PotatoMcWhiskey, @boesthius and other YouTubers have posted streams of No Settle challenges with and without zombies. TBH I was surprised nobody did a build No Units challenge as Unifier Qin. This challenge: You can't build ANY military units. No buying units either. Hiring units from clans...

Hey everyone, this week I tried something different and had a lot of fun. I struggled to win, and only got the lead in the last 10 turns or so (standard speed, HK difficulty): It's a simple idea really: force everyone to an isolated start. In this case it was 8 cultures and I created a map...

Hello everyone! I am back after a long hiatus from civ after getting busy with my new job, but decided to pick back up just in time to see a new version of VP dropped! Big fan so far btw, but anyway it wasn't long before I decided to revisit my old project from like a year ago, but with this...

As of late the more and more I play the more I see one thing utterly dominates the difference between mediocre play and sharp play above all else, and that's abusing gpt deals with the AI. Selling Strategics is the poster child of course, but there are lots of other dumb things too, like selling...

Hello all! I was doing some research in legacy cards and I read a remark about how Monarchy can be useful later than other tier 2 governments because it gives you a +50% bonus to envoy generation. Well, I had to look at that a little more closely, and yep. Even factoring in how later...

Hi Everyone! I recently started a Deity France game on Europe map (not TSL) and had this plains only start with no grassland, hills or mountains and with very few resources. A tried two strategies: 1. Settling in place and rushing to get a second Settler to move somewhere else with more...

I decided to try a tank only challenge where the rules were: Huge map Maximum amount of civs I could put on the map Deity Difficulty Continents map Epic game speed (it took me 50 turns just to get modern armor and reveal the whole map) I can only use one modern armor unit to try to take...

Greetings civ fanatics! In this episode, we answer the age old question: Is it possible to get a domination victory without founding a single city? Let's give ourselves a fighting chance and bump down the difficulty to prince and play as the Aztecs. Hopefully, the Eagle warriors will lead us...

As it stands, the AI can only win with Science Score, or Diplomacy (Is it even possible for them to win with culture? I've gone over it a dozen times, and I just don't get the culture victory at all. I understood how it worked in Civ5, but for Civ6, I just don't get it. It seems impossible.)...

Hello everyone! I've decided to share what has turned out to be a really fun and interesting challenge/scenario/setup. Basically, the idea is to play in a world that is a real frozen wasteland, where arable land and resources are very limited and civilizations have to scramble for every precious...

(Edit: I noticed that you conduct regular challenges using the buffy mod. This is probably incompatible with the way that those work and this isn't one of those official challenges - so I guess you could call this a sidequest). Hi guys, I'm not sure how many civ4 players are still out there...

What in your opinion is the most challenging game setup? I am about to win my second game on deity difficulty, this time on pangea map with old world setting, so there are less mountains. Now I am thinking what game setup would increase the difficulty of the game. One of the setting would be to...

Hi, everyone. We're gonna test which is the best path out of a frozen start. The idea is to achieve a point were we could say that our civilization is competitive enough that we no longer care about the low start. Begginning of Middle Ages will do. Settings: Vox Populi 2019-08-21 beta Standard...

Hello everyone. Summer has returned and I'm happy to have time and make another photojournal. Like my other photojournals, this is intended to be a resource to help. Please feel free to ask me questions about my choices and give me your opinion on the challenge.

Happy New Year, everyone! I bid you all, ladies and gentlemen as well as persons of nonbinary gender - welcome to Nobles' Club 203! The Nobles' Club series started out as a way for Noble-level (and below) players to improve their game. Most of the original participants now play at much higher...

The Nobles' Club series started out as a way for Noble-level (and below) players to improve their game. Most of the original participants now play at much higher levels, so this has become a way for advanced players to help others learn to play better. You can play your own game at any level and...

I was just wondering whether anyone's managed to win a Domination victory via loyalty flipping. It seems like it would be a fun challenge to try to win a Domination victory without ever declaring a war or conquering a city militarily. Obviously you'd need a smaller map and probably a lower...

So the idea is we create our own UHV Goals for the different Civs, if only to add variety to the game while still providing an at least semi-realistic method of developing a civilization. So let's say I wanted to take a page out of RFC: Europe's book and focus on France's medieval to early...

was just wondering if anyone has ever won on Deity through a science victory without using a science based civ or a pre-planned god-tier starting location.
