    Did the game get easier?

    I last played around the release of BNW. I used to win pretty consistantly on Emperor, but struggled with Immortal. Today I reinstalled ciV and started a game on Emperor. It felt really easy. The AI didn't spam cities all over the place, the big expander of the game was Greece who built a...

    It all goes to pot when I reach the renaissance

    I'm trying (and failing) to beat the game on Immortal. My early game and through the middle ages is good. I keep up with the other AI tech wise, found 5-6 core cities, grow them all to populations of 8-10, maybe puppet a city or two or else just weed the garden by razing AI cities. All my...

    Batty Diplomacy

    I can't make head nor tails of what is going on in my latest game regarding the diplomacy. I ran into England around turn 20 and they denounce me the very next turn :sad: I started the game pushed right up against The Huns, who have built two cities to match my own two. They DOW me and I...

    Playing a Scenario in Hotseat (for a GMR game)

    I'm looking into setting up a GMR game, playing the 'into the renaissance' scenario. There doesn't seem to be any obvious way to set up a game this way in Hotseat however. I know scenarios can be played with GMR, but I need a little help in where to look to get started. Moved to MP, because...
