so much good stuff with the shoshone
free territory means you can instantly work the best tiles and also grab lots of luxuries
its really strong as a generic "everything will go well for you" civ
They aren't actually that good, but I find Denmark to be really fuck. You can move around and explore so fucking fast once you get Berserkers (who are unlocked early compared to Longswordman anyway)
>>343603463
+20% Culture and Production from all cities, all tiles that produce at least 1 gold produce +1 gold when worked. On top of that, Persia gets +1 movement and +10% strength to all units during a golden age. It's dank.
>>343603659
Uhh, that should say "to be really fun"
>>343603659

theyre pretty neat
Aztecs, but i'm sad that the culture victory change in BNW made them worse
I wanted to try a cultural victory where I settle my cities around other civs and war with them to completely surrond and engulf enemy civs and cities, so they can't really do anything, and then be in a perpetual war with them where they just feed me units to kill for more culture, a bit like what the Aztecs did IRL with flower wars

>>343603956
Aztecs are super weak, the Maya are strong as hell though. One of the strongest in the entire game. So at least one south american civ isn't shit
>>343603968
I also didn't understand it at first. I found the best way to wrap your head around it is to watch LP's where they go for a cultural victory.
>>343603092
>that many fucking tiles around a single city when another civ is close
how
Incas, they destroy the balance of the game.
>>343603968
Tourism is the "offensive" stat in a culture victory and your culture gain serves as the defense. For a culture victory, your tourism needs to eclipse everyone else's culture. For every tier of influence your culture gains with other civs you also get some neat bonuses, like ideological pressure.
>>343603968
basically you use specialists to produce great artists/musicians/writers who produce great works. you put these great works in your amphitheaters/museums/theaters etc. and they generate tourism. certain wonders give you special bonuses if you put the right ones in them.
that's pretty much all there is to it. you get more bonuses for tons of things, like having the same religion, having a trade route, having open borders, sharing an ideology (industrial era social policies) etc.

My brother mains Venice and absolutely dominates 6-8 MP games. His rush to Great Library then Colossus is fucking painful. If anyone tries to outtech him to GL they risk being steamrolled by an Ancient era Military civ,and his economy is so beneficial that to keep him as an enemy is to risk rapidly becoming economically irrelevant. His UU allows him to dominate coasts early on and grab Printing Press so he can form League of Nations and then he just sanctions the shit out of anyone who might turn into a credible threat.
He's too valuable to fight until Medieval and Venice's science and wealth bonuses allow him to be one of the top dogs for tech. And once he hits Medieval Landsknechts can be summoned or dismissed at any time until Venice equals or surpasses your military.
The only way I know how to be him is Ruins rush with the Shoshone for tech and composites or fuck his allies up diplomatically as the Greeks.
>>343604137
Aztecs aren't weak. Civ 5 rewarded building tall and punished building wide unless you really knew what you were doing. Aztecs blew the fuck up if you always went out of your way to build near water so that you'd get the bonus to pop growth from their UB. Every new pop gives you extra science, and as long as you're not settling new cities in a retarded fashion you'll gain enough momentum by mid game to beat anyone save Babylon or maybe South Korea.
>>343605773
Declare war on him. Destroy his caravans and trade ships. Don't bother actually going to the city of venice, get the caravans/ships far away so you dn't need a big army. Congrats, Venice is fucked.

Who the fuck actually takes the Huns in MP in anything more than a 1v1? I can count games on one hand a Human Hun has made it even to Medieval. You choose Huns, everybody knows what's coming, and will team up and faceroll till you are gone or punished so badly you aren't a threat to anyone but AI. At least you can negotiate with Zulus. Huns have zero chance of winning past Medieval and everyone knows Huns are aware of this and will come for you if you dont put them down.
>>343606260
Trade ships are a good idea. I might raid them more. I rarely play naval nations so this could be where I'm messing up.
I know Venice is a joke in smaller sizes, but its hard to juggle wiping them completely when you could be trading with them or threatening for cash and using it against the players in the top 3 point positions.

I've played Venice once in a game with my housemate and filled with A.I. Spain declared war with me around 1300s and then the rest of the world declared War with me in the 1800s for whatever reason. All I wanted to do was be a peaceful trade nation. Does the A.I hate just hate Venice?

Centuries of corruption and stagnation and the Huns actually.

Literally no different from savage ape niggers.

Don't you have to get pretty lucky with Spain in order to benefit from their unique shit? I can't remember exactly how it works desu I just know some of it involves natural wonders.
>>343613934
Are you playing with only like 6 AI though?
>>343613923
See those green, blue, fuchsia, yellow, brown and white numbers? The higher the better, that's it.
>>343613970
If you find a natural wonder first you get 500 gold which is enough to buy a settler before anyone can even produce one.
If you work the natural wonder you get double the yield, this stacks with one with nature and natural heritage sites.
>>343613979

>>343614274
Above king gets pretty hard but it really depends on the individual game, I think. If you get a good start, even higher difficulties are manageable.
So I've won the game a few times now, and I really like it, but all my games seem to just play out until a science / culture win. Early game agression, or hell, any kind of agression, gets you punished really hard. Is there any must-have mods that might even the game out a bit, or make a bit more exciting?

Then it pops up YOU HAVE WON A TIME VICTORY! I look at it, and I'm ahead of the Civ with the most delegates by like 30 points.

I don't really have a favorite, but I like potentially being the best in something through unique self-sufficiency without the constraint of time.
So say I like Byzantium as I can possibly have the BEST religion, but I don't like the Celts who can more reliably get a good religion.
For Science I'll prefer something like Maya with their bonus science building, than Babylon which will science faster, but without any building bonus over other civs.

How are there not more Inca bros here? You get nearly guarenteed production starts for early wonders, the best tile upgrade in the game, and the ability to move freely with all your units across the map. Hill movement is absurdly broken.
>it's a Byzantium/Celts/other religion based AI controlled civ swooping in and stealing all the useful religion bonuses
>>343615139
You tech faster, because of spies, trade routes, and the "already known by other civs" bonus to techs, but you are at risk of being fucking invaded, so you cant focus 100% on research and growth.
>>343615162
I play random 90% of the time, only time I played Inca was a quick game where I tried them out, just ended up nuking Isabella and won. Never got them from random again.

Jungle starts are 5 times worse than in vanilla, you need 5 techs to remove jungle instead of 2, 2 of those 5 techs don't offer anything to help you while you are waiting. Once you finally get the tech to remove jungle you don't have any of the techs to do anything else, you can't see bananas because you need another 2 techs for that, you can't see horses or deer or sheep because those are on the other side of the tech tree, you don't have any of the early game wonders other than statue of zeus which is still garbage.
Another flaw is if you don't have gold producing luxuries you run into massive gold problems in the early game, to the point where you have to not build infrastructure and instead build units to delete for another turn of science.
This is probably more personal taste, but I also don't like how you can't see any of the basic resources at the start so you don't know if your capital will be good or not, whether or not moving to that hill one tile over moves you out of range of 4 sheep.
And probably the biggest balance issue is if your starting settle is on a forest you get an immediate production bonus for clearing the forest when you settle your initial city.
>>343615008
They make just more reasonable trades in general. You don't have to give them 3 luxuries, 4 horses and 11 gold per turn for one luxury of them. You can also trade technologies.
>>343615162
I play Civ 5 through another friend's steam, and they dont have any of the DLC civs except Korea.
I mean, I already bought 3 of the games. Gimme the civs too, gosh darn it.
Anyway my favorite civ is probably Mongolia if you set the map to large (not huge), set the city states to max, and just fucking conquer everything. After a while, granted you have your own religion, you start out-teching people even with like a -195% penalty to science. It goes from YOU being the barbarians, to being the true Americans with Manifest Destiny. The entire world is yours by right.
Once you get Keshiks, city states fall in like 1 turn, so you can essentially conquer cities as fast as you can move; not to mention you can bully the states right before declaring war for nigh-infinite money.
>>343615139
>techs faster on diety because of spies

You wont get a single early wonder if you played on a real difficulty setting, and in multiplayer games the early wonders are honestly meme tier. There are better strategies to win the matches than wonder spamming.
>>343616291
My problem is exactly that. Difficulty doesn't effect AI behaviour enough. Just giving every CPU a production bonus and you a penalty isn't difficult in any way.
If world creator RNG does not shit you the game is easy on everything besides the top 2 highest difficulties - Which are just bullshit.
>>343616016
Even if you fix the AI to be more varied.
CIV V still does not have:
>Terraforming
>Nukes that change the form of the land

>Water worlds
>Unit creator
Of course CIV VI won't have any of that stuff either. It will be a boring piece of shit game with only early game features being worked out but people will still buy it and wait for the 1-2 DLC to bring mid game and end game happenings.
Not like CIV ever had those features. It was also their excuse for Beyond Earth.

Why even bother if you can just get God of the Sea, or even God King? It has better ramping. You already have 25% from being egypt and 15% from being Tradition, the additional 15% from monument of the gods would scale poorly unless you have hard-production to work with it.
At that point even snagging a growth pantheon like Sun God wouldn't be half bad, granted you're still surrounded by tiles with hammers.
There is no need to defend the AI of this game. Even the devs admitted that they did a horrible job.

thats why I wont buy civ 6... I know the first version I buy will be $60 and it wont be that good
I'll have to wait 2 expansions and itll be $60 per expansion if I want a good experience.. $180...
sorry civ, I'm going to pirate till I can get 3 expacs in one for like $50
>reminder that if you not playing at least immortal difficulty you are a casual pleb
>>343616697
>Of course CIV VI won't have any of that stuff either. It will be a boring piece of shit game with only early game features being worked out
tfw I wont buy civ6 until the first expansion is releasedAnd they are bundled on a big salebecause this is always true. Why do they always do this?
>>343603092
>all those unworked forest tiles
>>343616697
So why don't you just play another game?
>>343616857
Most of them are more than 3 tiles away from his city, and unusable.
>>343616878
I do. I keep playing Alpha Centauri and sometimes when i feel like it i play a bit of CIV IV - Simply for the amount of content the game offers.
Im a poorfag and only have two DLCs which are cradles. Someone get me the rest of this shit, looks fun as hell. Didn't even realize these other DLCs were significant until this thread
>>343616697
top 2 difficulties are fine.. its the only way I feel challenged. its just boring to play because theres only 2 or 3 ways to start and if you try to rush ancient library and you dont get it with like 2 or 3 turns left on it, youre pretty much have a 90% chance that you're fucked and too far behind to ever catch up.
>>343616687
>if you let the ai cheat THIS much then it becomes fun
uh huh, whatever you say
>>343616341
>desert folklore
only useful if you have useful desert tiles, not featureless flat desert
>dance of the auroa
which implies you spawned in the tundra, only useful for tundra hills, since chopping forest tundra deer is not worth it and working featureless flat tundra is only slightly better than desert
>goddess of the hunt
useless if you have no camps
>one with nature
useless if you have no natural wonder
>stone circles
useless if you have no quarry resources
>tear of the gods
useless if you have no gems, useless even if you have pearls
>religious idols
useless without gold or silver
>earth mother
useless without iron/copper/salt
>god of the sea
useless if you are inland
>goddess of festivals
very useless, since you have to work wine in the early game for this, flat desert incense is the only thing worse than pearls too
>goddess of protection
very useless, doesn't help you do anything, maybe if you are getting attacked but you have to entirely neglect military for that to happen
>religious settlements
underwhelming, along with the 15% growth one
You get the idea? Godking is the best pantheon that is always useful.
>>343616957
Post boypussi with time stampThen stick a sharpie in itand I will gift you all the dlc and expacs.
>>343616697
as much as I loved civ 5, after getting burned by beyond shit I'm not buying civ 6 until it has 2 expansions
fuck you fire axis
>>343616856
>Why do they always do this?
Because people buy it.
I preordered CIV V after loving CIV IV and later i needed to buy the game again as Gold Edition for 15 bucks to get the DLCs. I refused to buy them full price because the base game was so fucking disappointing.
>>343617006
godking is shit. You always have a better option. Theres never a situation where none of the other better choices don't apply. The goal of a good panteon pick should be to boost your faith so you're guarenteed a religion
>>343616341
Literally 90% of the good and goat pantheons are situational.
Also Religious settlements and Goddess of Protection is NOT good. What the literal fuck are you smoking?
Always loved the Inca because of Terrace Farms. Gives me a huge boner exploring to find that perfect spot to settle in, where I can grow a fuckhuge city that I can do anything with because those few tiles can support so many workers.
Really excited about the district system in Civ6, since it looks like it will allow any civ to play that way.
>>343616937
I thought trade routes provides the worked resource and I thought it expanded up to 5 by the modern era, no?

Beyond Earth was just a crime.
>obviously trying to appeal to Alpha Centauri fans at first it only ended up being a lazy CIV V reskin with less features than CIV V
But not even 10 DLCs could fix the game because its flawed in its core. Alpha Centauri was factions and their ideologies.

Which god king does more than goddess of protection or religious settlements which you put as great tier.
>>343617136
I find godking to be immensely useful if you're 1 city challenging, especially Civs with hammer ramp like Egypt.

Why can't there be an AI that isn't retarded at science so it doesn't get such a massive head start, but can still be challenging?
>>343617202
Trade routes give more money to both civs based on the different Luxury and Strategic resources owned by both civs.
For example, if one civ has gold, and the other has silver, that trade route's base amount will increase by 1.0 gold, each resource providing 0.5.
If both civs have Gold, then you get 0.0 Gold from it, because you cannot trade resources that both cities have for additional gold.
Make sense?
>>343615795
It depends on what environment you spawn. But if you're lucky enough to be surrounded by desert, Desert Folklore is probably the best.

Bushido was much better in Vanilla where the max health was 10, which I guess is why they buffed it slightly in BNW to give culture.

The only modern UU that didn't suck was the Foreign Legion from France, and that was taken away in BNW.

>You only needed one guy to capture the city the Zeros did everything else.
>>343614375
Nobody cares if you do it but it makes the game boring as fuck. Especially considering CIV V is still a flawed experience. If you take out the risk its even more boring than it already is.
>>343603417
This
>>343617553
No, I meant a worked title more than 3 steps from your city provides the bonus to it, if it is on a trade route with someone else. Was I being tricked?

>>343617875
>implying
Late game CIV V blows my man, if you didn't win by that point as a domination Civ you are shit
>>343617940
You get the luxury added to your civ if you improve it from outside city limits, but trade routes (caravans/trade barges) do not trade luxuries.

It's poor design, playing warmonger early is when it's the most fun, and happiness is crippling then. Happiness is trivial late game, when it should affect puppets and occupation far more.

how have these not been balanced yet? obviously you pick tradition every time
>>343619110
Has the base game not received all the rebalancings the trees have gone through?
>>343619158
I mean vanilla as in no mods, should have been more clear
>>343619110
Tradition is the best most of the time but playing against other players or certain AI on certain maps, rushing lib is important for staking out your claim.
>>343603092
Ethiopia with freedom/volunteer army is a lot of fun.
Egypt can be a lot of fun.
