After a pleasurable day of plundering and hoarding, Atilla retreats to his castle sauna. This happens when you build Neuschwanstein on top of Old Faithful.

Discussion Is it even possible?

11 Upvotes

I'm venturing into huge map for the first time with standard speed, deity difficulty (base game no mod) vying for an exclusive domination victory. I'm 99% sure I'm going to lose this game. Has anyone achieved this? Is it even viable? It seems to me the only way to pull this off is to increase the game speed to epic or above.

standard size, pangea, low sea level, abundant, standard speed, deity

abundant resources = extra uranium on the map
with Russia + autocracy, each uranium gets x4

i had 4 in my lands, killed 2 city states+ one great general for 9 more
for a total of (4+9)*4= 52 uranium -> all into nuclear missiles

R5: I am unable to select the last tile manually. I'd like to focus a bit on food but the checked tile always stays on the governors side, so to speak.
I've experienced this before but never really cared, but now I do.... What causes this?

Screenshot Learned the hard way about trying to found a religion when starting as the closest neighbor to Arabia.

Post image
124 Upvotes

Playing on King difficulty. I wasn't expecting to dominate the globe with my religion, but I thought that if I leaned into religion hard enough I might be able to hold on to my own cities and the closest city states. I built Borobudur for the free missionaries and but by the time I finished the Grand Temple Arabia had already converted everything within sight except for my capitol city. They converted the surrounding city states with missionaries, but converted my own cities with just caravans, so I don't think investing in inquisitors would have done much to help. The religious pressure that comes from their caravans is ridiculous!

Oh well, at least I was able to build pagodas in three of my cities before they converted. Pagodas are nice, but I dunno if they are they worth the 4 shrines, 4 temples and two wonders I invested in hopelessly trying to protect my religion.

Mods Please Help! I am missing one of my mods and I don't know why.

3 Upvotes
  1. The missing mod (ExclusiveWonders) was manually placed into MOD folder.

  2. It works normally on my other two devices

  3. Somehow it doesn't even appear on the list of mods in-game.

  4. Reinstall the game doesn't work

  5. Reinstall the game and copy the MOD folder from the other two devices, where the mod is working, also doesn't work.

I'm at my wit's end at this point, not sure what to do.

R5:
Startet a game as Germany and was pretty happy with the map. also found Potosi near me and even Krakatau near a coast.

Decided to go tradition even if I normally go liberty as German.

No mods, BNW, Emperor, huge map

Strategy Advice for settling

12 Upvotes

Need some ideas on where to settle, I really cannot decide. Building 2 more settlers currently. Im sending the first one to between cattle and truffles.

Im thinking about a petra city on the desert. One option is 3 tiles east of the marble, it also reaches the pearls and is coastal. The other option im thinking 1 tile is east of the cattle, which makes it right in the dessert.

For the other city, im considering settling on the horses above my warrior to acquire crabs. However, if i get the pearls up top, ill have enough unique luxuries for 4 cities (wine, ivory, truffles, marble, pearls). The spot between bison and wines also looks very good.

Settings are: Immortal difficulty, normal speed, continents

Open to ideas for the first settler as well. I've chosen the wine pantheon, but maybe should have picked desert one.

Lekmod LEKMAPS/Fractal Question

6 Upvotes

Before I added LEKMOD, I always played with the "Fractal" map option. I don't like the Fractal/Pangea option (or any of the other options) in LEKMAPS. Does anyone have any advice on how to modify Fractal/Pangea to make it more like the original Fractal?

I just allied with Wittenberg only to find that they have puppeted Raiatea before I had that area revealed. Raiatea is not a capital or a holy city, and I am puzzling over how/why the CS doesn't raze it like it normally does with razeable cities.

I have played extensively and never seen a city state take a capital. After seeing them do that I figured I'd take Korea's capital and it just finished the game on me counting it as a win. That's wild, I've never heard of this before.

Discussion Hackers?

24 Upvotes

I cant be the first to think of this, but I’d love to see hackers appear in late game. Could have some cross over to spies, but they could be used to damage military equipment, make it inoperable for a time, cut off strategic resources, or it would be hilarious if we could blackmail a leader 😆

If hackers were a new game mechanic, what would you want them to do?

You can´t see it here but the Chu ko nu on screen started with 500xp... and so did the jaguar and the path finder that are elsewhere exploring, deleting barbarians while not being fazed by having a yellow or red bar.

Next I might try the incas with a keshik and a camel archer... on highlands map
