They talk about a nuclear exchange in the Asian subcontinent during the PAX panel iirc. I'm pretty sure it's a reference to Gandhi nuking people.

I like city states, but it's just the same issue as 1-UPT, the AI is terrible at dealing with them. They do an awful job at competing for their favors and prefer to hoard their gold for some reason.

National wonders are restricted to one per nation. World wonders are restricted to one per world. Planetary wonders are restricted to... ? :D

I won't address the OP since it's obvious for anyone who played BNW that this guy has no clue about the game. Imo there are two main issues to Civ 5 BNW at the moment, which could be summed up by: 1° The AI is too dumb to compete against humain beings and the only way to make things harder...

Is this what happens when the same surface is facing the sun all the time?

We're already monsters from the point of view of pretty much every other race on the planet, and as well as our own. How did every genocide victim ever feel about their executioners? All we need to become space monsters is getting into space. Once we're there we get to chose which kind of...

If you feel like you're cheating and it hinders your sense of accomplishment (and your enjoyment), then you're cheating.

If for some reason you decide to go really wide, Exploration might be better, and it's pretty fun to play too. But the usual way to win a CV is by having a tall empire, putting most of the tourism in your capital, and building a fast National Visitor Center in it. Aesthetics is way better for this.

As a rule of thumb, if the city you just conquered doesn't have a luxury you don't already possess, raze it/give it away. You only need to take capitols to get a Domination Victory, and Civ 5 doesn't favor huge empires nearly as much as the previous versions of the game. If you really want to go...

In lower difficulty settings I think the easiest way is to go for a 2 city tradition build, using your second city to secure a horse site. Going tradition on King should secure you the Great Library without crippling your opening too much, which you can use to bulb Philosophy and get a really...

5 fully upgraded Keshiks (Logistics, March, and the +range thingy) can utterly destroy empires up to the Industrial Age like nobody's business (the AI has absolutely no clue on how to deal with hit & run). If you haven't won (or gotten ridiculously ahead) by the time they become obsolete then...

Oooh clever, i didn't even realize there was a GG bonus in influence driven wars. I'll definitely try it out.

Hello ! I have discovered Legends of Revolution(s ?) a couple weeks ago and i'm really thrilled by all the depth it adds to the game. I always favored Terra-like maps where there is plenty of unoccupied land just waiting to be colonized, and this mod really changes the dynamics for this kind of...

Take a look at the mod Legends of Revolution for Civ4 BtS. When a barb city hits size 2 or 3 (i don't remember), it can become a "minor" civilization which is at war with everyone until it discovers alphabet and meets two other civs, at witch point it works like a regular civ who's really...

Wait a month or two.

I'm not good enough nor have i the time to try this atm, so i'll just spectate the thread and ask a couple questions. How do you guys play a Terra map on Deity, compared to, say, Pangaea ? I find that on lesser difficulty levels (up to Emperor), it's quite easy to beat the AIs to astronomy, to...

Have you guys tried this kind of game with the mod Legends of Revolution ? The Empire stability concept makes it really more challenging and realistic.

Anyway, GLH rush gives you a nice expansion potential as long as you keep building em cities on the coast. I feel like beelining Astronomy once you get Currency and Calendar. But then, it depends a lot on the map, on lvl difficulty, on your initial position, on religious blocks and so. Code of...

I did a game like that a couple months ago. Great Lighthouse + Astronomy rush, then proceed on colonizing all of the American coast. Cities should pay for themselves as you found them, and become really juicy once you chop a tribunal. You might want to transfer your capital to the new continent...

Huayna Capac. Settle on a hill plain, spam quechuas, rape AIs. Dont bother getting a single worker/colon till you burned 4/5 of them to the ground, even more if you play on easy difficulty lvls with low upkeep.
