    World's Fair + Consulates trivializes the culture aspect of the game.

    We all know that the player will almost always be able to make a proposal when the Wold Congress is first founded (even on Deity) just because they're player 1 so even if they don't hit Printing Press first as long as no one builds a super early Forbidden Palace or something then you can usually...

    So what does a Deity Petra tech order look like?

    I've basically never bothered to get Petra because I only play on Deity and just kind of assumed that it wasn't really possible (don't ask why). Now I'm suddenly rolling some decent Petra starts and I have no idea what a rough tech order would look like. Is it just Luxury techs + Writing into...

    Shoshone Overview- Aimed at Deity Pangea play

    This opener has been tested purely at Deity on Pangea maps. It will not work nearly as well on lower difficulties since I imagine that you'll struggle to find suitable trading partners early on in the game. The basic jist of the strategy is to abuse Shoshone's ability to generate ludicrous sums...

    Citadels; the key to never losing.

    As you read the following, keep 2 things in mind: 1) Computers will never pillage Citadels, 2) Computers will never actively avoid a Citadel. Since there doesn't seem to be much discussion on the subject, I wanted to highlight the fact that computers cannot beat a Citadel. The AI will almost...

    Multiplayer Strategy: CB + Horsemen opener.

    Introduction The underlying theory of this strategy is that Composite Bowmen (CB) are overpowered given the way the game is played online. Well, that's simplifying it a bit too much, but that's the gist of why this strategy works. Since multiplayer games involve simultaneous turns, you need to...

    In-Depth Guide: Mayan/Arabian ICS strategy.

    Introduction Having played a lot of infinite city spawn (ICS) games in G&K, and not having seen much discussion of it going on, I thought that it might help to provide an overview on how to best tackle it. The two best ICS civs in the game, in my opinion, are the Mayans and the Arabians. While...

    Warmongering with Mongols.

    So I'm on those people who likes to win by not losing in any game that he plays, which is why I basically always go for some science victory by turtling with civ like Ethiopia or Babylon or something. You know, the dude who happily plays the pocket healer and/or support role. Anyways, I'd like...

    Are there are good streams/VODs/youtube videos out there?

    I'm looking for gameplay of "veteran" players playing on a very high difficulty, but it seems impossible to find any. I don't really care about the map size, settings, race, etc. since I'm mostly just looking to see if there are any obvious tips and tricks that I'm missing out on. Anything with...
