[NFP] Domination Victory Elimination Thread

[SirMediocrity]

This thread is moderator approved.

So I thought it would be a neat little idea if I created an updated elimination thread for the domination victory. In this thread, we shall rank civilization based on their capability in achieving a domination victory (did I just repeat myself?).

- Posts with missing upvote or downvote are skipped. Only voting posts are allowed in this thread.
- You must write a reason for each upvote and downvote.
- Voting many times for the same thing is allowed, though it is really recommended to spread your votes among many civs if possible otherwise things could get kind of annoying.
- Delete the previous voters comments, and indicate your comments in some way (bold, italicize, color, something that will draw attention)
- We only vote basing on CURRENT power of unique features based on MOST RECENT PATCH for Gathering Storm.

Feel free to rationalize your selections however you wish. For your rationale, you should include any aspect of the civilization/leader including unique infrastructure, units, or abilities.

Wilfrid Laurier/Canada [12] (15-3) His abilities make earlier game opportunism especially difficult. His unique unit is subpar for offensive purposes, and his unique culture improvement comes so late that it is relatively unimpactful in terms of getting more policy slots from governments. A very subpar leader/civ in general.

Simón Bolívar/Gran Colombia [17] [16+1] I promise to spread my vote around considerably but I may as well get this one out of the way. Stacking generals was nerfed ages ago for good reason. Now it's back. They even buffs ancient era units. Strong UU dances around enemy units, with up to 10 movement points. Heck, even my bombards were getting 6 movement at one point. Easy peasy.

Matthias Corvinus/Hungary [16] (15+1) Matthias is a fun leader to work with, and this is the only civ for which I would consider starting Amani as my first governor. With a quick suzerain, you can secure your hold on a city state by levying their units, and they will usually be sufficient to take at least one city (especially if you time it for an early swords rush) and win an early war with your bonuses, and you have no need to worry about the units surviving (it's often better for them not to). Then you can rinse and repeat, moving Amani in and out of various city states plus levying to keep buying more suzerainity and conquering more cities.

Wilfrid Laurier/Canada [3] (6-3) I really wanted to pick someone else, but literally every civ is more adapted to Domination. Canada is unique to play, and while not powerful, I don't mind how they have been implemented much. This vote is really like handling the Kongo in a Religious Victory elimination thread.

By building the Queen's Bibliotheque you are precluded from building the Grand Master's Chapel, Intelligence Agency, or Foreign Ministry, all of which can help you with Domination. She's not as bad as Canada, but there's nothing extra here to help you.

Matthias Corvinus/Hungary [17] (16+1) His bonus seems situational at first, but it's actually pretty easy to find enough gold (given how easy trading with the AI is) and the right city-state to levy from. The movement bonus is massive, city-states will always have good troops no matter what era, and having lots of suzerainships in general is pretty powerful.

Jayavarman/Khmer [12] (15-3) I’ve never been able to get his unique unit to work. And his bonuses are not great. At least extra culture or science helps keep your units modern. Khmer has none of this.
John Curtain/Australia [15]
Kristina/Sweden [7] (6+1) I’ll give her a little boost. Her unique units are fantastic for domination. When do you need extra combat bonus when standing still? How about whenever you have a city under siege? It’s not a small bonus either.

Simón Bolívar/Gran Colombia [20]
Suleiman/Ottomans [17] [16+1] The domination meta changed with the nerf to Cavarly units and resource management. In come the Ottomans, with the ability to overcome increasingly tough city defenses thanks to a unique governor that buffs your city assaults from long range. The only civ to get bonus production to siege units with an extra +5 thrown in there for good measure. They trivialize taking city centers, which I find a tougher challenge than killing units. They can also keep cities with no loss to pop, +1 amenity, and +4 loyalty. The Janissary is a top tier unit - strong, guaranteed promo, can upgrade to them. They're also half cost - so those cities you just took that didn't lose population can easily bolster your reserves and keep the steamroll going. Even the Bazaar supports prolonged wars with additional strategics and amenities. If you're going to only be good at one thing, be really good at it.

Matthias Corvinus/Hungary [18] - Even with the upgrade nerf, he's still pretty nuts. There's a little bit of RNG, but it's still pretty likely to meet at least 1 CS first for the free envoy, and then suzerainship and home continent domination to follow. On top of that, he can take out a second continent without moving a single troop across the sea (assuming there's any CS's left standing when he discovers it).
