Sub t50 (standard speed, deity) crossbowman.... it also makes no sense you get these units at a discount price than buying in your cities.

Anyone know how many of these spawn in each game map? I presume larger maps should have more, correct?

Just noticed something about Eleanor's ability... The -loyalty is not capped at 20... hence with slotted wonders, etc. it can drive loyalty down to much below -20... 30 or 40 is quite doable depending on city overlap (meanwhile loyalty from pop is capped at -20)... I don't think there's a cap...

One thing I've noticed in RnF is that with fixed world eras, it has become virtually impossible to recruit any late game great person, at least, for me (most GP points I'll get usually ~20-50). Given that the majority of my games end in renaissance or industrial, or modern at latest if I'm...

Just finished my first game on R&F (Pangaea, deity, standard, Kongo)... some quick observations... 1) Tech rate/civics rate of deity AI noticeably slower... it was almost like playing on, oh I don't know, king on vanilla... I am the first civ to enter a new era after classical era... and that...

If you are the first to meet a CS, but do not have your first city settled, you get the one envoy, but the bonus will not be there (Once I do settle, I observe that I don't get the gold, culture, science, or faith... and I'm pretty sure I don't get the hammers). And actually I never bother to...

Seems that when you gain a foreign tourist from a civ, it no longer lowers the number of domestic tourists that civ has (prior to the latest patch, it was possible to lower the number of domestic tourists a culture gimp has into the negatives even). Now it does not matter where you send your...

When you think about it, what is the most powerful unit in the very early game? A promoted pathfinder-turned-CB? What if I told you there was a unit with the strength close to that of a CB with several times the health, with march and indirect fire promotions? And the said unit's combat power...

First time this has happened to me on deity. What do you do when an AI conquers too much and mere dissidents put it at -40 unhappiness? When a city flips, sell it back (after taking all the great works in it of course)... for all their gpt and single copy luxes... Rinse and repeat...

From the deity tier thread I've been itching to find a suitable map for a challenge with them, and behold... Your own peninsula, salt, and safe terrain. Plenty of tiles for Moai. Standard speed and size, Pangaea, Polynesia and Inca required. Where you will start: My own attempt:

Not even 80 turns in and behold... My immediate neighbors had no interest in expanding there on the other hand... de·ten·tion noun 1. the act of detaining. 2. the state of being detained. 3. maintenance of a person in custody or confinement One of these days I'm going to just...

It's a thing I've been doing lately :lol: One measly artifact to ensure +40% influence from OB and +40% from trade routes + not getting DoW'd on... Two games in a row now I've been able to be friends with the whole world just doing this (as well as WC proposals), despite them hating each...

Didn't know religious tolerance works when the majority "religion" is pantheon... Here the food from camps bonus is applied twice to my satellites... with granary a forest deer tile is 5 food 2 hammers :lol: and a plains ivory is 3 food I'd love to see this used on God of the Sun on a city...

Did you know that you can view all your great works by right clicking them in their slots? Well, apparently Portugese beads looked like this: Weirdest beads I've ever seen... I think this is a bug :lol: (artifacts won't display anything if you left click on them, but right clicking is a...

With the change to consulates perma-friendship (well the change is to the bonus from PtP), there's no longer an auto +3 happiness for each mercantile CS on the map. I find with the new patch that my empire of only 3 (admittedly tall) cities is struggling to stay happy (happiness in single...

Say you spawn with something like this: Aside from the cattle and deer, afterwards you will more or less have to work sea resources or sheep. Your only lux is crab and cotton is 4 tiles away (simply because I moved my settler one turn) A lighthouse would seem a crazy strong building, but...

I'm interested to see which type of VC people here go for (we're not talking about snatching a DV to stop Cathy from launching her ship or a desperate last-minute SV one turn before a world leader vote would elect Alex); what is the first VC you have in mind when starting the majority of your...

We all have one or two... (except for the super strong deity players) the civ that when you see them in your game you just feel like restarting... or you know it's going to be a long game. The civ that gives you the most trouble, whether it be coveting your land even though you have 2 cities and...

I just had this really amazing spawn I wanted to share :) Although it's nothing godly like my immortal city in the other thread... Let's just say it's the complete opposite of those challenges where you spawn 8 tiles from Shaka or Atilla. Starting location looks fantastic too... (and you...

Ok, seriously do they get extra happiness per resource or per city or what? Because I fail to see how someone who owns the entire map without any CS allies can garner up 200+ excess happiness AFTER deduction for cities and population. (look at the minimap and see how big Shaka's empire is...
