I agree, this game is just as bad as Beyond Earth. I can't even finish a game, it is just too boring and visually they took a step back from Civ V. This will be the last game in the franchise I purchase on launch. The AI doesn't do anything, instead the world is just a sandbox. Deity used to be...

I believe these forums frown upon elitist attitudes/posts. The original post is asking how he can remedy this and telling them they "are doing it wrong" is in NO WAY constructive. Sorry for hi-jacking but this attitude is becoming more predominant on an otherwise very friendly and helpful...

Restart and Autosave are my major road-blocks to improving my gameplay especially playing on Immortal or Deity. I rarely take a "bad start" or learn from playing through my mistakes if it a game on higher difficulty.

I have a terrible problem of loading autosaves (especially Immortal and Deity) and wonder building seems to be the enabler. When I miss that wonder by 1-3 turns I tend to load an autosave 5-25 turns earlier and try to get the wonder by working more hammer tiles, chopping trees, forcing a golden...

Technologies become cheaper as you meet other civilizations which have researched them.

I have played several games where I fill the Liberty tree entirely and ignore the Tradition tree. It may slow down your opener but it makes getting that first great person quicker. This strategy is usually employed when I am attempting a militaristic type game with early conquest and the...

The biggest drawback of the Japan UU building fishing boats is the fact that by the time you unlock samurai you would 99% of the time have your work boats built.

My friend is new to the game and we are both giving GOTM #68 a try. He started off declaring war on pretty much everybody including his neighbors and the city states he met. I explained how warmongering works and tried to explain to him, "If you just wait a while they will eventually hate you...

First time GOTM because I usually suffer from CASD (Compulsive Auto Save Disorder). I settled in place because I wasn't sure what type of map it was and there was enough food around the start location. At turn 96 I have 4 small cities that are boxing in the Shoshone and I have almost met all...

1. People learn from mistakes 2. Many players have been able to step up their game play by several difficulties watching Mad's LPs, his narration explains why he does things and what his goals are 3. Mad always has a positive and helpful attitude, his LPs can be viewed by new players to old...

Pay someone else to fight him or pay him to fight someone else if you don't use honor tree ;)

Until you have a declaration of friendship you can only trade for gold/turn. Without any diplomatic penalties, an AI will give you 6 gold/turn for a luxury resource.

Make sure you are working your maximum number of trade routes. The earlier you are able to develop them the more stable your economy will be. Here's a few tips I have come across since BNW launched: 1. Trade initial AI embassies for 1 gold/turn instead of embassy for embassy. You can scout...
