Legend says they call it the "restart" button.

What's the second district you focus on Victoria? Campus? IZ?

Look, I'm getting around 200-220 most of the time. I tend to like playing peacefully, my last game I got 7 cities only, no place for natural parks, and a trajan nuts on culture, and I still snatched a 220 win. Are people just warring early, to get the snowball going? I doubt 150-180 is a...

I think there are unwinnable starts for everyone. How do you do that? Is it like a perfect scenario where the stars align? Natural wonder start, harvest, 4 culture CS and kilwa?

From reading your posts guys, I understand now that by "better AI" people probably mean a better interacting AI, that will make logical trades and political decisions, good usage of spies and actually pursue their win condition. I reckon most people don't want a perfectly overflow-abusing AI...

This clearly doesn't apply to everyone, but I think it stands true for most. I'm not a troll and I am in no way trying to stirr things up, but I feel like the truth should be said. If the game had a decent AI, 90% of the players couldn't enjoy it. I know it, some of you know it, and guys at...

@Jewelrunna I like reading your posts, it looks like you've put some thought into it. I think you are greatly underestimating though the impact of +3 to all units in ancient era. Also, 15% for the best wonders in the game is sooo fun. Getting that Ruhr makes my juices flow. France is waay higher...

I dont know how many deity surrounded by 3 situations you guys had, but I can tell you there's times when aztec and sumeria won't make it, cuz they don't scale well enough and the attrition is slowly killing you. That's why a civ like rome is stronger in my opinion. Fastest oligarchy in game...

It seems like my version of the game is an old one. Any idea on how to update it? Nope, I'm not using a MAC.

I'm having some trouble. The game is crushing before it loads. Might be because I have all DLCs?

There are some good things on the list, especially peter and shaka being up there. But I can't agree with a ranking system that gives both the legion and the U-boat the same 3 points. The deity games I know, legion is way more useful 95% of the time. OP is right here. Rome is one of the...

As people have stated above, the timings are situational. There is no optimal timing that works for every map. You should however use the 50% melee/settler policy card when chopping. Settling is a priority, and is more important than districts early. You can make exceptions when you get +3/+4...

They dont help that much vs lvl 3 walls, but are still OP. I never use catapults :D

As a deity only player that gets 170 turn victories from time to time (props to civtrader6 for that), I think zulu are one of the strongest civs around. The cheap ikanda means you can resist the early rushes (was surrounded by 3 AI and managed to get out on top). Also, the early powerful corps...

I think Rome is one of the most consistent civs out there, and alongside with Monte and Nubia they can win in pretty much any situations. I like to start with an encampment, settle a city for a government plaza chop and one for the iron mine boost. Around turn 50-60, you start steamrolling with...
