I'm still refining my early game, but the one thing I still haven't figured out is what to spend my early money on. I mean, obviously you need the money early to upgrade a few slingers to archers, or maybe if barbs or a neighbour declares on you early and you need to rush a...

One thing that's bugged me for multiple civ games is how easy opponents will roll over for you. Especially in 6, cities are almost fully usable once you capture them, and become essentially fully yours when you sign a peace deal. Always feels to me that it should be much longer before you get a...

To me, the most "useless" district has to be the entertainment complex. I've basically never run out of amenities until I start putting up neighbourhoods in cities, so I don't think I've ever built an EC until that point. Which defeats the purpose of them being available starting in the classic...

I got in some good playing over the weekend, but still a lot to learn from the game. I'm just trying to figure out what are people's thoughts about "useless" cities, meaning cities which don't inherrently give you anything for your empire. So I know in civ 4, if the city had at least one high...

Seeing the new patch notes increase the min distance between cities to 3, I figured it was a good time to re-put this idea out there. I've mentioned this idea in other threads, but can't find them now. So, in civ5, the limiter to settling is happiness (sort of). And I know everyone hates...

After reading Sulla's "New Civ" tech ideas, and thinking back to other threads I've seen on here, I've started to ponder about how to "fix" the tech tree, to make it more realistic and more strategic. So, here's my idea: 2 tech trees. Let me clarify. Through history, we never researched...

Seems like the general strategy, NC or expand, always starts with either a warrior or a scout first, followed usually by a worker. So, what influences you decision either way? Scouts are obviously better for looking around, with the double movement on hills and forests. But they're weak...

So, what's the most pathetic invasion force you've had to fight off from a neighbour. Not counting when playing on earth as the French, and the Chinese random declare on you. I mean, borders touching, war declaration by a neighbour after going into WHEOOHN, how pathetic did they take you for...

Last night I got to playing around with some python, trying to edit some map scripts, and since I'm a developer by day, figured it could be interesting to try out actually making my own map (and as most projects I think of go, run into some troubles, and develop a newfound respect for people who...

I recently got BtS, and haven't really read up much about espionage. My first real game, I didn't end up doing too much with espionage, since I was just getting used to it. So, my first question, are there any ramifications of espionage? I think I was playing early on like how stealing...

So, after not playing for a while, I just recently got back to wanting to play a new Civ game, so I decided to start a BtS game recently. After a bunch of games where I either decided after the fact I didn't like the leader I picked, or ended up in a bad location (how do I play on a long...
