The Risk posted:Welp I need to wait for a steam sale. It says on the Amazon page (if you click PC Download) that it requires a Steam client to activate, are you sure about that? Edit: I am dumb, the download version isn't on sale.

Jesus I got lovely at this game when I stopped playing for a couple years...dunno what I'm even doing wrong, probably not expanding aggressively enough.

Thank you for these! I used to play Civ more a couple years ago, recently picked it up again and...I've been struggling. Some games have gone really well, some games not so much and I haven't been able to figure out why. This will at least help streamline some choices. A couple questions: What makes Poland so good? The free Social Policies? I've been playing Brazil (early struggle, but a good jungle start and you run away with it once you get Acoustics and Universities) and Shoshone (love the extra tiles and the Pathfinder ability in ruins). Austria also looks interesting for the ability to buy CSs. Any tips for playing Venice? It's so...different than anything else, I'd like to at least give it a shot but I don't have the experience under my belt to know how to start, it feels like. Edit: For the record, I rarely go to war. I know I should more, I just...don't. Edit 2: Any suggested mods? Nothing that will affect gameplay in huge ways, but HUD improvements, streamlining, things like that I guess. If it does affect gameplay in a meaningful way but it's still worth checking out for a relative newbie, I'm all ears. FWIW I have G&K + BNW and most, if not all DLC Civs. Shooting Blanks fucked around with this message at 09:09 on Aug 22, 2016 |

Alright...need to do a diplo victory and a domination victory. Suggestions for each? Thinking Austria for diplo, not sure on domination though. Aztec or Inca maybe?

Gort posted:AIs never agreeing to peace even when they're clearly losing is definitely something in vanilla Civ 5. As is human players saying "I guess I'll declare war on this guy on the other side of the world, maybe the sucker will pay me for peace". Really? I don't remember ever seeing that, but I've mostly played G&K and BNW - and my general take is either the AI pushes for peace relatively quickly regardless of circumstances - circumstances of surrender depending on who's winning.

The White Dragon posted:Farms, farms, farms, and farms. Even without fresh water, loving farms everywhere you possibly can. Leave bananas without a plantation because they cause -1 production, Jungles produce 2 science, and plantation only gives you +2 food +1 gold eventually. Maybe a Banana/Hills would be okay, but probably not. Unless you're playing Brazil - in which case Brazilwood camps EVERYWHERE.

Something strange just happened. Playing vanilla, a city belonging to another civ just up and swapped control to me. We share no borders, I'm not influential with them in culture, and they're not in open revolution from ideology. I've never gone to war with this civ. Any ideas what happened?

Krazyface posted:By Vanilla, you mean BNW but no mods, right? Correct. Edit: Hell, a second city of theirs just converted. This is actually kind of annoying, it's tanking my happiness. Shooting Blanks fucked around with this message at 06:28 on Oct 11, 2016 |

Their total happiness was -7, but we did have different ideologies. Third city just flipped - and I won the game the round after that.
