- Try to win Civilization 1 by sending up a spaceship on the hardest level.
First I focus only to build cities, meaning building settlers and trying to take over as much territory as possible.

Also, since you can see the land on the left… I would’ve built the last city on the non-shield grassland despite (or turned it later into plains (you can still do that if the city can survive all the ”bad” turns (forest and non-irrigated plains until finally irrigated plains)) so I can easily have a boat available for fast transport between the islands, which is useful under democracy, no crazies being unhappy cos you have enough time to transport and get back to the city before the end of the turn.
I have seen perhaps every video of civ 1 letsplay but these are the best. I play this game since 2011 (then I was 12) because I'm interested in old games. This game is one of my favorites.
Thanks Mikhail for your comment, the old games have bad graphics but they have some stuff the new games doesn't have, they have a goal and a lot of thoughts and heart in it :) Civilization I is a favorite for me too.
Would love to hear how a game you play usually looks like?
@@IntuneVitaDoctrina I always play as emperor with 7 civs not on the Earth. In the beginning I try to build as many cities as possible (even if they have many overlapping tiles) to produce more warriors. Sometimes I use cavalry instead of chariots because you can produce them twice quickly to explore and capture cities.
After capturing some cities or building 10 ones I build caravans, marketplaces and banks before libraries and universities and then switch to republic and increase luxuries to 30-50%. And then you don't need to build cathedrals and colosseums and even J. B. Cathedral to keep people content. Instead it's better to build more necessary things like granaries and settlers to process the tiles.
Sometimes I switch to democracy and use diplomats to buy cities which give me more tax money.
Thank you for the videos!
thanks for sharing, yeah I realize I missed I should have built Marketplaces earlier and I also missed to send Caravans to do trade with the bigger cities.
nice tactic! now I got the urge to play Civilization again LOL :)
@@IntuneVitaDoctrina Also I forgot to say that the tiles with production shield are like:
# # & & # #
# & & # # &
& & # # & &
& # # & & #
where & are ones with shields so you can find out which river tile has a shield.
@@IntuneVitaDoctrina Glad to see your future videos! I like them.
There’s kinda zig zag pattern (from left to right going up, two tiles and the next row one tile to the right, two again, kinda like stairs from side) for the grasslands with shields but since usually some tiles are something else (f.e. forest, river, hills etc.), often it’s not easy to guess the hidden shields in swamp/river. There’s also a pattern for the special tiles and by turning grassland on such tile to forest, you’re gonna get a game one (which you can turn to the horse one (I usually prefer the horse since game tile doesn’t give any trade)).
But it’s not like every grassland tile fitting the special tile pattern always turns into the special tile. I started to cheat on this, opening the map in an editor and testing the possible special tiles to know which ones are worth the work. Then I cheat also with swamps to know which ones are the shields. I don’t turn them in the editor (and save it as such), I just wanna know which ones and then work on them, does it count as half-cheating? 😄
hahaha thanks to someone in a comment who explained to me how to find the good grass land and river and now I know it also, they are in pair of two and goes diagonal. I don't understand how I have never figured that out myself, I thought it was something in the river image before etc... :)
And on the small island I’d be tempted to found a city in the jungle spot, two fish, gold and game, all for one city. But it’s a spot requiring a lot of improvement for proper growth.
And on the big land to the left I would’ve put the city two tiles to the left and one up, still would have the horse and maybe less hills (not that far along in the video to see what’s on the left).
Why do you refuse to go for Bronze working, so you can have phalangs and way safer basic defense for your cities instead of militia?
Okay, I’ll try to shut up and let you play. 🤣
Hahaha yeah don't remember the exact place of city. Bronze working is good, but I guess also hoped to get that from someone else. Phalanx are good, 2 in defence, fortified you get another 50 extra...and if veteran and on a montain they are really strong!
I loved your previous Civ playthrough and I am looking forward to watching this one! You have a great taste in games.
Thanks a lot, this one is longer, unfortunately I missed that it recording a huge cursor in the middle of the screen... a bit too late when recorded many hours :) hope you can ignore that part.
Have you ever played the old game Warlords I? I got a play through video for that game also.
@@IntuneVitaDoctrina No issue for me with the cursor. Yes, I played both Warlords 1 and 2 back then. I started watching your first Warlords video earlier today when I discovered your new Civ series. A lot of good stuff for me to watch in the coming days :) I hope you will play Warlords 2 at some point as well. That was probably my fav of the two.
Agree Warlords II was a lot better, mostly because you didn't had to play the same map over and over and you could have fog of war and create your own armies in cities if you upgraded, more customizable.
Didn't plan a video of it, but now I'm sort of out of game ideas so it is back as an idea :) have to fresh myself up as I haven't played it for like 25 years now :)
@@IntuneVitaDoctrina A Warlords II playthrough would be great. I don't know if you're into these but here are some other ideas for games from back then that are sort of in the same genre: The Settlers, Battle Isle, Historyline: 1914-1918, Colonization. I'm looking forward to watching whatever you end up playing next :)
I know about Settlers and supposed to be very good, never played it... Colonization I played a pretty great deal, not sure I was so good at it, remembering saving the game at the end fight and if too many canons fails I reloaded, maybe need to play it a bit more to master it before to record it LOL :) good ideas, thanks!
As far as I know, Barbarians don't spawn in "the dark", on the contrary, they do in discovered areas. But... they are kind of a mystery for me. Nice play, thanks.
Thanks, you are right, I got a feeling they often come from dark areas or like not discovered huts, but more a feeling than fact. I know that no huts can contain Barbarians before you founded your first city :)
So, I watched the first episode of your long run. If you don't figured it out by yourself already, I found the answere to your question, how to determine, if a river gives a shield or not. There is a pattern in the grassland. You will find always 2 tiles of grassland with rings, that give a shield, next to each other. The row above it is shifted one tile to the right and so on. They build a diagonal from the bottom left to the top right. Just imagine the river as a cover above these pattern and you know where to find the tile with the shield. Can you in return tell me, how you hide everything except the terrain?
I myself tried another run with kind and... lost. After defeating the first civilisation with only 2 cities I had an island for my own. I hurried to get the united nations and switch to republic for a better economy. So far so good, but I guess the AI watched your gameplays and tried to starve my cities with there units. There were a little ahead in technology and I only had 8 cities, so I didn't dare to attack them, which also would have requested me, to change my form of government. So I blocked all my island with diplomats. Unfortunatly I didn't knew that you can fortify them as well... In the end I tried to suffocate the enemy with my diplomats, what did work quiet well. Unfortunatly he still won the space race.
thanks for the river tip, never learn that but I think someone else posted an explanation too so for next play I will know :)
to see terrain I press, 't' on the keyboard and toggle forth and back with that.
Well played, for me it is the most difficult win, I often come in same situation as you also, then I pause, go Despotism or alike, and just go for their capital :) then you cancel their space ship, if it is a coastal city the capital, I build like 8 Battle ships and take it, if in land... I even have been so bad I took it with a nuke or do peace and a lot of diplomats to remove city wall and attack it.
Wow! I have civ 1 installed in my android phone, since im doing home office, it has been more than one year since the last time I played this, but every now and then, if im out there and I have to wait for an apointment or something like that, I Love civ 1 to kill some time.
Its nice to see people still playing this gem
that's cool, would be nice to see a screenshot of Civ1 on a mobile device. Not a big gamer myself but Civ1 gives me good memories when playing and it is a set time, it doesn't go on forever (but yeah it can still take many hours)
@@IntuneVitaDoctrina trying to post a link but it seems that Yt is deleting it. ☹️ Sorry
I think that if you make a search with the words "still playing civ 1" and then you switch to the images, you will find one screenshot I posted 😉
think I found it, civfanatics.com/2021/09/19/30-years-of-civilization-play-civ1-on-your-android-phone/ cool!
Nice vid. With explanations.
Could you create sperate list and indicate link description in every video as well?
Good idea Elvis thanks, I got a Playlist is that what you mean? but I add it in each video as a link?

@@IntuneVitaDoctrina yep. Do it. If someone occasionally start watching not from the first video he can easily navigate through playlist
@@ElvisAlilu Smart! I should have known, thanks a lot, doing it now
Wuau, cuánto anhelo de querer jugar nuevamente el juego. Quizás es un comentario algo tarde pero ¿Cómo hicieron para que el civilización 1 funcione el Windows 11. Me encantaría volver a jugarlo.
sí, es muy divertido :) Lo juego en Windows 11, pero a través de un emulador llamado DosBOX, se puede descargar GRATIS y luego puedes instalar Civ1 allí y jugar :)
should have built roads before founding a city.
Interesting, my idea was to quickly get cities to produce and then build roads.
You suggest after building first city to build roads instead of build quickly as possible a second city?
@@IntuneVitaDoctrina roads should be built on worked tiles for trade.
even before building the first city. the additional bulbs in the beginning contribute alot to tech speed.
I would have roaded the spawn tile in 4000bc. then move NE and road there. finally, move West and found the Capital. likewise, before founding the second city on the plains, the settler should have roaded at least one plain tile.
a road network is also a plus, since units arrive at their destinations faster. each saved turn compounds.
I have played Civ1 since 1991 and I didn't know this, I thought you got a road for free when you built a city, testing this next time, thanks!
(edit) now I understand it is not road WHERE you build the city but around to get science quick early...
@@IntuneVitaDoctrina the city tile is always roaded
@@IntuneVitaDoctrinaYes, exactly. You lose a few turns by building roads on a few tiles (obviously just the ones that help increasing trade and are usable under despotism) around a city before founding a new one but it greatly helps with the science rate. You can easily compare it by building a few roads and then switch to some non-road tiles and take a look how many turns it’s gonna take to get one innovation.
9:11 Ok so I hope I'm not so close to the russian. As a ukrainian, I can understand that
Horrible situation, hope peace soon will happen.
In Civ1, yeah Russia, Zulu and even the English are the most difficult for me, because they all often expand quickly and are aggressive
