I haven't played the game for around half a year, until I started on a low-level Game of the Month a few days ago. Coming back to the game has been strange, but as usual it hooks me in. I'm honestly not very comfortable at Deity, and usually don't find all that much fun due to the few options...

Rolled another Fractal map with all random leaders. With Raging Barbs. "Please not Toku". Toku. Hit me again. Willem. Gah, that guy is kinda cheesy strong. Hit me again. Toku. You win :lol:

Rolled a totally random Fractal map with Unrestricted Leaders, because I wanted to try something a little different. First got Charlemagne of the Greek, which I didn't much care for (I really don't like Charlemagne). Went back and re-launched with same settings, and this map popped up, with...

Why is this forum now filled with threads about mods and modding related queries? There is an entire (sub) forum fit for the purpose.

Can't recall this having ever happened before (possibly extremely rarely), but the game actually crashed on me. Thankfully it was while playing the BOTM 194 Lockdown game, whose deadline passed long ago, so it's not as serious as if it was an active game. But it does make me concerned about it...

This has me really confused now. Tried to search, but only found some threads of loose relevance from 2009 and 2010, so here is a new one. First off: Spawn-busting is the form of dark arts that is well-known by now, thanks to the work of the legendary DanF-something (he doesn't show up with...

Playing a new game, and got thinking about this thread while making an early dotmap. Like always these things are temporary and where I actually settle will depend a good deal on what else I find nearby, and of course what the AIs do. But it should serve as an example. All of these cities...

Something strange I observed during a game I played. De Gaulle was badly losing the culture was in a terribly settled recent city, and a worker got into a sticky situation. "Lads, some Open Borders would really help a guy out here. I know we're at war with Mali and India can't stand us either...

May as well start a diary of these :cry: So, err, what do you do when next to a normally peaceful neighbour and... Notice the lovely fist and date: Well, hello there. You want to meet our blacksmith I assume? He can only make clubs and bows. You want to tutor him, perhaps? :hmm::please:

...or Hannibal deity map :-/ Got bored with the game I was playing as I was just going through the motions, so figured I'd try my hand at deity again, although I'm not at all comfortable there. Sorry for the luscious start, it was the third map I rolled, and I'm not going to take on those vast...

The Nobles' Club series started out as a way for Noble-level (and below) players to improve their game. Most of the original participants now play at much higher levels, so this has become a way for advanced players to help others learn to play better. You can play your own game at any level...

Perhaps I am imagining things, but I seem to recall that last time I was active here about a year ago, there turned up information about how to turn normal saves into saves that could be loaded when using the BUFFY mod. Do anybody remember this? Is it possible? The reason I ask is that I only...

Can you help me figure out how much :gold: Mansa has? I know there is a formula floating around somewhere, but don't recall where it was, and the search function isn't exactly great. Mansa just has the one city, and this is on Marathon speed. Not sure if this matters, but: * We have trade...

Had no idea this was possible :confused: Never seen it before. Rainforest map.

I've played a few games lately, without finishing them. It can be a slog to actually complete games that you pretty much know you will win, you just need to do the work with wars and such. So I started another totally random Immortal Fractal game. Leader popped up as Willem, the leader I used as...

Rolled a totally random Fractal map, on Immortal (no huts/events). Ended up with Montezuma, that lovely little fella, in a decent enough spot. The game ended up being pretty interesting in an unusual way. Another AI that I had then decided to rush to get out of the general area, was teching...

I was bored out of my skull today, the other games I've been playing are too far advanced, and I like the early game best. Therefore I started a new one, completely random (but on Fractal-Immortal). Sitting Bull popped up, with what doesn't look like a stellar start, but it basically is...

Playing a game where I was all set on going to space, using State Property. Then a low-chance GE pops up, and I may need to change all the plans. However, what is best? Has there been any kind of comparison, if such a thing is possible? We kind of need to start down the relevant path pretty...

I see Civ 6 has been announced. Considering I gave up on 5 very soon, it was a bit gunk really, and most from 5 seems to be continued in 6, like 1upt (give or take), can't say my pulse rose by a single beat when I learned about Civ 6 and its features. But what do you guys reckon, could it...
