Civilization V - Civ: causing all nighters since 1991 - Games

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;36579379]Unique luxury items gives you 4, duplicates give you 1. 2 cottons gives you 5 happiness[/QUOTE] From the Civ wiki: [quote]Luxury resources provide happiness. Each improved strategic resource tile provides one of that resource to the empire that controls it. If an empire has access to more than one of the same luxury resource the happiness effect is the same as having access to only one. Luxury resources may be traded to other empires. [/quote] Also in my current game I have 8 silk and only get 4 happiness for silk.

Wait, then what does the text under the list of luxury resources you have say?

I think after taking the nuked city of Berlin, it dropped my literacy rating badly. The Huns got killed once and then I liberated them and their cities changed hands on average of three times during the game.

I always try to get a peaceful victory, but these motherfuckers keep attacking me (which is why I try to have at least 6 nukes at all times).

The Byzantines declared war on me for no reason and I destroyed the force they sent to invade me. I tried to negotiate peace after that but the dumb whore wanted all my money and resources. Then I attacked one of her cities and got my entire army wiped out and now she wants all my cities except for Moscow and all my money. And I can't produce units fast enough to be able to defend and I'll never be able to take my cities back because everyone except Spain decided they don't like me.

Just spawned on a continent with Montezuma, Caesar, and Alexander. Welp.

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;36592729]Just spawned on a continent with Montezuma, Caesar, and Alexander. Welp.[/QUOTE] I tried playing a round as Ethiopia the other day. I spawned on a Pangea map with: Alexander Atila Motezuma Genghis Khan Songhai/Asaki and a few others. Had around 3 different invasions within the first 100 turns. fuck that noise.

All hail mighty Bismark, conqueror of the English people and soon to be master of the indians (at least in the mainland) [img]http://gyazo.com/253fb6ad4bb9513418e8900de3162a1c.png?1341255111[/img]

If any of you mod your game, [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=79000477"]InfoAddict[/URL] is a must, or [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=79708139"]InfoAddict Vanilla[/URL] if you don't have the expansion. I also recommend looking though [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=76902176"]Whoward's Pick 'N Mix Mods[/URL]

I had issues with this with MP, turns would eventually feel like 1minute+ and saves corrupting. Is it much better now? Expansion is tempting.

Right now I am a burgeoning republic that has control of all of North America. I'm trying to go for a Diplomatic Victory so I'm playing nice with the City-States. I founded the religion of Tengriism and it's spreading like wildfire. Egypt adopted my religion and I'm allied with him. Siam is going to it's limits trying to keep their religion prominent in S. America but my 'Religious Text' bonus is just making him buckle slowly. I am the biggest exporter of silver and truffles and my economy is going up constantly and my people are consistently happy through the commerce social policy. I also called my northernmost city that is mining 80% of my country's silver 'The Wall.'

Playing an MP game Game crashes so I drop Rejoin the game AI had taken over for a few turns AI had built a new city in the worst possible place, fucked my economy right up and I discovered that you can't raze your own cities Bloody computers man

Does anyone else love watching cities grow? Seeing buildings grow across rivers and other hexes is pretty cool.

How do I enhance my religion? I just got my second Great Prophet and don't see a button for it.

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;36592729]Just spawned on a continent with Montezuma, Caesar, and Alexander. Welp.[/QUOTE] Just focus on getting a strong economy and then bribing other civs to attack each other, it's cheaper and more effective than focusing on buying/creating units to protect you. Though you still always have to focus on the latter as well.

[QUOTE=smug.gif;36598962]How do I enhance my religion? I just got my second Great Prophet and don't see a button for it.[/QUOTE] The Great Prophet must be inside your Holy City (Where you founded the religion) and then a book icon should appear. Might not work if you already used the great prophet to spread religion to other cities though.

Played my first game of this the other day and this is hilarious. Annexed some city state(Not even sure why really but they were in the way) and Sweden gets all pissed because they agreed to protect them. Good job I said and continued on my way to world domination. Apparently Sweden weren't as cool with this as I thought they were and hit me with some bullshit sneak attack on my capital city, Seoul. I lose my capital in the surprise as I had mistakenly moved my entire army to the border of another city state hoarding some natural wonder that I wanted. Luckily I'm already ahead in military tech so I recapture Seoul promptly and then let them know what's up by capturing Stockholm. Those pesky Swedes admit defeat and I thought that's that so I decide to tech up faster so I can win with this space race that Carthage has somehow managed to already start on(I don't even know where these guys are on the map). In the end I spent all game just capturing Swedish cities because they just won't give up on their conquest to have Stockholm back for some reason(can't understand why). England showed up briefly but then ran off again and gave me all their gold which was great. All this dicking around caused me to lose the space race abysmally though, turns out I wasn't the economic and technological superpower I thought I was. There doesn't seem as much to do in the modern+ era though, what's up with that? I remember in the last Civilization I played, which was tragically.. Civilization you had to deal with global warming I think fucking up all your tiles. I was dropping nukes like fucking crazy in another game after my first one above so that an entire continent was covered and I suffered no ill-effects(other than diplomatically) from my actions.

Yeah it would be nice to have more effects besides fallout that you can easily get rid of in one turn.

[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;36598877]Does anyone else love watching cities grow? Seeing buildings grow across rivers and other hexes is pretty cool.[/QUOTE] Shame that they don't change in appearance once you go any higher than 20 citizens.

That blows, having a massive hive like city would be amazing after seeing it grow from a 5 building village.

So I was playing a MP game of Civ 5 with some guys from /vg/ and this is what happened: They put on raging barbarians, I moved my settler a few tiles south to settle, as my settler stops, a barbarian encampment was right next to it. They took my settler BEFORE I made a city... We had to restart because of that and then my laptop crashed, they found a replacement for me. That sucked.

[QUOTE=Viper202;36600274]Shame that they don't change in appearance once you go any higher than 20 citizens.[/QUOTE] I'd love to see them grow all the way to their borders.

I think it's funny how your own mistakes you make would translate into a real-world scenario. For example, I sometimes have trouble remembering where all my units are and I usually forget a few when I mobilize towards a new enemy. I usually end up forgetting my great generals because I keep them on "sleep" most of the time. Imagine how this would work in the real world: "Holy shit I think we forgot to invite Patton." "Fuck, not again."

Not counting Alpha Centauri, Civ V is my first Civ game. Question about the earlier Civ Games, were rivers their own tiles or were they between tiles like they are now?

[QUOTE=ReligiousNutjob;36603756]Not counting Alpha Centauri, Civ V is my first Civ game. Question about the earlier Civ Games, were rivers their own tiles or were they between tiles like they are now?[/QUOTE]In Civ III and IV they're between tiles, buggered if I know what they were like in I and II.
