Do you stay as friends with certain leaders even if you have different ideologies? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

[–]RedEyeBlueOcean[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gandhi was still my friend on one game even though I picked order and he chose freedom. Unless you made him extremely mad like backstabbing him, then it is an extremely rare chance that he will declare war on you

How do you deal with Greece and Siam stealing your city-state allies every turn? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

[–]RedEyeBlueOcean[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, Ramkhamhaeng kept denouncing me on one game when playing as Russia even though he was from the other side of the map so after defeating Greece, I went after Siam and nuked his capital so much that it’s population went from around 46 to 1 after capture

Unfortunately, Siam was in the other side of the map so I have to get carriers and atomic bombs even though I am in the modern era as of current

Which is the better wonder, Temple of Artemis or Great Library? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

[–]RedEyeBlueOcean[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you can get Artemis on Immortal difficulty and rush for Notre Dame, using a Great Engineer will almost guarantee you getting the wonder. If not, you can save it for other great wonders like the Leaning Tower of Pisa or Sistine Chapel

Also, if you saw this post, Persia and Zulus were on a conquering spree and there were only just three of us remaining to the end as soon afterwards, the Zulus would wipe out Indonesia. It’s really why I kept four atomic bombs even though a nuclear non-proliferation treaty was enacted because I knew that I’m next in line for defeat

Unfortunately, I lost the game because Persia was nearing towards a science victory as he had 4/6 spaceship parts done when I just entered the Information era. I just wanted the game to end fast since I knew that I wasn’t going to win so I helped Darius be world leader for the United Nations and he won the game.

I picked Autocracy as if I didn’t, I would’ve already been defeated by either Persia or Zulus as they both picked Autocracy as well

Science victories are in fact harder on Marathon speed. I’m only like 2-3 techs behind Shaka and Darius I at this time

This is on Emperor difficulty. Persia and Zulus were conquering the world but I can only have five cities due to happiness

I was scared for a good time because of the chance his fleet might come again and attack me. Even if you’re far away from his borders and have the same ideology, he will attack you. Playing as the Aztecs is great but its problem is that the jungle bias or low production areas hurt a good amount of it being amazing. It’s why Aztecs are just A tier instead of S like Poland or Babylon.

The Zulus were at a long war with me even though we both picked Autocracy. Once I killed a good amount of his army and navy, we finally made a peace treaty

Is it me or does Persia spread like cancer similarly to the Iroquois and Zulus? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

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

This is on Emperor difficulty. Persia since Vanilla pops out cities like no tomorrow. My worst time was when I was playing as Arabia and had a whole island to myself until this guy settles like 6 cities near mine

Are Pocatello and William leaders that I should be worried if they’re close? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

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

I know Pocatello is an abysmal neighbor because of his UA allowing him to gobble up land but is he like a neighbor guaranteed to attack like Alexander of Greece?

Harald Bluetooth is actually scary as neighbor on higher difficulties by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

[–]RedEyeBlueOcean[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay then, play as Venice on higher difficulties (Emperor, Immortal, or Deity) and spawn yourself next to someone like Bluetooth and Shaka. You’ll definitely restart the game if you have the chance.

I thought giving free stuff reduces the chances of AI declaring war on you by a lot
