    Why Can I Never Get Incan Starts Like This?

    Depends if you’re going wide or tall. In a typical tradition start, I’m picking the pantheon that will boost my capital the most, even if it means no pantheon yields for my other cities. One time I was playing Rome, only had 2 faraway neighbours so I picked progress. My pantheon choice ended up...

    Your favorite diplomatic civ

    Having a nice city state alliance chain can be deadly in wars and result in lucrative trades. Controlling the world congress can cripple your enemy and boost your own strengths. Overall one of the most enjoyable play styles imo. Lots of civs can do good with statecraft. My favourites are Venice...

    Venice

    I’ve noticed Venice is usually dead last by a big margin in most of my games. It appears the AI is set on picking Progress instead of Tradition, which really gimps Venice.. is there anyway to force the AI to go Trad? I would love to try and ally Venice but they’re always losing so hard.

    Going for Gold: Pantheons

    Which pantheons would everyone say can consistently found a religion every game? I find when I go tradition-stonehenge-goddess of beauty, I am either first or second founder. Then vice versa when I take a tile based pantheon, like earth mother for example, I am scraping faith to hopefully be the...

    Assyria!

    With Assyria’s synergy with GW’s in mind, is it ever worth it taking Progress instead of Tradition? Tradition will give you more pop, more culture, more GW’s.. all necessary for the Royal Library to shine. Is this line of thinking too absolute for civ?

    Deity Songhai Playthrough

    I agree with warmongering being exciting early game and boring late game. Lots of fun early units such as mancavs, legions, hoplites, slingers, Jaguars, but there’s not a lot in the late game. The only one that comes to mind is the Panzer. I have been looking into 3/4UC, do you have any...
