I played a Rome game last night and discovered Anansi first, so I decided to go with this strategy. I didn't get the Ancestral Hall as quickly as others here, but wow - this propelled me into a pretty ridiculous start. I sent Anansi to Saladin, my closest neighbor, and weakened some of his...

I’m curious as to others’ thoughts on SIP vs other options. My instinct says to SIP and work the marble immediately, followed by the deer after we gain a population. We sacrifice some production — our first scout doesn’t get out for a few turns longer — but the immediate +4 science, +4 faith...

Yeah the more I think about it, it’s probably better just to SIP. On the huge Pangea map, it’s going to be important to get scouts out there meeting other civs and city-states. I’ll fire this up tonight and try it out.

I've been getting into Civ over the past couple months. I'm not at the level as some of the crushers in here, but I'm looking forward to diving into this. I need to work on my domination strategies. I'm leaning towards moving my settler to the cocoa for my first city. Waiting until turn 4 to...

I finished my game this weekend and will write it up tonight or tomorrow, but this probably cut 10-15 turns off my win. Maybe I don't play religious games enough to know, but I didn't realize that barbs could insta-kill my apostles. :undecide: I sent a few to the other continent but didn't...

So far, so good I think. I still have work to do in optimizing my mid-game moves - especially for religious and culture victories. But early game went very well. - Where did you settle your city? 1 tile NE over the river next to the mountain - Did you try to build Stonehenge? Did you...

Same thing happened to me. I just assumed the save was made after the warrior had moved.

Science Victory - Turn 283 - 1824 AD - Score 1044 - How many cities did you settle or capture? I settled 10 and captured 22 for a total of 32 cities. - What did you prioritize for research and policies? For science, I got Universities as fast as possible and Crossbows as fast as possible...

So far, things are going ok I guess. I think I'm in an ok spot at turn 100 but don't have the science output I'd like by now. Here's my empire at turn 100: - Where did you settle your city? I moved my warrior to see the landscape but ultimately decided to settle in place. I didn't see a huge...

Culture Victory, Turn 255, 1720 AD - How many cities did you settle or capture? Settled 9, captured 1 for a total of 10 cities on my original continent - What did you prioritize for research and policies? Research: I focused on researching my eurekas early. As I moved on throughout the game...

This is likely a dumb question, but if I chop down the rainforest later in the game, do I lose the adjacency bonus for the campus?

Domination Victory - Turn 267, Score 1284 - How many cities did you settle or capture? Settled 9, Captured 34 for a total of 43 cities - What did you prioritize for research and policies? I beelined straight for Crossbows and Knights to take over my home continent first. Then prioritized...

Yep, I played all the other ones fine. You can't play GOTM4 because it was built with the Aztec DLC installed, so GOTM5 is a comparable substitute that you could play instead.

We're still on the old version before the Winter patch. Because it was during the crossover on GOTM 5, Leif put out a second save file for Macs. We'll likely have to wait until Mac gets the patch before we play this one.

Thanks so much for being accommodating Leif! :) I'm going to hold off on starting this one for a week in the hopes that the patch comes out for Mac and I can play it with the updated fixes.
