I have yet to lose a game due to religion. I play Immortal Standard normally, and I generally don't even build a holy site let alone found a religion. All of my games so far have been Culture or Science victories. Many could have been Domination, but it feels a bit unfair beating up the AI...

Okay......I could make the stretch of Sewers providing Amenities because Amenities seem to include health.....but I draw the line at Sewers producing food! ;) Then again....maybe it could be considered fertilizer? How about a prereq for gunpowder? ;)

I am curious what other people's experience with sewers has been. For me, it seems that every game that I get them, I either already have Neighborhoods that get me more housing, or if not, can use an Aqueduct to bridge the gap until I do. In both tall and wide games, they seem to be the...

The one thing I noticed in those SS was that he had revealed 3 camps in the first one. I have learned the hard way that when I reveal one camp, I need to deal with it ASAP. A Warrior can take out a camp solo, although you generally need a few turns to heal in between attacks. I like that I...

These are the changes I would experiment with: Scale District cost to the amount of cities in your Empire. Reduce the contribution of Population to Science by 50%. This would make Campuses more attractive, as well as give specific advantages to going wide or tall. I considered scaling costs...

I think if Tech was more costly, it may balance out nicely.

My only problem with the doubling one is that I always seem to find it in the Tundra. It has happened so often that I was starting to think it was a location bias for it.

Cleo reminds me so much of an old ex, especially her neutral look. Beware of Cleo.

I do well on Immortal w/ 5-7 cities. I generally prefer that to 15+ just to avoid all the micro.

Thank you both for the replies and explanations. It makes perfect sense once you explained why it would not work. And it seems like the process is not really viable for most other games either.

DonQuiche, good explanations. I will take your word for it that it is not feasible. I guess I was thinking too much like a human. In most games I have my next turn planned out and make adjustments as necessary. Of course, as a human, it is easier for me to make those minor adjustments then...

Maybe this is a silly question, but does the AI do any work on our turns? If not, why not? I know that combat would have to wait until the AI's turn, but what about decisions such as build orders and tech choices? Most of those decisions are made mostly in a vacuum, or at the very least...

Honestly, the OP seems pretty sincere to me. He is spamming a bit, but I get the sense of someone that is truly disappointed and is expressing it as opposed to a troll that is just trying to stir things up.

Pros - Districts Policy Cards Envoys Builder Changes Cons - Poor AI, specifically in combat Various bugs UI There are other points, but I think these are the big ones on both sides.

It has been a long time since I played CIV but the reason I was happy to see SOD go away was because it felt like SOD took away some of the diversity in combat. As I remember it (And I may misremember) it was generally best to have one massive stack that would destroy everything in it's path...
