Ty1: Unsurprisingly perhaps since I had no coastal capitals, I haven't tried the exploration tree yet as it so happens. :P

Ty2: I'm not too worried about Europe. Odds are with how many civs there are there that they'll be fighting among themselves and weak to outside attack. Unless of course one of them has managed to take control. Forests I'm not too worried about as far as movement goes, but they could be problematic from an attack-range standpoint.

Ty3: Unless I get the mods for TSL Mongolia first, my next game will be as the Shosone, Zulu, Ethiopia, and England. :D

Ty5: That sounds... Interesting. :lol:


Quick update on my Assyria game, I took Washington and then just where I left off last night I'd wiped out Indonesia as the Industrial Era is starting. Rome has fallen to Mongolia, and I've discovered the final civ, Japan, who appear to be on an island out in the middle of the sea. From that I founded World Congress, but I've since lost hosting it to Morocco.

DF1: Ah. I personally like it because it gives you a boost in naval movement, boosts in happiness and production, and reveals extra archaeological sites not available to non-exploration civs. Really the only thing I don't like is the free Great Admiral because those suck and I rarely ever have much use for them.

DF2: Very true. Every TSL game I've ever played has Europe being a complete hell hole with all the civs fighting over what little space there is. It's very small, very cramped, full of forests and hills, and sprinkled with lots of mountain ranges. In general, it sucks. Mostly however it probably shouldn't be too bad since as you said they'd be too weak to fend off a foreign power. The only main issue would probably be England/Celts since they get to spawn on the islands to the north of Europe (and said islands are just as cramped and forested). The Eastern Europeans shouldn't be too hard to take out, the Franco-Iberians can be taken out by crossing through Gibraltar, Italy can be accessed a bit more easily through Tunisia (because ain't nobody trying to cross through no Alps mountains), and from there Central Europe and the Scandinavians can easily be taken by crossing through Scandinavia and the heading south. It's really just the British Isles that I imagine being a slightly bigger pain. From there, nothing is in the middle of Africa and anything south of Ethiopia and the Sahara can largely be ignored except for the Zulu, but as I said, those'd be easier to take through the sea. I really can't wait to hear what'll happen though!!!

DF3: Sweet! It's certainly interesting playing as multiplayer so long as there's enough non-you civs to keep you entertained. That and if you have unbiased competition with yourself too. Like how I'm pretty sure the Safavids will kill Armenia even though I kinda like Armenia better and hope Armenia lives long enough to get nukes. But hopefully you'll be getting mods soon! ^_^

DF5: Haha yeah, there's plenty of new civs. However I've noticed a trend on a lot of the new civs being re-makes of civs that are already in game (Ex. Lincoln's America, Hitler's Germany, Victoria's England, etc.) or former Mongol states. There's dozens more though, representing lots of the world that was left out of the base game. You should look into some of them someday. ^_^

Ty1: True, though I've been finding that at the time in the game when it becomes available that I'm either finishing off a tree I've started earlier, or that I'm getting into Ideology tenets that are generally better on average. Usually I've been going for the Commerce route. The initial boost to Gold output in the capital is nice. Wagon Trains isn't the best on a Plus map (since the city states are all off-shore on islands) if I'm going for domination, but halving the maintenance on road/railroads is very nice when you've got a big empire. Mercenary Army... well, it's probably not bad if you aren't going for domination. The Landsknechts are only useful in combat for a certain range of time, and you need to have the money to buy them. Really the only long-term use it has later in the game is that you can buy garrisons cheaply (relative to the units later in the game) to get the happiness and culture from Honor's Military Caste policy. Enterpreneurship is okay long-term, but it's lack of any immediate effect kind-of bites. However, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is Protectionism and the completion effect; +2 happiness for every luxury and +1 gold from trading posts goes a very long ways towards supporting a large empire.

Still, I cansee how Exploration could rival it, but being unlocked later and being limited towards coastal cities makes it a bit less desirable generally, at least from a domination point of view. Perhaps my biggest complaint against Exploration though is that hidden sites aside it has nothing to do with terrestrial exploration. :P


Ty2: Yeah, there's definitely going to be some civs that will be difficult to take by land. I imagine I'll do something similar to what I did in the game I just told you about, and launch a rush of naval attacks in the atomic era and then move units with airports as needed for inland conquest once I can.


Ty3: Oh yes, I'm definitely going to be unbiased. That's one of the things I'm most excited about. At least until I can start doing multi-player with you guys, my toughest source competition is myself.

Ty5: Yeah, I'd looked around a bit back when I was waiting for Civ to re-install and in particular I saw a number of Mesopotamian civs. If there are any civ in particular you'd recommend, I'd certainly be interested to hear. ^_^


@Saidi: How come I knew you'd say that?
Answer: Because you've said it so many times before.

1: Yeah, I love taking on the Commerce tree when I can. I especially like pairing Liberty, Exploration, and Commerce to make a huge world spanning empire with lots of money and production. Overall though I guess I just go for whatever is needed, so I don't have any one particular pattern I go for and just try to get whichever suits my Civ best in this particular round. My favorite has to be Exploration though, mostly because I like exploring and playing culturally.

2: Yeah. I'd say your best bet is to just build up nicely and once you can warmonger, try to eat up as much of the old world as you can and once the UUs become outdated wait until maybe the Atomic Era or something to strike at the rest of the survivors across the globe.

3: Or crank it up to Deity and watch how long you can last before the AI eats you. Haha just kidding but I'm sure it'll be awesome! It's like playing chess with yourself only so much better. It really helps you get a good sense of all the difference different start locations and all of that can make too! ^_^ I hope you enjoy it. Any news on when you'll get internet? Can't wait to play multiplayer with you. even though i'll be crushed instantly

5: I can't think of any to recommend but there's stuff out there for everyone. I have most of the mods though, so I guess any are fine. In General though I rather liked all the Colonial Legacies, Patria Grande, Zambezi, and a few others. Can't think of any specific ones I'd recommend off the top of my head though. I have a thing for Vietnam from Colonial Legacies, but it's kinda meh, I just personally liked it because why not. Actually, I think you might like the Safavids now that I think about it.

Ty1: Yeah, it's always a good idea to pick policies based on the game/your strategy.

Ty3: No clue for certain when. Though I was wondering if you guys still wanted to face me in a game. [Insert you god here] help you if you spawn on the same continent as me, or worse, right next to me. :lol:
Of course, that's assuming I decide to go for domination. :P

Ty5: Safavids? From a quick wikipedia search they seem somewhat interesting.


@Saidi: All noted. Thanks for the suggestions. :)


Assyria Update: Since I wiped all other civs off my continent (except Japan since technically their "island" is a giant peninsula connected to my continent, but as small and thin as it is I'm still counting it as effectively separate. Morocco is leading in population, soldier, and literacy right now, and I'm leading in everything else. Morocco has set themselves up as a powerhouse in the north of the second continent, with a few southern colonies beyond Mongolia. On which note, Mongolia is the power in the south and -since they conquered Rome- the middle of the continent. The Ottomans have stuck to the west coast and my spies report that their preparing an attack on Venice that I suspect they'll succeed in unless they really screw up. So far only Morocco and I have adopted Ideologies: Autocracy and Order respectively.

So my predictions are this;
Venice is going to fall to the Ottomans, giving them full control of the west coast.
Japan is going to remain a small and isolated civilization at the bottom of pack.
Morocco, Mongolia, and the Ottomans are going to end up fighting each other in a mighty clash. They've fought before to no apparent effect, but I imagine things will get serious soon.

I'm still unsure what I'll do, exactly. I'm poised to send out a navy against the other continent, but I'm also half inclined to fill in the rest of the space on my own continent and go for a science or diplomatic victory. Or I might still do some warring but not go for domination. We'll see.

That's how TSL games usually end up. Everyone hates everyone because they all spawn so close to each other and usually there are only one or two powerhouse civs per continent except for Asia which is for the most part uninhabited.

Ty3: Darn haha. And of course we'd be interested in facing you in multiplayer! Or at least I sure would be!

Ty5: I just though you may or may not like them because they're vaguely akin to being a more cultured Mongolia. Basically they get boosts for Declaring War/Friendship, have a UB that creates Production and a Luxury Resource, and their UU is a mounted unit that generates Faith, Gold, and Culture. Though I'm sure Khazaria and Yakutia, amongst others, would be a great fit too! ^_^

ToDF: Yeah, all the ones that Saidi mentioned are top choice Mods and I have all of them. Definitely go for them once you think you're ready to begin altering the actual gameplay of Civ5. It's certainly worth it.

Crush Venice yourself, move in on the Ottoman lands, but before doing so, use your wealth and luxuries to pay Mongolia to attack Morocco so that they're both weaker and once your forces are gathered again go for a quick siege on the losing side of the conflict. Preferably Morocco. Then win a Cultural Victory on Mongolia or kill them off as you see fit.

Ty1: All will fall before the Mongol horde!

Ty2: Oooooo. That does sound like it's right up my alley.

Ty3: The one mod from what I've heard that I'm definitely interested in is the Civ IV features one you mentioned using. Particularly, being able to make vassals of other civs sounds like something that would be very useful. What exactly are the benefits of making a Civ your vassal, though?

Ty4: A good idea, but sadly not the way things went.

The Ottomans took Venice well before my navy was ready. I did try seeing if I could bribe anyone into a war against Morocco, but there were no takers. The Ottomans and Mongolia joined Morocco on the Autocracy train, which probably didn't help my cause of setting them to war any. Japan meanwhile took up Freedom.

What I did manage to pull off though was bribing enough of the other civs that I got Order enacted as the World Ideology. This lead to Japan switching to Order, and put both Morocco and the Ottomans into a state of Dissidents.

Tourism wise, Morocco has managed to get ahead of me in output since the arrival of Hotels, but I'm still a close second. I'm not far off becoming influential over Mongolia and Japan, but Morocco has way to much culture to surpass.

I've gradually gained power in congress as you can see by my enacting of the World Ideology, and currently I'm in the lead with 14 delegates and rising. We should soon be switching eras and going into the UN phase, and I'm poised to become host and be very close to a diplomatic victory. As things stand, this looks like the best route I have available to me.

Now that said, I haven't ditched military action by any means. As soon as my navy was ready I sent it to the nearest coastal city -Mongolia's Hsia- and took it in a few turns. I then got Beshbalik through my peace treaty with Mongolia. Hsia and Beshbalik are on the southern border of Morocco's main territory, and will be my staging point to attack them once I get Airports in a few turns. Meanwhile, since Morocco doesn't appear to have any (or at least many) coastal cities, I've sent my navy on towards Venice and The Ottomans. All but maybe one of the Ottomans cities are coastal, and Venice has the Forbidden Palace that will serve to help me go for a Diplomatic victory.

It's turn 426, so it's getting down to the wire either way. If nothing else, through my conquests I should be able to keep myself ahead of Morocco in points for a Time victory. It seems that this game has been a bit behind on technological advancement compared to the others I've played recently. Not sure particularly why that ended up being the case, but so it is.

Ty1: Don't count on it! jkjki'mscrewedhuh>

Ty2: Indeed! I've enjoyed playing as them so far though unfortunately I didn't get to use the UU very much due to a lack of horses in the general area.

Ty3: Well, when you demand stuff from them iirc they're forced to give it to you, at least the first time anyways. When in war they're always forced to take your side, so if you declare war they do to. The master receives 10% of the vassals culture generation. You automatically have open borders from them. However, having too many vassals will make other civs dislike you and you also have to pay maintenance costs for the vassal's cities.

Ty4: Oh alright. That's still pretty awesome! I hope you do get to crush Morocco though!

Hahahah.

I start the game, click "Next Turn", and Morocco declares war and surrounds Beshbalik. I'm still 2 turns out for Airports. So Beshbalik is probably going to fall. Hsia is sitting pretty safe from land assaults though since it's surrounded by mountains. I think I'm going to blow the Great Artist I've got sitting around on a golden age so I start pumping out gold and can buy some air units. I'll probably update this post with what happens if no one's posted yet.

EDIT: Turn 431

Morocco has Beshbalik on the ropes, but I have Bombers protecting Hsia and Airports ready to send over land units as soon as the ground is clear. Even with the war against Morocco going on, I continued with my attack on Venice and the Ottomans -my navy would have had little use against Morocco anyway. As of this turn I have just taken Venice.

In other news, Congress advanced to the UN and I got host. Between being host, my allies, and now having the Forbidden Palace, I've got 30 Delegates. I need 47 to win. Lucky for me, I just need to wait for the International Games to finish up and I'll get the city-state influence boost from it and more allies.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen the Moroccans declare war. This'll be intriguing.

MLS is, and always will be, slightly more intelligent than Ayn Rand.

I like how you’ve crossed out the actually sensible thing, in favor of being Smaug.

The best thing that's happened to me in a long long time. Welcome back bro, I've missed you.

Turn 432
The Ottomans are making a (weak) attempt to reclaim Venice and getting shot down by my battleships. Beshbalik has fallen to Morocco and they have set it ablaze. Their attack on Hsia is going poorly since they got an unhappiness penalty, have the mountains to contend with, and my bombers attacking them from above.

Turn 434:
Morocco offered me a peace treaty so I've taken it so I can fly in my land troops for attack as soon as the treaty is over, and so I can steal away some of their allies if I can in the mean time.

Turn 436:
Also made peace with the Ottomans now. Got me a city, I have time to move my navy to my next target, and I can steal away their allies.

...But I'm cool with that.

On Turn... 454 I think it was, I won a Diplomatic Victory.

Since then I've started the fight against The Ottomans again. I captured three or so cities from them and then got their biggest city in a peace treaty. Now they're down to their capital and one other city. I haven't attacked Morocco yet, but there's a good reason for this; my a-bombs are still a few turns out of range of their capital... :D
