    Nobles' Club 370: Napoleon of France

    I'm at Emperor (1 difficulty below Immortal). I attacked my neighbor with trebuchets in 920AD T156 and had an easy war until 1100AD T170, when my neighbor became a vassal of another nation. I then fought 1 versus 2. From T170 to T223, I lost 4 of my 5 conquered cities, then retook them. I made...

    Nobles' Club 370: Napoleon of France

    I opened it in the game. I suspect that the tundra hill 2S1W of the warrior is on the edge of the map, so there would be no ocean, and no seafood near the furs. I would settle in place unless the warrior (moving NW) finds a good tile. I don't want to waste a turn moving the settler, if there is...

    Nobles' Club 369: Huayna Capac of the Incas

    My Emperor Always Peace game ended with a Cultural Victory on 1715AD T253, normalized score 102150, now at the top of my Hall of Fame. It is also my earliest victory ever, but slower than some of your victories (without Always Peace) on the same map. My earliest victories without Always Peace...

    Nobles' Club 369: Huayna Capac of the Incas

    In my Always Peace game, I found a barb city with Archers. I had never played the Incans before this game, so this was my first time using Quechuas to attack city Archers. My 1st attack was unlucky. The Archer had City Garrison I but no hill; I had 18.3% chance to win. I lost (as I expected) but...

    Nobles' Club 369: Huayna Capac of the Incas

    It's rivers and Mining resources. Each river tile has 1 commerce. If river tiles connect 2 cities, the trade route has +1 commerce in each city. With Huayna Capac being Financial, a silver mine has 5 commerce, gem mine has 6, gold mine has 7. My Mining resources are I should build some...

    Nobles' Club 369: Huayna Capac of the Incas

    I'm at Emperor difficulty and turned on Always Peace. My game will be different, with no wars against other civs; but I will still fight barbarians. I might put my 1st city on the marble and my 2nd city on the river to the west, so my plan is to move my Quecha 1SW to begin mapping the river...

    Nobles' Club 339: Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire

    Hi. I am returning to Civ4 after almost a year. My last victory in Civ4 was in October 2022, in Nobles' Club 287 (Mao Zedong), and was also my only win at Emperor difficulty. I am dropping down to Monarch. I want to chop forests, so my first build is a Worker. I research Mining, Bronze Working...

    Here is why I give up on civ 6

    I'm playing my 1st game of Civ6 (in Dec 2021). It's vanilla "1.2.14 (226347)" for Nintendo Switch. Like you, I'm finding almost no defense in AI civs. I have played Civ4, and I knew in advance that Civ4 has a much stronger AI than Civ5 or Civ6, so I expected a drop in difficulty. I did Play Now...

    Nobles' Club 289: Willem van Oranje of the Netherlands

    My game reaches Caravels and I meet all AI civs. I begin to read the spoilers of other players.

    Nobles' Club 289: Willem van Oranje of the Netherlands

    Thanks everyone for using the spoiler markup. I don't open your spoilers, but begin my game at Emperor difficulty, knowing almost nothing about the map.

    Nobles' Club 289: Willem van Oranje of the Netherlands

    I played a game where I spied on Willem van Oranje, as he built the Dike in every coastal city. I saw his hammers: 1 on each water tile, as if Willem had the Moai Statues in every city! Willem can't build any Dike until he learns Steam Power, so the question is whether he can survive long enough...

    Nobles' Club 287: Mao Zedong of China

    I get a Diplomatic Victory via the United Nations in 1860 AD T300, before the end of the war. This is my 1st win at Emperor, normalized score = 51529 (2nd, behind my Domination Victory at Monarch in NC270 Napoleon).
