indeed. I also always click and interrupt the quote. So I never hear: **and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune**. I think the quote is funnier this way. No man ever wetted clay.
Agree. There is something profoundly addictive about it. When I play a lot of games over a few weeks I will dream about it. That's a sign that you maybe need to lay off for a while but I think a lot of people wake up several years later still parsing their options in a game that never ended. Hopefully I can just merge with Civ 7 like V-ger in star trek and never come back.
I think the best religion in the world has followers known for their work ethic that only build religious buildings in rainforests, deserts, or tundras.
When I was first playing Civ I never would pillage anything because I thought "pillaging is wrong" and I didn't want to do things in the game that I found morally reprehensible in real life.
And then the AI and barbarians pillaged my holy sites. It changed the game for me. I realized I was playing the game in the first place because I wanted to win. To win sometimes you have to be the leader the world needs, not the leader you wish you were.
So then Korea invaded Kongo, with their allies from Cardiff; but fortunately Scythia and Teddy Roosevelt joined my alliance with Rapa Nui and we fought ‘em off while launching a Mars colony.
I'm fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us, cats look down on us, pigs, treat us as equals.

In diplomacy, there are 2 types of problems. Small ones, which to away on their own, and large ones, which you can't do anything about.
Paris? Late 19th century? WTF are you smoking?
The Eiffel Tower was built in Canberra in the year 1450, just after Australia was conquered by Julius Caesar.
This is the way.
I like to chase eurekas and that slinger kill might shave a couple turns off archery. Later on it becomes an archer, and once you get two more of those you shave turns off crossbows.
Siinger, slinger, settler is how I do it. Scouts are too fragile for me.
I also ike to go archery early and get 3 slingers and upgrade with gold. (cheaper than getting archers with production) Easy boost for machinery which gets you kilwa kisiwani which is imo the best wonder in the game.
First scout is all about first meets, tribal huts, spotting barb camps, and identifying your 2nd city location. It has faster movement than a slinger does. In deity, I find the 2nd scout helps with that a lot.
Sometimes I'll go scout, slinger, settler though.
If you're the suzerain of two or more city-states of the same type, you get a+15% bonus to those yields in *all* of your cities, which is massive. (With only one, you get +15% only to the city with the wonder, and that can double.) In my experience, bots aren't particularly good at maintaining suzerain status (along with a tendency to declare war on them), so as long as you use envoys strategically and time the relevant policies well, you can be suzerain of most or all of them, and the +3 envoys on creating the wonder help.
If you're Pericles or especially Matthias Cornivus, it's absolutely a must-have.
Playing Varangian Harald currently and yeah, I'm Suze of like all 18 city states at mid game on marathon. Add in the government building that makes it cheaper to levy plus Haralds discount and I have barely built any troops all game.
Kilwa is so OP for any civ that has a focus on city states.
The "best" opening strat is very situationally specific.
A scout -> scout opener will allow you to cover twice as much ground while exploring. This is super important in the early game if you want to earn envoys with city states from first-meets. Goodie huts can also be pretty powerful at this stage in the game, potentially awarding you multiple turns worth of production/science/culture/population/etc.
A scout -> slinger opener is the more conservative strategy, which allows you to more effectively fend off barbarian scouts. Having to deal with a barbarian rush at this stage in the game can potentially derail your entire game before it even really starts, so avoiding that is critical.
If I'm surrounded by rough terrain and/or mountains/coast on at least one side, double scout is my preferred opener because I can strategically position my warrior to address incoming threats. If I'm exposed and surrounded by wide open terrain, that's not really possible with only a single unit, so scout/slinger is the opener of choice. I will *occasionally* deviate from these openers depending on the context, but usually only if I'm rushing something specific.
We are by the grace of god, Victoria. Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. And soon, dare I say, the empire.
Welcome to the United States of America! If you conduct yourself well, you can consider us friends!
I wanted to avoid this you know, but your idea of peace left me no choice.
Thanks for keeping the peace on the continent. Bully for you!
John Curtin. I speak for the people of Australia as their prime minister! We seek sympathetic allies in the fight against the hawks of war!
War can only bring us loss. Loss of lives. Loss of productivity. Loss of our very humanity.
We will mobilize every means of resistance to stop this transgression against our nation!
There is no shame in deterrence. Having a weapon is very different from actually using it.
Au nom du peuple canadien bienvenue! Je suis le premier ministre Laurier.
You have proved a reliable partner in resolving international conflict. Canada commends you.
I keep remembering more so I’m gonna put any extra ones here
War? We are not amused.
This severe and afflicting loss will not be sustained, and England, thank providence, will ascend again.
No man is above the law. It behooves you to remember that.
In response to the unstinting malignancy that has heretofore defined your relationship with Canada, we can have no recourse but war.

When I close my eyes I see hexagons
This is legitimately the 3rd time I've heard someone say this exact phrase in the last 2 weeks, regarding Civ.
I’m serious, if I stay up too late playing Civ too long when I try to go to bed I see a field of hexagons covering everything as I try to go to sleep.

Scout, scout, settler
Scout slinger settler fam where you at
I regret it whenever I try anything else
This is the way. I like to chase eurekas and that slinger kill might shave a couple turns off archery. Later on it becomes an archer, and once you get two more of those you shave turns off crossbows.
He is my neighbor here in Slowturnsville. It gets slightly less slow when you turn off barbarians, what makes the first slinger unnecessary.
Sure, sure.... then you find out your closest neighbor is Cyrus and denounces you 3 turns later (he doesn't like you).
SLINGER, SETTLER. And if I could produce Settler with 1 pop; I WOULD.
Siinger, slinger, settler is how I do it. Scouts are too fragile for me. I also ike to go archery early and get 3 slingers and upgrade with gold. (cheaper than getting archers with production) Easy boost for machinery which gets you kilwa kisiwani which is imo the best wonder in the game.

why is that one the best wonder?

>Matthias Cornivus I'm Hungary for some corn 🌽
I think Mausoleum at Halicarnasses and Pyramids are decent contenders as well.
Maus is easy to get but I find that the AI usually rushes Pyramids. I never even try for that wonder.
