Just decided to get Civ6 Gold Edition and Gathering Storm in the Steam sale. I played a lot of Civ3 and 4, but was never able to really get into Civ5. Mainly posting to see if anyone has a link to some sort of introductory thread for returning Civ4 players handy - anything to summarise new...

Yeah, the GL can sometimes make Archipelago maps a bit too easy. Maybe Brennus wasn't the best example either, someone without cha/phi/fin/org might make for a challenge, perhaps a leader like Bismarck, Genghis or Stalin. As for the map I was planning on something similar, so Hemispheres...

I think economy management is probably one of my weaker areas, it feels like a lot of my problems are caused by expanding too quickly without the early economic techs, or just building too many units. I'll make sure I post here first if I start a new game soon. Maybe Brennus would be a good...

Well I always have a lot more problems with leaders that don't have traits that work well with the UU and UB, especially Protective leaders, or leaders that just don't fit my playstyle, like Tokugawa or Boudica. Zara works very well with the way I play, probably because Creative and Organised...

I didn't actually have anything planned yet for another game. If I do start another it'll probably be with a leader that's not as easy to play and on Normal speed, just to keep the difficulty interesting.

Nicely done Ralph, a stylish ending for a fun game. Thanks for playing people, it was a good learning experience for me. I also never realised you got a domination victory if you met the conditions for both a conquest and domination on the final turn though, or do vassals count differently to...

Indeed, I'm so used to my vassals being unable to really help much that I tend to forget about gifting them techs.

Just finished playing, I'll keep things brief. Started off by increasing the easpionage rating on Isabella and collecting units at the front. I also noticed she had a defensive pact with Bismarck, but couldn't get either of them to cancel it. Spent a couple of turns healing units and getting...

Got it, will try to play tomorrow afternoon, good work dealing with Tokugawa so quickly, didn't think it'd be quite that fast.

You are indeed, my mistake for not posting the roster. Here it is a day too late:p Colony (on deck) Sweetacshon (just played) Ralph_Jackson RRRaskolnikov (up) I don't think there's too much left to discuss at this point though, just continue capturing Tokugawa's cities, researching...

Definitely Tokugawa next, even with all his land it shouldn't take too long.

If Ralph can play today or early tomorrow it might be worth swapping, otherwise just play when you get back.

Ouch, makes me glad to live in a country where extremely hot weather's considered anything over about 32 degrees C. Pretty much, some rush buying a tank army might be the way to go once we have Industrialism.

Turn 0 - 1695 AD - Turn research to 0 in order to rush buy some units and allow some upgrades IBT - Isabella and Bismarck declare war on Tokugawa. Turn 1 - 1700 AD - Upgrade some Rifles to Infantry, rush a couple of things IBT - Tokugawa captures Vitoria from Bismarck Turn 5 - 1708 AD - Turn...

Going to try and play in about 2 hours. Some thoughts: Victory condition: As has been said nearly all conditions are available top us. Domination would probably get it done in fewer game turns, but SS would take less actual time. I'd prefer trying for domination though; Bismarck, Tokugara and...

I was away and only got back early this morning, I thought I'd posted, but obviously not, not good SG etiquette:blush:. It's going to take me a couple of hours to catch up with everything, so if you're free Sweetacshon then it might be an idea to swap with you this round. My initial thoughts on...

For my early cities I like to have 1 5 food tile, 2 flood plains, a 4 food tile and some riverside grassland or any sort of combination of these. Basically enough surplus food that it can quickly grow to size 4/5+, work a couple of mines or support some specialists. If you want to play a...

The benefits of hindsight, the Warrior started 1NW of the Settler and didn't reveal anything useful. I don't have a problem with overlapping tiles, in the most important stages of the game you're not likely to be working more than 12 tiles per city, so it makes sense to work as many good tiles...

Double post.

Sweetacshon said he'd be back around now, but go ahead and play this turnset, looks like he isn't back yet.
