Civilization V Discussion

[The Republic of Mattlandia]

Or we could do a warmongering map, with the Huns, Aztecs, Japanese, Mongolians, Chinese, Danish, Germans and Zulu with all victories but domination victory disabled

The Japanese count as warmongering?

[The free land of Nebulae]

Whenever I play civilization, I get into at least three wars. I never actually take them very seriously, but if they attempt to siege my city...

They have two combat UUs and and combat-focused UA. Yes.

Anyways, I tried something like that once, on a Great Plains map.

That did not end well.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

With Bushido? That makes them probably the best out of all warmongering-UA civs, even though they have (imo) poor UU's.

Re-downloaded and finally played Civ V since having bought it (and failed to play it) back in April last year. I've seen gameplay series on a Europe Map mod which I just downloaded. While I'm still completing my first game as Rome, I'm pondering on which European (with G&K, btw) civ to play as in my next game. Austria (due to being able to purchase city-states) and Russia (Siberian Riches) tempt me the most, yet I'm sure there are obvious drawbacks that I fail to see in them. So: Austria, Russia or other?

Has anyone else noticed that the East Asian nations, (China, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia) can all be military powers.
China can basically do anything
Japan and Mongolia were built for war
And while Koreas mainly a science nation, they still got two special units at around the same time

That just triggered an idea. Why not do a mediocre states competition:

Like, one person can play the Ottomans, one can play the Americans, one can play the Huns and one can play the Swedish. It would certainly force tactical play .

I'd join an NS Civ game.
I'd lose instantly, but I don't care.

Well, maybe not if someone offered you protection in exchange for resources, political backing, and monetary tribute.

I don't want to disappoint, though. Tbh, I haven't played Civ since early November.

[New Octopucta]

Are we serious about this NS CIv game? I'd be game for it, but it'd be a long ass game considering how scattered we all are.

[Bojikami]

So, are we having a Civ 5 NS game?

Victory: Domination ... only

Victory: Domination ... only

In a game where the Domination victory condition is the only one allowed, and no one reaches it by the end date (2020? It was 2020 in earlier games), does the game keep going on forever? If not, what happens?
(Sorry, I don't know much about the game, it's been a while...)

For one, I'm serious. I'd like to see this happen.

2050, and if "Time" is disabled as a Victory condition then in theory, that is correct.

[Horusland]

That's what I want. Battle to the death.

Not to mention that Standard games take 20-15 hours of gameplay, this will be one tough, possibly never-ending, tournament.

Um.... can't we, like, pause it and come back the next day?
I've never played a Civ multiplayer game, so I don't know how it works.

[Swyftlandre]

If we do do this, we'll have to draw names out of a RANDOM.ORG hat. I can see everyone clambering to be China or someone similar

Yeah, but still.

Arabia, Maya, China, in order of preference.
How can we prove that we got what we got in random.org? A third user?

[Wisconsin9]

I can't play this week. Exams are coming up and the teaxhers are swamping us with everything they haven't yet managed to shove in.

[Bojikami]

I can play this weekend.

The Civilization games are notorious for its AI players declaring war for the most ridiculous crap.

Declare war on you for 100 gold pieces, still persisting after you take half their empire.

Pick on the weak ones later in the game, they'll fight your attacking troops for a few turns before quickly abandoning and negotiating peace by offering you one of their cities. Expanded my empire 150% using that only. Oh, Isabella..
