Since BE sucks I still frequently visit Civ V at least once a month usually for a game or two. Some mods got me interested in checking them out though like the community patch and the Enlightenment era. Then I also realized that in my 880 hours on Civ 5 there was only one scenario I actually...

I agree the Netherlands can be a situational Civ but usually even with a capital that doesn't have opportunity for Polders, you can often build some Polders in your second, third or fourth cities assuming you're not playing on some weird map that's designed to be all plains or tundra, something...

Outside of the obvious Civs that for the most part are easy mode being Poland, Maya, Babylon and Korea I really like the Netherlands on Deity. Unlike the already listed civs they can be pretty situational but if you can get a handful of Polders on marshes or flood plains they can be pretty damn...

Probably the most odd thing I ever saw happen... I was playing a Deity game as Egypt I believe , it was currently before the Renaissance era even and a Shoshone city, one of there biggest as well (Agaidika) ended up flipping to my Civilization. It was the only time I had seen a city flip before...

No one mentioned Arabia? They get lots of extra resources from their UB and can make lots of extra gold selling those resources

Domination: Present, no one but historically Rome. There Empire lasted longer then the Mongols. Cultural: America is currently the strongest followed by France and Japan. Science: America, might change in like a decade. Diplomatic: Impossible to say I guess one of the five permanent UN...

Ramhamtrollface - is a troll in my games as well Napoleon - honestly this guy is probably the biggest psycho always declares war and then expands towards you and thinks you're getting to close to him Elizabeth - She's a <snip> Please do not try to defeat the auto censor. Swear word removed.

I believe Siam has an ability where any units he gets gifted from city states will have some XP already on them. Also I think when Hiawatha gets railroad his ability where his forest tiles act as roads will now have the effects of a railroad. But idk this is sort of a given not really hidden...

Yeah don't play quick pace from experience it's harder and for me not as fun

The game does this but because of the map there sometimes isn't always a great spot for everyone to get your start bias, I notice if you mess around with the resource settings (like make more on the map) then the start bias works less I found. Some Civs get priority though I believe like I...

I'm by no means an expert, I just played my first deity game and won but I just never found the AI to be smart on lower difficulties, they rarely fight or even expand well and when they do fight it's easy to out maneuver them. Getting the tech lead is simple and you can get almost every wonder...

Just started Deity myself and the killer instinct aspect of the AI is the biggest challenge like some here said. But in playing Poland (OP) and I got Salt start (no re rolls either) with Lake Victoria 6 tiles from capital and I'm isolated from the rest of the continent by a span of 4 mountains...

Culture always do my best, Tourism it depends if I'm probably going to threatened by losing to someone else's culture or ideology if going for a peaceful victory myself. If Brazil is in the game and is the only culture focused AI and I don't do something that's bad times. If there's a bunch of...

They suck on ever difficulty that's not the top 2 IMO.

Greece but Poland and the Netherlands are up there
