Completed a tremendously fun game as Venice. Started off in a desert region, hilly with a flood plain nearby with 3 cotton, wheat, fish just outside the city, marble three tiles away, and a oasis on the other side. I started less than ten tiles away from two religious CSs. Oh game, you shouldn't have.  With tithes, plowshares, religious texts and feed the world chosen, Venice founded Judaism well before anyone else were even thinking about pantheons.I started near Songhai and for once, he was just trying to be peaceful and spread his own religion, Islam. Throughout the game, Islam was, more or less, kept in check by my great prophets bombing the hell out of him and keeping it suppressed. Due to my desert starting location, and nearby CSs which were also founded completely on the desert peninsula, I was sending out missionaries every four turns at the most and by the end of the game, I had spread Judaism to around two-thirds of the planet, stifling out most other religions on contact due to the incredible spread of the religion via endless hordes of missionaries, extensive trade routes, and forcing the world to accept my religion as the bestest.

Your first problem was deploying your entire army halfway across the world with a belligerent neighbor on your doorstep. Next time just do the war, say you'll assist, keep all your forces at home and accept any white peace or better agreements from the other guy when they inevitably pop up.

eXXon posted:The culture bonuses are too small to make an appreciable difference in the late eras. I like farming culture off barbarian encampments but the returns don't keep up past the renaissance. Dunno if you were doing it or not, but leave the guarding barbarian in the encampment and, well, camp the spawn point. The jerks will, supposedly, respawn quicker if you leave a barbarian in the camp.

Speeding up settlers, workers, a golden age, faster policies and a great person of your choice at the end of the tree is really, really good. If you don't care about tourism, just burn the artist for golden ages.

In one game, Genghis was the leader in convincing the entire world that I wasn't a gigantic rear end in a top hat for daring to place my capital down where I started as Venice. First one in that game to DoF me, and also received the first of many research agreements, and trades in his favor. Nebuchadnezzar, on the other hand, is just a grumpy jerk that keeps to himself.

Peaceful Tenochtilan, nestled between the gentle lakes nearby, and at the foothills of a lone mountain peak would almost seem rustic if it weren't for the daily income of sacrifices for the blood altar from nearby barbarian camps. Yes, the Aztec empire was content, it's sole army returning from a successful campaign against Venice, and preparing to go collect Swedish prisoners on the other side of the empire. From the thick, steamy jungles to the south, a single Mongolian swordsman appeared from the thicket, then another, and another, followed by a desiccated corpse wrapped in parchment that came flying over the hills into the city; "The time for your destruction has come!" Wise Montezuma looked upon this corpse in mid-cut of the obsidian blade. How dare these sacrifices pretend to revolt in his august presence? Ximicacan. Ximicacan! XIMICACAN! He declared as another heart lay cooling on the hungry stone slab. The jaguar swords, six army groups in number, accompanied by two jaguar pikes made all haste to welcome the new sacrifices to the blood altars at Tenochtilan. The invaders numbered in the ten and eight, marched to their doom. Huitzilopochtli would feast well, and Montezuma's chief sacrifice-gatherer, Auitzotl, would ensure it. At first, the Mongols had the upperhand, and numbers, and they were in firing distance of the capital. Glorious Montezuma, gazed upon the statues of Mictlantecuhtli and deemed it time, for the sacrifices came at the city in ones and twos from the hostile jungle, with the hungry jaguar hunting for prey. All of the invaders who made it to the walls of the city either perished or were taken captive, and the sanguine life flowed from the temples. Montezuma himself was so impressed by this generosity of Genghis Khan that he awarded his gatherers the privilege to shed the skin of the iron and become encased in the shining favor of Quetzalcoatl and told to go forth to the yurts of the Mongols. Hefting his long macuahuitl and arrayed in the pelt of the Jaguar and the feathers of the Bird, honorable Auitzotl gave the fleeing Mongols two choices: Die on the altars, or die on the wicked curved obsidian blades of the Steel Jaguars.  XIMICACAN

Playing in a MP game, chose Spain and I absolutely knocked it out of the park on having nearby natural wonders. Second city right next to Uluru, third city right next to Mount Sinai. Both were first discoveries, and the fifth city...  A workable Krakatoa?  I'd of placed it closer to the mainland, but I didn't want to piss off Morocco.I suppose the religion name I chose, to get lucky, was rather appropriate.

Being prophet bombed won't eliminate the holy city's religion completely, that requires a inquisitor to do the work. For your case however, there's a few things you could do next time; 1) Surround the city's hex grid with units, 2) Park an inquisitor in the city, or 3) Capture the prophet before it arrives. Barring that, you said the religion wasn't too advanced, it may not be such a bad thing to just use the invading religion. Check the beliefs of it and see if it fits your play style.

"Mechanically, the Purity player is the one that's going to put guns on things. Giant platforms with lots of guns." "We're going to build a fortress, and we're going to make it fly." "You don't need fancy tricks and gadgets, you just need to hit things really, really hard. That's the Purity attitude - overwhelming force." This is a belated April Fools joke innit?

Phobophilia posted:Also, you're hot pink, who's that? Some anime girl civ? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=207117800 The Madoka one to be specific. UA is archers stationed in cities and citadels get double attack. UU is a specialized, annoying to kill, scout that has a one time use ability to give you a small amount of beakers when it gets next to a foreign city. UB is a garden replacement that doesn't require fresh water, and if a archer is stationed in the city, you gain 25% of the archer's strength in culture. To be honest, I really dig this guy's civs since they usually have a fun gimmick, like with the Militaires Sans Frontieres civ he's got in his workshop. That one in particular has a different playstyle than any vanilla civ, and is more akin to a warlike Venice civ. If you can stomach anime or Metal Gear Solid, try his stuff out for a different change of pace.

Well for me, given the relatively small sample size of krakatoa being present on a map after using the mod, it's never not been in the middle of the ocean. Doesn't necessarily mean it'll be in a GOOD location, but at least you could place a city that can work it.
