Domination victory on turn 120 Rules : No culture items or city trading + no joint wars Reloads : Since the Nubia patch on Mac OS the game bugs a lot and crashes once in a while. I had to reload a bit over 10 times I think. Since I save a few times each turn I always managed to replay exactly...

Hi, Could you update question 1 with G&K please ? In my case I brought Civ V for PC when it was released. Got the Mac a few month later and downloaded the OSX version from Steams, it works just fine. Can I buy the PC version of G&K and again download the Mac update from steam ? In that case do...

Embarked units are affected by land units zone of control.

Could be yes. Thanks ;)

Glad I was helpful Mazer ;) @ Quizman That's a way of looking at things, he's another one. It seems to me that you are analyzing the game as if it was a long land game. Sea conquest victory is quite different. Considering that the game is supposed to end with Navigation there is barely time...

@ ElWanderer Bombard German units, should be easy and good experience for your SotL. Once you have cleared a bunch he should be much more generous with the peace offer. In my first game he was asking for my gold at first. Once I had eradicated most of his units he offered me everything plus 3...

I found DaveMcW's video a great learning experience. Next time could you add some comments in it describing what you are doing and why ? Maybe also a general comment on the forum ? For example it's only from reading Tabarnak's comment that I understand the strange scout dance ! I also wondered...

Yes, got to start early. I declared war on Sulleiman around turn 85. For anyone interested, here's the tricks I know to gain experience quickly with ships. When exploring and a ship has up to 3 movement points left, try to shoot at a barbarian. That's 2 points almost free. They should be...

Win on turn 185. Paris, Persepolis and Paris were the last civ. As soon as I upgraded to SotL I made two fleets of four upgraded ships. The third fleet came later as I produces and bought new ships. Since I would not have time to train them I built barracks first so they would have and instant...

Got bored with my game since I realized I made two bad choices so I reloaded an early save. First I went chasing Ruins too far away. Lacking melee units to soak the shots from city and garrisoned archer I had to delay my attack on Sulleiman. Second I thought Range and Indirect Fire promotions...

I went for Range & Indirect Fire but eventually realized Logistics —and Supply— later was much more powerful though a bit tougher to gain. After I finish I'll restart from an early save to try it.

No city razing : You know that one ;) Complete kills : Just means that a civ without any cities is still active in diplomacy while it has units left. Note that even if a civ is completely wiped out it can still be brought back by liberating one of their former cities. So you just have to...

Too small yes. Did you get Hanging Gardens ?

Turn 165 update. So I had regrouped my 8 Triremes and declared war on Sulleiman around turn 130. I trained them for a while on his second city because I will need range promotion for Istanbul later. Ended up having to take his third city also for more firing tiles on the capital. Meanwhile my...

By the time the Granary is built I have annexed the Deer tile so it ends up the same. City on plains = 2 food + 1 hammer + 1 gold Mined Gold = 3 hammer + 2 gold Total = 2 food + 4 hammer + 3 gold City on Gold = 2 food + 2 hammer + 2 gold Farmed Gold (with CS) = 3 food + 1 hammer + 1 gold Total...

I almost never played on archipelago so I'm gonna try a strat, hope it works out fine. My objective is to win with a massive fleet of Ships of the Line and one Pikeman to capture the cities. As all capitals will be coastal it seems likely that the AIs will try to build the sea wonders first...

:lol:

I'm still thinking on how to play the game and wondering if there is a trick to make a puppet build a harbor ?
