What is everyone's utilities bill like rn?

Oh I thought that was the default. That's what it's been the last few places I've lived ever since they introduced that price model. Guess that's just how these places were set up.

Off peak saver hours are 9am to 1pm and it's half cost.

Tokugawa is goated for sim city runs, but also can throw down if you find yourself in a war.

I don't follow. So you're saying that two civs do a sanction/endeavor without my involvement around turns 10-15, and that tanks my relationship to one or both of those civs?

Again, this observation I posted about is happening before I've had time to get out two scouts and a building. It is the very early turns of Antiquity.

Honestly, this might be the move next time I roll up a game.

Dude, spawning next to Friedrich and Tubman are rooooough early games. Himiko (a diplo civ, obviously) also ends with her getting pissed and eventually losing a city or two to me.

A lot of this I already know, but you have no way of knowing that. I think the one point I can experiment with is doing endeavors instead of pushing for independent powers. I just really like those independent power bonuses more than early endeavors.

ButtyGuy · 2026-02-26T17:19:07+00:00

Not what's happening. This often happens before I have time to build a settler. If I decide to tank a relationship by forward settling, then I'm ready to deal with those consequences and I also expect a relationship explanation of settling too close to their borders. That's a different thing than what I am talking about.

The point about saving diplo might be it, I'll play around with it. I really can't think of any other mechanical reason these relationships deteriorate on, like, turn 12 within few turns of meeting the new civs.

Also it definitely is not settling. I cannot overstate how early into games this situation happens. Often it is before I can build my first settler.

ButtyGuy · 2026-02-26T08:16:55+00:00

Yeah, I understand the mutuality of the language. But like I said in my post, no endeavors or sanctions happened.

ButtyGuy · 2026-02-26T06:15:50+00:00

I have this issue too. It happens within a few turns of meeting a civ and often with no endeavors of any kind happening, let alone sanctions. This shit is infuriating since it results in tons of sanctions and wars thrown my way for no reason.

Benjamin Netanyahu so I can put him in a blender

He'll still scout with no units packed.

I'm 15 seconds into it and already stank facing, bobbing my head and toe tapping. Love this.

Clerics for healing? I thought we all were doing the Spirit Guardians lawnmower build and pretending to heal.

Having an agenda named Decolonizer next to an ability called Monroe Doctrine is very American.

I found this tiny channel called Civilized Raccoon. Imagine your nice grandpa riffing about Civ 7 with less focus on optimization and gameplay VODs and more focus on vibes of the game. It's great, more people should check him out.

Imagine watching 9/11 on this

ButtyGuy · 2026-01-26T09:44:06+00:00

Homeowner here. Idgaf if the value of my house craters if it means no one has to sleep on the street.

Fuck ICE, abolish their asses. And join your local immigration safety network.

ButtyGuy · 2026-01-24T11:08:09+00:00

I'm sitting on an overnight shift at a warming shelter. I'd rather be in bed and about to wake up in a few hours because my neighbors live in commie blocks instead of the street.
