Well I had the biggest empire on the map, most civs hated me for past war mongering still and some civs simply would never take peace with me even when threatening their capitals. I ended up having to take out a few caps just to eliminate a threat. But after a short period of semi peace most of...

Thats very helpful. Thank you!

I don't fully understand how Gunboat Diplomacy works. Or Rather I don't understand the game mechanics regarding how to bully city states aka demanding tribute. I am playing a Venice game and have chosen autocracy, and was hoping to take advantage of the gun boat diplomacy tenant in order to...

I am also playing an emperor large 22 civ game right now. going for domination too. I think it is totally doable to get all the caps, but its kinda silly that you will win cultural victory just because you conquered all the cultural civs. I guess you can leave one very cultural civ till last...

I am not so sure about how city states would or should be affected my ideology. but here's one idea... One real life example that comes to mind is how Georgia was a "city state" that was part of the USSR, but as that broke apart, the Georgians started leaning towards "freedom" and away from...

I believe the point of the ideologies coming late is to make the late game interesting. It has the ability to split up existing alliances and make old grudges less important to form new alliances

my capital is right on the board with Monty and is a tad worrying.

I took out the Vikings capital for the 12 iron he had, then built of a large navy of frigates and privateeers with my core 4 coastal cities, Zurich was just off the coast of my capital but had been annexed by Venice. I figured if I declared war on him, captured it, I could liberate it and not...

I could post the save file tonight if anyone is interested. Would be cool to see how different players take one given situation half way through the game and emerge in different end points.

its on epic speed, so moving my men around the board is a bit easier. there is no clear runaway leader, but Assyria comes close with having the second largest landbase. It seems a lot of civs are going for diplo or cultural win. I am keeping Atilla and Monty alive on purpose so they might...

I've started my first Emperor game on BNW with the Zulus. So I naturally thought I should go militaristic to take advantage of the UA, Impi and special barracks. I make the map continents plus Large with 22 civ to make it cramped and to encourage wars. I've actually done quite well so far...

good job sticking in there to the end. I started a HUGE map with max civs on epic prince as india. I am experiencing a game where everyone has been friends for most of the game, as I enter the modern era only japan is being aggressive, and so I am forced to bribe others into attacking each...

this system on flipping makes a lot more sense than what it was in Civ 4. In reality a city will revolt quickly and the whole city will change, though there may be some loyalists in the city and hence the resulting the unrest for a few turns.. In civ 4 the tiles would gradually be eaten up by...

I've seen the Impi group all throw spears before the last one attacked for the kill. its not an animation bug, its likely a difficulty modifier, giving the AI a tactical advantage. There was talk on the polycast that they tweeked the difficulty system, its less about giving the AI straight up...

my first time following others into a ideology (not being first to get one) was terrible, I chose Autocracy, but everyone else was either Order or Freedom and I guess the freedom guy had a lot of tourism pressure because I lost 10 happiness right away and started getting rebels on my land very...
