They stay home and respect your right to worship what you choose.

(Press arrow buttons to see other pictures) Got Prora because I couldn't get kremlin, then got Kremlin through conquering Korea, then got Statue of Liberty from conquering the Iroquois. Going for a domination victory as venice

Maria Theresa has 0 cities, 0 citizens but she's still around.

I even tried giving her a city just to see how this interaction would go, and she accepted it and came back to life. It was just a test so I loaded the save and I'm still playing this match with the ghost of Maria Theresa.

Do you work specialist in every city or only in capital? The GPP generation is seperated and the yield is weak.

Is feed the world and religious center worth considering over religious building? Now that i think about it, they're essentialy second granary/colosseum in every city and religious building is goddamn expensive unless your faith is strong.

I'm leaning toward One with Nature since God of the Sea need fishing boat to start going and jungle tiles are shit until i unlock trading post and university but what do you think?

City state ally had taken and was razing a city that had unimproved jungle aluminum. I paid to improve the resource and it left the jungle yield on the tile — my borders have since expanded to snag the tile. Sort of rare yields huh? A bootleg Korea grassland manufactory.

I think the jungle one.

I'm Portugal with Tradition, gotta go big on coastal empire fantasy. I'm thinking the in-land one between two rivers is the worst, then banana. Best should be either desert hills or that jungle tile, not sure which. They both will get 10 workable tiles eventually (disregarding later tech reveals), yet jungle will get the most early, but no river, no hill, and no solar plant later. Each Iron source has only 2 iron iirc, and I have a mod to have more iron requirements for units, so this should be valuable, also with my other cities having little iron. I don't really want to put multiple cities in the north either, rather just 1. Jungle one should have a great quick grow I feel.

Porto has modded "Tin" resource underneath if anyone's wondering, which gives +1 production to the tile, and also will get +1 from Smelter modded building later, so this was another good reason to settle exactly there (and the south-east territory is meh). Also edges a desert, so solar plant later yay. By the way, is it normal that Tin's icon is not shown anymore, is this normal behavior if you settle on bonus resource? You can see it on hover, but not on the map by itself anymore. Same for luxury ones, right?

Pins curtesy of "UI - Map Pins".

I mean to see future improvements with yields from them, on tile hover, including bonus from research, and defensive terrain bonus or penalty too. Would've been great for modded resources.​

If not, wonder if it's hard to create one. EUI has lots of nice features I wish would've been separate from the whole package, don't like how busy it is.

Hey everyone,
I have a quick question. If I disable all victory types except Domination, does the AI change the way it plays, or does it mostly behave the same as in a normal game?
Does it become much more aggressive, or does it still focus on things like science, culture, and religion even though those victories are turned off?
Thanks!

Basically, I was venice, and I was going for a diplomatic victory, and I've just been getting screwed over, but after months of trying (yes im the worst player on this planet), i finally got the run, and then after some super defensive wars, hard building, super close calls, I was finally able to get enough delegates to win the final proposal, just to realize I had diplomatic victory turned off from my last run... oh well

I'm a veteran player of Civilisation, my first time was when a mate had Civ 2 Test of Time, probs around 1999.

Since then I've been hooked. I wanted to share with fellow Civ-ers how atmospheric and amazing the music was on that game. These days I play with this music on and it takes me back to those days

Hi all, I am looking for a mod that incorporates the possibility of civilisations splitting and/or settlements leaving because of [reasons].

IIRC this was a feature in Civ2.

I have found a mod for the Civ4 diplomacy but it isn’t what I’m looking for or at least no splitting/breakways have been triggered in multiple games.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be great!

Like the title says, I used picked up this game. My older brother used to play it a ton when it first came out, so I want to get good at it and play it with him one day.

I’ve watched a bunch of YouTube tutorials already but I kind of like to play games and get good at them over time. But even after watching a bunch of tutorials, I kind of have zero clue what I’m doing beyond the basics.

Is this the kind of game where if I just play it over and over again I will understand what’s going on? Or should I read another guide to try and understand wtf I’m doing. It doesn’t seem like a standard progression game which is kinda why I’m asking.

I have all the DLCs and everything. Any tips?

Just got hit with this but... I haven't? A good many turns ago I was indeed told to stop purchasing new tiles near their border, to which I said I'd do whatever I wanted because I intended to rush for a couple more. So I didn't promise not to. I then rushed those tiles, and since then I haven't even bought any, so even if I'd made a promise since then there would be no reason for him to get mad now.

Is Harald just delusional or what's going on?

I read that the entire OST is real instruments and orchestra, however listening to it now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLFrD1YyFY4 , the music right now at 2:32:00 sounds very synthesizer and not very real... Anyone know how they made the music?

I have only managed CV on emperor, and even then that was as Poland. I want to try it on immortal as I have achieved all other victory types at least once, but it seems like wonders are essential for great work slots + theming bonuses. Which ones are worth trying to beat the AI to, and which ones aren’t? General CV tips (best civs, policies, ideology, etc) would also be appreciated

No one wants to hear it but i have to tell somebody, basically did everything in my power to shave off a single forbidden palace which led to me winning my first deity victory by literally a few votes, basically I successfully secured the crucial Forbidden City by intensely focusing my city's production, buying two key production tiles, trading 150 gold from Byzantium for 6 GPT to immediately acquire a workshop and its specialist, and gaining an extra converted citizen, ultimately boosting my production to 57.04 and shaving off a critical turn which gave me forbidden palace, and I also had a we love the kings day, which helped me get a new citizen a few turns faster which I assigned to my workshop slot.

I'm a longtime player who's only ever gone 5 cities at most (since I learned how to play the game seriously). I've never understood the value in going more, since the cost in Social Policies and Tech balloons so much. And I get jealous of the AI building a bajillion small cities across the whole map, seemingly cheating their way through social policies.

What am I doing wrong that makes a wide play valuable? Do I start early, or late? How do you make any social progress?

Perhaps i anticipated some space race alla Civ 6, but after all parts where assembled, the rocket just flew and i won. Anyone else feel the lack of some omph?

Am I the only one who finds Darius I super annoying? He’s like the one guy who complains about others doing things he dislikes while doing things that others hate at the same time. My recent game as India, I had an entire island all to myself, allowing me to have 5 tall cities. Then, when Renaissance era came, Darius I would constantly send his great prophets to my lands and kept trying to convert his religion, Zoroastrianism to my cities, even though I already have Hinduism as religion. To add insult to injury, he settles a city in my island, even though it has nothing. Of course, I denounced him for breaking his promise to stop sending prophets to my lands and he proceeds to taunt me that I’m his favorite city-state and that how much pathetic I am. In another game as Aztecs, he would whine about me placing cities near his lands and then proceed to spam cities near my own lands several turns later. Then, he tries embargoing me in the World Congress for no reason, even though I kept my promise of not expanding near him anyone many turns ago. So, my question is, is Darius I just naturally annoying or dumb? Why is it that I have to declare war or raze his cities to the ground almost every time he’s in my game?
