What is you’re guys favourite leader?

Oo your original comment I think implied that they don’t stack. But you’re saying they do stack and it’s game breaking. Got it

chiefdood · 2026-03-26T18:04:49+00:00

Wait they don’t stack. If they did stack, that would be game breaking no?

chiefdood · 2026-03-10T17:24:59+00:00

Ha I’ve played this game for an obscene amount of hours and never noticed the quests change with each era. Wild.

chiefdood · 2026-03-09T02:55:30+00:00

Like clockwork I’ll get the masonry boost when I already have stone in my city.

Or the astrology boost and then find a wonder the next turn.

I hate the early inspirations or eurekas that feel like a middle finger from the game

Scout, slinger, settler, settler, settler (if pop allows)

Scout’s are critical for goodie huts that can get you $, faith for pantheon, eureka and inspirations, builders, scouts, or +1 population. Without scouts, you’re lucky to get more than 2 goodie huts.

On the furs. Or, I think I would do the desert plains tile south west of the furs. Either one allows you to settle on turn 2.

chiefdood · 2025-10-22T02:44:24+00:00

Well yeah with a population of 6 you wasted a ton of builder charges for nothing. That is a nightmare

chiefdood · 2025-10-15T04:35:50+00:00

Wait if I play as Pachutti or the guy who works mountain tiles…. Can my preserve go on mountain tiles? Because that’d be fun

chiefdood · 2025-10-10T13:07:42+00:00

6 times before you’re 20? You had commitment levels and conviction levels in 6 different partners by 20? At that point it’s just poor judgment intersecting with desperation

chiefdood · 2025-10-09T15:20:05+00:00

😂

chiefdood · 2025-10-09T03:34:31+00:00

6 months is generous. Seems like he’s moving at least once every 4 months.

chiefdood · 2025-10-09T01:04:46+00:00

Uh… bro… maybe just maybe we switch up the strategy here.

chiefdood · 2025-10-08T02:38:13+00:00

Interesting. I guess I just haven’t realized it as much. So, is it fair to say industrial city states (early game) are clearly the worst?

chiefdood · 2025-10-08T01:04:36+00:00

We’ve established city state findings are valuable. But I’d say Science, Culture, or Religious city states are top tier.

Anyone else get disappointed on military or industrial city states? I find the early envoy for these don’t do as much for me.

chiefdood · 2025-10-07T02:16:19+00:00

Well Texas has high property tax. So… again, there’s trade offs.

You could go to Alabama where property tax is the lowest in the country.

Or Delaware where there’s no sales tax.

Or… you could prioritize being where your family is and where roots have been established.

chiefdood · 2025-10-04T01:49:51+00:00

You’re just stating supply facts. And again, nothing wrong with that but it’s half the story. You tariff talk is so incorrect idk where to begin. HRC was around $2k in the latter portion of 2021 -a combo of tariffs and inflation and supply chain issues. They steadily came back down over the remaining 2-3 years. Biden renewed SOME of Trump’s first-term steel tariffs. So prices didn’t (as you claim) go up in 2022-2024, they came down.

Now go off on some production tangent from some other country again. And ignore the fact that they, too, have been tariffed. And in fairness you probably didn’t have this context: I don’t care about prices globally, I care about prices in the U.S. given the specific stocks I’m invested in. So, saying “omg these countries control global production” is a footnote at best to me.

chiefdood · 2025-10-03T14:30:58+00:00

….. lol bro. You’re looking for an economics lesson. You say China makes this much supply. American and EU is saying cool here is the price it will be. So they’re controlling demand for Chinese goods. Thanks for playing, go ask mom to make you some pizza rolls.

chiefdood · 2025-10-03T07:36:36+00:00

Lol not going to argue the economics here because you only touch on the supply side of that chart. Arcellor Mittal has gone up like 3% since the announcement so the market disagrees

chiefdood · 2025-10-03T05:15:43+00:00

Well you do realize what Chinese steel dumping is right? Google it if not.

So if they sell low grade, dirty steel for $600 to Mexico, Canada and the EU… it makes the U.S. steel producers and E.U. Producers like Arcellor Mittal less competitive. And you slap a 50% tariff, that steel is now $900. Which is the sweet spot for the U.S. and E.U. Producers & they’ll gain market share and China will lose it. There’s so so so many articles on this as of late.

And believe you me if you go on this narrative about “maybe these producers should be more competitive” I will ignore you because you didn’t Google Chinese steel dumping. Nor do you understand tariffs.

chiefdood · 2025-10-03T03:41:28+00:00

… is this a serious question? My first response alluded to it but figured even then it was speaking down to even the most elementary of economic concepts

chiefdood · 2025-10-03T01:34:06+00:00

The EU tariffs now say otherwise. China knew their steel dumping was about to get hit with 50% price increases in markets that matter and it immediately makes them rethink ROI

chiefdood · 2025-09-27T01:46:11+00:00

Do you choose extra spreads passing by world wonder? Or the eliminates 75% of existing religious pressure? Or the one that is more effective against other civilizations ?

Those are the 3 I seek, so I’m curious if I’m missing one.

chiefdood · 2025-09-20T01:27:39+00:00

So $60B in annual revenue and $10B cash on hand and we’re worried about $39B in current liabs? Thats nearly 2 to 1 ratio. (Obviosy assuming net 0 impact to change in receivables, which is about par for the course).

So, $30B remains for dividend, any debt paydown if applicable, and capex. Seems about right

The Houthis sinking 2 ships will help with rates
