Let's compare empires!

You too?

Lol.

Nice Thread

Some images from my first test run (Viceroy, Standard, Fractal IIRC)

Ibn Battuta is the one fit for exploring, and Missisipians because for sure he reached America, and for sure he would make himself fit amongst a trader civ such has them.

Here a photo of him when asked to lead Cahokia

Or maybe in the founding of Choctaw, with such a nice scenery, between Sea, mountains and Marshes.

Back to Cahokia... noticed Battuta +2 wildcard attribute on first civic makes it possible to make him a wonder builder (+10% prod). So, a Great Stele for making money might be fitting...

At this moment (well, some turns afterwards), Missisipian empiere is already sprawling to 4 settlements. (Thinking if I should promote Choctaw, or wait for Misuri to grow and become my Southern city). I'm maybe offering too much frontier to Xerxes, but at the moment he is atmost friendly and a good trade partner.

Back to Cahokia to appreciate the Hanging Gardens becoming part of Missisipian mound tradition...

BTW, Founders Edition, Palace Disabled but Tileset and explorers still enabled (tough they cannot be seen really in the provides sshots)

Beautiful!

I saw that as well, I just don't get how it is possible, half of a city doesn't have its own tiles to work or build on.

It's possible because his approach is better than yours. Talking about Civ 6, but I assume a lot of the same logic holds in Civ 7.

Really will be interesting to see how opinions settle - I love it personally. But there's a lot of (valid!) divergence over these things.

I genuinely have no idea what's to love there. Those cities don't look like cities (more like villages founded next to the main city) and they merge creating one, huge megalopolis. Is the end-game goal to make all continents 100% urbanized like Coruscant?

I can't imagine real life Paris, Lyons, Orleans and Marseille merging into one megacity sometime in the renaissance. And the idea of it happening in Civ is literally repulsive. When I see it even the "classic mode" mod won't salvage this game for me as I like a certain degree of logic and historicity in my games.

I don't look for real life in my Civ. games. Never have, as they don't really represent it all that accurately. Different games handle the accuracy differently, for sure, and I understand preference is a big part of it.

I get where you're coming from. I understand it. But it's simply not what I prefer.

 

[Goldflash]

I played for a couple of hours last night, as Fredrich, Oblique leading Rome on whatever they called the third difficulty level (why they changes the names i do not know) I think I'm doing alright, but could be doing better. I went to war with Ashoka and have taken a town from hem, and now I'm going to regoup my forces, clear and an indendpent peoples that keep sending galleys up navigable rivers to harrass my dudes while i get my legions online to take Ashoka's capital. enjoying the game though I'm going to add my voice to the chorus of people who are unhappy with the UI.

 

[CivKirk64]

The AI still places cities either way too close to themselves, or WAY to close to you, considering there is plenty of open space adjacent to their own empires.
The AI used to always do that weird "corner nook settling" into the awkward spots you intended to fill but got distracted from settling, however This time now they do it right away as their 3rd city and not their 17th city in the modern era.

 

[Evolena]

Not really an Empire to show as Rome failed.
That is, playing as Friedrich Oblique, who did indeed give my Army Commander (well, Legatus in that case, and now that I think of it that may be the root cause) the Merit commandation, I couldn't get the increased radius to work (white outline correctly displayed, but no XP gained in the second ring tiles), so I decided to play with another Leader, and thus for once to retire instead of just silently abandoning.
And I... felt bad for Rome

 

[Nikolai II]

Well, the painting is beautiful at least?

Well, the painting is beautiful at least?

The narration too! I don't feel bad for discovering it!

First game done on Viceroy difficulty.

Charlemagne was annexed by Rome and Isabella by the Mughals.

Wonderful! Seems you can up that difficulty with ease.

And even more you! Ready for perhaps a couple higher levels? Well done!

 

[Potworny]

This is how my first game (on Deity ) is going so far in antiquity.

I managed to get the Silk Road 3rd legacy point exactly in the last turn. The game's fun! But in 5 years I'll probably weep how inefficient my city planning was :v

 

[Nikolai II]

Wow, your placement of your cities are about as close as mine.

 

[Krumm Nonster]

2nd playthrough, turn 34 of the 2nd age. Really enjoying this game so far, very fun.

Pretty far ahead of the AI! Kudos. What difficulty is this on?

 

[Caprikel]

Here's a cozy desert town of mine, though what isn't shown here is that my town up north is surrounded by countless Ming Xunleichong.
