Great LP, Fargle, I'm really enjoying it. Following your playing speed on Immortal can be a bit much at times, though, so I've been wondering if you'd be willing to do the odd game on Emperor difficulty once in a while, if that's not too little of a challenge for you.

Seconded. And then perhaps just carry on down the list.

About resurrecting Maria Theresa in the France game: You can only do that from the last city a civ had before they went down, so the city in question would have been Vienna.

Good to have you back Fargle. Really enjoying the peacefulness of this game rather than the constant scramble that was France.

MOAAAAI

Agreed.

We need to weaponise the Moai.

EDIT: Here it is! We lose a war today!

I'm glad you decided to roll back, things were going quite nicely before Bismarck went runaway. I'm repeating my earlier sentiment as well: I won't mind if you go on a lower difficulty for the sake of showing off special features without getting thrown by the AI too much.

We can at least dream this is an option... unless Civ VI is really amazing.

Yeah. The subtle rumble as a chain of moai turns into a rain of moai. I really hope VI will allow modding for something like that, just for shiggles.

Since we took it first, shouldn't we rename Hamburg to Manhattan?

E: Never mind, was behind on the updates.

About Saturday night's slaughterama: I'll see if I can squeeze in a couple of hours to watch, won't have time for much more than that.

I guess Poland is getting razed then.

So typical for Civ, isn't it? In the past games, Casimir was on our side, now he's our prime target.

That was tense. Congrats on pulling it off.

Sorry about the communication breakdown and just buggering off last night, lads. I kept getting dropped from the stream and the chat over and over so I just called it a night.

Fargle, how do the terrace farms factor into this campaign? We don't seem to be building too many of them, and, from what I can tell, the terrain bonus is a much bigger deal here. How far off am I with this perception*?

Thanks for the answers, Fargle, it really helps having things pointed out that way. :)

How much do the AI bonuses from the higher difficulty come into it at this point? I imagine they've a large (possibly massive) part in the player being left out of options.

Do things change when you choose to play off-line? From your description, Steam seems to be the culprit. This is pure conjecture, though, because I haven't got 6 yet myself.
