Ahh, I don't usually select my own city-states but, yep, for some reason, I did it this game and picked an even 12 city-states. I'll try it without doing that.

Yeah, has anyone actually got a barb camp to change into a city-state? I had one camp where I pumped gold into every 20 turns for the 10 points, and the bar never moved. I was in monopolies mode and forgot to turn of culture victory, so the game ended on turn 199 because I had 2 marble...

Red Rocks Amphitheater! A world famous concert venue built into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Must be built on hills adjacent to mountain tiles. All rock bands +1 promotion or all rock bands gain 25% chance of NOT retiring.

Are you suzerain of Cardiff?

Your current specs should be pretty good. I am on an 8700k and 1080ti. 4K all settings maxed and speed is fantastic on mostly large maps. Why not simply have your computer dual boot? I have a work OS and a gaming OS if you will. Keeps me more productive when I need to be working. You can easily...

Playing on Emperor and Immortal I find RV to be the easiest with Mali. It requires a lot of diplomacy out the gate. I found them super frustrating at first bc I kept trying a traditional route. 4 early cities is more than enough to get it going if you handle early diplomacy okay. My strategy...

I think I am halfway with a mix of emperor, immortal (x2) and diety (x2) but now I am entirely on emperor. I just can’t be bothered with anything but culture or science victory on Diety. I got diplomatic and religious on emperor, large map standard speed. Between hotels and flights I have...

I have some more constructive discussion... How to people do well with Monty on higher difficulties? I am terrible at using the Eagle Warriors it seems, and they are obsolete before I can do anything useful aside from defending myself. The amenities can be useful but I find it’s so easy to...

Well that makes sense. I knew how melee worked with city defenses not sure why I didn’t put together the ranged attack the same way. Thanks for the response. Do you need to have the unit be alive? Or once you built a crossbow for example, the city range strength upgrades and stays upgraded?

Am I missing something with the ranged attack for cities? I had a domination game recently with Zulu and just finished a Gorgo game. Even late game my walls were doing like -10 damage to swordsman and -1 or -2 to any renaissance unit. I had steel researched and still I would get less than -10. I...

Barbary Corsair (Ottomans) - 20 Bireme (Phoenicia) - 11 Black Army (Corvinus/Hungary) - 21 Conquistador (Spain) - 28 Cossack (Russia) - 14 De Zeven Provinciën (Netherlands) - 19 Digger (Australia) - 13 (16 - 3) - I have never built one for actual use only for era score. Too late for the type...

Guh, I apologize if I have written about this before but I can’t figure out a good system for placing districts and when to chop. Playing on detailed worlds Pangea there is often quite a bit of vegetation. I have been focusing on planning districts lately. I go ahead and fill up my map with...

But seriously....I feel like early warfare has changed quite a bit. Especially if walls appear. Anyone having success plowing through a neighbor that managed to get up early walls? I started a game yesterday (on prince) with Germany to try and have some fun building a super production city...

Indonesia is my favorite on an island plates map. You can really get a strong faith based economy going in the early game with their costal bonus and bee line for the Jong. Can easily get 4 or 5 of those and dominate your neighbors. They are beasts in the classical era.

Well, I think we should give some credit to Firaxis and their ability to evaluate if an idea heavily backed by these message board belongs in a MOD or in the base game.
