i used to play civ v a lot but got bored and haven't past couple of years. but i found vox populii recently and now i'm legit failing university studies irl. "ah my assignment isn't due for another month let's just play civ" one more turn later my assignment is due in 2 days and i've done no studying.
+Paladin Luke More than a joke, it's a reference to a mistake made in the original civ games when it came to programming AI aggression. It's a scale of 1-10, and changes depending on the age. When ghandi goes into the modern era, he goes from 1 to 11, out of nowhere becoming the most aggressive nation in the game when nukes are becoming an option.
Can you imagine all the people building the pyramids, dedicating decades of work to this breathtaking feat of construction, and as they're about to place the final stone, some guy walks up and says "Well, The Iroquois just finished the pyramids. We're gonna have to destroy all of this and leave nothing behind."
Shaka: Hey, you wanna help me attack your ally, Harald Bluetooth? Me: Boy, do I ever! *a few turns later* Shaka: What the fuck, why did you attack your ally?
Wouldn't I still get penalized for backstabbing? Also: thousands of years later, and everyone still hates me for it. Well, everyone left because I consumed Denmark, Carthage, and Zululand.

Well said, I took over the Aztecs and Mongolia before becoming culturally influent on the last civilization and winning the game. I am not kidding when I saw it was my death robots vs Mongolians crossbowmen.
I took out England and The Netherlands as Greece before i had Science Victory. THey were just being annoying. Taking my City-States, taking my spots for Cities. Planting Cities on my islands (I was playing on Archipelago)
I played as Morocco and sat on my 100 GPT almost the whole game. Every time someone decided to back stab me and take my trade routes I would declare war and they would give up once they saw how big my army was (because I bought them). After that I just bought out city states.
I never understood why countries went to war with each other before this game. Now...Now I--YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SETTLED THE CITY NEXT TO ME! DON'T TELL ME WHERE TO PUT MY CITIES THAT HAVE BEEN HERE A HUNDRED YEARS BEFORE YOU MET ME!

I tried that. Then a few other civs called me a warmonger for killing Alexander (Even though he was the closest to victory, and I had taken part in 0 wars up to that point) Then another one declared war on me, so I killed that one. They started denouncing me, so I killed them. Soon it was me, and whoever was too scared to fight. Despite it all, I got science victory.
The AI gets such an unfair advantage in this game. I was playing last night on an Earth map with true start locations as America. Even though I didn't pick them to be in the game, the damn Shoshone was in my game. Within about ten turns, I had established three cities. Washington D.C., Guantanamo, and my other city on the west coast that I didn't really care about. To try and establish a city connection, I built a road between washington and the city on the opposite coast. Pocatello gets pissed at me for settling that city about ten tiles from his capital and asks me to stop. I comply. Then after I build the road between said city and washington, he settles another damn city on top of the road. Then he settles outside washington. I ask him to stop. He says "No" So within these ten or so turns, I find out that he not only somehow managed to get a formidable military built up, but he has eleven cities that are already somehow expanding their borders like crazy. The final straw was stealing technology from me. So I nuked him. The end.
Professional Spectre What difficulty were you on? Also, if you had just 1 civ set to random, there's no reason why the Shoshone couldn't be there, also don't forget that their UA means their cities expand much quicker.
You know, I always thought it would've been cool if the leader and their background changed as the ages passed. Like having Teddy Roosevelt look and dress like a Sumerian during the first age, a colonial during the exploration age, and a modern politician in the modern age. Sure, it'd be ridiculous, but cool nonetheless.
When I'm about to crush someone they'll usually offer me quite a bit of resources or even cities to reach peace. I usually decline as they almost always denounce the very next turn and then declare war as soon as they can.
I loved how one game, me and my first friend empire ,Siam, teamed up for so long, we almost took half of Alexander's cities. But when Alexander declares war on me a second time, Siam joins him... What the actual fuck? (Then later after that, Siam declares war on Alexander...)
My first game i played as Alexander and me and Siam were friends now the only people on the planet are workers me and Siam the rest are machines the only reason i am going to kill him last is he helped me
Siam is fucking evil and I hate them but when their the biggest and strongest civ in the game plus your neighbor and the rest of the world hates you because you chose freedom, sometimes the only thing you can do is sit back and watch them over run your cities with priest, as you lose your religion
+Octavia Melody indeed you make one evil thing let it be small or big they will never forget it i broke one promise and got hated by most of the civs all the way from classical era to the atomic era just because of that promise
+itsaPaolo Strange, I played so many times and I can't even remember wining the game trought world domination. Usualy I go for culture diplomacy or science, depending witch one its easier to go. I rarely declare wars(when other nations compete on some victories types) they take to much time.
In my latest game I played as Korea and had only a tiny army. I survived by making everyone and everything love me. In that game everyone declared war on Japan and ofc called me in. In the end I got a city from Japan without even helping in the war. Now that's how to expand without being a warmonger xD
My friend wanted to play for cultural victory. Game started about 1600 and ended 6 in the morning. I cheesed a win with Venice. just before voting for world leader i bought up all the city states. That amazing yelp sound he made when i bought up all city states one after one made it all worth it. For some odd reason the ai went crazy at this moment and declared all out war against me....
Tried that, but everyone declares war on me because they take advantage of my non existing army, so I built up an army, win fare and square, and now everyone hates me for taking my enemy's capital city and just a fraction (85%) of his empire... I just wanted peace!... I can thank the nukes for that
Sidar Erdem I have only won 1 game where i did not conquer everyone. I am usually forced to conquer my continent if i am even or ahead to stand a chance of winning.
@WinnyJ1 i would agree this is kind of true at deity :) Even though u can just kill a few on deity and then go for science or diplomatic (too easy) win. :) I think i am the opposite of you, i might have won only one game with domination victory :D (yes, all deity wins included). :)
Kent Nordlund Well i find the ai a bit bullshit on diety with all them bonus points. I personally are not that good at early aggression. Gotta build those wonders Steam rolling late game is fun, but my early game is horrible compared to other players.
Once, I was just playing peacefully with my two friends. My friend in the lead finally figured how to counter cultural victory without bruce force (seriously, it's surprising how few people know about cultural victory details) and I was just too bored to try and win differently. I jokingly said "Well, now I can just give you all my stuff so you can end this game more quickly and defeat our other friend, since I just can't win now". He said that's a good idea. So I send him a deal which was about transfering everything that can be transfered... Little catch though, the deal was him transfering it to me. He did not read it properly (remember kids, always read the small text!) and gave me all of his empire. The rage was so real... After that we didn't spoke for a week. So worth it. Ah, the good all times...
Kyle Netherwood I somehow defeated him 1 turn before he made a nuke. He:You defeated a people who want peace. Peace? YOU DECLARED WAR ON ME, BANNED EVERY LUXURY SO OUR PEOPLE ARE SAD AND DESTROYED 2 NATIONS!
This game is an accurate reflection of the untold truth about that vile man. Don't trust the history books, they're written by the atomic-powered Indian victors.
One of my greatest experiences in Civ V: Me: "Everyone hates China, so I'll denounce them to get some heat off my warmonger penalties" Gets denounced and declared war by at least 5 different civs, all of them enemies of china
I tried diplomacy victory and actually made friends with everyone except for Greece who i denounced because they were attacking other nations. Then i allied myself with other nation in war (which i didn't declare anyway) and destroyed it and liberate many cities. That for some reason made me a warmonger and everyone started to hated me so i lost World leader elections. That lead me to build nuclear weapons and i bombed entire fucking planet. They wanted warmonger ? They recived one.
That ghandi flash... xD But the reason he becomes so aggressive is because of a coding fault. (initially) Ghandi was the most peaceful leader among all, and was at his lowest automatically, being aggression level 0. But basically when you enter the modern era, everyone gets a little bit less aggressive. Ghandi being at 0 already became even less aggressive. Negative aggressive. ... So when he got to -1, he automatically leveled up to the highest aggression level (it's how programming works, don't ask why. It just does). The developers thought it was so funny that they actually left it in the game. And so came to be, ghandi, the pacifist nuclear warmonger. ^^
+Drackon "So when he got to -1, he automatically leveled up to the highest aggression level (it's how programming works, don't ask why. It just does)." This is not how programming works. This isn't even close to how programming works.
+Quinn Bernkastel That was actually what happened. In Civ I or II (I don't remember), Gandhi had the lowest aggression-level of 1 (up to 255 I think). When the AI chose Democracy (or Freedom?) as ideology, they would lose two aggression-points though, which put him at 255 instead and made him super-aggressive. Later on it's basically just become a joke to make Gandhi the most likely to fire Nukes.
TheXxxisback YES! By the time the Industrial Era rolls around, I find myself 1 civ away from a culture victory. I just wanted a ton of policies! What, you DON'T want me to build all of these wonders??
I'm a game I'm playing as Japan, I started out peaceful and everyone loved me (except England, because the city states liked me more) then Napoleon declared war on me. I responded with force and within a few turns took one of his cities. He tried asking for peace but had nothing worth it to me. So I proceeded to consume his entire civilization into a serious anime addiction and still maintained one of the happiest civilizations in the game (after a bit of rebuilding anyway). Well everyone began accusing me of being blood thirsty and war mongerer. So that's exactly what I became. So currently I have the English surrounded and down to only London left in their civilization. Japan is super fun to play as, their army is nearly unstoppable with their special ability. Looks like it's time to conquer the world and prove once and for all that ANIME IS THE SUPERIOR ANIMATION STYLE!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

1 Start as Gandi 2 now you can take cities with elephants 3 squeez a city between 3 other superpowers and take them one at a time befriending some and war mongering with others keeping them isolated. 4 take them down one by one 4.5 always start a war with enough troops to take down 2 empires 5 now you have a modern army while the most impressive thing they have by the end is a cannon
I don't remember anymore a civilization game where I don't fight and defeat at least 4 others nations in prince level and kill them one by one after they all attack me. The trick is this - you got to kill them and not die youself 😁.
this is so hilariously accurate. On my first playthrough, I had various countries asking for a declaration of friendship. I accepted. Then Japan (a longstanding ally) asked to join him in on a war, which I did. Other nations then denounced me, INCLUDING JAPAN, then they went to war.. against me.. I held out until peace treaties were offered, and Japan (who had attacked me as well) immediately liked me again and wanted another declaration of friendship. That was a very early lesson of "Fuck the AI, never trust them".
+Mmmmkay126 Happiness wasn't included in the game for realism but rather for balance. With no happiness the games 8 difficulties would be much more extreme (easy would be easier, hard would be harder with no inbetween). The AI would grow to a monstrous amount of cities without any limit whatsoever. On deity you'd likely never catch up. On Prince you would probably win by turn 200.
Workers building great monument: Worker 1: " These pyramids to the gods are going to look so good" Worker 2: " Wait stop working?" Worker 1: " Why?" Worker 2: " I got a feeling that a monument just like this one was built by some unknown civilization halfway across the world" Worker 1: " Oh can't we just build our version of this monument" Worker 2: " Nope there should only be one in the world"
"They sent three units to attack me, so I annexed their entire empire" pretty much describes every single round of Civ 5 and 6 that I've ever played. I still maintain that my actions are justified. Don't be startin' what you can't finish. >:)
Well... this is what online play is like. You dominate, or get dominated. Until then, it's a race to the first nukes. Against AIs, it's relaxingly easy. Get whatever kind of victory you want, the AI is terrible at managing its money and production.
+gilles Maenen fucking huns wanted me to help them in fight i helped them and captured our enemies cities And then he denounced me after that he declared war on me WTf ?
***** I've only played 1 multiplayer game, where a friend and I ripped the AI to pieces, this game is far too long for me to trust a randomer on the internet to finish a game.
Multiplayer is definitely worth it if you have a reliable friend who likes strategy games. Anyway, I just watched all of this guy's videos in this playlist and really liked them. He didn't even say "like, comment, and subscribe" but I did it anyway.
+Petrico94 I've played quite a few multiplayer games with friends. Finishing the games is quite hard and there was 1 game where I was 1 turn away from winning on time, and then they all voted for someone else as World Leader... In short, it's hard to get everyone ready to play at the same time, and play with people who are actually trying to win THEMSELVES rather than stop you from winning.
Try playing a single multiplayer game of Heroes Of Might And Magic 3. If you thought world championship in chess took ages then you're in for a surprise

Though it was funny, its not at all how the actual game works. Only if you have no clue why things happen the way they do in this game then yes this movie is accurate, but the fault is yours and not the game. Played hundreds of hours, done every single difficulty and every single win possible ten times over ... and never lost a match, heck, never lost a city (not counting fresh captured cities that get recaptured next turn). To give one example why, your warmongering IS warmongering, you did not bother to build relations first you just went out to annihilate, so yes you are a warmonger. If you just started with the game agreed this will look confusing, but its easy to avoid ... you need good relations with others, make them hate the one you want to destroy and they will stay your best friends. Enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that, to make it more simple, 3 green goes over 1 red and 3 green is EASY to get.
+Ilya Kuryakin Even if every civ hates the one civ you are destroying you still get massive warmonger penalties which inevitably leads to one of your friendly civs suddenly denouncing you out of nowhere, which then leads to every other civ in the game chain denouncing you because they liked that one civ that denounced you even more then you somehow.
LordRobaZe No its not, like i said if you get a chain denouncing, its your own fault. I know lol. Yes eventually you will get denounced, but if domination is your goal you can easily wipe out half the map and have friends when theres only 2 or 3 left. But maybe i just play domination wrong, i play this game to build, not go berserk on everything that moves, so conquering is not on my to do list, which in turn always give me good and easy relations with the rest. /shrug i do know for a fact because ive been there, conquered entire world and the last civ remaining was friendly until it was last one left (out of 8)
LordRobaZe you just have to be smart, not capping cities when he has several left, you just bash his army and wait for him to ask for peace. You dont ask resources, you ask cities which eventually he/she WILL give, no penalty. Meanwhile build good relations with the rest, war over, they denounce you, everyone you made friends with while at war with that one will denounce him for denouncing a friend, in short carte blanch to destroy him. Its as easy as that.
Ilya Kuryakin But what happens when you have someone like Attilla or The Ottomans next to you and it is his capital which cant be traded? He constantly attacks you and when you play on high difficulties his army is no pushover to beat.

Like having Teddy Roosevelt look and dress like a Sumerian during the first age, a colonial during the exploration age, and a modern politician in the modern age.
Sure, it'd be ridiculous, but cool nonetheless.
They do that back in Civ 3. The advisors change over the ages too.
instead they remove animated backgrounds..
What if they do that and then it comes to Germany in modern age? Bismarck in an SS Uniform? I don't think so! xD
why would he be in the SS? he would be in the SA if he was in the NSDAP
The advisors in civ 2 change dress over the ages, which I thought was a good touch. They had actual actors provide videos, unlike future civ games.
You want to trade for some incense? Then, give me everything you have. :D
THIS!!!!
When I'm about to crush someone they'll usually offer me quite a bit of resources or even cities to reach peace. I usually decline as they almost always denounce the very next turn and then declare war as soon as they can.
I loved how one game, me and my first friend empire ,Siam, teamed up for so long, we almost took half of Alexander's cities.
But when Alexander declares war on me a second time, Siam joins him...
What the actual fuck?
(Then later after that, Siam declares war on Alexander...)
My first game i played as Alexander and me and Siam were friends now the only people on the planet are workers me and Siam the rest are machines the only reason i am going to kill him last is he helped me
i saved brazil from alexander, and he denounced me, i had a city neighboring his only thing left, the capital, what a short war that was
Siam is fucking evil and I hate them but when their the biggest and strongest civ in the game plus your neighbor and the rest of the world hates you because you chose freedom, sometimes the only thing you can do is sit back and watch them over run your cities with priest, as you lose your religion
You just described this game so perfectly :
+Octavia Melody indeed you make one evil thing let it be small or big they will never forget it
i broke one promise and got hated by most of the civs all the way from classical era to the atomic era just because of that promise
+itsaPaolo Strange, I played so many times and I can't even remember wining the game trought world domination. Usualy I go for culture diplomacy or science, depending witch one its easier to go. I rarely declare wars(when other nations compete on some victories types) they take to much time.
In my latest game I played as Korea and had only a tiny army. I survived by making everyone and everything love me. In that game everyone declared war on Japan and ofc called me in. In the end I got a city from Japan without even helping in the war. Now that's how to expand without being a warmonger xD
I always laugh when Genghis Khan gets mad at you for being a war mongerer.
Just like real world ;)
My friend wanted to play for cultural victory. Game started about 1600 and ended 6 in the morning.
I cheesed a win with Venice.
just before voting for world leader i bought up all the city states.
That amazing yelp sound he made when i bought up all city states one after one made it all worth it.
For some odd reason the ai went crazy at this moment and declared all out war against me....
Tried that, but everyone declares war on me because they take advantage of my non existing army, so I built up an army, win fare and square, and now everyone hates me for taking my enemy's capital city and just a fraction (85%) of his empire... I just wanted peace!... I can thank the nukes for that
Sidar Erdem I have only won 1 game where i did not conquer everyone.
I am usually forced to conquer my continent if i am even or ahead to stand a chance of winning.
@WinnyJ1 i would agree this is kind of true at deity :) Even though u can just kill a few on deity and then go for science or diplomatic (too easy) win. :) I think i am the opposite of you, i might have won only one game with domination victory :D (yes, all deity wins included). :)
Kent Nordlund Well i find the ai a bit bullshit on diety with all them bonus points.
I personally are not that good at early aggression.
Gotta build those wonders
Steam rolling late game is fun, but my early game is horrible compared to other players.
Once, I was just playing peacefully with my two friends. My friend in the lead finally figured how to counter cultural victory without bruce force (seriously, it's surprising how few people know about cultural victory details) and I was just too bored to try and win differently. I jokingly said "Well, now I can just give you all my stuff so you can end this game more quickly and defeat our other friend, since I just can't win now".
He said that's a good idea. So I send him a deal which was about transfering everything that can be transfered... Little catch though, the deal was him transfering it to me. He did not read it properly (remember kids, always read the small text!) and gave me all of his empire. The rage was so real... After that we didn't spoke for a week. So worth it.
Ah, the good all times...

"UNTIL THEY'RE FIGHTING WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS" (Displays Gandhi)
Ghandi is a warlord in this game
Ghandi: Peace
After he discovered nukes:
I WILL KILL EVERYONE
Here, ghandi finally understands that there will only be peace when there are no more humans
Kyle Netherwood I somehow defeated him 1 turn before he made a nuke.
He:You defeated a people who want peace. Peace? YOU DECLARED WAR ON ME, BANNED EVERY LUXURY SO OUR PEOPLE ARE SAD AND DESTROYED 2 NATIONS!
This game is an accurate reflection of the untold truth about that vile man. Don't trust the history books, they're written by the atomic-powered Indian victors.

One of my greatest experiences in Civ V:
Me: "Everyone hates China, so I'll denounce them to get some heat off my warmonger penalties"
Gets denounced and declared war by at least 5 different civs, all of them enemies of china

now we only need shitler in the game now
There are Mods!

Probably one of the most common things many noneuropean civilizations heard and later regretted agreeing to.

civ is best when played with friends.. actually you probably shouldn't some of the matches ive played with friends got heated
well it is treu civ is awsome with friends sucked i never got to end a game with them :(
The mario kart equivalent of a strategy game lol
Haha he's just like me, I can't win unless I'm dominating the whole world.
I tried diplomacy victory and actually made friends with everyone except for Greece who i denounced because they were attacking other nations. Then i allied myself with other nation in war (which i didn't declare anyway) and destroyed it and liberate many cities. That for some reason made me a warmonger and everyone started to hated me so i lost World leader elections. That lead me to build nuclear weapons and i bombed entire fucking planet. They wanted warmonger ? They recived one.
I did a diplomacy victory once, despite only being in 2 wars that lasted like 5 turns each every one denounced me and called me a warmonger
I swear this game just trolls you.
That ghandi flash... xD
But the reason he becomes so aggressive is because of a coding fault. (initially)
Ghandi was the most peaceful leader among all, and was at his lowest automatically, being aggression level 0.
But basically when you enter the modern era, everyone gets a little bit less aggressive.
Ghandi being at 0 already became even less aggressive.
Negative aggressive.
...
So when he got to -1, he automatically leveled up to the highest aggression level (it's how programming works, don't ask why. It just does).
The developers thought it was so funny that they actually left it in the game.
And so came to be, ghandi, the pacifist nuclear warmonger. ^^
Inaccurate
+Drackon "So when he got to -1, he automatically leveled up to the highest aggression level (it's how programming works, don't ask why. It just does)." This is not how programming works. This isn't even close to how programming works.
+Quinn Bernkastel That was actually what happened.
In Civ I or II (I don't remember), Gandhi had the lowest aggression-level of 1 (up to 255 I think). When the AI chose Democracy (or Freedom?) as ideology, they would lose two aggression-points though, which put him at 255 instead and made him super-aggressive. Later on it's basically just become a joke to make Gandhi the most likely to fire Nukes.
The Ghandi thing, been initially a bug, is a trade mark of Civ's games, as Sid Meyer names stamped on it
the way the programing works is there's 1-255 decimals of accessable memory, and it loops when you go past those 2 points.
"In politics, stupidity is not a handicap" Napoleon Bonaparte
Me playing civilization 5:"Seems legit."
Am I the only one who always gets a culture vic by accident?
Me too :D If i didn't lose temper and kill everyone :D. Good thing you can turn off victories you don't want.
TheXxxisback YES! By the time the Industrial Era rolls around, I find myself 1 civ away from a culture victory. I just wanted a ton of policies! What, you DON'T want me to build all of these wonders??
I'm a game I'm playing as Japan, I started out peaceful and everyone loved me (except England, because the city states liked me more) then Napoleon declared war on me. I responded with force and within a few turns took one of his cities. He tried asking for peace but had nothing worth it to me. So I proceeded to consume his entire civilization into a serious anime addiction and still maintained one of the happiest civilizations in the game (after a bit of rebuilding anyway). Well everyone began accusing me of being blood thirsty and war mongerer. So that's exactly what I became. So currently I have the English surrounded and down to only London left in their civilization. Japan is super fun to play as, their army is nearly unstoppable with their special ability. Looks like it's time to conquer the world and prove once and for all that ANIME IS THE SUPERIOR ANIMATION STYLE!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
as special ability ou refer to.......

It's weird to see so many cities without a single tile improvement anywhere

The best Civ V in a Nutshell possible. You managed to cover everything, really nice!
This is so very accurate. #1500 hours and no regrets
1 Start as Gandi
2 now you can take cities with elephants
3 squeez a city between 3 other superpowers and take them one at a time befriending some and war mongering with others keeping them isolated.
4 take them down one by one
4.5 always start a war with enough troops to take down 2 empires
5 now you have a modern army while the most impressive thing they have by the end is a cannon

I don't remember anymore a civilization game where I don't fight and defeat at least 4 others nations in prince level and kill them one by one after they all attack me.
The trick is this - you got to kill them and not die youself 😁.

Looks at the start of World War and the others before that
I've found the easiest way to win is by buying all the city states and have me elected as world leader.
Kesateria Matahari what if austria, venice, ghengis khan and greece are i. the game with you?
@@johnappleseed4833 just restart :D
Love your voice, that's how Civ done: just one more turn
this is so hilariously accurate.
On my first playthrough, I had various countries asking for a declaration of friendship. I accepted. Then Japan (a longstanding ally) asked to join him in on a war, which I did. Other nations then denounced me, INCLUDING JAPAN, then they went to war.. against me.. I held out until peace treaties were offered, and Japan (who had attacked me as well) immediately liked me again and wanted another declaration of friendship.
That was a very early lesson of "Fuck the AI, never trust them".
GODDAMNIT, Alexander!
i hate the happiness mechanic in this game
I do too it's really annoying
Builds one tank unit in 1942 happiness goes down 92% WTF I had like 100 happiness!
+The Rare Bird Rare Nein
+Bilbo Weer Although some sort of measurement of your empire stability is necessary, I do agree that Civ 5's happiness system was highly unrealistic.
+Mmmmkay126 Happiness wasn't included in the game for realism but rather for balance. With no happiness the games 8 difficulties would be much more extreme (easy would be easier, hard would be harder with no inbetween). The AI would grow to a monstrous amount of cities without any limit whatsoever. On deity you'd likely never catch up. On Prince you would probably win by turn 200.
This is still one of my favorite vids of all time. So accurate.
Funny how accurate this is. Especially the warmonger when they start what they can't finish lol
I suggested this a long time ago... worth the wait!
0:37 Gandhi after nuclear weapons :)))
I am happy I clicked this highly accurate synopsis from related videos.
Rome asks if i can go to war with Greece,i Accept,Rome denounces me 2 turns later...
Workers building great monument:
Worker 1: " These pyramids to the gods are going to look so good"
Worker 2: " Wait stop working?"
Worker 1: " Why?"
Worker 2: " I got a feeling that a monument just like this one was built by some unknown civilization halfway across the world"
Worker 1: " Oh can't we just build our version of this monument"
Worker 2: " Nope there should only be one in the world"
"They sent three units to attack me, so I annexed their entire empire" pretty much describes every single round of Civ 5 and 6 that I've ever played.
I still maintain that my actions are justified. Don't be startin' what you can't finish. >:)

well....yea....that's surprisingly right.....
That pic of Costanza as you mentioned culture got me.
Well... this is what online play is like.
You dominate, or get dominated. Until then, it's a race to the first nukes.
Against AIs, it's relaxingly easy. Get whatever kind of victory you want, the AI is terrible at managing its money and production.
yeah... unless every civ declares war on you for no apparent reason 😃
+gilles Maenen fucking huns wanted me to help them in fight i helped them and captured our enemies cities And then he denounced me after that he declared war on me WTf ?

Really good strategy game but the multiplayer never seems to be worth it
***** I've only played 1 multiplayer game, where a friend and I ripped the AI to pieces, this game is far too long for me to trust a randomer on the internet to finish a game.
Multiplayer is definitely worth it if you have a reliable friend who likes strategy games.
Anyway, I just watched all of this guy's videos in this playlist and really liked them. He didn't even say "like, comment, and subscribe" but I did it anyway.
+Petrico94 I've played quite a few multiplayer games with friends. Finishing the games is quite hard and there was 1 game where I was 1 turn away from winning on time, and then they all voted for someone else as World Leader... In short, it's hard to get everyone ready to play at the same time, and play with people who are actually trying to win THEMSELVES rather than stop you from winning.
Try playing a single multiplayer game of Heroes Of Might And Magic 3. If you thought world championship in chess took ages then you're in for a surprise

Though it was funny, its not at all how the actual game works. Only if you have no clue why things happen the way they do in this game then yes this movie is accurate, but the fault is yours and not the game.
Played hundreds of hours, done every single difficulty and every single win possible ten times over ... and never lost a match, heck, never lost a city (not counting fresh captured cities that get recaptured next turn).
To give one example why, your warmongering IS warmongering, you did not bother to build relations first you just went out to annihilate, so yes you are a warmonger. If you just started with the game agreed this will look confusing, but its easy to avoid ... you need good relations with others, make them hate the one you want to destroy and they will stay your best friends.
Enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that, to make it more simple, 3 green goes over 1 red and 3 green is EASY to get.
*****
well yes, i ment the context in which it was used in the vid, is all wrong.
Of course if you go domination youll be warmonger ...
+Ilya Kuryakin Even if every civ hates the one civ you are destroying you still get massive warmonger penalties which inevitably leads to one of your friendly civs suddenly denouncing you out of nowhere, which then leads to every other civ in the game chain denouncing you because they liked that one civ that denounced you even more then you somehow.
LordRobaZe No its not, like i said if you get a chain denouncing, its your own fault. I know lol. Yes eventually you will get denounced, but if domination is your goal you can easily wipe out half the map and have friends when theres only 2 or 3 left.
But maybe i just play domination wrong, i play this game to build, not go berserk on everything that moves, so conquering is not on my to do list, which in turn always give me good and easy relations with the rest. /shrug i do know for a fact because ive been there, conquered entire world and the last civ remaining was friendly until it was last one left (out of 8)
LordRobaZe you just have to be smart, not capping cities when he has several left, you just bash his army and wait for him to ask for peace. You dont ask resources, you ask cities which eventually he/she WILL give, no penalty. Meanwhile build good relations with the rest, war over, they denounce you, everyone you made friends with while at war with that one will denounce him for denouncing a friend, in short carte blanch to destroy him. Its as easy as that.
Ilya Kuryakin But what happens when you have someone like Attilla or The Ottomans next to you and it is his capital which cant be traded? He constantly attacks you and when you play on high difficulties his army is no pushover to beat.
That Civ IV music at the end brought back good memories.
