    Mysterious Soundtracks?

    Well, soundtracks are divided into categories: - cultural diversion among civilizations (Arabic civs, European civs, Native American civs, etc.) - war themes and peace themes - civilization specific songs There are probably more categories, dunno.

    Question about marathon LPs

    I'd check out a Deity LP.

    Domination without ranged units

    It's viable, even on Immortal/Deity, although not 100%. I'd say certain "circumstances" strongly bend the chances towards you: Game Speed - Slower Speed is beneficial UUs - Kris Swordsman, Samurai, Minutemen, Janissary, etc. I believe to make a difference Neighbours - Obviously against...

    I'm SoonerJBD, and I am addicted to the early game

    You're managing to get to the Modern Era?! Tell me your secret man! I rarely get passed the Renaissance! Don't know what to tell you dude.. I've had this curse since I've started (more than a year ago) and have yet to find a cure. Although I can see a positive trend when I try to find out...

    CIV 5 game speed? (mod request)

    Extended Eras on the Steam Workshop. Don't know how balanced it is though.

    Early game: scouting and worker steals?

    You can watch BruinBound's America LP where he snatches some 3-4 workers to see how it's done AND some really funny worker tag games where they run and he tries to catch them :D I like your strategy btw, it's not what you see everyday, which I'm fond of. If playing as the Shoshone, focusing a...

    Workers and Water Mills

    Worker > Watermill all day, every day. Reason: Improved tiles are the best resource boost you can be getting early-on, since tiles don't cost gold maintenance and are equivalent or better than granaries/watermills/markets. Example: I started a Standard; Standard; Pangaea game with Gajah. At...

    Domination on Immortal/Deity - a noob's guide

    The question is not if it's profitable or not - if a building wasn't profitable why would someone build it? The question is if the shrine is necessary - a pantheon which gives culture/faith/miscellaneous benefits is not beneficial IF put against the other possible buildings/units in a DomV...

    DCL evolution and proposition

    I still haven't started playing the DCLs (Deity still too hard I guess), but I'm following them thoroughly and one thing that came to my mind is that the map types aren't enough. There was a Small Continents once I think and all others were Continents and Pangaea. Imo posting more Small...

    Help with immortal game

    Are there trade routes in G&K? If there are, send a production TR to the crappy city to build those ships faster. If there aren't, just ignore this comment.

    Let's play on Deity and win before turn 125

    Mel Uncensored! I was about to ask you on youtube if it's OK to advertise you here, since your LPs are interesting, but there's no thread on Civfanatics or what-so-ever. I guess you did that yourself. :D

    Liberty

    I don't think people hate Liberty, most just prefer Tradition. I love Liberty, I still pick it less than 50% of my games - its requirements are simply higher than Tradition - space, luxuries, time to catch up, decent neighbours, etc. You don't get that every game. But don't worry, read some...

    Favorite game settings? Wat es they?

    Not true. Continents spawns 90% of the time 2 continents and nothing else. Sometimes it may put a player alone on an island. Fractal maps are quite random and seem more natural to me. It can be a Pangaea, a few continents or something in between. Usually there are going to be smaller islands...

    Help with immortal game

    He's 8 techs ahead of you. At your stage of the game that's a lot. Since you don't have a big army the maintenance won't be a hit for you, so maybe sign the papers and try to tech up. Doesn't look like other VCs are possible. DiploV with 10-12 CSs and Alex in the game is a no-go; I don't know...

    Help w/ basics

    Thanks mate, totally forgot that his youtube channel's different from his account here. And watching non-deity players is also a good idea, since when I first started out, watching deity has controversial to me - having the AI have so many advantages kind of put me off at first.
