I think I've figured it out: A capped vassal asking you to stop trading with his master. Not realistic (should result in the master going to war against their vassal again, if you think about it. The vassal is trying to organize an embargo against him!), and there is no meaningful choice thanks...

Just played a game where it made perfect sense to go privateers into State property (marathon snaky continents, libbing chemistry; I had 90 privateers at peak and no one had education or gunpowder, let alone chemistry). But then I got a random engineer, and decided to go Free Market instead...

Just had a city settle on a plains hill fur tile that had the "great beast" happen on it. I normally wouldn't like to settle on such a tile, as it is a decent tile to throw away under a city, but not settling on it would kill a fish. Or so I thought. When I settled on the city, it gave me 3...

I assume this must be a glitch, but I have a spy with a 50% reduction for waiting 5 turns ready to go in an opposition city, and my success rate is showing as 91%. When I move another of my own spies in, the success rate drops to 76%. Is this intentional for some unknown reason? Has anyone else...

Title of thread says it all.

How many top players do this practice (hand over gpt to trade it for resources to then cancel the gpt after 10 turns so AI gives you lots of gold)? I definitely trade resources for gpt, but I never subsidize. Do top players feel this is cheating, or am I just making upper level difficulties...

I played the earth scenario on deity as rome. I won the game handily, as I crushed the germans in the furst 10 turns (on scenarios they do not get the extra settlers and units due to them on deity, and for some reason the germans left their capital unguarded... I only intially entered his...

Back to back terrorist incidents in Canada this week. I am just lucky I didn't have class today;I go to the University of Ottawa, right in the middle of the downtown-lockdown. I just hope that they get caught quickly; as of this time, one of the gunmen is dead, and the other is believed to...

I've never experienced this one before. The odds calculator is obviously giving me a bogus result. Ghandi's Frigate, on same tile as Qin's frigate (I'm at war with ghandi, not at war with Qin as can be seen on the far right of screen) is injured by airships for 20%: My frigate is at full...

What is the highest possible number of trade routes a city can have? Will post answer after a couple of guesses, though I assume someone will get it before that is necessary...

I just totally had one. I saw 4 furs and I was like, "Well, this is a crappy tundra start..." when I realized that all the furs were actually forested plains, as was a deer, and I actually had hunting. I had 2 crabs and no fishing which wasn\t so great, but all in all, I had 4 food resources...

Civnoobie's immortal win/guru post has pushed me to finally try cracking deity (outside of 1 AP cheese and 1 duel cheese that I've already won). I am a maranoob, so that's how I'm going to play this game too. Which also means Huge map. Hopefully this doesn't turn off any potential would-be...

I got it twice in 3 turns, giving the AI a free 40% of Flight IIRC....

I passed the "build X colosseums" quest, by conquering 3 of my neighbours. Number of colosseums actually built: 0. Unfortunately, this has the downside of number of colosseums affected by this quest: 0 :( EDIT: Actually, nevermind, they are affected. I thought cities not actually founded by...

This is far from conclusive, but in the latest game I'm playing, the price of peace has gone UP when I've destroyed a vassals units. Before killing a caravel, 395, after killing his vassal's caravel, 410? In another case in the same game, I wiped his vassal's stack, and while I lost some units...

Canada day! Please use the off-topic forum (http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=18) for non-Civ related discussion.

Iplayed a shuffle map game, and ended up in a continents on the smaller continent (4 v 7). I thought things were going pretty well, as I was purposely aggressively trading to drive us past them, and drove a war-bribe wedge between the two most advanced AI on my continent to make sure I'd be in...

I am playing an emperor game, and almost every AI was on my conitnent, with one poor isolated AI. As such sea faring was not important to me so I teched the requisite techs very late (at sci meth time, for other things; oddly, no one else had it, so it was a weak trade bait too). However, after...

I somehow lost a wonder race when I had 1 turn left. I thought that never happens vs the AI (?). I chopped out a wonder, it says 1 turn to go, and then another AI gets it! What the hell?

I own 35% 45%! of the world, and am winning another war against a rival, when an apostolic resident vote comes up. I have strained relations with the other 2 world superpowers (one beginning ot runaway tech-wise, the other with 1 crushed vassal and two civs who periodically peace vassal to him)...
