Krazyface posted:Definitely pick Online speed, or whatever the fastest one is called. For map size, I would recommend you pick one a size smaller than what's intended for your playercount. I know it's not Civ V anymore, and you're supposed to have a big empire, but even taking that into account I find the maps in this a little too expansive. Tried it, loved it. We picked a Tiny map, no AI and I got an incredibly favorable position with Mansa Musa and basically ran away with it by the industrial age - the two other Empires were on the other half of the map and one was on a horrifically bad peninsula. I never really ran into the others though. We disabled the religious victory and I have a question about that - does it make all religious buildings/units obsolete? I never built any and can't say that I've felt it. I could also see that religion wasn't really taken into account for score victory.

I still can't see the wagon unless I make a conscious effort. drat, I thought I was the only one. It took me from 1995 to mid-2010s to figure it out.

Religion can feed into a lot of other resources and completely ignore the religious victory condition. Faith can be used to buy all sorts of things when you've got the right conditions to do so.

I imagine this is old news for the people in this thread but I'm laughing my rear end off, just won my first Civ6 game with a diplo victory by voting to remove 3 diplo points from myself. Apparently it adds the points for being on the right vote first and if you hit the threshold you win even if you were about to drop back down?

Diplomatic victory is the most "rules lawyering" one so it seems appropriate

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:What's that thing below the mini map and above the population count? It's the palace! Periodically in Civ 1 and Civ 3 you'd be asked to make an improvement to your palace, and it would slowly build up over the course of the game from a stone age cave to a huge sprawling complex. Civ 2 had a throne room instead.

Civ 1 has this cool bug that I used to exploit where you could build roads on the water by issuing the 'build road' command on a settler while it's in a boat. You couldn't walk on those roads but the trade yield of those tiles went up, so more money and science. Before the internet bugs stayed bugs forever. I think I'm going to play Civ 1 again, it's been decades.

I periodically replay civ1 and every time end up using the speedy settler exploit, keep canceling and reissuing the same build command and any improvement can be built in one turn.

The best part of the throne room was how it started, as a literal cave with a rock in it. I'd usually upgrade every other aspect of the throne room except the throne itself until the very end. IIRC how good your throne room looked correlated with your score/ranking at the end of the game.

Downloaded Civ1 and forgot how brutal it was. Just built my second city and suddenly a barbarian raiding party landed next to my capital from the sea and just destroyed my capital. There's nothing left of it, just a road leading to an empty tile while the barbarians are still there raiding my lands.

I miss the palace/throne room. Also which Civ had the leaders change clothes based on era? I get this is a lot harder with so many more leaders. But Lincoln in furs or Caesar in a snappy suit ruled.

Completed a game as Cleopatra where City States had at least 4 wonders. I feed Cahokia late in the game and they had 3. Weirdly it also lost its space port when freed

Weirdly it also lost its space port when freed this happens with the government plaza too since city states aren't allowed them. or if a civ already has a plaza and takes a second one. or anytime kongo takes a city with a holy site.

Pedestrian Xing posted:I feel like they could fix most of the problem by having units make a best effort to get to their destination instead of immediately cancelling movement when something is in the way. All they'd need to do is make it so that if a unit cannot move because of another unit that has move points, swap them in the movement queue. Bing bang boom it's fixed.

Yeah I've seen it in games but only realised after liberating the city state, you have to choose to become their leader and get the benefits from that, or keep it and get the benefits of the wonder. Can be a tough choice!

But hey, who said dirty tricks in politics aren't the key to success? Giving city-states unique benefits to suzerainity is a neat idea. That way you have to be *really* power-mad (or just land-hungry) to conquer one. Usually I never do, but on a Fractal map I was boxed in and the only good territory was in city-state hands, so I had to take 'em on...
