Noob here, I'm building a computer and going all out and I heard the new AMD Ryzen 9 is the best but also heard that if the mod was developed with intel then it will work better with it and I was just hoping I could gain some insight from this incredible community. Thanks!!

You got me confused, I’m not a computer guy and I don’t know the answer but I got a question. 1 how can having a different cpu change how different games run, I thought that just because you had intel wouldn’t make a game run faster and rather it was just how fast the cpu is.
I am playing Austria right now and have this kind of situation as well. I like it because otherwise it would be a cakewalk for me. In the end, as long as AIs don't get crazy huge buffs, I am supposed to make better strats than AI because I am human and supposed to "outplay" them. And to put it in the balance, I am fine if almost every Civ hates me if it gives a reasonable challenge. I am mentally prepared to have an army just in case someone declares a surprise attack on me.
When they start "hating me", I should be already in a position that I could at least somehow defend it. Playing on Emperor.
I have noticed that it's important to check when the friendship/defensive pact of my authority neighbour ends. Usually they don't want to renew it if they consider me "too powerful", hence they might attack me. Sometimes they just straightly broke the pact though especially if I have been very naughty...
AI\s holy city was first was captured by another AI (founder of religion). The city was then taken over by me (the founder of the religion) and returned to its original owner. After that, only 4 religions remained in the game.
Religion can be destroyed irrevocably?

Hi everyone!
Is there a way to edit AI to make them colonize one-tile-island? I know its inefficient to do this but this just break immersion for me when many islands remain uncolonized in 1800s. I'm using VP standard with EUI, thanks a lot!

They do it. In my game there is a 1 tile colonized island. Near 1 or 2 fishes and 2 atolls.
A little lower there is another island of 2 tiles - 2 or 3 fishes, pearls and a couple of atolls. But, in my opinion, no one has founded a city there yet. The two countries that prefer these islands are constantly at war and have avoided colonizing a second island for now.
Approximately 1850 year.
I think that there must be significant reasons for AI - the desire for expansion, the lack of some kind of strategic resource. For example. in the late game, the AI has no problem founding cities in the polar regions for oil or uranium.

May you help me, how to install mod on steam deck?
You need to raise Great Scientists. The earlier the better. Use all science slots in each city whenever possible. Until about 300-350 moves, it is better to put the Academy. After - use scientists to instantly get research acceleration, since the Academies will no longer pay off.
Also at the Congress it is worth offering '-20% of the cost of technologies studied by anyone' if you are lagging behind in science. And +33% growth rate of Great Scientists.
Approximately:
the capital is the starting pool of the army, the place where most Wonders were built until the late game due to better production
2 ports - construction of ships, sea caravans. 1 port will be free if the other is blocked for some reason. Or 1 port on each side of a large island, the tip of the mainland. It is also desirable to set up Guilds of musicians, artists, and writers in ports and capital. A total of 3 guilds can be built. Coastal cities have a lot of food, but few tiles to work with. Sea caravans carry more food until late game. Food bonuses from city-states mostly go to the capital. And guilds provide very good border growth, which will be required to repair ships outside of cities. Also, Woders for 3-4 great works of art are best placed in ports.
1 city with good production for building an army - after an early game in this city, we put Heroic Epic (Morale Promotion + 10% CS) and free the capital from the construction of ground units. The capital will have something to do, at least the production of Envoys and Diplomats. Near the city, preferably several hills with mines, sawmills. Also horses. to build a stable and gain +33% cavalry production speed.
1-2 cities as a reserve, especially if there are aggressive neighbors nearby - the ability to quickly create an army, restore caravans. If for some reason one city is captured, then this will not be a disaster, as for an empire of 3-4 cities.
If possible, several cities should have access to a resource such as Stone so that you can send caravans with hammers around your empire in the early game to speed up the development of cities.
This is the core of the empire. For a wide game - annexing cities on other continents to build airports in the late game and transfer ground troops. Or coastal in the mid game to create many small mobile fleets and control the oceans.

I have come back after some break. My typical strategy is Domination (Aztecs, Authority -> Progress -> Imperialism) and I tend to burn all non-capital rival cities (I prefer much loser city placement and leave some space for Barbarians to spawn - and I prefer to do some ethnic cleansing due to stability/happiness reasons). This is impossible if the city is a founding city of a religion.
My typical solution was to send Inquisitors, get rid of religions and burn the city, but now it seems to be impossible - sending Inquisitors often makes citizens angry and even if the mission is completed, I cannot clean the founding city status (even if temporarily there are no believers). Is this by design?

Yes. Inquisitors remove holy city status if it exists, and cuts the amount of foreign religion pressure in a city by 50%.

Thanks a lot. So, to make things clear: it is still possible to remove the Holy City status, but I need to spam Inquisitors? (I guess chances to remove a religion completely have dropped)

No, one Inquisitor will do it.

Hello guys, does anyone know?
1. Do promotions that give "+ x combat strength when defending" work when a unit is range attacked or only when defending in melee combat?
2. Can I assign different mission to my spy that just completed one? Or have to send him to another city, cancel, resend?

1. I was under the impression that the bonus is only given when defending against melee attacks.
2. After a few turns, the spy will prompt you to select a mission. It seemed to me that it would take as many turns (5) as it would take to set up a surveillance after arriving in the city. Very incomprehensible system with the duration of missions.

Hello all, had a quick question about World Congress host voting:
How does the AI determine who to vote for as host? I've had games where my allies and I all voted for the same civ to beat out an enemy's votes, and games where our votes were split which allowed an enemy with fewer combined votes to become host.
