      @m_6866 3 года назад +115

      @@Khaim.m The problem is not even reliberating the city as that destroys pops and units, the problem is that the city auto-builds districts when it is liberated. Im sure there was a person on the dev team that thought that was a good idea and it was added without thinking of the exploit loops. Take the district building out and the exploit disappears as there is no point to liberating and capturing. To diminish the impact of neolithic pop spamming, the culture/research huts could respawn with diminishing returns and with limited respawns as on harder difficulty or more populated maps, it can be hard to find untouched areas and a player could get stuck in that era if they did not respawn at all.
      Could also be solved by making the reward diminish per player, so if a player already has a star in neolithic, the huts do jack shit or only a little per hut.

    Play with more land mass to get lots of mammoths, and you can get that many tribesmen in the same number of turns even on the longest game speed (40 food per monke) while getting >1000 influence. Use that influence to get wonders and the free fully built cities to build them. Claim your second wonder before the AI claims its first.

    I have actually been wondering how valuable it would be to just stay in ancient to build pop that way cause you can build it really fast, especially the more you have. Then you can conquer with them or just disband them to get insane population in cities. Apparently it actually is pretty dang effective so long as you aren't too picky on which first civ you get

      @DavidSmith-mt7tb 3 года назад +2

      @@lordcarve yeah, I've really only played a few games. But after my first one I'd figured out how to go through ancient in like 5 turns. Then I found a city and it takes a while to grow pop but you find a couple mammoth and are like I if I didn't advance that'd be 2 pop right there. Take a turn or two. You lose out on some production from city for those turns you wait, but high pop means more production, and until you get techs to enhance production, your city doesn't make that much on its own. And the tribal unit is respectable for a decent while. Also I guess you'll blow through the first era anyway.

    Though a vastly different game, this reminds me of Age of Evolution. Can't think of the genre, but a 2D arena for fighting. You buy units and fort upgrades and have them autofight the AI's units and upgrades, trying to get to their fort to crush it. Over time, you earn evolution points that let you go to the next age, with new units and fort upgrades. Caveman to medieval to... renaissance? Then to modern, and finally futuristic. All with a pattern to what's available. A basic unit, a range unit, a mounted unit, a basic turret, a stronger turret, and an ultimate. But while you'd think cavemen with clubs, slingshots, or riding stegosaurus while eggs are rapid fired from a chicken strapped to their cave would lose pretty quickly... They don't. You can stay as cavemen almost right up to the end, and they will stop everything. Even as the AI gets horses, muskets, swords, and eventually grenades and AK-47s, with the enemy fort upgrading to dump oil on you or with a full auto machine gun turret, the cavemen not only survive, they manage to deal a little to the enemy fort. They only become unmatched against the sci-fi era, and even then, while they can't win, they can survive a really long time. So you can have a caveman on a stegosaurus fighting an alien looking mech warrior while a chicken turret supports it with hundreds of eggs

    I do enjoy the fact that the caveman strat is more of a strat than an exploit. It's the difference between a longer time investment to get more out of it later, or a shorter time investment to get to the rewards quicker since you're a bit more vunerable as the early era. So it doesn't break the game. But then the city invasion is just broken.

    2:53 The pathfinding doesn't actually know if a curiosity has spawned or not so it will waste moves. Particularly as your empire's vision expands. It does know where the spawners are though, and will only prioritize the closest one if it is outside of your empires vision. It is why units go mental when they can't auto-find a spawn to go "check." E.G: They can't embark yet but curiosities also don't spawn due to vision. So auto-explore just bounces between 2 tiles.
    It is best to start with auto-explore on and slowly shift over to manual control. Also, take note of the spawns because they're static.
