I rolled a pangaea specifically because I'm not super into galley hopping. RNGesus apparently had other plans. At least land barbs were easy to keep under control :rolleyes: And just in case anyone's wondering why I haven't expanded further, this was a chill culture game.

Turn 274 cultural victory. I chose the hammer site and in retrospect, it was a good choice. The commerce site was absolute garbage and the food site had Toku's capital right next door. The lack of food in the capital did slow me down, but I managed to build a compact 6-city empire. Most of the...

I don't think I've ever played a game where I had both marble and stone in my starting BFC. I might go NE just to experience that. If only SB was industrious. Still, being philosophical and having these resources, I'm tempted to try some culture shenanigans.

It's been a long time since I played one of these. I really wanted to participate, but unfortunately I didn't have time to finish the game properly. Real life gets in the way of video games. I subbed an incomplete game (according to the auto-message, the submisson was actually late, so don't...

My current character's very first action, after he became of age, was to murder his dear old mother so he could inherit her claim on the neighboring kingdom. The best part? The neighbor king died of old age and a faction within that kingdom started a civil war to put my character on the throne...

I bought Civ V a couple of weeks ago. Here are my biggest complaints after two finished games: Cultural borders give 1 visibility, most land units move 2 tiles. This means a lot of worker-babysitting if you want to make sure you don't move them in range of a hostile. The unhappiness...

David Bowie's "Space Oddity" Beyond Earth trailer goes with everything, Guile's theme goes with everything. You see where this is going.

Haven't played one of these in a while. Maybe I'll give this one a go. I think I'll go directly against your advice. Yeah, they will be more prepared if they know there's a hostile civ in the fog, but I'd still like to know the map. Remind me, how does the spy mechanic work in Warlords...

Sorry to disappoint you guys but I think I'll retire. At least for now. This was actually my first succession game, so this was all pretty much new to me. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this play mode as much as I thought it would. Maybe I join another game later, but for now I'll go warm the...

T 175 - 182

To me, it looks like we have a new cycle going here, which goes something like this: - RobertFin - Sampsa - Sinimusta - Jouzou which would mean I'm up next. Everyone OK with that? I could play today. Although I don't have much of a plan beyond rallying the troops and attacking the Inca. I agree...

I'm a bit confused who's up next. Surely not Sampsa since he just finished a set? Maybe Sinimusta since there are 4 of us now and we (me, Robbe and Sampsa) played one set each after his last time.

I usually try to meet all the civs on the other continent and assess the diplo situation before I run to greet someone with open arms. Even if we will be at war with them eventually, we probably won't be DOWing all of them at once. About the AP stopping war: If we attack while she's the...

T 140-151: Edit: Spoiler tags

Looks like I don't have any big decisions to make. I guess I'll just keep building military. Ur and Nibru need garrison units, though. And a couple of missionaries to spread the good word of Yhwh. I'm also planning to whip Ziggies in places that don't have them yet (except cap). I assume Moai...
