Yeah I can't say much about them actually attacking AI military units but in terms of AI missionaries/settlers/workers they always capture them

I have about 300+ hours in the game and I'm still on Prince

From my experience I would say the Civs who are most consistently strong are Greece, Russia, Germany, and Brazil. If shuffle decides to use an island map where Pedro is isolated he can already fully influence a Civ tourism wise before I even meet him.

I'm pretty surprised that's the opposite of my games, even if I'm really ahead I won't be attacked unless I provoke another civ or it's a warmonger civ

Yeah it's definitely anticlimactic, it'd be cool to have some type of montage of key events in your game or something like that

A lot of the times I'll fill out tradition and go commerce second. If on a water map or playing with a Civ that has a powerful Naval UU or as the Ottomans I'll go Exploration

The game in a nutshell is science

^^^^^

I agree with Vitruvius. It's more of a vanilla v. DLC issue where they introduced some extremely powerful Civs with the expansions and DLC. This made a lot of those Civs who are expected in Civ in the vanilla version that are typically the most powerful in actual history to be dwarfed by their...

There's a mod you can download called Agressive and Expansive AI that would help you out

Impj!!! I can't believe no one has listed them yet. Combined with the unique barracks building with that huge bonus for flanking, 3 movement, and they have a spear throw that can cause significant damage at the beginning of an attack before they even take any damage? Ridiculous easily my favorite UU

Shuffle you never know what type of map you're going to get. Keeps it interesting each game

Well my game was doomed from the beginning I started on the west coast of a continent with very little room to the north of me, the east taken up by Poland and Venice and Siam, and the South about 3-4 tiles below my capital was just snow-tundra it was one of the worst starts I've had in a while

I was playing a game recently with my friend and he was Poland and I was owning him early game thanks to the Pathfinders and getting really good bonuses out of ruins. But after that I didn't know what direction to go in with the Shoshone and ended up falling behind tremendously. I was wondering...

I'm 20 years old and Civ V was my first game and now I'm going to play every new Civ release Civ V hooked me on this franchise

Well yeah economic and diplomatic are kinda the same thing :p I just mean Civs who have UU's that help their ability to make gold like Morocco and Arabia

To me it seems like economic Civs like Morocco would be really good on Marathon

I'm considering doing a marathon game and was wondering how it affects certain Civs and how powerful they are. Are there any Civs you can think of that benefit from the longer game or are worse off from being in a marathon game?

The Civs I have played recently that I really enjoyed were The Ottomans and Shaka. The Ottomans's UA will let you build up an amazing navy that is pretty cheap and since the AI isn't very good with naval warfare you can completely control the seas. While Shaka and those damn Impi are just...

I just started Enemy Within and am currently using a team made up entirely of leaders from Civ V so my team right now is Boudicca, Shaka, Dido, and George Washington haha I wish they had other languages to choose for your characters like some type of African language and Chinese and Japanese...
