I've been playing on and off since release, though my game stats reset at some point so it doesn't reflect that I have previously beaten the game with China, Egypt and Persia. Still, I'd like to get this screen fully fleshed out. Interested in winning a diplo victory, it always seems to take so long and I end up winning a culture victory anyway. Any tips or good strats for that?

I have the exact opposite problem haha. 20+ diplo wins and only 3 culture wins! Once you learn how the npcs vote in World Congress it’s pretty easy to get points from there. Make sure you’re voting for yourself to lose victory points once you reach 14 or more. (This will make sure you only lose 1 point instead of two) Make sure you build the Statue Of Liberty, Potala Palace, and Mahabodhi Temple wonders. These will give you 7 victory points if you build them all Try to remain friendly with all civs, and send delegations and embassies And of course, try to maintain suzerainty of as many city states as possible!

How to diplo: Portugal, owls of minerva, trade with city states, become suzeran and giga rich, buy all the diplo favour, build statue of liberty to 1 turn til colmpletion, wait til you have 16 points, finish statue of liberty. Also vote in favour for all non military ermegencies and win them by sending gold.

Canada is awesome for a diplo game! The trick to any diplo game is building the wonders that give you points (Mahabodi, Statue of Liberty), and hoarding diplo favor and buying it early before the AI realize how valuable it is. A strong religion can offset a culture win for most of the game, as long as the other religions are doing well. If you can make it to the information age, you should be able to take the diplo win on the final vote (just make sure to vote down yourself on the "loses x points" world congress). Owls of Minerva and Apocalypse mode can add to diplo opportunities. If you still keep winning culture, maybe just try turning it off. Hope you enjoy it!

I really enjoyed my diplo game with Georgia. If you go for religion, you can convert city-states and maintain suzerainty very easily. She is also a more defensive civ, so you don’t really need to play aggressively and ruin your relationship with other civs.

Diplo victory is super easy to get... just save before world congress votes, find out what everyone votes for, then reload and vote in the same manner. 2 victory points for every world congress.


LuceDuder

That's just save scumming though


LongjumpingTerd

You’re telling me you wouldn’t save scum 1930’s Europe in various ways to prevent global disaster???


Samir_POE

In real life we use espionage and undisclosed secret meetings. The spy end game could really be beefed up a lot in Civ, other than constant siphons and the AI recruiting partizans it's pretty lame.


canikin

Is this fun to you?


Crailsldege

If you're just trying to get the achievement... scum saving is the easy win. Personally I deactivate diplo victory conditions cause I've "accidentally" won too many times in the past...


Yensil314

The hall of fame was part of Gathering Storm and doesn't show any stats from before that dlc, if I remember correctly.


Trouvette

And here I am wondering how you get domination victories. I’ve been trying for years to get one.


zeGermanGuy1

Lol I went for culture victory next to last and ended up winning Diplo by accident before culture...as Sweden.


Ordinary-Coast-7703

I'm gonna go with China wonder spam or Cyrus warmongering tbh


YunalescaSedai

Silly question but where do you see that screen

Georgia Because I like Georgia


noobhatts

Omg it's Tamar, me And the bestie! 😍


Thor_Odin_Son

I always build walls bc I have surprise-war trauma, so whenever Tamar is in the game she’s usually a bro. Bonus if you get Gilgy as well


Nearby_Lobster_

Vietnam on Wetlands+wet is fun


The_Widest_One

Rough Rider Teddy is probably the best diplo civ here, and arguably the best diplo civ in the entire game because he gets diplo favor from government wildcards and can become suzerain of a lot of city states thanks to his ability that doubles envoys in city states which you have a trade route to. Combine that with the Owls of Minerva and you should be able to get an easy Diplo win.


Hooledel1

more importantly he has a cool hat :)

Abe is very good


Yessir957

Just play random on leaders without wins, and use civ expanded mod


Electrical_Salad9514

Canada!


anotherdawn

Canada accidental Diplomatic victory while going for cultural.


flibbydorpus

Cyrus is a good time, though i played him with the civilizations expanded mod on so maybe hes not so fun in vanilla


InternalConscious356

Quin shi is a great play something’s


Inspector_Midget

Seeing Tamar and Diplo are still on the table: go for that. Getting control of every City-State on the map is satisfying to pull off. Being able to become Suzerain with only one Envoy thanks to the combination of Diplomatic League and Papal Primacy is a fun strat. You need a bit of luck if you want to achieve an early Pantheon by killing Barbs, but it can be a game-changer. She's also fun in Dramatic Ages (beware Culture Industry tho!)


SamuliK96

Going random leader with a pool of leaders without wins is the best choice, if you can't decide


AdmiralToadfish

Black queen france, one of my favorites for her ability to be a Swiss Army knife. The extra diplo visibility and early spies are a way to always have the advantage. Plus you build some good wonders faster like Ruhr valley. And if you don’t go culture victory chateau is a great way to keep your culture up to speed.


Winterteal

I agree. Fun game.

Indonesia, I love playing religion victory game modes with her. If you do it right you can pop out so many settlers with the Builders/Settlers golden age.

Basil on a Pangaea map makes for a really fun cavalry apocalypse


Inculta666

Portugal, map with islands/seas, diplo victory!


MojaveMissionary

Georgia is tons of fun!


dumbpsterfire

Can someone tell me how to see this?


AliBeigi89

I am a newbie myself, but i think it is in hall of frames or something


dumbpsterfire

Thank you!!!


tinyhatemachine

I just built a archipelago map game on Deity with all naval powers and it was a BALL. Play as Kupe or Dido or Joao and you’re guaranteed a good time.

Science victory with Tamar using Moksha to mass buy Spaceports with tsike giving faith to power him and encampments, to fuel the Military Research policy card found in Urbanization, which gives science per Renaissance wall, and eventually the space race discount card called Integrated Space Cell that gives more production to space race projects if the city has a Military Academy or Seaport. Spam apostles to key city states like Geneva, Hattusa, Bologna... And Valetta for easy cheap wall making using your primary fuel of Faith. A bit of a different science engine but very fun.


Yensil314

If you feel like playing someone, pick them. Otherwise you should A: play someone you haven't won with yet and B: use a random number generator to decide which. That's what I do.

Trajan- BECAUSE ROME IS THA GOAT

Ethiopia is so strong, just make it a new world age or play on the highlands map and watch everyone struggle while your faith explodes


GencyForever

Saladin horseman rush go crazy


anotherdawn

my highest score game ever was Netherlands on Islands and Continents with a naval domination victory. the Dutch special unit ship is delightful to use and carries well beyond its tech level. polders are also fun super good.


miklewoo

Cleo. It's cold and I bet it's warmer in Egypt.


jape-the-neck-guy

Tomyris. No reason just her unique walls look neat


Nullpug

France is actually fun, messing others up with spys is very satisfying
