Hey guys, I'm a pretty decent civ player and after I got comfortable with BNW (i.e. won 3 games at Immortal) I tried my first ever deity game and got crushed by turn 70. The step from immortal to deity is huge... Usually I play quick pace games on immortal and I win 80% of them one way or...

Hey guys, Just wanted to share this very nice game start (Ethiopia, quick, small, continent, immortal). I scored my first ever cultural victory here but in hindsight I reckon it's quite possible to win all kinds of victories...it's a great start location...if anyone wants to give it a...

Hey guys, after my recent struggles to win on immortal (continents/quick) it has been suggested that I need to grow my cities more and get more science out of them... I can see the obvious keys to it (granary, aqueduct/library, university) also rather tradition than liberty...but what are the...

Hey @ll, it's been a while since I played Civ5 (at that point I won 8 out of 10 games on immortal) but civ is still the only game ever that I will always return to...anyway I started playing again and somehow I lost the ability to win my games...it seem like sport...if you don't train you...

I'm now two weeks into G&K and I still play the usual settings (Emperor, small map, quick) and I must say with G&K playing continents has gotten it's fun back...before it was always a huge drag to conquer another continent as you had to establish a beachhead first usually by allying one or two...

Hi @ll, I hope I'm not waisting your time by being blind or stupid but I have serached the forum in vain and I've read the manual but it is kind of vague on the issue. What I'd like to know is how many points you get for territory, cities (is an annexed city worth more than a puppet is a...

Hey, I my current game I came across another weird map, every once in a while the map generator produces unusual maps. This time on a small continent map, I was on a continent with France and the Ottos and the other 3 civs (Incas, Siam and Darius) each had a continent of their own...not sure...

I just had another of those situations where a civ that's friendly declared war on my out of the blue early in the game. What was really annoying this time was it was just one turn before a RA would have run it's course... I loaded a save from several rounds before and experimented a...

Hi all, I would like to start a more specific thread on strategies tailored for quick pace games. I found that many strategies for normal or epic game speeds don't work that well for the quick pace. I also believe that quick pace goes perfect with small maps, I'm not sure if quick pace and a...

Hi fellow civ players I have read a lot about the post patch early sneak attack and how people hate it and how to avoid it and I have to confess that I feel that the early attack is just great. Let me clarify that I have no idea if what I say is valid on any other level than emperor as I...

I must have been a good boy or the game decided to make up for the last two defeats but this is the insanest start I ever had...btw this is a perfect example of the usual 2 scouts, one city NC start If anyone is interested to play this one (continents, small, quick, emperor)...the save is...

Hi fellow Civ players, I have recently come to hate India and Spain as they tend to defeat me with a cultural victory. In 3 of 5 games I have completed now on .275 I go defeated that way. I always play emperor, small continents, quick pace and it was always the same: they go for a two city...

Hi, I don't know if this is considered an exploit but since the new patch I started to wait until I take an enemy city, even if I could take it earlier at least one I brought a civ down to it's knees. I just keep attacking it with siege weapons to get the XP for logistics and +1 range...

I played a few games with Polynesia now and I really like playing them. First off, the music! It's just awesome to listen to the Hawaiian tunes the whole time, it's like a little holiday... Second, if you play continents, like I do, they are just superior as you can locate all the Civs on the...

Hi guys, after years of reading this great forum and learing lots about good and not so good strategies for Civ III, Civ IV and now Civ V, it's time for my first posting: I am playing Emperor on a small continents map, quick game with no further modifications, version 1.0.1.217 btw and I...
