Thanks. Will post in Civ 5. Sorry!

I put the BNW suffix before the thread title, so I don't why why I would be in the CivVI forum.

I've been trying to win quickly and successively with a DV on Immortal level for a long time with not much luck. I have won a few times - like 3. I have looked at threads giving DV advice, and although I try to follow the recommended steps, I can't seem to catch a break. I watched an ACKEN...

Thanks for the info guys.

Thanks so much Nares and revelation216! I do most of what you're saying except selling buildings and 'loaning' gold. I'm still not sure how that works, actually. Pillaging your own land - I had never thought of that! I try for DoF asap, but they usually turn me down. Most of the time I have to...

Thanks northernscribe and jango76 - It seems that I thought the situation was worse than it was. I do want some of those cultural buildings and I do build them, but building those means not building a unit or a building that helps your army, so sometimes I'm not sure when it's a good time to...

Yeah, I always seem to be short on gold. On Emperor I usually had the MH wonder, which was really handy now that there are so many GP in BNW. Plus, I got extra points for GM so I was earning more often from trade missions too. Now I don't build MH. In the beginning a use my trade routes for...

That's great info. docbud - thanks!

Ah, I hate to ask, but what is UU, or UA?

Thank you :)

OK, thanks, Browd. So my original question was about why I'm so behind the other civs. Are you guys saying that I'm not attacking early enough? Happiness is also an issue there. Sure, it's great if you can capture N.Dame early on but in my games at least it's usually been built in a city far...

Ok, but positioning units in safe, but advantageous, places usually means that the AI asks you if you're going to attack or if you're 'just passing through'.... I guess you're saying harmless units like scouts and workers can do that dirty work for you? But that would suppose you have extra...

Thanks WiseGreen, I'll do my best!

So, I've been trying to win a dom vic on immortal for a while now and I just can't get ahead of the AI. In the early game (Pangea and standard everything) I'm prioritising growth (internal trade routes, building granaries and lighthouses first, etc.) and not building wonders except S.Zeus and...

Aaaah!!

OK, so it wasn't -40, it was -20. I said -25, which was my mistake because I remembered wrong. I don't know where you got -40 from... At this point in the game all the civs in the game are known to each other, so this didn't happen because someone was unknown. My civ was happy until the last...

Hey dragonxxx and tetley, I think what you're talking about is more advanced than what I'm capable of! The advice I've received from the forum until now about dom vic on this level has been to leave culture and tourism on the back burner while you concentrate on other things, eg. growing cities...

Exactly docbud! I went from about +15 happiness to -25 in one turn because the last civ to choose their ideology chose something different (4 civs sharing 2 ideologies and then me with a different one). This hasn't happened to me before when I have been the first to pick my ideology. I've had...

I appreciate people taking the time to reply - one day I hope I'll be giving more advice here than I ask for - but dragonxxx, you need to be careful about assuming things about people and then making slightly harsh comments. As a matter of fact I have full Tradition and haven't 'jumped' to...

Hi guys, So, I'm working towards a dom vic on Immortal (standard Pangea map) and was the first to choose my ideology (Autocracy), but no other civ has chosen it and now my citizens are completely revolting (hehe) and I have to change my ideology to Freedom or my cities are going to start to...
