CIV VI Game 2: Win. Was going for a Religious victory but had one civ left to convert when I actually landed a Culture victory

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Nov 2 '16, 05:30

Germany was pretty close to a space win but I was using my spys to sabatoge any spaceports that any Civ built

Crazy game. Never fought in combat against another civ, built maybe 4 offensive units the entire game mostly to deal with a handful of barbarians. Had a total of 4 cities, the 3rd which I just built on a little island I found but suffered from huge production costs for the most part

Now onto game 3 at Emperor level

The "warless" win was a trademark of mine in Civ 5, but that seems harder to manage this time with the more aggressive AI. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 05:36 16

  - the glitch in Civ 1 that turns him into a Killer remains one of my favorite game mistakes ever -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 05:54 1
    - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Nov 2, 06:00
- I'm not sure why they didn't attack. I was on a continent by myself (though rather small) to start. Eventually two of the AI had cities on my - oblique Nov 2, 05:37 12
  - That's probably why - land invasions are a lot easier than sea. Plus if a Civ sends its invasion force to the other side of the world, its neighbours - Roger More Nov 2, 05:40
  - can cities flip due to culture or religion in 6? I used to love the culture bomb in Civ 4 -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 05:39 10
    - No. I'm not exactly sure what Culture does but it seems related to Tourism. Religion is a distinct thing from "owning" a city - oblique Nov 2, 05:42 9
      - Culture works more like Science now - you progress through a Civics tree similar to the tech tree. - Roger More Nov 2, 05:46 4
        
        I had a weird thing where after a certain point I couldn't build Archeologists anymore. Couldn't figure out why -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 06:01 3
        
        Archeology museums filled up? -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 06:11 2
        
        Yeah. It was just weird I couldn't build more even if that was the case -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 06:14 1
        
        You need an archeology museum to build an archeologist, so it makes sense that iff they're filled, you can't build them -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 06:57
      - ahh, so culture doesn't extend your borders in 6? -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 05:45 3
        
        It still allows cities to grow the number of tiles they have, I think. -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 05:48 1
        
        Looking it up, yes - more culture = faster border growth. But once those borders run up against another Civ there's no way to change that I can see. - Roger More Nov 2, 05:52
        
        I think maybe it does. It isn't really clear from the UI thought -- nm - oblique Nov 2, 05:46
