    Yeah. I also re-rolled this map until I had titanium, which helps a lot. :) Cheating, yes, but it was just an OCC trial game. Nice. Thanks. ;)

    We want to hear from YOU

    Not a bad survey. One extra message to 2k: while I'm very likely to buy Civ 6, I think I might wait a few years after release. I gave both Civ 5 and BE a good year - in both cases it wasn't quite long enough. Compelling game mechanics are just that important :)

    One City Challenge

    This is a good catch, and something that must have been patched. I definitely over-invested in spy traits in my game and noticed no improvement beyond the 4 turn minimum. I'm not sure about delaying buildings while waiting for the quests pops. Are you sure these are not independent? Not...

    TSG 122 Opening actions thread

    Ashurbanipal declared war on me! The main problem with this is that it will prevent a furs hook-up that I was counting on. I'll have to build a few War Chariots too. Too bad. I went for a 5-city initial build, now I'm regretting not going for 6 or 7. Added Great Lib and Artemis. Education...

    Unhealth and Wide Empires

    I agree. I don't like to go below -20 even during the early expansion phase as it often takes too long to recover. This usually means 5 initial cities followed shortly by 2 or 3 more. In BERT health is only a soft cap on early ICS. Later it is the Science and Culture penalties that prevent...

    @stormtrooper Any experiences from actually playing should be removed from this thread :) Thanks.

    TSG 122 Announcement

    While it likely won't beat out Liberty, those Burial Tombs make this more compelling than normal. Lovely UB.

    The Community Deity Game #2 - Assyria

    For (B) what exactly constitutes a "friendly" AI? And what does "help" mean, exactly? I assume gifting a capital doesn't count, right? I'll probably just choose a subset of these since herding cats is frustrating :)

    One City Challenge

    I was attacked by Daoming and several others were threatening. The map helped here: 1) I am (luckily) fairly far away from the AIs (never saw any PAC units) 2) I used civ 5 MP city placement -> built non-coastal so I am immune to sea units :)

    So I played a quick OCC. It showed ARC spies are just about as crazy as I thought. t147 Promised Land Victory on OCC/Apollo/Standard

    Community Deity Game #1 - Persia

    Yeah, I think you need at least 4 of (Liberty GA, Taj, Chichen, Aesthetics GA, Aesth Artist, Louvre, WF) so that GA turns aren't the bottleneck. I didn't think about the Louvre artist until after my game. For very fast games getting 4 natural artists might be a problem.

    Nice. I haven't tried this yet, but I was leaning towards ARC -> Promised Land.

    TSG88 After Actions

    I remember this map -> it was tricky to explore fully before Satellites. How did that go for you?

    Audio Problems since Spoils of War Patch

    I have BERT installed on two machines - one of which has this problem since the last patch. Immersion breaking for sure.

    Affinities are (still) a nonsensical wash.

    Having a chance at an alien artifact from a nest, inside your territory, with "blue" aliens, would make sense. In my harmony games I always feel a little bad when the moment comes to pillage those nests. Agreed.
