Popete posted:Well then maybe they shouldn't have declared war on me. Punitively taking cities is aggressive. For defensive wars I'd usually just pillage all the improvements I can before taking the city, steal any workers/great works that are in the city. Then give it back when suing for peace. That's usually enough to make up for having to divert resources and keep the AIs happy. Or, if possible, liberating a city state is great for reducing warmonger penalties. PS Impi corps are stupidly overpowered.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:Is there any benefit to getting Era Points after hitting the Golden Age threshold? The tooltip makes it seem like they're flushed straight down the drain, and it doesn't seem to influence other civs in any way. Nope they are wasted. So it is worth delaying some things to get the era score in the next era.

Annoying it works differently to other improvements/districts though. I don't care about the oil, I just want to make a national park! It'd be nice they brought back pollution and global warming from previous games.

Sedge and Bee posted:Yeah the walls thing is really what does it in In my experience, not particularly. It just made the game even easier. I only played a few games on deity with it before disabling. The AI def seemed better at taking cities, and actually uses bombard/frigate type units to take down walls. But was much worse at building infrastructure. Builds far, far, too many units relative to districts (and seems to completely ignore the theatre square); and then mostly just leaves their army standing around doing nothing. It seemed to make the AI really passive against the the human player. I could usually get friendships with the AI on first meeting them which is ridiculous. It also may have mucked up wonder prioritisation for the AI, for example they wouldn't build stone henge until after all religions were founded. It's not necessarily worse - just bad in different ways.

fridge corn posted:I'm really not sure about how builders work in this game The main difference to previous games is that builders now have a limited number of charges. Each charge can be used to improve one tile (eg quarry, mine etc) to increase tile yields and gain access to strategic/luxury resources. Or harvest one resource - remove a (eg forest, stone) from the map for a large one-off bonus of yield. You'll need to research particular techs before you can do most of these things (mines require mining etc). A good rule of thumb is to improve strategic/luxury resources first. Then either build mines on hills for extra production, or harvest forest/stone to build things quicker. Some civs like China, have special extra things they can do with builders.

markus_cz posted:pydt guff For some reason I decided from the start with Germany to try and build tall and be peaceful. Mainly because in all my other games I had been spamming settlers and/or warring a lot. But the game rules strongly in favour expansion so defo 'sub-optimal'. The other goon 'No Korea' game has also come to a conclusion as everyone has been defeated or resigned. Leaving Scotland as victors. The main notable event for me was when the Cree were going for a religious victory. They tried to spread religion using Apostles. However, if you are at war with someone, then your military unit can insta-kill any religious unit. So I declared a surprise war and slaughtered the heretics. Before invading his lands for his blasphemy. Getting a nice cash boost from defending a city state emergency on the way. Here is the core Scottish empire:  Being isolated on a peninsula and not needing to worry so much about military is a godsend really. And the 'liberated' Cree lands:   I don't think you can get the pretty graphs unless you get to the actual win screen? I could play through the turns and launch my spaceship I suppose but

Already tried deleting/redownloading the turn multiple times. aye. i think that happened to me once and we just had to revert the turn to the previous player then replay the turn.

Josef bugman posted:Also, am I right in suggesting that trying to get renewables up and running as soon as possible is a good idea? It depends. The advantage of renewables is not causing climate change, not requiring a strategic resource, and generally being cheaper to produce. A coal plant requires an IZ, two buildings to be built as a prerequisite. A wind farm is one builder charge. There are also strategies around weaponising climate change. Running all the coal powerplants and using the production advantage to rush flood barriers before the ice caps melt. Renewables also help with getting more diplo favour. But outside of a diplo victory that doesn't really matter.

Sulla Faex posted:I'm learning the game still, only about 50 hours in, and I've been able to get an accidental cultural or diplomatic victory (don't remember which, but I was going for science) and then a planned science victory. I'm getting better at managing amenities, growth, and early city expansion, but I struggle with amenities and definitely loyalty in new cities or conquered cities, even with the garrison governor and a monument. Is the answer that I shouldn't have cut my culture investment (districts etc) down to near zero? And should I be anticipating loyalty issues by using spies to reduce loyalty in nearby enemy cities? Does placing a spy in defence on a newly conquered city, based in the city centre, help loyalty at all? the most important thing for loyalty is population. try to rush growth in new cities with loyalty issues. also settle/invade closer to your already larger cities. if your're invading consider letting a city flip to a free city while you go pillage and attack other cities, to reduce the enemy population. there are also a few policies that can boost loyalty. spies don't do anything positive for loyalty as far as i know. and the reduce loyalty mission is useless. edit - also try to manage era score to avoid dark ages.

Tofu Injection posted:Are industrial zones even worth it? Seems like I'd rather go for almost anything else, power be damned, and if I'm not winning by the time it becomes relevant, games over one way or another anyway. Plus if I'm ahead I can just spam green power anyway. a couple of centralised centralised industrial zones can be okay if they can hit enough cities. and ruhr is great if you can get in iz near a river. ideally in your space port cities so they have a bit more production. and being able to run projects for the good engineers. but generally i find they are too expensive to be worthwhile, and to get them really good you have to also build crap like aqueducts. i agree you just delay the actual useful districts too much.

the logistics policy card is really powerful for a peaceful/econ type game because it applies to builder units. colombia get this in perpetuity (and it applies outside home territory). it'll even apply to apostles for a religious game. it's just a really good general bonus that is always useful. while also being insane for domination. the hacienda might be too late in the tech tree to be properly useful though.
