What are the best wonders for each victory type, as in ones I can realistically beeline the tech toward and hope for the best, even if it is a 50/50 on losing out? I initially made this thread specifically for the Culture victory in mind, but thought we should also compile a list of the...

I was never a massive gamer growing up, so I had never even heard of Civilization until I saw some guy named "Johnny Superbman" Let's Play Civ 5 as Rome on YouTube. It looked so exciting so I immediately started playing it and I've been a CivFanatic ever since. The question in the poll is...

I was thinking about how much I love the water game and water civs in general. But I also thought about how underwhelming it is, at least in comparison to land warfare. The devs can patch all they want and improve AI all they want, but it will never be as stimulating as land. So I was...

If you could combine two UA's into one, which two would they be? Achaemenid Legacy & Carnival: Longer golden ages for your Carnival tourism Wayfinding & Spice Islanders: Settle those resource immediately = insane gold early on Sun Never Sets & Barbary Corsairs: Ridiculously unstoppable navy...

"Johnny Superbman" from 2BCProductions2BC (made a typo in title, that's how it is spelled) is starting a new Let's Play for Brave New World. He created a set-up video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJVwpAzgRao He specializes in an interactive brand of LPing where the audience (usually)...

We all see this question get asked a lot: What Civ should I pursue for what victory type? Well, I decided to find out. I used a points-based system in determining each Civilization's strengths and weaknesses. Basically, I took a look at the UA, UU, and other Unique of the Civ and gave points...

I've seen a lot of people write off Piety, but I firmly believe it's just as viable a SP tree to open with even before Tradition, Liberty or Honor. I think because of the variables involved, people are turned off by it. But you shouldn't be. The benefits are not written out for you in an obvious...

Two questions: 1. Hypothetically speaking, if every single leader in Civ 6 had to be female, which ones would be the best for each Civilization? (And why?) Please feel free to include Civs not yet represented. And please just choose the leaders you have knowledge about, even if that means a...

I should probably wait for everybody to play the game first, but I'm too excited and want to get this discussion started now: Whether fair or not, civs with similar benefits get compared. We've seen it with Korea and Babylon (and likely Assyria will join that mix) and we'll soon see it with the...

The basketball and football have offseason threads, so I figured we needed one for hockey. The first topic at hand is the obvious up-and-coming NHL Draft! June 30th at around 12:30 or 1:00pm, I believe. 1. Colorado 2. Florida 3. Tampa Bay And as an Avs fan, I couldn't be more excited. (Hope...

How likely is it that they are included as another civ? Anybody have any cases to be made or any leads? Or are we just looking at a pipe dream?

A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO POLYNESIA Polynesia may appear one-dimensional on the surface but dig a little deeper and you’ll find they are just as exciting and varied as any of the other civs. Research sailing early and dominate the high seas through naval warfare? Attempt the Terra Map Challenge...

So I've just played a total of 5 games in a row with Netherlands where I've had zero marshes and flood plains within my capital city's first 15 or so tiles. I ran around the continent on all these playthroughs and I wasn't much luckier. A lone marsh tile here, a group of flood plain tiles there...

Johnny is easily one of the most entertaining LPers out there and he is successful because he really interacts with his YouTube audience. He is starting a new LP on the King difficulty setting. He is hardly an expert but in a sense that's why his videos are great for those craving more Civ...

Not sure if this has already been discussed but what do you guys think about putting a limit on the number of wonders a single civ is allowed to create in a game? Or alternatively, increasing the production cost of future wonders by a small margin for the particular civ every time the civ...

A lot of civs are missing from civ but there is one civilization that really deserves to be included and I would argue should even be a mainstay alongside the Greeks, Chinese, Americans, Indians, etc. Who are they? Majapahit. But the game could call it "Indonesia" if it needs to be more...

Here's the deal: You are your own civilization and you get more than one unique unit to construct your ultimate team. In fact, you get one unique unit per era. -Listed below are the UU's by era. Pick only one in each section. Avoid getting the Unique Ability mixed up with the unit (E.g...

truenarnian pointed out that people seem to either love playing with Polynesia or hate them. I wanted to dissect this civ a little more to find out why the gap is so wide, so tell me: Do you love them or hate them? If you love them, why is that? And if you don't? Myself, I'm Polynesia's...

So we just finished the UA thread and people started posting their top 5 UA civs in that thread. I was curious to see who everyone's top 5 favorite civs are at the moment. In no particular order: Dido of Carthage UA: Phoenician Heritage. I love a civ that gives me benefits when I control my...

Can someone point me to the thread/document that shows the likeliness of AI leaders to expand (i.e. build new cities rapidly, expand territory)? The closest I came to finding it was in the well-known thread called "Diplomacy by numbers" but it doesn't have any of the leaders of G&K which is what...
