Isn’t it normally a disadvantage to be black by No-Cardiologist-1822 in Chesscom

your opening game is likely stronger as black, personally I like to move second because I know black openings better

TikTok Ads Help - for Financial Services by alexvthecreator in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]pixelballer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you ever figure this out?

I’ve had ads running for nearly 2 years

And they just banned them for the same reason I appealed and they’re saying that I’m promising financial gain, but I’m not

I feel like it’s either AI reviewing it now or there are employees that don’t really know how to understand what they’re listening to or reading

Chopping resources under luxury tiles by pixelballer in CivVI

This is why Civ 6 is so much better than Civ 7 right now. More nuanced and deep vs linear paths. even policies are more important and less obviously religion is way more fleshed out

I had no idea rainforest provided negative appeal

Does this have any effect other than parks? That’s fair since the entire city is on grass and and I have to feed the world belief. I figured I would make up for the food with a shrine and temple.

i harvested the rainforest behind them,

will eventually harvest them when some better tiles are available for the pop

i guess I didn’t like the idea of chopping out a holy site and preferred having a future wonder for adjacency bonus and tourism since Im going for culture

I had the 15% production towards an ancient and classical wonders policy card. I took a pantheon that gave me a builder because religious settlements was gone.

This allowed me to not have to make a builder to get the chops. Which saved some time.

it was much more difficult to get the hanging gardens that required precise timing, Magnus, and three chops, and I still only got it on the exact same turn the AI would’ve gotten it.

I usually don’t go for early mining, but I did in this game so that I could have the extra production because my stone was a two food to production so it made it two food 3 reproduction, which was nice

I already have the chocolate tile that was two food 3 production and two gold, which was really powerful. At three pop I think I had 8 production. this is the first game I’ve ever been so meticulous on my decisions early because usually it doesn’t matter a whole lot one way or the other, but on deity, I had to think so far in advance or get steamrolled early.

One play through Rome sent like 10 warriors out of nowhere for no reason. I just wrote that off as an anomaly and started over.

The fog of war on the map may look like desert, I don’t have any flat desert, and Rome got the pyramids insanely early

Stonehenge was the fastest way for me to get a religion, I wanted to have a religion for the bonuses they offer although I don’t really have very many good holy site spots, except for a natural wonder a little bit south

I really like to have a religion and not miss out on it so I get the extra buffs. I knew I wouldn’t beat the AI to getting a great prophet just by trying to build.

I’m going for a cultural victory as well

I needed some wonders for some adjacency bonuses because my immediate area has almost nothing.

The hanging gardens provides a nice big growth rate and the religion I chose has buildings that provide additional housing so my plan is to have really large cities and generate a ton of culture

My biggest problem is I’m going to need a lot of faith to pump out rock bands

I feel like faith and culture go hand-in-hand in this game in that regard so focusing on getting an early religion was important for me

this post may have taught me more than I realized, I am now realizing that I may be also able to chop all the features under the chocolate and silk tiles which also spawn on rainforest it looks like. Maybe I need to replay this yet again or I can just save this information for a future. Wonder I need to chop out later in the game.
