I find usually you can wait until you have your 2nd or 3rd city + agoge to need to build more than an extra warrior or slinger on Immortal. I almost always start scout > slinger > settler, sometimes or scout > a few turns slinger > settler at pop 2 > finish slinger. Every once in a while I get...

I have limited experience with RV, but it seems like you get all your tools extremely early on. Other than the T2 government and a couple of nice to have wonders that come before it, theres really nothing new after apostles. Its like doing domination with only swordsmen.

You can ignore the great prophet. Faith does have its uses in a science game, but you don't need a religion to get faith. Prophets are only for founding religion. First thing I'd do is send that builder over to the sheep and put a pasture up, Jeonju needs the production badly. Specific...

Monuments are nice early because any source of culture from a city helps expand its borders, as well as getting you down the civic tree toward your first real government. I think Rome is the best starter civ because all cities start with monuments and its one less thing you have to worry about...

Don't forget Taj Mahal too. Helps ensure you are always in a golden age.

I thought of a cool possible way to earn diplo points that could be added: peacefully freeing a city state. Either by loyalty flip or convincing another civ to release it (that would need to be implemented)

That you have to renew them isnt a big deal, its how tedious it is to do so.

Norway probably has the biggest advantage because they can enter the ocean sooner. Meet other civs faster therefore more chances at the emergency RNG game.

Ideally you get a few aid events. If you can get 3 plus statue of liberty you only have to go through with two votes. Maybe just put disasters at 4? And scout, scout, scout. Need to meet all AIs and get envoys to all city states so you can get in on the action.

Its a VC the AI doesn't even compete in, they just block you at the very end. That's not a good kind of hard The concept of diplo favor itself is solid. Running alliances, suzerains...Being a suzerain for 100 turns and losing it one turn before WC is irrelevant, which is nice. The groundwork...

Stop at 7 points. Don't research seasteads tech. They will still vote against you when you have 7 but not as badly. I agree its a lousy victory condition though and the worst thing about GS

7/10 Im scoring based on did it improve the prior experience, and bottom line its a more fun game than it was before. It makes Rise and Fall seem more complete. Governors more interesting, and civs that meaningfully use loyalty. There aren't any real big game changers here, but it didn't...

Why would you hope such a thing? There is a huge problem today with people who get butthurt about something (usually without good cause) and then make it their mission to get their 'revenge' while screwing over everyone else. Like asshats who DDoS MMORPGs, which has a negative impact to...

in 2 of my 3 games was under non stop assault by rock bands. One of which was a culture win and the other was a diplo win that was close to a culture win. Seems like AI isn't clueless with these.
