Feels way more convincing and more like the previous civs than before the DLC if you ask me.

I think a lot of people, like me, don't care that much about playing at the highest possible difficulty they can thrive on. I'm one of many people who hate the artificial difficulty that is very noticable above Emperor. So with all the new things added, there are more options for me to find my...

I've been thinking about dialing down my difficulty to prince or emperor and just try and challenge myself in different ways with the new game mechanics. I'm getting a bit bored of the artificial difficulty.

It's not always the best idea to build a scout first, but usually it is. Last game I managed to discover 3 extra ruins thanks to my scout. It only slows you down a bit but can give you a great start by discovering extra ruins/civs/CS's fast. I also use my scout a lot to guard my first worker...

61. Be the supersayans of hunter-gatherers and start using pottery, the wheel, animal husbandery and mining all in a days work 62. Make it rain gold 63. Pay directly for a longterm deal right before declaring war

I agree with a lot of what you said. Allthough I still prefer to play civ5 over civ4 because I just really like how easy to use the interface is. I think the 1upt system is actually pretty good (better than stacks of doom), but that it just needs some refining. You are right, especially at...

I also played all civ games. I recently started playing again with the DLC's. I love most of the changes. The interface is very well designed and intuitive. I like the combat system a lot more compared to civ4, but there are a few major kinks. 1. The biggest problem I have is how bad the AI is...

Fair enough, but I think we have a different definition when it comes to "cooking settings" since I mostly play all random and try to get creative with my strategies, which makes Deity pretty frustrating usually. All I'm saying is that some games just can not be won on deity, no matter how good...

I don't play a lot of Deity because I like to go random and proceed to do whatever I please. On Deity you have to have a gameplan and get somewhat lucky aswell. To win a totally random game on deity is rather hard and, atleast in my humble opinion, a lot of them can not be won. Every...

From that list I've played Arabia before. Those camel archers were insane, but I couldn't finish before they got outdated and I was struggling after. I might avoid those science civs then or try and get a difficult start, this was almost too easy :D

They piss me off so I usually just delete them.

Allright, thanks! The tech was rather insane if properly micromanaged. Just curious, what are some of the other top civs then? Haven't played one which was nearly as good as Korea yet. I guess Austria and Babylon can be great aswell? Regarding Austria, in this game with Korea I managed to...

So I usually just roleplay a bit by going tall and then proceeding to warmonger when provoked. Never too bothered with victory so I usually get a domination or science victory. Decided to up the difficulty and really focus on a victory type for ones. So I went with Korea on Immortal (I usually...

I'm not sure which civilization it was, I think it was korea (definatly an asian one). Very peaceful and someone was singing : "pling plong pling plong". At first I thought it was hilarious, but I've had that song stuck in my head for 3 days now :D
