This will be my first game in nearly a year. I got an email that said a expansion was out, but I guess it's not ready yet. So I updated the game and went in mostly just to get a sense of what might have changed if the expansion looks good. Settled in place and struggled with the lack of...

Got a late start on this one and probably won't finish in time to submit. I have control of my continent with the exception of the two C-S which I think I'm going to take out to expand over the whole continent and then just turtle and try to finish as fast as possible. I worry that a lack of...

Would best plan be to settle 1W to get a harbor since we don't know what type of map it is? Also opens up being able to mine the hill versus farming a river tile? And then second city up in the cotton somewhere.

I haven't picked this game back up since my first session or two. I had a game with the same setup to learn the ropes of things. I wanted to test whether I could take an early DOW on me, and pivot it into a expansion war coupled with some C-S aggro. Well this failed hardcore. I got a...

It doesn't seem like all trade routes stop. I think internal ones don't seem like they reset or else id spend all game setting routes as most are in the 4 to 5 turn distance.

- Where did you settle your city? - In Place - What did you research and which policies did you choose and why? - Tried to farm eurekas mostly and took a direct approach to build comm/indu districts. - What was your build order? - 2xSlingers Builder Settler - How soon did you build a District...

Since the update I'm seeing AI get Stonehenge in the T45 range. (Immortal)

Is there some explanation of the rules and benefits of using them? i.e. 2x catapults CP = ???

I think I'll just play with the patch to get used to it and not submit. Patch fixes a lot of nice things, and would be good to get a jump on how the new AI works and all that.

How do you unpatch the game to play on the old version?

Messed around with this setup and map type on some generic games. I think I'm in over my head a bit. I have found that the default sort of starting gambit to end up with 2 warrior and 4 archers early and rush a neighbor might find you with nothing to rush. Also this map type tends to be...

@elitetroops looks like only one spaceport in a city with 150 hammers. That's nuts. Well done mate.

Horrific game for me, this is my first game really to finish since Civ4. I barely understood what it took to get a science VC and it showed. Horrible management of every aspect of everything. Then I started achievement farming towards the end. I enjoyed it, but it mainly helped me learn...

So can you build a theater district on something other than a hill with this leader?

Yeah, I had a special spreadsheet for Civ4 to manage some of the harder aspects. I can't seeing that being needed this go around except it would be nice if someone made a nice pdf checklist of sorts of all the eurekas you could get laid out in groups (kill things, have things, research things...

I played alot of 4 and totally skipped 5 and got 6 on a whim mostly. 4 to me was elegant in it's simplicity, tech to make a SOD that the AI couldn't handle fast enough to take all their cities. It was more a pure strategy game than 6 seems to be if the strategy was work your tiles in the most...

- Where did you settle your city? Went 1 SE to try and get a bit away from the jungle and give some breathing room to the north city. This left with me chopping the jungle in the middle of a triangle to make room for districts which works out quite well. - What did you research and which...

I don't see this documented anywhere. I'm a little shocked at how little documentation there is out there on critical things like this. Most game developers employ wiki writers early on and then turn it over to the community at large.

Why is there such a tight window of 1 turn to time it exactly as you finish the research? Couldn't you repeat this periodically if you need to rush a bunch of builders?

I skipped Civ5 altogether so I'm still way behind the learning curve. First instinct is to settle the SE spot that then allows to make a triangle of city 2 and 3 leveraging that fresh water to the north somehow once the warrior scouts a bit. Will be a slow growing capital from what is...
