Recently I downloaded the expansion and I have become obsessed with OCC cultural victory on immortal. Is any one doing this? I would be interested in general strategies people use, i.e. tech path, civs etc. Recently I have been trying with...

I gave up on the honor tree when I moved past prince. Lately I have been back to trying to take the honor tree, and I just get dogpiled everytime. It seems the AI takes it as a super provocation. Has anyone had any success on immortal/deity with taking honor instead of liberty/tradition?

The purpose of this article is to discuss how to use RA's to meet strategic goals, and to put some myths about RA's to rest. This article is not concerned with general game strategy. My method here is simple, I set the auto-save to save each turn with 50 saves, then played out each viable...

First I would like to thank all the fine folks who post comments and write strats for the time and effort they give. Recently I decided to give the Chivalry in 80 strat a try since in some ways it seemed to match my play style of heading toward education. I have played out a 100 or so moves...
