Civ V discussion thread

[quote=throatslasher]I had a 'lets play civ V' thread, but I never got around to actually setting up a game, so lets just shoot the shit about Civ V. I've been struggling to beat Emperor, but I finally managed it with Venice (standard/large islands/standard speed) via domination. I heard Venice was OP easy on large islands, and they were right. The AI sucks with naval units and by carefully managing my promotions, I was able to get some logistics frigates and when I upgraded to battleships and indirect fire, it was super GG. Also, 400 GPT and 90 happiness o.0 I had to reroll the map twice because I ended up the first map sandwiched between China and Brazil (I want my own island, dammit) and rerolled into a 0 production island. Another funny thing that happened that caused me to revert to a previous save was I had dominated hiawatha who went MEGA WIDE (12 cities on islands...some on 1 tile islands) and he offered me a trade deal that included 5 cities. Me being a freaking idiot, I accepted and I razed 3 and kept 2 which dropped me to 34 UNHAPPINESS. My army went to shit and rebels started raping my capital...be careful about getting gifted cities, if they don't have happiness building and decent pop (6+) think about staying away.[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu]Searz pls. It's "lf civ pleiers" thread. This is "diskuss abut civ pls" thread.[/quote]

[quote=Phoenix0000ff]I find it funny how the AI offers you cities now, they are usually very badly placed cities. You can always burn them to the ground I guess but yeah, rebels and such. I played gods and kings on deity but when I got to BNW I failed at the prince rank. I guess I was out of practice and complete noob. Anyways I been having a lot of fun relearning the game again. Also the game doesn't drop you every 4 minutes when you play LAN anymore so my friends and I are having a lot of fun with it. I really like Venice. They don't seem as OP as Austria and they nerfed Austria anyway. Real cool.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][quote=Janitsu] Searz pls. It's "lf civ pleiers" thread. This is "diskuss abut civ pls" thread.[/quote] Allow me to quote the title of that thread. "Anyone want to play Civilization 5? / [b][u]general civ 5 thread[/u][/b]"[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu]Maybe it's about the great generals :o?[/quote]

[quote=Phoenix0000ff]That thread is old and seems to be focused on it as a new and coming game. This thread doesn't have the pretense of "it's going to be cool" and more like. We can talk strategy. I mean that old thread doesn't really get my attention to post. Let's discuss this shall we? Can a game that lasts 10 hours be really limited to a hybrid post thread like that. I'll trade you a luxury for 30 turns if you let us discuss.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]anyone else hate luxuries in civ5 now that you know stuff about them? like, besides mercantile city states having a unique luxury (if theres enough mercantile they'll have duplicates) and besides indonesias luxuries, the map will only generate 8 luxuries max. so if theres nine or more civs, there will be some civs that have the same luxury. that can especially fuck up someone like portugal or just in general, trading civs.[/quote]
