Move all three pieces then entrench. Either of the flanks should move down and away from the swordsman one space, and the other two should move one space sideways, then fortify all of them. If the swordsman goes to the center and attacks, attack with all three, killing the sword on turn 2. If it...

You could have pillaged the farm under the cat before taking the city, and that should have been enough to take Athens as well, via the eastern and northern sides of the city. Always pillage farms for health before you take a city, as the population usually drops enough that they become unnecessary.

I'm looking forward to when someone smarter than myself tears the code apart, and we all discover the war weariness mechanics. For now, I have been able to get myself a net gain in effective amenities through war, even without capturing any cities. If you pillage every upgraded tile your...

Population growth was OP in Civ V, because tall cities were king. Wide empires are best in this game, with much of the same balance choices as Beyond Earth. You get more pop growth with more cities, than trying to build one city up. Losing the happiness resource and golden ages was a big change.

Let your faith build up until theology. Use the faith to build an army. With good strategy, that will be your army that you upgrade through the end game. After that, save up on faith to steal GP a turn or two before a competitor gets it.

Any civ with a unique district will be very powerful, because you can spam campuses with impunity, while still benefiting from a district with no population restrictions. Germany is also very strong because of the production boosts from hanse. Science is really a science/production victory...

Eagle Warriors are a good defensive war unit. You build a few of them plus your archers instead of builders. Goad everyone into war with you, and make sure the eagle warriors make the killing blow. You don't have to upgrade them, and promoted eagle warrior corps and armies hold their own...

This is about 6 turns from a victory, if you purchase/use the Great Engineer. The Science Victory bubble doesn't fill, even though I have completed the entire Science Tree, Launched a Satellite, and finished one Mars colonization part. v1.0.0.26

I feel your concern. This seems more like a strategy to lose in an early war than anything.

I'd put one turn towards the library, and then build an archer. After that, start getting settlers up.

Haha, they can tell their schoolchildren anything they want, as long as they get to the sweatshop every afternoon to make those hammers.

Hello

"Cede" means that the AI gives up the city you occupy as part of a peace deal. You take no additional warmongering penalty for accepting a city in peace negotiations. They can give up cities without ceding them also. For instance, if you occupy their capital, they may give up other cities in...

You can cap awful cities at 2 or 3 pop, and still get a district in. This way, it doesn't steal luxury amenities from your big producers, and they still get the benefit of the district. You can spam 2 pop cities 9 tiles from your Capital, and get a ton of hammers out of industrial districts for...

In deity especially, the AI outproduces you for a long time before you can catch up. I like to farm other civs as long as my war weariness allows. Pillage every tile, take every city down to 0 hp, kill every unit, and enslave the workers and settlers.. You can walk away from a city that isn't...
