Civ 5 Playthru -How to Conquer the World by being Poor, Upset and Massively Outgunned

Global happiness works awesome. I just got into negative happiness and it crippled my entire civ. Looking around for luxuries in a panic. I never ever looked around for luxury resources in a panic before. It's certainly not a dumbed down move, as while accomplishing the same goal (population limiting) they've made it integral to the core game-play and something of a crisis that needs resolving, instead of happiness just something that'll allow your cities to get slightly bigger before they reach the inevitable cap.

Yeah man I noticed this right away. I think the global happiness is a really good change. I can take one look up top, see if I will get in trouble soon. I also ignored happiness for a while and I payed the price.

Beep beep! Great General incoming!

That must mean I'm warring good!

Not that I really need the bonus of a Great General to wipe up these barbarians!
 
thanks alot for making this thread, i can honestly say that it makes time pass that much faster.

just one question: do garrisoned unit reduce unhappiness in conquered cities???
 
Is Bismark behind the average in techs or are you just that far ahead? I realize you had to sacrifice a lot to get where you are, but infantry vs. pikes and spears is quite a lot!
 
Are you making friends with the city states, or ignoring them? In my all too brief demo I tried, but it seemed like they dropped out of friendship really fast. You basically have to keep giving them money, or drop everything to do their requests asap. The latter doesnt seem to be feasable since they dont seem to give you enough time to actually do what they ask. Giving them money every few turns doesnt work either, not enough cash in the first 100 turns!

The peoples in Europe are all in the industrial era minimum. China has plenty of infantry and whatnot knocking about. I just lucked out with derpy dumb Bismark I think. Check out the scores.... (considering Caeser and Suleiman have lost most of their cities)

Yeah. You need patronage to even start thinking of being pally with City States I think... Sadly my peoples are culturally backwards and we're not exactly inundated with social policies, so I've just ignored them.
