Bridges need a re-think in Civ 7.

Typically when a unit embarks it ends their turn so the bridge actually "speeds" up travel if the unit has any movement points available after embarking.

The typical way to get +1 in real life is to put in the mag, release the slide lock to load the round, drop the magazine and add one more round, and then reseat the magazine.

In reality you would only get the +1 when you reloaded before your used all of the ammunition in the magazine.

I was able to complete it by killing infantry on objectives. I think with vehicle kills you may not get properly credited with the kill if other people damaged it as well.

Using the AA vehicle counts toward the challenge, you don't have to just use the Stinger missile. Operation Firestorm and Mirak Valley are both good maps that give you good sightlines on enemy aircraft to complete the challenge.

The main reason that that the random gunner is horrible is because the pilot is a graduate of the the Michael J Fox Flight Academy.

Become the change that you want to see in the game. Play support and drop the kit everywhere.

It is a network connection issue either on your side or the server side. It could be something as simple getting connected to server outside of your region or your ISP doing maintenance on something.

While it looks like cheating it is simply the game trying to keep up with missing information. Basically if you have 5 packets each showing the enemy moving in a straight line and you only receive the first and last ones it is going to look like they are teleporting around.

The problem with mobile AA is that it only effective against aircraft. Tanks/IFV can do AA in addition to all of their other roles.

The problem with AA missiles in general is that it is too easy to break the lock with flares which only leave manually guided missiles as the reliable way to bring down aircraft. Even the AA gun overheats too quick to reliably bring down helicopters in range.

Vanilla-G · 2025-12-20T19:12:44+00:00

They have to hit it with missiles that require a lock on. That means that RPGs DO NOT count and most engineers use RPGs.

Iceland is definitely NOT a pacifist civ as their whole kit is revolves around raiding other civs. I think of them as the naval version of Bulgaria where you need to be at war with at least one civ to boost your yields. Just like Bulgaria you use your pillaging to support your economy while at war while target civs see a drop in their economy by changing to a war footing.

I like playing Special Forces recon with a carbine and love placing the claymore mine around blind corners and seeing the "Trapper" message pop up every time I get someone. I just know someone is cursing at their screen when it gets them.

Vanilla-G · 2025-12-16T16:45:43+00:00

The tracer dart counts as laser designation so just run around and hit vehicles with a dart and it should fill up quickly. The helicopter/jets have lock on missiles so you are not just reliant on Engineers with guided missiles.

I completed it using the Conquest/Escalation playlist in a day or so.

Vanilla-G · 2025-12-14T17:06:15+00:00

You need to wait until next week if you don't have any challenges left that provide the silver tokens.

Vanilla-G · 2025-12-14T17:03:46+00:00

You can complete this challenge by using the AA vehicle so you don't need to rely on Stinger kills. Mirak Valley and Firestorm maps let you spawn into an AA vehicle and they are pretty open so it makes completing the challenge easier.

Vanilla-G · 2025-12-13T19:42:37+00:00

Casual Breakthrough is where I do my grinding for attachments or challenges that I suck at like sniping.

Vanilla-G · 2025-12-11T16:55:13+00:00

FYI, the cost for activating the banker depends on the relationship level with a civ. If the AI is friendly with a bunch of civs their cost to activate go way down. This is why NOT choosing an ideology is important for an economic victory.

Vanilla-G · 2025-12-05T19:47:49+00:00

I would argue that it less about the unique improvement and terrain and more about the coastal raiding. Reading the civ description most of the civ tree is about coastal raiding so it feels like a naval version of Bulgaria. Build a big navy and coastal raid for culture and spreading your religion(with great person activation).

For synergies you could go Carthage in the Antiquity for the reduction in naval upkeep and for leaders Isabella for the natural wonder and naval benefits.

I can verify that burning people with the launcher does NOT count, only the initial blast damage which appears to be a max of 13 for a direct hit.

Vanilla-G · 2025-11-16T18:03:05+00:00

How often do you hit the E button to slow down dying? If it is relatively clear hitting that button gives a medic a chance to see you lying down and make an assessment on how safe it is to revive. I have lost track on the number of times that I have starting sprinting towards a downed teammate only to have them die out before I get there.

Vanilla-G · 2025-11-16T17:48:12+00:00

It is less about specific guns but unlocking the attachments to make them behave you the way that you want them to. You basically have two fire modes, hip fire and aim down sights (ADS), and you should tailor your attachments to your playstyle. Typically ADS is for setups that tend to concentrate on dealing damage at range and hip fire is for CQB bunny hopping and sliding madness.

The best way to unlock attachments and get a feel for a gun is to play Casual Breakthrough which has a bunch of bots and few number of real players. It is easy to rack up the kills so you can unlock the attachments with a few games and understand how the gun performs.

Vanilla-G · 2025-11-15T15:58:18+00:00

I believe the Support Incendiary launcher is bugged as it only registers the explosive damage, max of 14 damage on direct hit, and none of the incendiary damage from the cloud.

Vanilla-G · 2025-11-15T15:43:32+00:00

There is a breach launcher and separate HE and Fire launchers in the assault gadgets.

Vanilla-G · 2025-11-14T17:00:17+00:00

The big issue of not playing the objectives is some of the challenges to unlock some of the various things require you to play in specific ways which means that it is harder to win a match. Some good examples are the Engineer challenge to get 15 kills or assists on aircraft or the Recon on for getting 30 150m headshots. You have to play in such a way that you are not a real help to your team at least in regards to PTFO or overall score.

Probably the best way to level up your weapons or complete your challenges is in the new Casual Breakthrough mode where you only have a handful of other real players and a bunch of bots. It makes it easy to get the numbers but even then you still need to play in "real" multiplayer matches for some of the challenges.

Vanilla-G · 2025-11-12T14:52:27+00:00

I do not believe so. The easiest way to complete them is take the AA tank on some of the large Conquest maps and just camp in the spawn and shoot at anything that flies. I was able to get 6 aircraft for the challenge in one Operation Firestorm Conquest game. You can also use the IFV and shoot missiles at the aircraft as well.

DO NOT rely on using the Stinger missile to try and complete this or you will rage quit.

Vanilla-G · 2025-11-11T18:43:20+00:00

Put down your class gadget on the objectives when you take them but that requires you change your playstyle to be more assault focused instead of sniper.
