Civilization V Discussion

[Arkania 5]

Playing as Apeture Science. Enemied with Byzantines and India. Apeture Turrets for the win.

Guess who just won a science victory?

Me.

[AETEN II]

Guess who just won a science victory?

Guess who just declared Exterminatus and went back to their Washington game and took over everything?
Victory via total domination.

That's what I'm headed for next.

Oh yeah, guess what civ I just turned into a radioactive wasteland and conquered? Hint: it's starts with an F, ends with an e, and rhymes with Prance.

My newest game actually is France, and from now on I'm using it. They kick ass. I started in Brazil, captured two city state settlers before they could found their cities, then wound up jammed between the Russians and Siam. I mustered up a massive army of catapults, archers, and scouts, then sacked Russia completely. Also, I'm laughing because in every game I play, Arabia always seems to want to be a bro. I had a scout sail up to my nation and ask for a declaration of friendship even though it was the first encounter.
Of course, nothing lasts, because you just declare war once, despite the fact that Russia was also getting close to declaring war on me, and suddenly you're a warmongering monster that the freakin' Huns denounce. I still take that as a compliment.

For some reason that last part is really funny.

Also, with my French game, I reached the Middle Ages by B.C. 472, and the Renaissance by A.D. 23 or something. And I've got ten cities or so and a shitton of food. I chopped down the entire Amazon Rainforest to make way for farms galore.

3. I forget what it's called. I just went one direction in my tree and caught up via social policies and wonders of the world to get free stuff. Also caught up in the other side of the tree via research agreements. So now I've got Musketeers while everyone else is using Archers.


Fuck yeah.

I think it's called Warlord. And wow. I've never even done that well on Settler.

Warlord is 2 in Civ Rev. King is 3 on Civ Rev.

Try and remember that I play Civ V, so could you please stop correcting me?

I knew that. Thats why I said Civ Rev.

Whenever I play a Civ V game now, I run stuff like its Soviet Russia. Hordes of workers making endless stuff. You don't get a lot of gold at the start, but it pays out in the end as you end up with a crazy amount of resources. Then when you're done building up everything, liquify your workforce. When I was done, rainforest was cleared, farms were everywhere, and I was getting a hundred gold a turn. Plus I had a massive army. My typical strategy in RTS's works well in Civ. I focus on building and researching stuff ASAP, then build units when I have good stuff.
It was also funny when I attacked Russia, as my nation was maxed out so I needed more room. So I attacked them (they were already hostile, denunciations went both ways) and lost a ton of guys at the start, several catapults and numerous archers, as well as my general. Then I simply bought a new wave.
Also, I've currently setting up an outpost city in Latin America. When I build that up, I'll expand into America. Huns be damned.
Also, despite South America being pretty cramped, I like the starting spot. Because of the mountains, I can't be attacked from the West, period.

Also, always play with raging Barbarians. Gives you something to do.

Never expect mountains to keep you safe. The Byzantines thought that the mountains would keep them safe. Now I completely control two continents.

[Maryginia]

Another game update from me, I had a bunch of defensive pacts in order to draw people in and take out germany if they declared war on me, I got drawn into another war with theodora, made peace, got drawn into a war ith Germany, let my pacts expire, watch a long war between asika, and theodora, with theodora finally taking Gao, and later I buy out all the city-states, and sell them to theodora for a loss, the idea wan't to make money but rather todrive up the costs of culture and everythinb else, hile still maintaing a better score, the plan's working so far, and I'm 10 turns away from completing the appollo program, and 30 fom completing the manhattan project.

me.

I'm on a Pangaea map as Washington with just Alexander. It's 2004 and I'm in the Modern Age with Mechanized Infantry, tanks, a carrier and a nuke. He has Longswordsman and Crossbowman. I don't know how he takes care of the Barbarians. The last I saw of them, there was at least one Infantry.

Going for the Science win.

[Wisconsin9]

I just dropped eight nukes (six missiles and two bombs) on six Celtic cities, killing a grand total of 65 population, crippling her production by wasting mines and most of her oil wells, completely destroying one city and liberating another. Then, with the uranium I had gotten back, I went on a buying spree and purchased seven more nuclear missiles.

Boudicca, you screwed.

And Washington, I'm coming for you next.

[Trez-Nem]

I bought it! But it doesn't work on my computer

Do you have Steam?

[Trez-Nem]

It is my computer, not the lack of steam that has caused the unworkingness of the game. I need better computer. Mine is just an old office piece of junk.

[Aethyopea]

Is it just me, or are coups really annoying?
>Me as Egypt going for a diplo victory. Need one more ally. (this is a tiny map, so I need pretty much every city state on the planet as my ally)
>Sweden takes over belgrade as an ally
>Sweden and Netherlands DOW me
>Monty takes over Belgrade. Since I forgot to peace out Belgrade, they throw a hissy fit for being at war with a nation they protect
>Throw some money at Belgrade, take them over as ally
>Netherlands coups, takes over Belgrade. Since I'm at war with them and I'm too busy building the UN to get troops, I can't do anything
>Peace out Netherlands
>Throw around 2000 gold at Belgrade to finally have them as an ally
>Turn just before the elections, Netherlands coups again...
>FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...
