    Optimal number of cities for a culture win

    I found three to be a pretty good number (and 3-5 a nice range). I build 3 early cities and a guild in each one, have each city specialize in a certain great person. I also never run out of room for great works with 3 cities, especially with all the wonders I build

    Assyria discussion

    Assyrias UU is crazy powerful. It laughs at cities. A battering ram only better! And the great library helps you not only militarily and with science, but it also prevents against late game ideology unhappiness with the tourism stuff. Assyria is now one of my favorite civs in this game.

    So Tradition vs Liberty

    I went Tradition all the time in G&K. Now that BNW is here, I go almost exclusively Liberty in the early game. My capital is now spending the early game making trade routes and units to defend myself. I don't have time to build a settler or a worker, and certainly don't have the gold to buy...

    Liberty in BNW

    I have actually had huge success with Liberty in BNW where I never used it in G&K. With having to get the early trade routes, it allows you to set up your economy without having to worry about building a worker or your second settler. A huge help in establishing an early empire i think.

    Things you wish you'd known before your first BNW game

    Little life hack here, if you move your mouse over the #for the theming bonus (like the +0 thing) a text screen will pop up telling you the theming bonus needed. I don't know why everyone is guessing, I've never had a problem with this And what I wish i knew: - You should prioritize getting...

    Sick of people making excuses for 2000 years of peace

    I really don't see what OP is complaining about. Here's a rundown of the game sI played so far 1. Shaka DoW me at least 4 times at Pocatello 2. No DoW, I was playing as Brazil, but Ramses and Poland had a grand ole' time fighting each other almost the entire game 3. I was playing as Poland...

    Venice, science and culture

    I had the same problem when I tried to play Venice (I quit around the industrial era). I just couldn't figure out what way to win with them aside from domination. It just seems like their setup works against every other type of VC Diplomatic - they get rid of all the votes when they puppet...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Most of us are still trying to figure out the best strategies, but here's what i've found from the few culture games i've played 1. Have at least three cities each with a guild in them and run specialists in those guilds 2. Any wonder that has a free great work or great...

    Most competent BNW AI

    So far Poland and Shaka have been the most runaway of the new civs I have played. I am playing a game with Poland right now that and am having an incredibly difficult time

    Do we want a third expansion and/or more DLC for Civ 5?

    This is the only reason I would be in favor of Civ 6. I have always wanted this feature in the game and hope that it does eventually get implemented. But unless that happens I hope they just focus on CiV right now. Maybe some amped-up DLC instead of ust a civ here and there. A DLC with a few...

    Which new civs do you think will be the hardest to play against ?

    I picked Assyria, Morocco and the Shoshone. Assyria because a science/war civ is always a powerful feat to behold. Morocco because they will simply buy the game given enough time. And Shoshone because they will take all the land and get an early game jump start on you

    Are you more encouraged than ever to play until post Info-Era?

    I'm not more encouraged really. I almost always go science win and that requires you to play till the end anyways. I am looking forward to the later turns being spiced up though. Towards the end of the game it always turns into just killing turns until you win, and this might just change that.

    Nations you have to hate, and ones you have to love.

    Hate: Cathage - Every time I see Carthage in a game I groan and immediately prep for war. She's so two faced, I assume she's about to go to war every time she makes a DoF with me, and I'm right a lot of the time. France - always being a little sh*t to me Iriquois - Oh you're on another...

    My way of having fun on Civilization 5

    This is my favorite way to play civ. I do it on a small map, 22 players, and leave no victory conditions on but Domination just to see who comes out on top (at least before I crush them)

    A Mod of Ice and Fire

    Hey VirtuaBoza. Let me just say I love your mod! I love seeing all the ASOIAF characters, but it is still competitive and plays out just like a normal civ game. Best of both worlds! A couple things I thought of you might want to consider adding in the future 1) Bravos as a maritime city state...
