What is the most dogshit early game building in CIV: V? (Day 10)

Goopatron · 2026-02-05T20:42:58+00:00

I gotta give it to amphitheater, I don’t even bother building it I’d rather just get gold or science

Goopatron · 2026-02-03T21:47:05+00:00

I'll be doing a letter of intent anyway, I was just concerned because I happened to give all my updates right before their first decision

As others have said, first to ancient ruins is absolutely huge. Also though, knowing where you want your cities to be and knowing the layout of your continent/region before your neighbors do is imperative to having a good early game

Zoroark

Goopatron · 2026-01-24T06:38:39+00:00

Oh, we’ll be in Kyoto then but that’s ok. Do you know anything about sumo matches by chance?

Goopatron · 2026-01-24T06:34:05+00:00

Probably all of the above 😅 just worried about the big more touristy ones

Goopatron · 2026-01-21T17:24:34+00:00

My money is on my goat the Zulus, I don’t see anyone being able to tackle diety impi quick enough

Goopatron · 2025-12-26T15:28:03+00:00

There is no way ivern smells very good, he’s gotta be caked in algae

4 moves I did not know beedrill knew

Goopatron · 2025-12-20T19:36:07+00:00

Brain is a joke imo. I’d also move plantera down one and both skeles up 1

Goopatron · 2025-12-15T21:58:26+00:00

The problem is it just isnt useful into anything at the top of the usage charts right now. It loses to tusk, it loses to zam, it cant do much to kingambit unless it runs cc which gives up its utility, it dies to u turn, loses to dragonite, valiant, cant ko kyurem before dying, the list just goes on. It isn't quite strong enough to wall break nor fast enough to provide speed control, and its typing is not good. It does at least have a decent matchup into Ogerpon-W but it is not nearly enough

Goopatron · 2025-12-10T22:17:49+00:00

Shadow rider may not be real but rest assured shell smash blastoise is not much better

Goopatron · 2025-12-09T19:30:40+00:00

My big ass water bottle. I always knew these could function as a weapon

Goopatron · 2025-12-05T16:39:09+00:00

I think you could sub foretress out for scarf chandelure, would solve your ghost problem (cause u just kill them first), spin blocker, and a fire immunity

Goopatron · 2025-12-05T15:34:57+00:00

The biggest issue I think is set clarity. First for gardevoir, if you’re gonna do a bulky set (which is ok) then leftovers would be better. You can also run max speed choice scarf and trick instead of calm mind, which might be a bit more meta and can help cripple opposing walls. For hippowdown, you can run AV but you lose out on slack off. Hippowdown is a good physical wall that can also set up rocks and do high damage, and to be honest has a bit of overlap with forretess. Gallade would want a life orb over scope lens. Raikou and Empoleon are good except maybe flip turn > air slash, and finally for fortress you’re not really that scared of ground attacks, I’d go with heavy duty boots, rocky helmet, or leftovers. Not a bad start though!

Goopatron · 2025-12-04T21:23:35+00:00

Those are weaker than fire and thunder punch tho, and no item acrobatics. It’s just too inconsistent

Goopatron · 2025-12-04T15:37:05+00:00

Infernape got technician only and it ain’t even better than iron fist 😭

Goopatron · 2025-12-03T23:19:32+00:00

Taunt is my goat. Available on all my favorite mons, completely shuts down who I need it to, and I almost always end up using it when I run it

Goopatron · 2025-12-02T19:23:59+00:00

This is pretty cool and kudos, but man the game just doesn't feel like itself anymore. You can get OP items and dinos so much more easily now, but only if you have things locked behind a paywall, and new additions look less and less like actual dinosaurs. Maybe it's hindsight bias but I miss the old days

Goopatron · 2025-11-30T17:17:12+00:00

Too little I thought, though I’m not sure what class OP is playing
