Don't knock the single city strategy, I've had it work really well. Even if I decide to go big I keep it under 3 or 4 cities

I have no idea how to play Civ and I still play it. I just click buttons and try to take over the map. Holla
jaminjimmyjames
That was my first attempt at Civ, too. I remember having no idea how to play the Norse myth version.

That last image is Bismark's wet dream. (Defeat barbarian units, gets a chance to convert the unit to your civ)

I had a friend who literally always played Bismarck, for some reason the barbarians had navies before either of us, he just stole their navy

Civ VI has been announced? Thanks @OP - I'm stoked! The even-numbered Civ games have always been the best. Can't wait.

It's more dangerous to be friendly to ghandi than it is to be enemies, because his aggression goes down when friends and it'll roll over

Last screen calls for multiple nuclear missiles use. That would be kind of... epic :)

I need to bust out my copy of Civ2, but I don't have a couple weeks to lose.
tynansdtm
Found an Android port called FreeCiv. It's pretty beta, and you have to remember what the techs do, but it's fun.
HypnoButler
FreeCiv has been on desktop Linux for as long as I can remember, never got into it. Android Civ... probably can't be worse than PS1 Civ2.
MyBrainIsPlastiDipped
I hope the AI and all the other bugs get fixed. All my automated workers would lock up and sit in cities in Civ 5, and my farms disappeared.
LlewSipher
according to IGN article. AI is a big focus
Kingsgrave
Have you heard about the Community Patch? It fixes a lot of the known bugs.
TheRealRed5
My buddies were on team, one of their auto-workers quit working on his stuff and went and helped the teammate instead by just sitting there.
meeksmcgee
Mine did that too except it he tried to build a transcontinental road through enemy territory

The fall from heaven 2 mod for Civ4 was free, and more entertaining than any paid expansion that civ ever released
lugged
FFH2 is the best Civ game and the best mod. Makes civs actually different (elves build on forest, dwarves happy with gold, etc), mages, etc.
WhiteTexan
Does anyone recall what the Game of Thrones mod was called and which version of Civ it was created for? It was before the hbo series.
YourWaifuIsTrash
Found one for Civ V, not sure if that's the one you were thinking of: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=128722076

Oh hey, I see four forest fires to the north, now I think I know where Acheron the Red is.
HappyEngineer
I've just got into Europa Universalis IV. Compared to Civ it's like a blind man putting on glasses for the first time. So much rich detail!
Ginkodono
So few explanations about the mechanics in EU4 though. It's something Civ5 did pretty well.
HappyEngineer
oh my word yes, it's a steep learning curve. The Castille tutorial works quite well, but with all the DLC it's a deep dark pit of menus
CaptVito

Haile Selassie wasn't merely king of Ethiopia, he was EMPEROR of Ethiopia. He is also regarded as the 2nd coming of Christ by Rastas.

So guys Civilization VI am I right?

i JUST bought civ 5
jaminjimmyjames
I doubt you'll regret it. I'm still rocking it on the daily.
ProvidesYouShittyLinks
Yeah bought it like a month ago. problem is, when i play a game alot i will lose interest quickly. Which means i usually end up playing (1/2
ProvidesYouShittyLinks
like 200 rounds and then stop till next week (2/2)
jaminjimmyjames
I'm reinvigorated every time I see something about a historical figure. For instance, my wife started watching Vickings, cue up Harald
TheVikingWay
Oh shit Civ 6? I'm excited!
LlewSipher
some good changes too imho.
TheVikingWay
I haven't seen the release yet, I'm curious. Onto the interwebs!
LlewSipher
IGN has an article. URL too long to post here
LlewSipher
this might help. https://www.facebook.com/civ/?fref=nf it's down a few posts
TheVikingWay
Oh man, this looks interesting. I think this could be really good, espesh the whole spreading out the cities thing! Thanks for the link!
drewgolas
I have gotten every victory except for military. I've always found it the hardest but all my friends disagree
OverlyCynicalImgurian
Focus economy and technology, get allies, annex the weak.
Kingsgrave
Play Huns starting from ancient era and if you get a battering ram from a ruin you can take 3-4 cities before classical era.
Aerolfoz
I absolutely agree, even if I've gotten it several times... because I played a Science games and had GDR and XCOMs. Against pikemen.
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
Depends on player style. Military victory can be achieved earlier in history so it often is easier, in late game I find others easier.
RyanGiggs11
It's also very dependent on the difficulty level.
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
That too, difficulty level (and number of players vs number of AI) makes a huge difference.
jaminjimmyjames
I always wait until I have aircraft carriers and bombers. Since most capitals are located near water, I can attack with battle ship 1/
jaminjimmyjames
volleys, and bomber strikes. Eventually bomber gets repair every turn, and double attacks. You can capture cities with destroyers, and 2/
jaminjimmyjames
you can garrison a battleship there to help fend off counter attacks. Eventually I sweep through the rest of the capitals with my navy. 3/3
Aerolfoz
About air repair, get the Brandenburg Gate ASAP. Make all the other XP buildings and you can make aircraft with repair straight away there!
Aerolfoz
It is so awesome to roll out auto-repairing aircraft and bomb someone into submission with them, battleships and MLRS.
ColdToes90
Just got my first domination victory this week. If you wait too long you find yourself racing against civs going for science victory.
itsamazing
play Bismarck and put on raging barbarians, get loads of land units early, and then get to dynamite/artillery as fast as you can.
ColdToes90
I had to bomb the ship out of Babylon in an effort to kill their production and gold. Barely won.
ColdToes90
Bomb the shit * funding autocorrect

Rheios
Its worth noting that bombing all the external trade from ports is a great way to watch an opposing country fall to debt
delpharseven
Will it just be a new coat of paint? Or is it finally going to make civs act like countries instead of a collection of city states? 1/
delpharseven
Eg. at some point in the tech tree food and production should be pooled. 2/2

The cities stuff sounds a lot like Endless Legend.
Kingsgrave
Not really a bad thing tbh. Endless Legend expanded the genre in meaningful ways and Civ 6 is learning from it.
danzigsam
I still play Civ2.
manwhoclaimstobedoctorbutisnt
Civ 2 was an amazing game. Sadly, the AI is a little too bipolar. It annoys me.
danzigsam
The AI is unarguably terrible. Just.... terrible. My only complaint about the game.
szepasszony
I still play Civ I, because I'm too lazy to learn how to play the new ones. But from this they seem pretty much the same.
danzigsam
Civ2 was a nice improvement. Beyond that... its a different game.
szepasszony
Good to know, I'll give it a try when I finish my latest game.
notme222
That's the last one made by Microprose, right?
danzigsam
Yarp.
JayEnfield
Civ2 remains my jam. I also liked that Civ2 would run any audio CD you had in your drive at the time as the game music.
szepasszony
Link if anyone wants to play the original: http://www.freegameempire.com/games/Civilization#sthash.LUxNgr3D.dpbs
BlackLabsAreBest
Amazing!
DarkZalgo
I really wish they would add the civ2 dinosaur campaign to the new civs.
danzigsam
Do they still have the game editor?
DarkZalgo
I have no idea. I haven't touched civ since 5 was released.
ticktockbent
I also enjoy playing old antequated games with obtuse design features. (not joking, I do this)
afunnyusernameperiod
I like it too. It makes you use more of your imagination
danzigsam
It was a great game, doesn't crash to desktop or take up all your computer's resources. Ever play Master of Orion 2?
ticktockbent
Yep. Great game. Showing its age though, and the endgame bit was always tedious. Still fun.
danzigsam
Master of Magic?
ticktockbent
Same. Love it, amazing game. Nobody has yet recaptured the spirit or feel of the game. Interface drives me nuts, game is amazing
killswitch247
alpha centauri all the way
Acylic
This guy. He just GETS IT
ArgusSwift
Damn rights.
vildgut
Yeeeeeesh
UpsetFace
I own alpha centauri but I haven't a clue how to play it
Acylic
It came with a book. It took a week to read, but totally worth it
vildgut
Trial and error is also a good way to learn :)!
Kuebiko
Actually still prefer civ 3, not sure what they mean by awful interface. Only issue with civ 3 was tech speed was way too fast till file mod
danzigsam
Did you ever play Civ2? The UI was great. Compared to Civ2, the Civ 3 interface is kinda blah.
Kuebiko
I think i did play civ 2 a few times, but not enough to get a hang of the game. 3 and alpha centauri were the 2 i played heavily
FredTwo
I find Civ3 has a lot more micromanagement than Civ5, and rewards many-city civs to the point of neccessity (but I still prefer Civ3, too).
CatSnakePlissken
City count is why I prefer 2 and 3. I hate the new focus on fewer, bigger cities. I like a sprawling empire, dozens ofs cities.
FredTwo
Yeah, that's why I prefer it too, mostly. Civ5 is a nice souffle of strategy, but Civ3 is a full-blown medieval hog-roast
thatguywhoisnttoowitty
Very true, but the corruption was annoying and made colonial empires difficult. But civ 3 is still my personal favorite.
Tsunamix
No Civ 4 love? I still play it (Beyond the Sword or Rise of Mankind).
danzigsam
Civ 4 is okay; I've got it and I've played it, but it didn't really hold me.
BlackLabsAreBest
My favourite game of all time. Civ 5 just didn't quite do it for me.
makamaka1
Imo i liked civ 4 more over 5. So much more depth. Plus that intro music is so cool
countseven
...that last image.
SilverNicktail
Barbarian hordes at the edges of Equestria? Must be changelings. Then again, frozen northern wastes, maybe it's Sombra's fault.

The wall from Game of Thrones?
WilliamKeith
Is that map titled Equestria V2?
greymaria
It is, but we're going to need someone willing to research that. Because... I'm not seeing the connection between ponies and CivV barbarians

Well, there were at least a couple pony civ mods

YourWaifuIsTrash
TL;DR neutral enemies that have successfully created a fucking army, instead of the small clans you fight every now and then.
TheColourBlindElectrician
I think those are all barbarians.
SassyAssSlap
As someone who has never played, could you explain it for me? All I see are a bunch of red icons and cow heads. :C
YourWaifuIsTrash
Barbarians are AI-controlled foes who don't form cities and instead just attack from settlements. They're frustrating, because they can >
YourWaifuIsTrash
quickly produce more barbarians, and any unit can create a new settlement. If you don't keep them under control they'll end up claiming >
YourWaifuIsTrash
an area and becoming more dangerous than any real empire, especially since they automatically follow others' scientific progress.
Kingsgrave
They are barbarians. Not a major leader or a city state unit, just random evil dudes.
fealtytowels
Each one of those is a unit to be used in war against other civilizations. It's scary because you normally see 10 at the very fucking most.
balencedrago
Their like insects, people have a tendancy to see one and ignore it, then oh boy give it time they will multiply.
Hembrent
Best part is finding a barbarian tank, or similar.
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
Those are barbarians. They're enemies to all and, left unchecked (like that), they can be very dangerous.
SummersSR2
The cows or the shirtless men?
sanjisama
Yes
ippikiwoof
Black/red icons are barbarians of different classes (archers, etc) the other icons refer to the resources on the specific tile.
Lyrian
Hopefully we'll get more techs, and an actually useful diplomacy game.

Ravenwing14
Oh yes [leader], we shall attack our mutual enemy; we christen our alliance in blood! [5 turns later]. DENOUNCEMENT for conquering cities!
Rheios
I thought it was conquering capitals that caused the real problems, more than cities. But still a dumb rule. 'Warmongering' should be(1)
Rheios
starting wars as the aggressor, particularly if you do it often, as opposed to just being successful at it.(2)
Andalite
Oh, if I attack someone who's being a dick, I'm a warmogerer. But by all means, make friends with the guy who fucking backstabbed two others
Aerolfoz
You conquered a civ? You are an evil warmongerer and need to die. I'll go team up with the 2 others who wiped their continents now.
Durtschi
I'm reading through the description and I have to admit I'm worried. I played Masters of Orion 1 and 2 and tried to play 3. The "upgrades" 1
Durtschi
Made it so complex that if I did anything other than what the AI recommended I hurt my empire. It was like being played by the game vs. 2
Durtschi
Other way around. I see some potential in the new game, and, I'm still worried in how that potential will play out. link to article

sarcasticguy
i was looking at master of orion does it actually play that poorly?
Demenster
Lest we speak of the awful favor system in beyond earth
WitcherSchoolDropout
The system which doesn't work at all you mean? Negotiations in that game are pretty much pointless. I still love it though.
Demenster
Fun techs and world but no point in politics. I rarely deal with the ai because theyre so unsocialable and never approach me
Clitastrophe
And Ai's that aren't retarded. The "Warmongering" stuff was bullshit. Trying to trade was bullshit. Lots of bullshit.
mezchano
As long as nuclear ghandi is in there...
JackSplater
The AI treated you like an enemy 100% of the time regardless of relationship. The game needed an allegiance system.
Lyrian
Yeah, that was really frustrating. I liked how in Galatic Civ 3 it was more useful...but maybe TOO much in the player's favor.
Aerolfoz
And of course 100 turn promises about not attacking for having units guarding YOUR borders. Ignore it cuz you got XCOMs 70 turns later?
Aerolfoz
Warmongering and penalty from promise makes EVERYONE hate you. Luckily, I have XCOMs at that point so...
mccar7hy
Making the game "harder" in Civ 5 is just giving the stupid AI more and more unfair advantages.
Molkifier
Deity was basically like a 100 meter dash, and all the AI start 25M ahead.
