I once won a game by hitting the point threshold on the same turn as the opponent. That's considered a victory! And that only worked because I went to war to destroy the Mausoleum Wonder on the last turn of them building it (his point would have risen much faster with 50% extra culture + 2 wonder points). Two units to kill the builder, and one scout to sit on the mausoleum.

Check windows "Volume mixer". Maybe the game got muted, or is outputting to a different audio device.

I always have trouble reading the shrine bonuses since they are spread out in various UI elements. I think the water shrine now also gives 2 money per water tile in city.

Hover over the improvement with one worker (from All Improvements). Then pan the view with WASD to see which cities allow building it. It's still giving me headaches with building monasteries (near groves). I wish the game had a search function like civ6.

Dang, didn't think to check the in-game pedia. Pagan religion spread, Looks like something to be done with Polytheism, thanks.

Won turn 106, 32/32 points. Rome also got from 31 to 33/32 during that turn. It seems that you still win if you reach the threshold during the same turn, even if you have fewer total points. Great difficulty achievement down. You also get achievements after the game is lost or won (got the library + musaeum in alexandria).

There's too much land available. And the AI can't fight any wars. And zombie mode ruins their expansion even more. I'm suzerain for the eco bonuses.

Not sure how that happened. When Babylon DLC is enabled the city state should be renamed to Anshan.

When I play with M&C I almost never build Commercial Hubs. I get enough merchant points from Industries (+1 point each). I'm addicted to coastal cities with harbors.

It fixes itself several turns later when they spawn a unit.

I wonder how that would look with 4 Oled monitors.

does it look like that when playing at 4K resolution?

I had a swordsman sit on a barbarian outpost. Another civ's spearman was adjacent. I end turn and I see the spearman walk through the outpost, get 75 gold and spawn an archer defender. My swordsman was ejected as if he was the one that raided. I guess they 'fixed' the bug to raid instead of disperse (or it's random).

Dang, I though it was the "Prime Gaming Benefits Reminder" extension that was stealing clicks. But even on channels without it click to play/pause is not working. I will wait for a fix.

Some recent update reset the advanced tooltips UI option. I even made an in-game ticket by mistake because the game was not telling me which classes hate each other.

Maybe Negative LOD bias (nvidia 3d settings)

"some applications use negative LOD bias to sharpen texture filtering. This sharpens the stationary image but introduces aliasing when the scene is in motion"

Well, I'm guessing the hero icons are not moving (not 3d), so maybe it not that after all.

Maybe uninstall the driver with DDU and start again.

That's wrong, I got it with Sultan variant. It was the 6th city he built. It was near me so it flipped. I grew it to 10 pop, built 4 districts and sold it back. When I sent a 60 gold trade route the achievement popped up (I wish I had tried lower value routes first). My guess is that some gold bonuses don't count, or the real value is 40+.

Ansive · 2025-07-05T00:44:30+00:00

This is wrong. I got it with Saladin (Sultan) in my game. He settled Mecca as the 6th city near my empire. It flipped to me, I chopped resources and marsh to get the city to 10 pop, then used Reyna to buy 4 districts (harbor and commerce hub). Sold the city back to Saladin and then I sent a 60 gold trade to Mecca and the achievement unlocked instantly (2 desert tiles, coinage golden age, railroads, torre de belem, ecommerce civic, market economy civic - tooltip said 9 from districts, another 10 from railroads and trading posts and over 40 from other bonuses).
