Went back to try new strats to keep Russia pagan, but no matter what I do - avoid having any trade connections, build pagan temples, declare war on neighbors - Orthodoxy ends up spreading to my cities. May have to do a Japan fix for this requiring World Builder, will try as the Poles and see if...

There is enough just in Africa, I quit before starting at first because I miscounted in worldbuilder and thought it would required getting them from India too

Just finished the Mali game that I started months ago even before the Congo game (I also had quit this one in despair after realizing that my canal wouldn't work.) However after jumping back into it, I think this was my favorite game ever! Reminder, this is on version 1.6, so there are lots of...

There seems to be the opposite problem with the Turks, at least on the 1700 start. I loaded it up just to get a quick look at what the Turk pagan religion is (Tengri, like the Mongols, that's a fun one). Despite there being present a religion in every city, the "don't allow more than half of...

Also sorry, I've realized a lot of my screenshots are weird and I didn't know how to properly include the spoilers tab, so I'll be cleaning up previous posts with better screenshots and formatting over break.

I am way behind on the game version, but kelebolos make me cry by how absolutely underpowered they are from the moment you get them, especially since they have to be your main unit for awhile and they have to single handedly fend off hoards of impis, an occasional camel archer that will just...

Me 8 months ago: "I think I'll start winding this down" Well that was a lie. So I've been trying to go back to older games and use them to set up good starting conditions for later civs that would otherwise start with religions, and I think I've found some bugs (probably because these civs...

Started this game several months ago and it was getting a bit tedious so I left it for awhile. What was so tedious about this particular game? As you'll see in the screenshots, I meticulously planned my city (and fort) placement from the beginning, not just for the Ivory and Gem requirements for...

I never really noticed WLTK in Civ4 until going for the Vedic Pagan URVs, and this condition is extremely difficult because I don't think the city actually stays in WLTK more than a turn at a time. In my Thai game on normal speed, I think I only had racked up 10 out of the 100 necessary turns by...

For civs that have a similar starting location and but different times, would it be possible to create one civ with multiple eras in which its possible to get a UHV? For example, say we have the Valley of Mexico civs. Right now there are 3 or 4 civs I've seen suggested - Olmecs...

Portugal has the Celtic religion as well, so it was a pretty straightforward "Get the tech for Theocracy hoping you don't get religious spread, then settle enough cities". I still finished later than the normal UHV though, but this Portugal seemed weak from the beginning compared to the rest of...

I know I said I was gonna wind this down, but I want to finish out the games I already had set up. Went back to my previous Roman Pagan setup game to tryout France - really fun militaristic game. France has quick access to Theocracy, just one tech away at the start, so that helped as well from...

I try to just not use worldbuilder basically but I've still been using a previous version where you can only switch once. Still, I try to only use the switch as set up

For me it looks like it only lasts a turn at a time

Thats amazing, how did you avoid founding Hinduism?
