With AI civs nearby I used to rush archery and take their capitals reasonably early. But with R&F I seem to constantly fail due to lack of loyalty and strong influence from nearby AI cities. By the time I rush with my 4+ archers and a warrior they usually have 3 cities at least, and when I take...

When a natural wonder is within the borders of a city state, it does not show normal video of finding a natural wonder, and most importantly it does not count as Eureka for Astrology.

Can someone explain this to me like I am five? :lol: I read quite few different articles and still don't get it. Some say it's tourism vs tourism, the civ with bigger tourism output influences the civ with lesser tourism output, if their ideologies differ. Others say culture output (or maybe...

I am wondering would it be OK to make a sticky thread, here or in War Academy forum, for good youtube Civ5 educational videos, or channels. I am talking videos where people explain their decisions, thought process, interesting or more obscure mechanics stuff, etc., i.e. videos that help people...

I know the theory, one is for fast expansions and the other one is for "tall" empire. However usually by the time I get 30 culture I haven't seen nearly enough map to make an informed decision. I.e. last game the map looked empty and I took Liberty, lo and behold the very next turn 3...

Bismarck proposed Embargo the Shoshone (that is me) and put 6 delegates to vote Nay.:confused:

In my last 4+ games AI completed Petra by the time I started it. I do beeline Currency reasonably fast but it seems you need to beeline it from the beginning and/or get extremely lucky.

TL;DR version in spoiler: The stackexchange is about to open a subsite for History Questions & Answers. If you don't know what stackexchange is - it's a growing Q&A site that used to be for programming only, but now it's expanding to a whole lot of new areas (gaming, servers, English...

What I want to talk about is benefits certain techs give are not related to those techs at all. I do hope that I just dont know something... but how'd you explain these: Mathematics -> Courthouse. Printing Press -> Taj Mahal Chemistry -> Cannon, Metallurgy also exists but you need it only for...

I don't mind inappropriate words turning into smiles (it's hilarious), but I recently got a warning for saying a phrase like this: Smiles mean what you think they do. Please tell me if that word is really so bad ("swearing") that it cannot be used in an informal discussions with fellow...

From my last game (King). Apart from me there was one another powerhose, namely Darius I. Far weaker than me but far stronger than everyone else. Harun Al Rashid was already ressurected by me. He was finished off by someone else, if that matters, but the bulk of his cities were taken by...

Elizabeth... is awful. I assume hiring Cate Blanchett can be too expensive, but still... they could do better than the current voice (somehow I can only imagine some peasant women from Elizabeth's era speaking like that :D ) Bismarck... is annoying. Somehow doesn't fit how I imagined him...

Sometimes my guys get some office from senate, aedile and the likes. Whats in it for me for practical purposes? Also I know I can change the heir, so I assume it does matter who's the family leader. How? Thanks in advance ;)

Been a while since I last did any moding, dont remember a thing. All I want is to add more civilizations to Earth 18 scenario if possible, or replace some of them if not. Namely Sitting Bull to North America, Korea to Korea and some others. Is that possible? In World Builder I was able to see...

Yes, I'm pretty bored and gotta kill some time :) These lists probably won't prove anything but we might see some interesting trends. I'm going to exclude one leader from my list, that is Darius, because I always tend to do far better with him than my normal difficulty level. Otherwise my...

I so didn't want barbarians to be back :( It's a stupid term. Celts were legitimate civ in Civ4 but they were "barbarians" to Romans, and Aztecs were barbarians to Europeans, and Europeans were barbarians to Aztecs presumably. Adding insult to injury, Civilization series barbarians are usually...

Since Civ V is close, I decided to finally learn Immortal, now or never. And for that I need your help :) I'm not experienced with threads like this, but I guess if I post situation with screenshots and (later) saves every once in a while, along with my ideas/problems/ and read your...

We all love tech trading and the widely accepted "superior" tech path is largely based on what you can trade with AIs. However, what if we play with trades off? Philosophy suddenly becomes far less attractive. Liberalism race is still attractive because you still need universities (you...

I never bothered with default ships until now. That is until I noticed that some default ships I can build are way better than anything I can possibly assemble myself. I.e. at the recent game I had (default) Destroyer with 36 beam attack, 10 shields and 3 move. The most I could fit on that hull...

Hey guys, I am doing a little research on leaders who made decisions way above and beyond just ordinary stupidity. I do not mean to argue here who was the most stupid, I'd just like to ask your help, if you could give me more names ;) They should meet this criteria: 1. Real, historical person...
