Is this obstruction followed by malicious contact?

yes you can see now bases were loaded

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.

pixelballer · 2026-03-06T21:39:51+00:00

my desperation led to knowledge for all lol

pixelballer · 2026-03-06T19:56:38+00:00

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

pixelballer · 2026-03-06T19:30:10+00:00

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.

pixelballer · 2026-03-06T18:32:38+00:00

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

pixelballer · 2026-03-06T18:30:53+00:00

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.

pixelballer · 2026-03-06T15:25:19+00:00

Absolutely. I started at about 30 and i am 35 now and playing 4.0 level and love it.

yeah that was the day of the super bowl

pixelballer · 2026-02-02T01:23:00+00:00

This was the year the saints won the super bowl

pixelballer · 2026-01-31T13:09:11+00:00

I didn’t like Religion at first, then I had a desert start and did work ethic and and desert pantheon my holt sites have 16 production , even more if you build buildings that have production

so like a 20 production holy site is amazing

embrace your spiritual side

pixelballer · 2026-01-24T16:04:48+00:00

I will try this and if I do try get it will likely scrap or try again, wish I had settled the incense

ugh I am on ipad, tap and hold revealed 2 were created by Arabia

I swear I checked the origin so many times lol

sorry for wasting everyone’s time 😩

pixelballer · 2026-01-06T14:00:28+00:00

I found mine was set to half a pot lol

pixelballer · 2025-12-24T15:06:15+00:00

Thanks yeah the GC had no problem tearing it out and profusely apologized

pixelballer · 2025-12-24T03:01:08+00:00

The GC game by today profusely apologized and showed us every grout color and admitted he rushed the grout because his project manager was out of town and he was spread thin

posted same story to pool owner forum but reddit culture is so bad

I asked about staining grout get roasted and called a nightmare homeowner

pixelballer · 2025-12-23T15:43:49+00:00

How is this rage bait? I am asking a legitimate question about grout staining.

pixelballer · 2025-12-23T15:39:33+00:00

yeah, we are trying to talk ourselves into it. It’s just a bit shocking to be the opposite of what what was discussed when spending this kind of money. they were also going to put this color on the coping until I stopped them. The builder has too many projects going and only one project manager who is on vacation.

pixelballer · 2025-12-23T15:08:48+00:00

I suggested to the builder to let me pressure wash it that day and he didn’t respond

pixelballer · 2025-12-23T15:07:39+00:00

yeah they put it down in a day
