I will stop voting in this thread in the future, I feel like it no longer represents anywhere near my tastes, especially with Mongolia taking a beating and James Bond Brazil being so high. I still believe Brazil is the worst theme in the fray and Mongolia is the best, but Pedro will probably...

Arabia - 18 Brazil - 14-3=11 Byzantium - 12 England - 19 Indonesia - 13 Mongolia - 13 Poland - 13-3=10 Shoshone - 6+1=7 Spain - 16 Sweden - 19 Is Brazil still here? Sorry fanboys, but it's just not a wartheme. There are way, way better pieces out there that have fallen before this...

I haven't got the Promised Land victory yet, but I did get the Transcendence, Emancipation and Contact victories. And I have to say...boy, I am disappointed. Research stuff. Build wonder. Wait x turns. Win. All 3 (I assume 4) of them. Sure, there is some difference between them...

I do not doubt the other affinities have their own benefits, but how can those bonuses compete for the massive science Supremacy can pump out? Harmony might have an easier victory condition, but I will get my 13 affinity way before them, and Purity might have a very strong 4 affinity unit, but I...

So you don't think Supremacy has a lot higher science yield potential than others?

I've been wondering what the most effective way is to rank up science and culture quickly and the answer is.... Supremacy! With Purity, I had 18 affinity at turn 350, with Supremacy I had it by 250. My science count was triple of my purity game. I had about 7-12 policies in all 4 trees...

No idea :P But no, I don't want to build infinite trade routes, I was just wondering if it's possible to get more of them, since unlike in Civ 5, I can't just scroll through the tech tree (or web) and count for 100% how many trade routes I can have, thanks to the sneaky upgrades that you only...

I think you can get the Harmony T3 Artillery to ignore obstacles AND have a range of 3, but I could be mistaken. That makes them much more effective than their predecessors and it's basically a Rocket Artillery (Civ5) comeback.

Arabia - 16 Brazil - 15-3=12 Byzantium - 20 Dutch - 13+1=14 England - 23 Indonesia - 19 Mongolia - 19 Poland - 21 Shoshone - 13 Spain - 22 Sweden - 22 I don't believe how I'm actually helping William, but he really REALLY should be in the top 10 if anything. So yeah, Brazil. I read up on...

Dellan, thank god I have AdBlock installed, so I could kill that picture. And there was much rejoicing.

Polynesia get +2 in their capital. Trading posts give +2. Autogates (? is that what they are called?) give +1 if you choose that quest reward (and why wouldn't you?) Is there any more ways to increase the number of trade routes?

So there is no easy way to get science? In Civ5, I always prioritised writing, philosophy, education, scientific theory and plastics. If I wanted culture, I went drama and poetry, acoustics etc... and spammed wonders. Imho the tech web is a ton more complex than the tech tree and I'm...

In Civ5, early NC than a beelined Oxford University was the way to go to get ahead in tech, coupled with high pop and ideally mountains and jungle tiles+rationalism. What is the way to go in this game? I got 18 purity affinities by turn 350 in my first game with Africans+settlers, I assume that...

Are you sure? Does that not mean a denounciation snowball and no trade for 100 turns?

Arabia - 21 Brazil -19-3=16 Byzantium - 20 Dutch - 21 England - 18+1=19 Indonesia - 19 Mongolia - 21 Poland - 21 Shoshone - 21 Spain - 22 Sweden - 22 Brazil isn't even a war theme at all. At least not in comparison to the others. I'm away for a day and people start punching...
