My fix (not going to happen): Firaxis should make it mandatory for anyone working on AI behavior and game balance to spend 2 working hours everyday playing the game. Then there’s the original sin here: everything in this game is designed as if one would want to go tall. The AI goes tall...

Have you considered a self-imposed 5-city challenge? Didn’t 5CC use to be a thing in past Civ games?

Have city sizes dropped after conquest before this patch? This is something I am used to since CivI, but I don't remember seeing it in Civ6. I conquered a size 2 city only to find that my new acquisition was at size 1, and more importantly, I finished Gorgo by taking Sparta, with 10 pop... and...

So, my small experiment with OCC played in the ”WOOCC” style (Wear´em-off-one-city-challenge) is over. Short story, victory in turn 463 (Prince, so not a big achievement). Long story? Much learnt about play possibilities, victory conditions and the final turns; and much learnt about what not to...

No escort formation, just in the same hex. It was a biplane, BTW, not a fighter. My bad.

I just had my siege tower damaged (strafed) by a fighter while stacked with a conquistador. The conquistador was not hit, apparently. I guess it is the same feature/bug? This is post patch with absolurely zero mods (never used one). The game was started pre-patch, though. P.S. yep, they use...

So it is now tested. You can keep the city as long as it is in the same turn you make peace. Then, once you make peace, the city becomes available to trade, so you trade it away in the same turn, classic pure OCC rules. And there is a much better reason to do this than creating wars between...

That's awesome, pahakuutti, congratulations! So the answer to whether a OCC victory on Deity in standard maps is possible is a resounding yes! Awesome workaround the tech limit! Did you have to send your army away to escort your religious units? How many hours did the game take, if I may ask...

Ha, interesting! When I played I didn't really know the mechanics of a culture victory yet,so didn't worry about it much... now that I reloaded that game, I had 80% of the needed tourists and the target was hardly moving at all, and only Pericles was preventing the culture victory. I still had 2...

Hello everybody. First post here, long time lurking (since the amazing Civ3´s War Academy). And now that I’ve conquered deity, thanks to the excellent help to be found over here, it is time to explore more creative versions of the game. I’ve searched and read everywhere and I cannot find...
