Yes, Vanilla VI. Right off of Steam with no added purchases. Picked it up in a sale some time back. So you're suggesting... the base Art Tourism...
Played tons of II/III/IV, barely any V, and this is my first real game of VI, Vanilla. Playing for a Cultural Victory on Prince with Pedro. I'm...
I just picked up Civ V Complete, a mere six years late to the party. Played 1000's of hours of II-IV. I'm playing a few games of Vanilla before...
I think the answer to the title question is probably yes, but I'm curious to hear others' experiences. I've been playing Emperor for quite a while...
Defensive units don't contribute to your power rating as well as offensive ones. When in doubt, build an Axe and not an Archer. You're wasting a...
In border cities on Emperor I probably have 3 units, more if I think a DOW is imminent or if there's only a 1 hex cultural buffer. Take advantage...
Maybe I'm out of practice from not playing much over the last year. Or maybe I just suck at being Mongolian. But I've been getting my butt kicked...
I've played hundreds of hours of every version since Civ2. All were tremendous fun in their time, but I can't imagine going back from Civ4 BTS to...
You just have a lot left to learn, OP. Civ4 is a much deeper game than just about anything else out there - I've played it semi-regularly since it...
I'm in the middle of an attempt at an isolated Emperor culture win with Monty (hah!) and noticed one point not yet mentioned here. The Shwedegon...
Yeah... which is Level 4, qualifying you for Heroic Epic.
Yeah... I suppose I'm really boring, but I play Standard Continents. All the time. A hundred games by now at least. Every now and then I generate...
An isolated start tends to exacerbate the economic difficulties that differentiate Emperor from Monarch. I don't think it's harder per se, but...
I agree. Overgarrisoning your cities is a great way to waste hammers and coins. I wouldn't leave a city with a single defender on a border of a...
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. Now that the war's over, I went ahead and verified it with WB as well. So yeah... no point in...
Ah... sorry. I'd never tried it. I only got the expansions recently and have played just a few games with them. Apologies for the misinformation....
Basically true. The addition of vassals in the expansions makes Conquest somewhat harder. If you push a Civ too hard and don't accept their...
Well, there are a lot of buildings that are useful for any city. Courthouses are very important for reducing maintenance costs and producing...
Like the title says... does the presence of a friendly spy make enemy missions more difficult or more expensive? The Civilopedia kind of suggests...
Aha... there it is. That makes everything fit. I was aware of the trade route modifiers, but didn't realize that a foreign trade route could ever...
