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

BBQ dodgy happen I game. It's usually just bulbs regardless of the terror

What

So I decided to play in a Random huge map with me versus all bot slots with ghandi. I also would like to say that I never played in a difficulty higher than prince. So I expect the butt rape to be extreme. We are going to face obliteration just to test the Ghandi Myth (that seems more fact than myth) and we will provide screenshots of the game progress. I will choose a map and the victory conditions and will post a screenshot shortly just to see if you guys wanna add anything more.

I remember I played a random huge map with continents. I played as Russia and I was left by myself on a huge island continent. Needless to say, I spread out and prospered :v:

Before he reaches the modern era, you can literally demand gold off ANY ghandi and he'll hand it over. His early game military can be flattened by the white flag that they try to raise to ask for peace. He just makes unreasonable requests for free copper and gold, Don't accept ANY of it.

[QUOTE=Eeshton;39314034]trading techs seems kinda...OP? depending on what you use it for. being able to bestow super future tech on people seems kinda unfair. also, does anyone else think that once a technology is researched by 50% (or 60% or 70%, balancing issue) of the civs it should be unlocked for everyone. I mean that makes sense, if 7 out of the 10 civilizations in the world have muskets, I think it's logical to assume that the other 3 can acquire the knowledge without researching it.[/QUOTE] You're right in that trading tech was rediculously OP, in SMAX and Civ 4, you were better off selling all techs you make 9/10 times, and to sell them to absolutely everyone, as as soon as the AI gets the tech, you bet your ass it's going to trade it with another AI for gold. And as to your second point, the game actually already factors this in from what I know. The amount of beakers that a tech costs goes down by a small amount for each civ that already knows the tech. It's not much, but it is there, and is pretty noticable if you are the civ at the bottom of the tech rankings.

I still maintain that Japan has the best bonus. Japan always dominates the battlefield.

[QUOTE=GhostlyGob;39319986]I still maintain that Japan has the best bonus. Japan always dominates the battlefield.[/QUOTE] France is OP. Nuff said.

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;39320176]France is OP. Nuff said.[/QUOTE] I seriously have to wonder what they where thinking when they made some of the bonuses. I wouldn't mind the limited time thing until steam power if it was super good, but +2 culture per city is kinda meh when you could have Bushido.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;39320313]I almost always play Japan or the Arabs, Japan's combat bonus is ridiculous, and the extra resources from Bazaar's are awesome.[/QUOTE] and then there's the pretty fucking useless ones i.e. Indian & American 50% off buying tiles is an awful bonus

Racials really depend on the map and how you're aiming to play / win, but I have to say that Ghandi's bonus is underpowered as hell. Sure you can grow twice as tall, but you are penalised massively for going wide, so you're basically gambling on the fact that you'll get a very very good start spot, and have 3 massive cities. Takes quite a bit of luck to do, and even then, you'd be fine going tall as any other civ, and getting their bonus instead. Polynesia's bonus is overpowered as hell, though that does depend on map type, it's not so sharp on pangaeas :v: [QUOTE=Omilinon;39320401]and then there's the pretty fucking useless ones i.e. Indian & American 50% off buying tiles is an awful bonus[/QUOTE] Can't say I like the American bonus, but I've heard that it can be quite useful on deity, especially early game, where buying that tile that gives one more hammer will allow for you to get a boost up later.

I like the free harbors from Carthage, build all your cities at the coast and pick the science from trade routes pantheon.

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;39321195]that +2 culture can really help you get liberty completed for a quick settler and worker.[/QUOTE] would you rather that over bushido bullshit?

Spain's racial bonus is terrible.

Also, anyone wanna do a co-op or vs civ 5 campaign? Always wanted to do it.

I'm down also even though Japan's bonus is amazing I always notice they suck when played by AI. they're almost always the lowest score for me

[QUOTE=GhostlyGob;39321424]Also, anyone wanna do a co-op or vs civ 5 campaign? Always wanted to do it.[/QUOTE] moi

Well you guys just wanna go at it as a trio? And japan sucks as AI because AI is like "lets be defensive and not use my bonus"

whats your steam?

Added you on steam griff, your links is wrong though eeshton

I'm up for one too.

[url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/leeenfield2[/url] [editline]23rd January 2013[/editline] then add me chicken shit

coop civ mp is dumb killing AIs in war is boring, I'd much rather fight an intelligent foe and risk more than fight the same boring one-off ai again and again. coop takes all the fun out of it

^then add me and lets do this shit [editline]23rd January 2013[/editline] Currently got 3 people ready (including me) add me on steam. Lets see if we can get 8 players.

[QUOTE=GhostlyGob;39321210]would you rather that over bushido bullshit?[/QUOTE] Yes, I never play with warfare [editline]23rd January 2013[/editline] Well, fuck I'll join you

hold up steam is being an ass with loading. [editline]22nd January 2013[/editline] there we go

jesus christ thanks for waiting on me, waited a whole of 8 minutes i got another person to play so it can be 3v3 if you want to wait 2 goddamn seconds

I lost connection to steam, how annoying, did you get my invite?
