Looking through it in my last game, it looked like the following was happening: - Domestic tourists: Related to total culture produced in some way. How so was unclear, but taking cities from a Civ doesn't impact it immediately, though it can go down over time suggesting that the value is...

Right now, outside of Civics, the whole culture system is lacking clarity and transparency. Culture goes to border growth... game doesn't tell us how or give any feedback about it. Culture and tourism go into tourists (domestic and international) for the culture victory... game doesn't tell us...

Seems kind of odd to have the whole casus belli system, then leave one of the more solid uses for it collecting dust on the shelf. Why not allow some use to these broken promises apart from hurt feelings? I don't know, just seems odd that breaking a promise doesn't give a casus belli...

Looking through Civilizations.xml, due to the discussions about Genoa turning up in it, there are a few interesting things that stand out. Of them, this one sticks out: <CivilizationLevels> <Row CivilizationLevelType="CIVILIZATION_LEVEL_TRIBE" CanFoundCities="false"...

One thing that is quite interesting about the choices of leaders in Civilization VI is that they, unlike in Civ V, have the leaders capital, rather than one given for the whole civilisation. Consider what we've seen: Greece: - Pericles: Athens - Gorgo: Sparta Russia: - Peter the Great: St...

Whilst in recent months it had become apparent that they had added new city states, it wasn't until now with most of them now seen that it was clear how many had been added, and what exactly had been done. After today's featurette we have a clear picture of the city states, and very few remain...

So, after today's videos we know that Brave New World has the following returning City States: Geneva Monaco Wittenberg Jerusalem Prague Belgrade La Venta Zanzibar Cahokia Antwerp Brussels Cape Town Lhasa Milan Ragusa Hong Kong Yerevan Sydney Hanoi Sidon Quebec City Kuala Lumpur Vatican City...

Can people please let me hind in a corner... ...it appears it is not Ragusa's colour-type combination that has been replaced (MINOR_MIDDLE_CYAN), but rather, Venice's (MINOR_CYAN). I thank TheKingOfBigOz for bringing this to my attention, but I feel kind of stupid for not realising this...

I thought this really should be put as one contiguous piece rather than lots of little points here and there. To start the analysis of the city state colour-type combinations again from the beginning, I thought it might be good to look at how they changed throughout the game so far. Below is the...

From what we've seen so far, the following new city states are in: Bratislava - Cultural Ur - Maritime Riga - Maritime Sofia - Militaristic Panama City - Maritime Mbanza-Kongo - Unknown, not Maritime Whilst the following are still in the game: Monaco - Cultural Wittenburg - Religious Zanzibar...

With no DLC now a full 179 days after the release of Gods & Kings it seems more than likely that either Civ V has come to it's end or that a new expansion is on the horizon. The previous time that such a gap existed with no movement was between the release of the final DLC and the announcement...

Religion, Espionage and a whole host of things requested on here are in it too... Is everyone satisfied now that the DLC model was a good thing, or are we still all disappointed. Also, as a side note: And a bit earlier: Overall, I'm satisfied that they have listened and are now...

It all started in Moscow, in the middle the mighty Russian desert plains. For many years it seemed as though the Russians were alone in the World, except for a small group of barbarians who lived in the shadow on the loan mountain in the middle of the plains. To the west there was a small patch...

So, after several attempts at a peaceful game with the potential of a cultural victory I finally decided enough was enough and went with India. To my North, a mere 5 tiles away was a city state, 8 to my west was Egypt and my good friend Genghis was to East. I had a good feeling about this...

A background to what happened: I started out as the Ottomans on this little bay, full of hope and joy for the future of my civilization. Unlike my previous game I was hoping to have a peaceful game and go for a Science or Culture victory. Whilst I didn't think using the Ottoman's for culture...

So, here's what happened. I started on a continent which had 5 city states, Russia and Rome. There was a land bridge (about 10 tiles from my capital) on the other side of a city state to the rest of the world, but I didn't notice until around 800-1000AD. Anyhow, Russia did bugger all, didn't...

After initially having reservations about the idea it seems that they've really nailed it with the DLC model for Civ V. Why would I say this? Because unlike in previous games more minor things like maps and civilizations can be added with the option then to the user to buy it. Of course things...

...and in the middle of their army massed in the great desert of Essen, a barbarian encampment with a lone warrior spawned... Am I the only one who sees this kind of situation as slightly odd? It's the 50s, I have full control of the region, there is a mere one or two tiles that for a single...

I've never quite gotten why they included the Diplomatic victory in the form it is now. I guess it was a way of justifying the importance of the City States, however the effect they have the on the game is important even before this victory condition is taken into account. The bonuses they give...

This first part in the spoiler is the backstory to what was happening, if you're interested. Ghandi and I decided to form an Axis of Evil against Issy! He asked for 10 turns... So I spent the time getting together an army of some 10 Skii infantry, 5 cannons, 5 frigates and about 5...
