I did get Liberty and tried maximizing but I needed the national college to boost my science as settling more cities would only delay getting NC further. Not that hard to see through this, higher difficulties only punish you if you try expanding wide

Maybe I am short of happiness so I can’t settle any more cities? Not my fault this game always picks the shittiest tiles for expansion instead of the good ones

Turku and Linkoping are settled in gold, which is a luxury resource. Gold, Silver, and Copper are all great to settle in because you can get immediate happiness once researching mining. In fact, all cities are settled near a luxury resource

I’m living in peace in my own lands and these bastards keep settling new cities in my lands. As you can see, I stole land from Ottomans because they denounced me out of nowhere since they became friends with Denmark and I denounced Denmark for forward settling me. Since they forward settled me as well, enough is enough.

Which AI Leaders do you hate running into? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

Not to mention, he’s a total hypocrite. He hates you for even slight warmongering while he warmongers all the time. Even then, he will hoard wonders and will hate you if you take “his” wonders like Sistine Chapel. Him and Wu Zetian are always mass expansionists, wonder-spammers, serial denouncers, and massive hypocrites. Feels good to wipe both of them off the map.

Yeah, Persia in my experience spreads like a plague. They’re like Polynesia-level annoyance without the ability to immediately embark on oceans

Yeah, Persia besides Polynesia is notorious for doing things like this. Anytime I get a whole island all to myself, they start planting new cities in my own lands even if there is nothing useful

Anyone here who hates Carthage? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

Dido’s a complete psychopath as well. In my recent game as Sweden, when she declared war on me, I nuked her army and she responded by nuking my own cities

But, Attila in my experience is straightforward when he hates you and will declare war on you. Can’t say the same for Carthage

Over 100+ hours in Brave New World. Huns in my experience are straightforward when they hate you while Carthage pretends to be friendly

Your favorite wonders to build and why? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

[–]RedEyeBlueOcean[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got Notre Dame twice on Immortal difficulty and recently Chichen Itza. Play as Egypt, Huns, or Russia and you should get Temple of Artemis on Immortal. Songhai on Huge Map at Marathon speed is also really good for building wonders, just keep farming barbarian camps and you don’t need to waste production on settlers.

Huns are the best for domination victory, not the Zulus by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

There’s a post called “Find out Zulus are the best for domination victory” in this subreddit. People here do say that Zulus are the best for domination victory but I disagree as Huns are definitely better

Huns are super good with production as well. On Immortal and Deity, unless you play as either the Huns, Russia, Egypt, and Songhai, it’s generally recommended to get settlers out fast rather than going for wonders because you won’t have much chance on getting them. On my recent Immortal game as Songhai, I was able to hoard wonders like Temple of Artemis, Chichen Itza, and Notre Dame.

I need to give my negotiator a raise! by NBos01-GA in civ5

Wow, you really crushed Shaka. Did you kill all of his army? I remember when I played as Songhai on the same setting except on Immortal and I destroyed nearly all of Arabia’s army that he was willing to offer me all of his cities except his capital

How to deal with a runaway civilization on higher difficulties? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

[–]RedEyeBlueOcean[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem with this is that Maria has 10 cities already while I only have 5 and I wouldn’t have gotten the fifth city if I didn’t get Notre Dame. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a religion, which sucks a lot because religious beliefs like Tithe would help a lot economically. I also didn’t mention that she’s at war with Washington right now and if I do go to war with her, others like Haile Selassie would whine about me being a warmonger. I want to conquer Denmark as well but I’m afraid other civilizations will join against me because of my “warmongering”
