New game, time for a new line of SGs! Since everyone playing in this game is a veteran of civ 4, we'll be jumping in at Immortal and learning to swim before we tie weights to our feet with themed games or anything like that. Difficulty: Immortal Speed: Normal Civilization: Persia Map: Small...

Rankings are based on pangaea/fractal, single player, immortal difficulty, normal speed. Post your rankings (be sure to mention the settings you play on!) BROKEN Balseraphs - loki's stealing cities from third party wars is overpowered, Summoner trait puppets multiplying your mages'...

Work in progress. Overview The Balseraphs are one of the more interesting and powerful civs in the game. Rather than being focused around a single powerful mechanic such as the Calabim are, they have a comparatively large number of unique units and buildings that support their "circus gone...

The Age of Ice is over, and the Ljosalfar awaken from their long slumber only to discover in horror that their beloved forests have perished in the long winter. Led by the Archmage Thessa, they vow to restore the verdant glory of their homeland that once was, no matter the price... Map...

Always wanted to see them in Civ, and now I have my chance. This civ looks like a more balanced version of the Incans, with the strong Financial and Expansive traits, a UB that improves the otherwise very underused Colosseum into a +3 happiness Ball Court, and a seemingly defensively oriented...

Arriving fashionably late, the members of Team D are uberfish blid pindicator mostly_harmless Official variant rules: 1) Cities may not be captured or razed under any circumstances. 2) Our units cannot enter enemy territory without Open Borders.

My main motivation for this one is to demonstrate a hybrid style of play and encourage some discussion. I'm playing as Elizabeth who's been my favourite leader from the original Civ release due to her unrivalled research abilities with both the power economic traits. Unpatched warlords 2.08...

This is the second installment of my OCC strategy guide, and this time I'll be covering diplomatic victory. Sounds impossible? Just read on. Oh, as a bonus there's no reason why this strategy won't work in regular games too. The settings I generally play on are: Warlords - if you play old...

This strategy is valid for more or less all difficulty levels below deity, and does not rely on an amazing start position. I won't really make comments on specific difficulty levels much, as the map type and settings heavily influence the true difficulty of the game, and people have varying...
