Dude you don't even know! I've got a 22 civ deity marathon game on a custom map which I've been playing off and on for the last 3 years. It's up to about 400 cities now. It takes: 2 hours to load the game (crashes about 50% of the time) 1 hour to capture a city 30 seconds to select a...

Thank you. I'm not sure what you did differently, but your save worked! Now I finally have 100% of the achievements. :king:

There's definitely more to it than this though. I've made a point of not touching land cities in all (~20) of my attempts now. :-/

Nope. Just tried logging out of My2K, disabling quick combat, disabling quick movement, and moving both cities to ocean tiles before conquering. Still nothing.

Any word on this? It's the only achievement I haven't unlocked and I'm desperate! Here are the other two threads that show up about this on Google: "Terror From the Deep" Achievement "Terror from the Deep" not unlocking The advice that seems to have worked for most people on those...

Update: Challenge save discussion thread started in GOTM forum here. Moved the thread to Strategy and Tips. Doesn't really belong in the GOTM forum. The posted link above still works to get to the thread.

Hey guys, I used to play these a lot more, but I got a job and a girlfriend and stuff and had to take a big long break. ;( Fortunately I quit that job, broke up with my girlfriend, and now I can do whatever I want, so... Yay Civ! My first order of business was to finish up this monstrosity...

Overview: Background Info: •I've played this game for thousands of hours and find myself drawn primarily towards huge marathon deity domination games. As such, this map was designed from the ground up to make such world conquering more enjoyable. After more than 100 hours of work...

I can't help but think of this every time salt gets banned (NSFW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqWTo4u5cAI lol, sorry! ;P

I finally got it! Settings used: Civilization: Russia Difficulty: Immortal Map: Continents Size: Huge Pace: Standard Custom Settings: None Played a 4 city liberty start. Rolled over Askia early on which pissed off Washington, Sejong, and Harald. They all declared on me at once and I...

What pace are you guys playing your games at? I suspect the quick pace may be what's hurting me since the AIs don't have time to grow their empires. From your stories it always seems to be the large/runaway empires that switch.

Domination victory condition was set, but I digress... Today's efforts were in a completely vanilla game. I didn't even go to the advanced options screen: Civilization: Shoshone Difficulty: Prince Map: Continents Size: Huge Pace: Quick Custom Settings: None Cultural victory screenshot...

I've never seen it happen in the course of regular gameplay either, hence all of my attempts at creating games where it's more likely to happen. The only thing I haven't tried yet is sucking on purpose. Perhaps if I allow myself to get beaten to all the wonders and not culturally influence the...

This is getting just plain stupid: The AI NEVER switches no matter what I try! I've probably spent over 100 hours on this achievement now with nothing to show for it. It seems like every single leader is content to just let his/her people sit at absurdly negative happiness forever... I've...

Agreed! They're all a bunch of psychopathic back-stabbing grumps! The only way to appease them is to play incredibly poorly.

My latest attempt: From what Talcove said earlier about them losing three cities to revolts before flipping I decided to let the AI expand significantly so they'd have a wide empire with lots of cities and population to make them super angry. I picked a huge map with only 4 AI's, one of...

In case you haven't seen it, this is for the BNW Steam Achievement: "Tear Down this Wall!" which requires you to "Force an AI player with the Order Ideology to switch to Freedom." ---- I've spent a couple of days now trying to get this achievement, and it's driving me crazy! Here's how it...

Thanks! :) Nightmare? Did you play Quake 3 or something? :P I guess I'd forgotten about the dynamite great wall obsolescence. I've always noticed that it stops working in the late game, but never quite pinned down when that happened. I don't recall exactly. 12 I think. I was...

Having just returned to Civ V I found this to be quite a brutal game. First of all, I really dislike non-river starts, all the more so when they're on tundra! I mean honestly, we're starting all the way up in friggin' Siberia here... On deity mode! :P The ruins were reasonable at least...

You guys are going about it all wrong! Here's a hint: ;)
