Why is there no Mecca in the 600AD start? Islam now had to start in Damascus.

You need to contact Japanese, Javanese, Mali, and Swahili at all times (basically contact everyone) to sell techs and connect trades. Use the advanced start points to grow Jerusalem to 4 pop so that you can guarantee a Great Prophet. Steal at least 4 workers from the Turks and build road from...

Arabia UHV is finally winnable again!! What an awesome gift for the Eid lmao. Byzantine is now collapsing much less often, and they seem to start with more workers? They build the Salt quarry faster so I can't capture their workers anymore. Not a big issue anyway. However I don't see their...

I dont like attacking Greeks early, better to wait for them to complete their wonders. Macedonians are predictable, each stacks lose to 3 Skirmishers and 2 Swordsmen. The Hittites gives me lot of problem early game. Hulugannis and Archers on hills aren't something we can easily defeat with few...

Austronesian civ representing ancient era version of Polynesian gameplay. Starting Date: 3000BC in Taiwan (Dadun?) Leader: No idea, probably some Taiwanese or Philippines legendary figures. Unique Power: City tile provides +Food, +1 Production, and +1 Commerce for 15 turns. UU 1...

China has a conqueror army?? Or is every civ got feature like this where they suddenly spawn units and catapults to attack cities out of their expansion area?

Suddenly the third UHV doesn't feel hard at all after seeing this advice, or maybe i'm just lucky lol

I don't mind if Ghazi moved from the Arabs to any Central-West Asian Muslim civs but Mujahidin could work too I guess.

Thanks, I always try to settle Delhi before my 2 other core cities and this strategy seems to work favorably for me so far. Barbarians aren't any problem as long as they spawn in the West. For Kushans they always attack with 7 Asvaka (used to be 4), so placing 7 Spearmen and few Swordsmen on the...

TIL we can flip Delhi on the first turn if AI Harappa survives. 🤯 On a related note, do you guys think India can flip independent Delhi using culture brute force alone like Chengdu? Or were the only regular ways to get Delhi is by settling / using Swordsmen?

Anybody got a list of what barbarian and independent cities currently appearing in China gameplay? I feel like there's some independents that doesn't get to show up in my China playthrough in place of my own settled city like Yunnan. I didn't realize there are Bai and Shu units until I play as...

it is the most difficult UHV I believe. Back in 1.16 nobody claimed to beat the 600AD UHV after 3 years of its addition. Personally I would wait until the 1.18 is more polished before trying the current 600AD UHV again. Maybe the 3000AD UHV is achievable with prebuilding and switching civs?

Build Al Haram mosque in turn 15, steal Byzantine workers early to fasten improvements, conquer Turkestan for quick cash, whip spies in Turkestan, conquer Herat, and connect the road from Persia to Turkestan. Release Turkestani cities when you're done whipping. Send spy to contact Japan...

After playing more and more as the Indians on the latest build it is clear that the Huna Horse Archers are almost no threat at all lol. 2 Archers with Walls are usually enough. Vedic barbarians give me much more headache whenever they spawn in the North, preventing me from building between...

I can't even build 15 temples in time, let alone 25. You guys are amazing.
