I like to micromanage my cities and have full control over what my citizens do. I know you can lock tiles so that the governor don't mess with them, however, it seems I'm only able to lock all but 1 tile. This creates problems because the governor will frequently reassign this tile in my...

I started a random fractal deity game and got Bismarck. The start showed some flood plains to the north so I sent the scout up there and found gold. I moved the settler and founded Berlin two turns laters. Here's a look at my save at 950 BC, my empire: To the north: As you can...

I'm playing a game with Frederick (normal/fractal/deity). I'm semi-isolated with Willem on a decent size island. I got copper auto-hooked up by river in bfc and seeing that it was just the two of us I figured I'd make a go at the GW which I got. Now a gpsy has been born and I'm undecided on how...

This is the second extreme deity challenge, the first can be found here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=312128 This time around we opted for a different setup. I've used a hemisphere map with 2 main continents. The player will start on a hemisphere with warmongers, the...

Where would you settle? Both in place and 1NE is tempting to me. The leader is Asoka. Map is Fractal, standard settings. I've marked relevant information (<- coast, fresh water): In place has 11 FPs which is -4 health which means it will be unhealthy at size 2 early on. It also only has 2...

I recently rolled up a funny start with Mansa Musa. There was a pig to the northwest so I move the warrior NE and.. What would you do? :)

I started a casual offline game but it turned out to be quite interesting. I've wrestled with the issue before but the challenge always seems insurmountable. I picked a random leader and got Pacal with an awesome start location. The only problem? I'm completely isolated. There is one spot where...

So I've got a new widescreen monitor and I can't get good graphics. I've been fiddling alot with the light settings but it's either too bright or too dark and there is not a good fow level that isn't too hard on the eyes (bright) when it comes to the visual terrain. I've successfully got a good...

Round 1, 4000 BC - 3640 BC (9 turns). Ok since I'm back on civfanatics and are not running any online games at the moment I've decided to have another go. Now some of you may remember that I have a less than perfect track record both in winning and completing the deity challenges I've posted...

As discussed in numerous posts. The gamebreaking issues once again: REF tied to bells (or, I believe, anything that can be exploited). Incompetent New World AI, particularly on defense from player aggressions. I look over the mods periodically but so far I'm not aware of any that resolve...

I've been playing some OCC games recently and it looks like I'm going to finish my first Emperor game soon. Since I can't recall seeing this kind of game in this forum I thought why not create an online challenge? As always with my online games I decided to up the challenge for me (and others)...

Round 1, 4000 BC - 1960 BC (51 turns). This is my 3rd attempt at getting a win at the deity level. The leader for this game is Isabella of Spain. Everyone is welcome to participate by giving tips, asking questions, make observations or shadow. The only thing I ask is that if you play a shadow...

This is a discussion thread for everyone interested in playing and experimenting with online games such as the cookbook series, the immortal university and deity challenge series. Good idea to move this to its own thread Dirk, I don't want to highjack an ongoing game either if it can be...

So I was fooling around with start gambits on deity when I came across this start, probably the best I've ever had. I wanted to share it with people in case they're in the same seat as me, doing fine on immortal and learning the ropes at deity, you can't ask for a much better opportunity than...

Round 0 (After settling). Round 1, 4000 BC - 2920 BC (27 turns). Round 2, 2920 BC - 875 BC (53 turns). Round 3, 875 BC - 25 BC (34 turns). Round 4, 25 BC - 600 AD (26 turns). Round 5, 600 AD - 1100 AD (30 turns). Round 6, 1100 AD - 1500 AD (40 turns, the end). I have a little spare time now so...

So many of us has discovered the easy exploit of keeping the REF small by not generating bells until the very end. Since REF is directly tied to bell generation only you actually get a very easy win by deleting almost all your citizens before the DOI so that you only need a few bells to get a...

.. or a field study in exploit pwnage of the King of Spain. After discussing some of the broken features with people in this forum and pondering how to exploit it I decided I might as well put it to the ultimate test and start a revolutionary game. The settings were me as Simon Bolivar of...

I recently started an offline game as Hatty. The settings are Immortal, Epic, Standard size map, 7 civs, custom continents. I appear to be alone with Shaka on a rather large continent (:eek:). I found stone just outside of Thebes and used it to get TGW and The Pyramids. My first GP was...
