Do you know of a mod that places civs to their historical location on Earth map? (Sorry, if I posted it to the wrong place)

Take a look into a history book. Pikemen were created to fight the lancers. So they are not only two entirely different units but chronologically it was the other way.

I like playing Venice and defending it is easy even on deity. Use diplomacy as protection. Since Venice is not expanding, you don't make other civs angry at the start. You can score many DoFs. If you feel threatened by someone, bribe him to DW on someone else or the other way around (Venice...

1. About the carriers: They not only build too much of them but have no air units on them. 2. They bombard a city for a long time but have absolutely no melee units to actually capture it. (Mainly in naval combat) 3. AIs building plantations on banana jungle tiles when it's better left alone...

Yep, same thing happened to me (with Poland).

It's not overpowered. It would be if they got the SPs at once. One SP an era isn't that much. By the late game I usually have more SPs than I really need with other civs as well. I think there are more powerful UAs. What about Babylons free academy by researching writing? You pull up a national...

Thank you. :) After playing some civ5 games, I found that diplomatic victory is always an option before you can achieve a science or culture victory. Sometimes I did not even commit all my delegates for world leader, just to get another type of victory. Focusing on globalization speeds that up...

Thanks, that's a good point. Although a reformation belief is so far away to get. I'd rather use my faith (that I get from religious CSs) to purchase great engineers.

Thanks for your comment sschmalz! Yes, I'm new to the forum. Your right CSs are very important. I did mention trying to do the CS quests. What i meant by 'not doing it (allying with them) asap' is: don't spend all your gold buying them before you get your trade routes going and build the...

First of all, I’d appreciate your thoughts concerning my strategy. I started this to outline an easy diplomatic victory, but it turned out to be sort of a guide. It is pretty detailed so less experienced players can use it. 1. The key to an easy victory is diplomacy and money. You can, of...
