I'm looking for a guide to the diplomacy or united nations victory. I've searched the forums and have not been able to get any good results for it. Thank you in advance!
"Diplomacy isn't really understood at the moment as most think the AI is sporadic with it. As for a UN victory: There must be enough city-states alive, and you have to have as many as needed for allies. If they are captured, you must liberate enough."
Ok, I am extremely new to the game and didn't feel like I was having much luck with the UN victory. My strategy was to move down the tech tree as fast as I could along with not pissing anyone off. I would take gold and buy influence when I could as well. I only built about 2 military units the entire game and was simply focusing on buildings and policies. I found myself in 1700 AD still very, very far from the United Nations research item in the tree and it feels like I am doing something very wrong.
If anybody has quick outline for it that would be wonderful. I'm looking for a guideline and what I should be focusing on.
Thanks again.
Is there any way to delete an entry from your hall of fame? I know you can delete the replay files - that is different.
Can culture claim enemy territory, as in CivIV, where the civ with the most culture in a particular hex (square) would claim the area?
Or is the only way to infringe upon enemy territory culturally by culture bombing?
Does anyone have transcripts of the dialogue the leaders use? Obviously, they're all speaking their native languages, but they all are saying some quite different things. It would be interesting to see what they are all saying.
Just culture bombing. There's no cultural mixing and tile flipping for bordering cities, although they do of course compete for who gets the tiles first (by buying land or just having culture claim them faster). Once a tile is owned it's a binary value- you can flip tiles with culture bombs, but there is no other way short of razing the cities to turn the tiles back to neutral, unowned hexes.
Cool. Thanks for the swift reply.
Now that we're at it: How would it work when I liberate a CS? Would borders revert to their original CS spread? Or will it retain the borders of the previous puppeteer/owner?
