world congress

World War 1 and 2, as Events that begin in the World Congress, likely in the Modern and Atomic Age: The conflicts will exist between the player with the highest game score, and the second highest game score, regardless of whether they are allies. The events happen automatically, putting the...

Had this happen in one of my games a few days ago and was wondering if this is a bug or a deliberate tactic by the AI. It's confusing as it seems as thought the AI is essentially voting to punish itself.

Kings Landing to exist in game... as a city on turn 0... ruled by random player. All other players receive something else in compensation, perhaps a free settler. Presumes to rule over the whole game world... able to demand tributes successfully, all players must comply with tributes or declare...

Is there anyway to reenable nuclear weapons if a Civ is embargoed at the World Congress? Specifically thinking rogue states like North Korea would be a real world example. It would be a nice counterweight to barring nations from world trade imo. I'm poking around some of the lua events but I'm...

I've been thinking about the sanctions proposals and some other ideas that have been floated around and I think I've been approaching this from the wrong angle. Instead I'd like to start a thread to collect as many ideas as possible for new World Congress proposals or changes to existing...

@LifeOfBrian and @DoctuhD have made a suggestion to split the Sanctions resolution which I really like. Here is the proposal, with a few modifications from me: Sanctions will be split into two resolutions, Economic Sanctions and Diplomatic Sanctions. Only one of the two can be placed on a civ...

Policies and wonders that give free spies and WC votes scale with the number of CS in the game Right now, the scaling on these bonuses fluctuates based on adding/removing CSs over the course of the game. This means the power of these bonuses can increase/decrease through player action. You...

This is the official thread to post about how great the new World Congress AI is! But seriously I'd expect there to be some issues/weirdness (thanks to @looorg for finding quite a few already) so let me know if you encounter any issues with: - Voting (against own interests or overcommitting...

World Congress/ update, 6 games with voting errors, 2 types/ variants of errors, tests in progress. In one game, three resolutions were issued against me as a result of such a war policy and not another. Of course, I voted against:Military crisis (-18), religious crisis (-1), crisis of...

In all my games, for Border Control, all the AIs place one (free) vote for themselves. This is stupid for two reasons: 1. They should realize everyone is doing this, and so should know that unless they have the least favor, they are wasting their free vote. 2. I always win this by spending...

Listen, there are bugs in this game that have been around forever and are STILL not being resolved! I recently had to reset my game about 5 turns, because IF world congress meets on the turn right before a free city petitions your civilization, you will not be given the option to refuse it...

Lord of the Rings Civ 5 on steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2155408716 reddit thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/civ5/comments/hmdty4/introducing_lord_of_the_rings_civ5_a_lotrthemed/ documentation attached. Summary below: LOTRC is a tech-limited Lord of the Rings...

I am making a lord of the rings mod, and one of the features I would like is to have the Ring represented as a world wonder. I also want to have a "Quest of the Ring" international project that prevents anyone from getting it, but only if it has not already been built. That way there is a fun...

I play the PC Gathering Storm post patch version through Steam. At a world congress vote, I had no diplomatic favor points to spend so I could not select a choice to vote on. When I exit out it just shows "please wait" in the circle in the lower right hand corner (where it says "next turn" and...

Going for Gold: These threads are designed to lock down elements of the mod for the gold release. In other words, if approved, no further changes are expected for this item. The question is: Is this item in a reasonable state of balance? Important Notes: 1) There is no such thing as perfect...

Hello guys! So, an AI proposed to ban a certain luxury the other day and I thought 'Yeah, that would cripple my rival, why not?' The proposal got passed, but then I noticed a peculiarity: my cities would still demand the banned resource as if they haven't heard the news. Real bummer. In my...

The AI banding together to make you lose victory points at 15 seems extremely artificial, and pushes players towards other victory types (usually cultural or science). I recommend that allies should not be allowed to vote for each other to lose diplomatic victory points. This makes sense as...

Sorry for the Delay! The three hundred-and-forty-second episode of PolyCast, “She Likes Big Walls and She Cannot Lie“, features regular co-hosts CanusAlbinus, Stephanie “Makahlua”, Philip “TheMeInTeam”, and Jason “MegaBearsFan” Grade with guest co-host WarningU2 and discusses the following...

World Maps should be available to trade in the mid renaissance era at the latest. Gameplay-wise, I would prefer trading world maps to be available in late-medieval, early-renaissance era. It seems stupidly bizarre to me that world maps can’t be traded until late industrial era (which is late...
