    The Pauper's Challenge

    Reading through this challenge is quite funny. Abusing Gpt deals mostly comes from the mechanic about "acceptable range". The player is incentivized to make consecutive small trades because of the flat acceptable range for each trade deal. This coincided with the fact that AI has a flat cap of...

    [VidLP] Mongolia t161 Domination Win (Patch 12-1, Deity, Standard Size/Quick Speed, Hellblazer's Pangaea)

    uh... in the capital settle? I get it that this sort of comment comes becomes I'm not commentating, but realistically just look at the tiles without any further information. I want you to tell me which tile is just better to settle here settling right is better in nearly every way considering...

    [VidLP] Mongolia t161 Domination Win (Patch 12-1, Deity, Standard Size/Quick Speed, Hellblazer's Pangaea)

    a couple reasons part of this is experimentation because the yields for way of the pilgrim was nerfed this patch. I had a very reasonable chance to get borbordor before others with 2 science city-states nearby. what borbordor means is that my faith basically converts to culture at about a...

    Alternative Difficulty Settings

    Oh I just read your other thread and I just thought that flattening the curve is not such a bad thing. I totally agree with you that stuff like pushing A/B/C to make the game "harder" is a pretty bad experience, but not so far as to say it should be totally removed. There is actually one prime...

    Alternative Difficulty Settings

    Regardless, Deity is due for a difficulty pass really. there is a lot of leeway in the game difficulty right now. From my perspective, a difficulty rebalance to %reductions is not what I want for a good time though... Something like lowering production percentage to like 65% and giving back...

    [VidLP] Mongolia t161 Domination Win (Patch 12-1, Deity, Standard Size/Quick Speed, Hellblazer's Pangaea)

    Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhXXY8MGnOWDBj9LAGw-p_xFda-7iOufd I'm playing on an old laptop, so recording in strategic view is what i got. No commentary, but really just looking back at it for reference makes the video at least valuable to me =D So playing mongolia and...

    Deity snowballers discussion

    I think the strategic prices is an issue because the trade price of strategics are not updating. Like i think somewhat recently strategics are limited to close to 1 per trade in the ui, i'm not sure by who. However after accepting the deal, the trade price for the strategic doesn't change when...

    Traditional Progress: An Alternative Opening

    in 6-19-2 this is what i did earlier today on the contrast poland save, i used IGE to get progress tree in Turn 1 than in turn 2 i got tradition through ige. (Did you maybe get progress then tradition at the same turn? That will not give any science for the new citizens from tradition)

    Traditional Progress: An Alternative Opening

    okay I double checked with ingameditor, you definitely get 40 science after taking tradition rather than 20. it is only 1 yield notification but the game properly notices 2 pop growths in the cap. so its not a problem

    Traditional Progress: An Alternative Opening

    huh when i think about it taking tradition first and then progress that makes a lot more sense than the other way around as the 10 extra science isn't that worthwhile compared to the addition production/food/gold from the extra citizens in the beginning. but i guess going progress first then...

    Is it dishonourable to restart a game?

    oh the ai isn't given an advantage in startloc. huh I was my mistaken then, so 50% starting locpercent https://civ-5-cbp.fandom.com/wiki/AI_and_Difficulty means its random i see. not sure how that works. does it roll through the list of civs and do the coin flip? and i thought some civs were...

    Is it dishonourable to restart a game?

    playing legendary start really solved the issue of restarting for me, also some good balanced custom maps like hellblazer map packs. those two together makes me play nearly every game through (unless im just tired of the game) without wanting to restart. anyways, when playing higher...

    Contrast Photojournal, Everyone Welcome

    I think going for freshwater settles is okay to go for and i couldn't find that many hills with freshwater. Anyways, I think converting food into production isn't that hard for many of the cities, so food seems generally equal in value with production? The thing with going for the early dip in...

    Contrast Photojournal, Everyone Welcome

    err, well i changed my timezone and that fixed the rng of siam. So, just to be clear, I'm going into this as like my third try. There's a lot of hindsight and prior knowledge as I'm working off of everyone's playthrough here. First one i gave up on like t70 because progress really isn't great at...

    Contrast Photojournal, Everyone Welcome

    does anyone else have siam get their first settler stolen turn 2 by barbarians when loading the save? maybe a freaky rng for me when loading the save. Ill try again and post a little later
