Some easy things that comes to mind: do not sell stuff or DP for gold. Try to use the civs abilties better, even if that leads to suboptimal play. Or generally use some fun but suboptimal strategy. Don't reload mistakes. Purposely avoid the free settler from Religious Settlements. Anyway, these...

I think the victory screen should appear after you end the turn.

I recently played the maori and I first did a couple of trial starts to see how this ocean start works out (fractal map, deity, everything standard). In most of these trials I was not able to find any good location before turn 20, sometimes even turn 30, and in one case not at all. And with good...

I've been on the receiving end of this at Deity, and I agree this is pretty broken. The amount of free money you get is just absurd.

I recently started playing gathering storm, there is one thing that I was wondering: what do people think of late game warfare? Given that it is not uncommon to only have 6-8 oil in an empire of 10-12 cities, the total amount of infantry + artillery + tank + part of fleet is constrained to 6...

Quick question about zone of control. The warrior next to palenque moves right and destroys the archer next to rotterdam on the stone. My question is very simple, how is this possible? Why is this warrior not affected by zone of control?

Crazy stuff this. I just have the idea that this game was "not meant" to be finished turn 157 on deity. I am not even going try to copy this, but I noticed lots of tricks that I might use at some point. As for the globalization comment, I assume that refers to the “+10% Science Science per...

pff joined 2002, newbies :) Anyway, I was just checking this thread as to see when I should buy civ6. In my experience Civ5 a dreadful game on first release and unrecognizable from the fantastic game it became afterwards (hence my hesitation to buy civ6 on first release). Ironically I think...

I played this game SV on turn 292.

If you fall behing in tech on immortal you're probably not focussing enough on tech, e.g. prioritise universities, public schools, and growth. Unless you want do some early domination game, even then tech is important. Also, if you play on a map with 22 civs and you want to win by domination...

Right, I'm gonna give this deity CB/XB rush a go. Only played a couple of civ5 games in 2016 so far so I am a bit rusty. This is different from my normal play, I usually start a bit more peacefully and may start attacking around cannons/artillery. My first try was with China, and actually a lot...

ok, the patch is very good and resolves a lot of the cheap tricks/bottlenecks. Things like the improvement in melee units is also great. As said, I am playing it for the first time, so I am exploring along the way. I am just suprised by seeing what seems to be a run-a-way civ by turn 100-120...

Played the mod (for the first time) and it seems nice, turned back the level from deity to demi-god, but I am not entirely sure everything is nice and balanced. Evidence: In my first try I unluckly border Atilla, who has around 10 cities around turn 100, and already has XBs and muskets...is the...

I got a domination victory on turn 302.

Good win. One comment though (dunno if you're looking for tips...), your capital does not seem very big. Did you use cargo ships to feed your capital? If not, that might shave of some turns of your victory time. As many people here will know: food cargo ships are amazing.
