I have 1258hrs and themes still confuse me

Good post and ty for the extra info.

Did you really spell it fucking “terns” bro

They freakin' COVER the map!

Oml raiding brazil and having 99999 artists cover the map is so annoying especially since you can't keep them

Dude no joke. Ive become the art dealer of europe in my current gameplay. Works out well tho. My religious monopoly of rasputinism is becoming a vicegrip not just in europe but asia as well and having trajan and catherine begging me for great works definitely made that possible.

OOF

Correction: Each antiquity site you extract prior to the modern era give you an era score point. Once you hit the modern era, you only gain era score if you take the "wish you were here" Dark/normal age dedication. However, Era score points are a definite advantage of archaeology over art.

Never knew you get tourism from the festivals. Will have to remember that in the future. CVs always feel like such a spot at the end of the game.

No, it doesn't. But the great people points you get from the projects can give you the great people and those can convert into great works that add tourism. But if your slots are full the projects won't give you anything you need (tourism).

looks like he fulfilled half your requests with the city states. i’d like to see the governments as well, sometimes i really don’t know what to pick, and i don’t want to switch back and forth and risk anarchy

About the chopping: - First, you have some bonuses that you can use for it. The most important for it is Magnus first ability (you don't need to upgrade him). - You obviously need Mining for chopping forests and Bronze Working for chopping jungles. You need other technologies to "chop" (read, harvest) other resources. - Then you place a policy card associated with what you're producing. The most typical is Limes (100% production towards walls), and then you start producing a wall in that city. When the item is only a few turns away from being produced (ideally, one), you chop the forest (or cattle, or whatever you harvest/chop, as long as it gives you production) and finish the item. The overflow production from the policy card and Magnus ability will accumulate on the next thing you produce in the city, even if it's not a wall for example, and if you produce the next thing in only one more turn, it will also overflow into the next item after. Note that this will be nerfed/removed on the next expansion, Gathering Storm.

@@krustimolu348 thnx man and if there such thing as best method for every type of victory to follow every time I play game from the district and tech civic to policy card and wonder like tree should to follow step after step if you get what I mean

@@YOUCEFPAIN I understand what you mean, but I'm not the best at explaining it. There are very fast ways to win, at turn 150 or before. - For culture, it involves getting as much great writers as you can, so you need lots of Theatre districts to generate the great people points. This way you not only deny tourism to opponents, but also culture to defend against your tourism on early. - For science, I really don't know. I think it's a balance between specializing a lot (for example, beelining a technology for an important bonus, such as Computers) or accumulate small bonuses. I tend to have a well-rounded empire, flexible but not excellent at anything, and I usually don't beeline anything. I'm not sure that's the best strategy. You also have to figure your way to play: to me, it is not interesting to try to win as fast as possible, I like enjoying the game until the late eras and play all the mechanics of the game in a single match. It's really up to you.

@@krustimolu348 thank you man I love to enjoy the game from the start to the end in info era I get back from my work as accounting and play some but the only way I get victory so far is the domination and religious especially in hard difficulty

IMO civ 6 has the better idea about playing civ games with agendas, district planning, loyality ect.. but doesnt have enough features that civ 5 has... plus there are a lot of bugs right now. But i think that gathering storm will fix all those missing ends and finaly make civ 6> civ5

Comes to late to be relevant unfortunately. With the added era and changed cultural and scientific victories, they might not be worthless now.

It is not necessary, as long as you don't fall into a lot of unhappiness. You'll only face some growth and yields penalties. But if your remaining tiles are not of good quality, it may be better to avoid growth to avoid the penalties for working a 2 food, 1 production tile. I try to improve the tiles in that case, 'thou.

If you meet another civ with a scout they start off with better standing. I've found if you wait too long to send it, they will deny it.

Yes. That's exactly what I do when play as America or Sparta.

Sometimes I like generating lots of great artists, but build archeological museums. That way I know the AI won't get them, and at least at the difficulty I play it takes a while for them to produce archeologists.

@@sewrtyuiop997 works great with any early warmonger but definitely best with a lategame culture powerhouse like 'Murica. Persia is really good at it as well.

@@ariellwrf6844 I've done the same. Then just dump those artworks into any wonder that'll hold them.

What about sumeria

You probably had a luxury resource blocking it

Now?

Perrilium yeah I think I’ve had 1

Multiplayer is domination. Going for any other victory leads to a bad time. However if you DO try to go for another victory you have to make sure you keep track of how strong other people's armies are becoming and keep your up to snuff so when they inevitably attack you can defend.

I believe the civilopedia answers that question on the culture victory page, but I don’t remember what that answer is

You mean after GS? A little early to anticipate on that don't you think

Wijnand Wetsteijn New Expansion. why would they rework vanilla? it just needs some balance changes.

Yes if you subsequently build a wonder next to a Theatre square the adjacency bonus will increase :) The same is true for e.g Campus, if you chop down jungle next to then you lose that adjacency.

@@ArticulateFish Hmm that is good to know thanks a lot

Well you have some good points, but if you have 10-15 cities, good luck filling 10-15 archeological museums. You also want to be careful not to upset your neighbours by stealing all their cultural heritage and then be dragged into a late war. I found a good combination of both to be the most efficient way for my playstyle. In high-production cities I usually prefer archeological museums, since they have the production to also build archeologists. And in low production cities and the city I have placed Reyna go for art museums. I understand that science is very important for cultural victories, but culture should not be underestimated. There are some very powerful policies that come very late in the culture tree. You already mentioned heritage tourism, but there is also Satellite Broadcasts (+200 % tourism from works of music) and the most important one: online communication (+50% tourism to civs you have a trade route), which is basically half as good as computers. There are some significan benefits from building early theatre squares. If you can get a few of these down and russia is not in the game you can get almost all the great writers/artists/musicians in the game. Early tourism is extremely powerful in generating tourists. Especially works of writing, since they give 8 tourism with printing press. But wait, there is more. With all the great works you get you deny them to other civs, preventing them to generate their cultural defense. Just recently I played a game as Gorgo and went theatre square first in every city (except capital). I got every single Writer, Artist and Musician, and was generating over 1000 culture by turn 130 (granted I was suzerain of Antananarivo, which, which gave me like +40% culture). But to make my point, even though my science was pretty bad and I didn't even reach Steel (for Eifel Tower), Radio (Seaside resorts) or Computert by the end of the game, it didn't matter because I won the game anyway already before turn 160. That's how powerful those great works can be. I had 3 great works of music in my capital with Reyna. Each one of them was generating 24 tourism, that's a pretty good national park for comparision. And my great works of Art were generating 74 tourism, that was still more than 10% of my total tourism output. Maybe this will make you rethink your position on those great works and appreciate them more in your future games.

@@Sammy-gs9hl I can understand some of your points, but if early game is a struggle due to dickhead neighbours, likely warmongerers or more I would much rather be focusing anything BUT culture. Especially in higher difficulty games, where monuments serve as a "ok" stop gap in culture early game. Then later I can steal great works off of other players. Sure they have a larger culture defense but my stronger science early game actually helps me not get steamrolled, Great works don't defend my cities against AI's with significant early game bonuses. I understand how early stacking loads of theatres means other civs cant get a culture defense, unfortunately that doesn't help me survive if im near a terrifying scientific warmongerer who covets my lands. I would much rather hold off on theatre squares until later and then steal great works from my opponents. Yes, they have a higher culture defense, but I didnt have to put in the work of generating the great artists. Also, Great works of music are missing something. You get industrial era musicians but no reliable space to slot them till the Modern era. How do you get these musicians efficiently? Build loads of theatres. But then that takes away potentially from science that allows you to put them anywhere. I can understand that a mix or archeological and art museums are effective, but archeology is still outright stronger than art in every regard. An unthemed archeology museum with heritage tourism matches a themed art museum with heritage tourism. How is that fair in anyway? Yes there's less culture but you also get mary sodding leakey to add salt to the wound. It feel like a punch in the face to people who DO work to get culture and great works early game. Same as how these musicians you generate early on cant go ANYWHERE until modern era is also a bit of a punch in the face. Like... I understand it. The system just feels incomplete and slightly incorrectly balanced as it currently stands.
