Welcome to another Civilization 5 Tutorial Guide, today I'm looking at Arabia, led by Harun al-Rashid in Civilization V! Arabia has a dessert start bias, and boy do they use it to their advantage! With a 2x multiplier on oil, boosted trade range, extra profits and an insane market, the Arabians are an economic powerhouse to be reckoned with on the precipice of over powered exploits in civ! No, just kidding, we all know civ 5 is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits.

Welcome to my official Sid Meier's Civilization V (Civ 5) KZfaq Tutorial Series! Founded in 2016 and revitalized in 2021! Civ 5 is perhaps one of the best 4x strategy games of all time. This series will cover over civ v tips and tricks for beginners as I guide you through how to settle a city, what cultural policies to choose, how to tech up fast, how to take cities, win wars, defend your lands, negotiate peace, take to the seas and much more!
About the game:
Sid Meier's Civilization V is a 4X video game in the Civilization series developed by Firaxis Games. The game was released on Microsoft Windows in September 2010,[3] on OS X on November 23, 2010, and on Linux on June 10, 2014.
In Civilization V, the player leads a civilization from prehistoric times into the future on a procedurally generated map, attempting to achieve one of a number of different victory conditions through research, exploration, diplomacy, expansion, economic development, government and military conquest. The game is based on an entirely new game engine with hexagonal tiles instead of the square tiles of earlier games in the series.[5] Many elements from Civilization IV and its expansion packs have been removed or changed, such as religion and espionage (although these were reintroduced in its subsequent expansions). The combat system has been overhauled, by removing stacking of military units and enabling cities to defend themselves by firing directly on nearby enemies.[6] In addition, the maps contain computer-controlled city-states and non-player characters that are available for trade, diplomacy and conquest. A civilization's borders also expand one tile at a time, favoring more productive tiles,[7] and roads now have a maintenance cost, making them much less common.[8] The game features community, modding, and multiplayer elements.[5] It is available for download on Steam.

Thanks again for Civ5 content. We are a small but passionate fanbase! As far as my favorite Civ, back in the day it was easily Russia, then it was Rome for a while, though nowadays I honestly love every Civ and trying to play each one utilizing their specialties to they're advantage. I'm currently playing a Zulu game and stacking as many military bonuses as possible and it's a freaking blast.

We certainly are!! Thank you for sharing that. I always find it so interesting to hear about other people’s Civ experiences. My favourite was Russia back in the day too! My first victory (I think) was with Catherine. Enjoy that Zulu run!

Thanks for the civ 5 content! I guess its true a good game never dies. I reccomend you check out assyria, its my fav civ. It has some great bonuses, its unique ability can help you get expensive top techs while focusing on military, a great work of writing slot, and probably the best siege unit in the classical era, because of the beautiful +50% attack vs cities to units adjacent (this includes other siege towers). I reccomend you rush mathematics, and pump out like 7 or so seige towers, get writing and then economic techs, and steal other techs off of civs larger than you. Not many play it, but i think its a super fun civ ;)

This is only a portion of the O.P. Harun Strategy. Machu Picchu gets research unlocked at the same turn on average as you complete the policy unlock of liberty, choose a free great engineer from that policy complete. Make sure you have a city within 1-2 tiles from a mountain, because it is in the same tech rush cluster as bazaar & camel archer the Ai won't have built this wonder before you unlock it as a tech even on Deity. On Deity, use the great engineer to grab Machu, as the Ai cheeses a wonder-steal from you almost every time you don't really have a chance at 95% of wonders. On immortal or lower, if one of your first 2 & alpha productive cities has a mountain this is likely to be one of the few wonders you can build/beat the Ai on without needed to be in an already winning position. If you build your cities 5 tiles distance apart you will maximise gold-cost of roads to city connection gold gain but still runs at a slight loss, space wise it that slight loss is worth it to maxing workable resources for city at max development(you often only have 2-4 tiles of overlap shared border), this is a very spread empire that is good for harun play. High movement troops turn a defensive vulnerability of city distance into a defensive strength. Machu provides 25% gold for city connection, at 5 squares road to each city the connection gold provided now out-weights the road cost; making roads to a city now a profit not a loss. This is powerful, if you are doing a domination or part domination game, the city number gets large so the road system does too. At Deity level you have to count every penny, 5-20 passive extra gold per turn from mid-game to late adds up to a whole lot of gold. Pyramids as a wonder with their 25% faster workers, plus liberty's 25% faster makes fort building a ~5-6 turn endeavour unlike a ~8-9. Farms are 3 turns, instead of 5. You can forward settle a city at a choke point, with 3-4 workers at the ready next to it & have forts set up within the 5 turns that it takes for the Ai to deploy its troops at attack. Grinding down the Ai's amassed army on your choke city is a favourite strategy - they fall 5 turns behind on almost every race as they focus on rebuilding units in a panicked and unbalance way if they are still at war; they shift their cities into ultimate production; religion, culture, science & obviously work on any buildings will drop in this time. PLUS if you do actually want that war, this is a better place to start. I usually form a meat-shield with my 4 workers from this choke city fort improve, use them to build a road to the next city & shuffle rotate 6-7 camel archers out of range through the road to first bully circle kill-harvest the cities units until the civ has none left. The AI hungers for workers for some reason, it will abandon even city defence sometimes to capture your meat shield, it takes a turn to capture a worker so they can't move or attack, & they are sitting in your kill zone so you can cycle 6-7 camel archers onto them & recapture the worker in the same turn all without getting in range of Ai or moving out of your bully circle funnel. By doing this you make the Ai fight your war, it send all of its units at you in the exact spot where you have everything set up and it send them in a trickle not a flood. Just eventually capture the city then with your 3-4 workers build a road to the next and repeat the bully circle/kill funnel with your camel archers. Even when they get cannons, your camel archers take 2 turns instead of 5 to make a cannon, have the same damage & can move in and out of range so you don't need to ever loose 1 unit if you play smart with a worker meat shield for any surprise cavalry the Ai sends. Your units get xp from grinding the other empire down in this war of attrition and better yet, even if you make peace, this war is the most efficient way to put a civ behind in turns on every race while you don't lose 1 unit therefor spend the whole war not sacrificing anything to replenish your army.

I have a very tough time keeping my happiness up for Domination victory. I might be around 10 happiness when I conquer a city, then drop and spiral. I usually play on King or Emperor, and can't seem to buff my happiness higher to prevent it. I'll have one unique lux per city and circus & coliseum built. Generally not caught up to the AI until about Eiffel Tower as far as Happiness Wonders go. Feels like I'm doing something very wrong. Any thoughts?

@emmafountain2059 Жыл бұрын

I know this is like a year old, but I like domination victories and was also having problems with this at higher levels. First, the basic tip; it helps to raze most cities, only keep non-capitals if they are really good and you are planning to stop your war and get the extra cities built back up. (Also obviously puppet until resistance is gone, then annex and purchase a courthouse). Even above this, the biggest factor is timing. Going to war is always going to make you unhappy, there’s no way around this (except maybe like late-game autocracy strats). Also remember that any resources going towards war are resources *not* going to infrastructure. Together this means ideally you want wars to be short and late. If you need to expand or rally against a snowballing civ that can be ok, but long periods of war before late game will doom you no matter how well you prepare. On higher difficulties you pretty much have 2 options, the lower difficulty you are the more flexible this is. 1. Spend the first 80-90% of the game sim-citying with little to no army before blitzing with fast units like battleships/destroyers or stealth planes/xcoms. This lets you catch up with and ideally surpass the AI and get your ideology and happiness buildings up which should give a decent buffer, it also lets you not worry about unhappiness as much. It doesn’t matter that you’re at 20 unhappiness if you’re done growing and are going to win in 3 turns. 2. If you have a decent midgame unique unit, you can blitz a nearby civ or two (remember to only keep their cap or any *really* good cities) then hunker down, growing your cities up for an endgame push. Ideally the war should be over before the other civs get access to the next “tier” of units that can outclass yours. They’ll often get this very quickly due to their tech lead, so you will probably only have time to take 1 or 2 cities. This can be risky, if the cap you take isn’t very good or you spend too much time at war the other AI will just outpace you. In some rare cases like Arabia and the Mongols, their midgame units are mobile and strong enough to last a little longer. I’ve kept a Mongol Keshik push going well into the renaissance era. Unfortunately early game strats aren’t really viable at high difficulty just because of how far ahead the AI starts, but there are some civs that can pull it off with good RNG like the Huns, Assyria, and the Zulus. Take out as many nearby civs as you can early, pump resources into the captured cities and go for another push mid (frigates are great) or late game depending on how many civs are left, how far away they are, and how much you’ve eclipsed them.
