Hi guys, I just posted my peaceful Piety Diplomatic Victory guide to the Strategy subforum here on civfanatics. It's a deep read, covering various diplo mechanics and strategies related to everything from early religion spread to ideological manipulation to how to play your science game from...

tl;dr. This is a guide for Non-Deity players looking to break into the difficulty and Deity players who want to try something new. Intimidated by the rough Deity tech curve? No problem! This strategy allows, nay, encourages, you to fall behind early and stay there to your content. Narrowly...

How do you do this? Without using special gamechanging UUs (So, no Atilla, Mongols, Assyria, Zulu, Etc). I move soooo slowly when I try to war at this time. Can't take out more than 1-2 civs. Economy and science lags behind. Immortal. But, looking for tips that would be effective on diety...

Inspired by NoobEmperor's noobie BNW tier list thread... I think it would be nice to start a thread on a Deity tier list for single player. I've been working on one internally for a bit, based off of Sufficiency's G&K list, but taking into account the fact that most people don't just play...

This post will be updated with aggregated information. :) So, I thought it would be useful to collect some info on the new pace of the game after BNW. Please post: 1) The earliest you've finished a spaceship on Deity, what map, and which civ (your fastest time). 2) The latest you've...

It seems that AIs have naturally preferred ideology and do not just make that decision when they're prompted to. I mean, you can obviously sway them, but it seems they have preferences. This happens BEFORE they select any Ideology. Example: I had Freedom, Persia had Order. No one else had...

So, Delhi hit 40 population sometime in industrial, no one else had more than 20 pop at the time. Emperor difficulty. Standard Pangaea. Limited myself to 3-cities for the achievement. Game won on turn 295, culture victory. Very ahead in tech due to population. Very quick game, with a...

Woooohoooo! Right? Or were Siam/Carth just being super super nice to me this game. I must have bought like 10 tiles over the course of the game straight into our mutual borders. Not a peep from either of them. Dido wasn't even my friend and coveted my territory the entire game...

This is to complement the "which civ will benefit the most?" thread/poll. Key BNW balance changes: - New tourism-based culture game. Civs geared toward the current culture game (especially the current tall culture game) will probably take a relative hit compared to new Tourism-civs. Tourism...

So, tourism = offensive culture; culture = defensive culture (and you get policies). I may have just missed important things in the videos.... but what do you get with high tourism, if you're not going for a tourism victory? For example, I would still want to have high culture for policies...

I think there are a couple of the more subtle and imo underrated skills in this game that aren't captured by the general discussions that go around of "how to best use unit X, ability Y?" or "how to do Tradition start?". But, they often determine whether you end up victorious. Here's what...

Any benefits? I do not have a religion (only 40 faith total right now), but do have a Pantheon. When I auto-spawn my first great prophet at 200 faith or whatever it is, will I be forced to found my own religion? Can I found it in the same city as Islam (the religion I took over) for fun...

Can't find a good Diplomacy guide that's updated through the G&K AI changes (which are many). Can anyone link me one? I think I've got it mostly figured out, but it would nice to know how much a net positive sending a gift (or lopside trade) is, whether it's always a static bonus, etc...

Hi all, I am a first time poster on these forums and new civ player as of about a month ago. In moving up the difficulty levels, I would like to know exactly what bonuses the AI has. These are usually pretty transparant in modern games, but Civ 5 seems to be opaque. I see the chart here...
