What are your favorite Civs? What are the most most OP build and tech orders? Best wonders?I enjoy it so far. Kind of annoying that i cannot seem to trade techs or maps. But not trading tech i can get used to, especially when playig a lot of NPCs. Not map trading is super gay.I don't hate not bring able to stack units. Makes things a bit more interesting.Music is great like 3 and 4.Oh, how in the fuck do i change which tiles my citizens work and look at my citizens/buildings in the city? Am i fucking retarded/blind? I notice there does not seem to be a science slider which i am also ok with. I thought this game had districts for some reason.
Forgot to ask if i should be playing an expansion instead of what i believe is the base game? Best mods?
yeah you seem pretty retarded, so the terrible combat AI should still give you a bit of a challenge.Filthyrobot on youtube did a bunch of very autistically in depth guides for tryharding in multiplayer, but I'd just retardmaxx if I were you since you'll have the most fun that way and the game will still offer some challenge.Oh and you're gonna want to play with both the expansions for sure especially BNW, no reason not to.
>>2390611>favorite civsim American and almost exclusively play the USA. i love spamming minutemen.when you click your town, top right should be a button for citizen management.you should have all the expansions to get all the mechanics. you can decide if you want to play vox populi or not, but i'd recommend it as it improves the AI a lot.
>>2390729Based. From 4 to 7, plus Revolution, I've only ever played as America.
>>2390754Oh wait. 6. I nver played 7, I don't know anyone who did. Forgot it existed.
>>2390611My favorite civs are Germany, Arabia, Korea, Maya and IncaTry any of them as they have cool bonuses
Play 'peacefully' but when declaring war, I Just pillage every tile the civ has and declare peace, no warmongering penalty this way.
my favorite civs in civ 5 are France, Rome, England, Egypt, Japan and Austria. this guy >>2390824also recommended good civs that have great bonuses. Make sure you play with both of the DLC. It's pretty much incomplete otherwise. Civ 5 wasn't really a good entry in the series until Brave New World came out, desu. Gods and Kings didnt add a whole lot
>>2390725Based and true
>>2390611>favorite CivsCiv IV.i never play Panzer Blitz. or hex gamus.
>>2390611Civ 5 is the best imo, then 4.
>>2390611>What are your favorite Civs?Civ 2, SMAC
>>2390871That's why Denmark is one of my favorite civs. Get a couple berzercars and drive around the map pillaging for gold.
>>2390611>Oh, how in the fuck do i change which tiles my citizens work and look at my citizens/buildings in the city? Am i fucking retarded/blind?I think you just double click a tile to lock the pop into it.Haven't played in a while.>I thought this game had districts for some reason.Yeah that's civ6.>What are your favorite Civs?possibly indiaspain makes for some fun explosive games if you have a lucky start.
>>2390611>What are your favorite Civs?those who give extra happiness through their ability, or otherwise favor going wide
OUPT is my preference but the UI for 5 has such terrible scaling in current year and I hate global happiness by endgame every time.
Expansions are a must for Civ V otherwise the game is shallow as a puddle. Poland is OP but honestly pick who you want
>Play Spain>Restart 10 times until I spawn next to 3 wonders>Still barely outpace a naked Babylon because science scaling is such complete ass
>>2390611>What are your favorite Civs?I like Venice even if it's shit on higher difficulties, because it's such a unique way to play the game. Unfortunately only being able to settle and manage one city seriously hampers science, production, culture, pretty much everything making it impossible to catch up on immortal and deity. Another favorite of mine is England, strong but not too strong with some amazing units. Land warfare is a slog but naval warfare in this game is pretty fun once you reach the renaissance and beyond. I'd recommend playing on an ocean-based map if regular continents/pangaea bores you.>What are the most most OP build and tech orders?You're pretty much always going to start with pottery unless you don't care about religion or don't immediately need its successor techs. Also try to get animal husbandry and bronze working quickly because they reveal horse and iron tiles which is important information for settling cities and gives you early game production. After that, get what tech you need to improve your luxury resources for happiness, then get philosophy for the national college because it has good science output. From there it depends, you can either beeline science buildings, focus the bottom of the tech tree for military, or try to get wonders. If you want to build early game wonders, though, you should rush their techs.For build order, you should always start off with 1 or 2 scouts unless you know there's not much land to explore. Then build a shrine if you want a pantheon, build a monument if not going tradition, and maybe a worker. You'll want to build settlers when your cap has 3-4 pop which should be around the same time you've researched animal husbandry + bronze working and are starting luxury resource techs, so you can improve luxuries to offset the unhappiness from founding a new city.>Best wonders?A lot of early game wonders are good, generally anything that gives happiness, growth, or lots of culture.
this thread got me to play civ 5 again, it was one of my most played games but got extremely bored of it.i played a few hours and again got bored really quickly. i was quickly reminded that the game has some serious flaws if you don't play on baby difficulty, mainly how much you are punished for playing wide, how a lot of the civs dont actually feel that much different to play, and just how underpowered some policies trees are compared to others. many buildings also just arent worth building, they either dont pay for themselves in terms of production or just have really minor effects otherwise. it really pigeonholes the player into just a few viable playstyles and repeated playthroughs start to feel really samey. it doesn't help that having a good start makes or breaks your game, if you have a shit start the game is slow and unwinnable, if you have a good start you're just gonna roll over everyone else, the game is only interesting with an average start. and despite the game having a beautiful ui, the map itself just feels really boring to look at. mods can obviously fix all of these issues but i don't really care enough to bother installing any, would rather just play something else
>>2395833Ironically half of your complaints were not a problem in gk expansion.BNW, made by the civ 6 guy was pure shit. For added fun insanity, try getting a copy of civ gk, not the updated bnw. AI will nuke your ass easily while in BNW they almost never nuke.
>>2395849gk and bnw were made by the same lead designer
>>2390611>favourite civsportugal for gpt jewmaxxingindia for pop streetshittermaxxingpoland for culture policy maxxingegypt for wonder whoremaxxingvenice or Iroquois for challenge maxing
This game has some great mods. I guess you shouldn't play mods until you're bored of the expansions, which I am. Still, now and then I boot up this game to play with my wife, Cecilia Immergreen. Here she is nuking my city 1 turn before I finish my bomb shelter. I nuked her first
>>2396508turn off tile yields when you screenshot
>>2390611>What are your favorite Civs?God, there are a lot of fun ones.I'd say the Shoshone and Polynesia are both super fun for how they change the early game. Spain is insanely fun, it's broken as shit if you find a good wonder.I also love the Mayans, they have a hell of a gimmick.There are more that I really like playing, too.>OP build and tech orders?Generally go for writing first, then get the required techs for your luxuries. With build orders, eh, frankly it depends way too much on what type of map or what difficulty you're playing on.>Best wonders?The Great Library is a classic, Petra can be absolutely ridiculous. The religious wonders are very important if you want strong faith gen. I also love Machu Picchu for how it looks visually, also strong in general.>I hate not being able to stack unitsYou'll love it once you get into a big war. It turns warfare into these sprawling front lines and makes playing the defensive super fun and satisfying. It is noticeably easier though in single player>oh, how in the fuckYou click on your city center.>>2390613Get all the DLC. The DLC civs are great fun, and the expansions are both 100% necessary. Vanilla Civ 5 is the worst way to play the game.
>>2390611i guess i'll post this here...https://yairm210.itch.io/uncivanyone else tried Unciv? seems like a Civ 5 clone.i tried the Android version on my phone while looking for ad-free games, but the UI was ass on a small phone screen. text and buttons was either too small or too big no matter how i change the settings.somehow the Linux download is larger than the Windows downloads.
>>2398843There's been a few other free civ remakes/clones. Freeciv is another one I can think of.
>>2390611I like England, China, Shoshone, Spain and Venice. The first two as archers are OP and having archers with their two best promotions guaranteed is pure fun; Shoshone for extra land on starting if I'm playing cramped maps; and the last two because they lean in to fun and varied playstyles
>>2398843Cute but the UI is not appealing to me.
>>2398945i know that. i want to ask about Unciv which is based on Civ5. freeCiv is Civ2. it sucks so badly, the original dev said it was boring to play,and thought it was only good for multiplayer. also freeCiv kept the stupid bug that destroys your whole stack if even one unit loses in combat?
>>2399215unciv is free so there's no reason not to just download it and try it out yourself.I don't know why I'm expecting intelligence from a namefag who can't even use a tripcode properly
>>2399716i already tried the android version, lear to read>>2398843 . and go back to readdit somalia
>>2399716wtf are you even copying my tripcode wrong? you're another fucking bot aren't you?
>>2400758>i already tried the android versionStrategy games have fallen.
>>2390611I enjoy oilmaxxing as arabia
>>2399215>>2399716>>2400758nONE OF YOU ARE ME. sIT DOWN. bE HUMBLE.
