Why is it so difficult to send CIV my delegations?
How do I send them delegations such that they gladly receive?

It's often difficult if you don't do it right away when you met them. They otherwise often reject. Another possible way to get your delegation there is immediately after they send you their delegation, often they accept your revisit then!

How high is the joint war warmongering penalty? Equal to surprise war? And does it matter who proposed to go to war?

 

[Stilgar08]

could it be that I cannot get my Trader to Delhi because of the japanes traffic jam in front of it? Really?
Or is it something else?

The patch notes said you could now rename cities and I'm sure it's just something blindingly obvious that I'm missing, but I can't for the life of me work out how to actually do it...

I've tried all the methods from previous civs....can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Click on 'Toggle City Details' here (bottom right, the notepad icon).

Mouse over where the city name is at the top left and click the city's name. You can see a pencil next to the text that says 'Plymouth'.

Name your city.

-6 amenities in that city. It was a pretty bad game. I had no room to expand.

You're a star mate. I knew it would be something obvious, but I never even thought to open the City Details screen...doh! I blame the hangover...

I must say I also like your example of "Plymouth" and "Not Plymouth"...

Cheers

Currently in a game, Suzerain of Hong Kong in a war with Spain. Hong Kong has reduced a Spanish city Zaragoza to 0HP, then attacked with a Heavy Chariot and Hong Kong did not capture the city.

So basically, did I miss something or are City-States unable to conquer other cities ? If I levy their units can I conquer it for them ?

I'm pretty sure city states just aren't able to take other cities and, imo, they're specifically designed to only ever be one-city empires or they'd stop being "City States".

I've played about 150 hours now and have, several times, seen City States in a position to take an AI's city. However, they never have done so so that also points to it just not being possible.

If you levy their military then you gain full control of their existing units and they become your colour for a limited number of turns. I don't know exactly how many turns because I've only done it once and they reverted back to the city state before they made it to the other end of the continent to help me finish off the darn Chinese.

30 turns on standard.

I have not granted open border to Sycthia, but we both have exchanged delegations. Now as you see, her unit can enter my territory, is that a bug?

 

[Browd]

Until you unlock the Early Empire civic, your borders are open to all civs (major civs and CSs). Their borders are also open to you until they unlock Early Empire.

Lost my capital (Pokrovka) in a war and got Philadelphia reassigned as my new capital. I then re-conquered Pokrovka but Philadelphia stayed as my capital. Any way to change your capital city?

Sometimes all the trade routes are displayed permanently and the map looks ugly because of all the lines.
Is this a bug or can I correct this myself?

Sorry for quoting myself but does anybody know anything about that?

What are relics? When I play as Kongo i've no clue how to get them. I know you can retire a Great General to turn him into a relic, but outside of that i've no clue.

I've played a game to turn 127, using no mod other than AI+ (which has worked very well for me before). If I now hit "End turn" the game crashes. I have tried loading saves from prior turns or doing different actions, but whenever I end turn 127 I crash. I have attached the save, could anybody help me out? I could start a new game but if that error happens again (maybe even later in the game) I'm not very motivated to even start.

Running Windows 10, have finished some VI games already on this machine.

Traders are on another "plane" than military and civilian units, so those cannot block trader movement. Can't open your save though because I don't have the Aztec DLC.

Hey guys, first post here (may be repost, can't find anything about it).

I guess my question is pretty clear: Can you reboot religion after all city converted?

Any help would be great!

Thx.

PS: French guy writing, sorry for any english mistakes.

 

[Browd]

If by "reboot" you mean reestablish your religion after every city with your religion has been converted to another religion, your only realistic alternative may be to try building Mahabodhi Temple. That wonder will give you two apostles of your religion, which you can use to reestablish your religion -- use one apostle to make your religion majority in a city with a temple, burn one apostle to start an inquisition, and then pump out some inquisitors to reconvert your other cities.

What are relics? When I play as Kongo i've no clue how to get them. I know you can retire a Great General to turn him into a relic, but outside of that i've no clue.

Relics are a special type of Great Work that goes in a special slot (temples have relic slots, as do a couple of wonders, and your palace slot can hold any type of great work, including a relic). You can generate relics by having an apostle with the Martyr promotion die in theological combat, or getting a relic as a tribal village reward, or, if you are Suzerain of Kandy, finding a Natural Wonder.

As Kongo, you can't build tenples, but your Palace has 5 slots that can hold relics, and Mont St. Michel has 2 relic slots. Kongo automatically generates an apostle in any city that has a majority religion when that city finishes building a theater square or a Mbanza. If you have built Mont St. Michel, every apostle will also have the martyr promotion. Since you don't care about converting foreign cities to any particular religion, send those Martyr apostles to other countries and arrange for them to lose every theological combat they engage in, generating relics galore.

Is Inland Sea kinda buggy? There are so many sea resources on the coast, there's barely space for a harbour.
