Why is diplomacy so fucked up arrrgg. Nothing but nice to japan and sweden and they both declare war and somehow have like 10 times more units then me and also better economies+tech. I fight Sweden off due to the terrible ai and then Japan just swamps me. I mean the last Civ I played was alpha centari but even that had a better system then this shit.

fuuuuuuu

from what i understand, the AI can be a bit "opportunistic". meaning, if they have a stronger army than you, then they're more likely to attack you. it's just like punishing a greedy player in starcraft. took me a while to figure that out.

i stopped playing this game cuz it felt either way too easy or way too hard. and super gimmicky/luck based. i probably just suck tho.

good luck.

This is true.

However, you should also note that not AIs are made the same. Some AIs are a lot more "opportunistic" than others.

For example if you appears to be weak militarily Napoleon will instantly dow you. On the other hand Gandhi *usually* won't do it unless you piss him off in some way.

And some are just fucking insane and will do their best to fight you no matter what you do. Most obvious culprit of this is Montezuma. In my experience Elizabeth is the same if she is anywhere close to you in terms of strength.

When you get up to the higher difficulties, almost all of the AIs are warmongers that will DoW you. In part, this is a function of the AI almost always having a comparatively larger army than you until you make the switch to full blown war production.

Venice and The Shoshoni, our final 2 Civs, confirmed. More screenshots in spoiler below~ (or view here> http://imgur.com/a/Mxdc7#6)
--


Venice - Enrico Dandolo


UA: Cannot gain settlers or annex cities. Double the number of trade routes available. A Merchant of Venice appears after researching Optics. May purchase in puppeted cities

Great Galleass: Replaces Galleass; Has +2 combat, +3 ranged combat but costs 73p vs 67

Merchant of Venice: Replaces Great merchant; Has an additional ability to buy city states as puppet cities.

The Shoshone - Chief Pocatello


UA: Cities start out with extra territory. Units receive a combat bonus in friendly territory.

Pathfinder: Scout replacement; Can choose its ancient ruin reward. Same strength as warrior.

Comanche Rider: Cavalry replacement; +1 movement. Costs less to produce.

The fuck? I haven't played with ancient ruins on for a while, but the ability to choose your reward strikes me as being rather powerful.

As someone who just bought the gold edition on Steam, I'm wondering if you think it's worth to pick up BNW directly for me?

Well, last 2 Civs are hella underwhelming. Don't like their choices at all.
But nevertheless I think BNW is worth getting. Only thing is, if you pick it up now or wait some time for a similiar sale like last week and get it for 1/3 of it's release price. I preordered it, cause I'm already excited to freshen up my Civ experience.
I'm shy and reserved, even on the internet.

I think Venice is a really cool civ. The ultimate money whore civ. It will be the first one that I play.

Venice sounds retarded. You are basically forced to play OCC?

Shoshone, on the other hand, seems really, REALLY OP. Almost guaranteed Pantheon (pop Faith) by itself is very strong.

Yeah, the combat bonus in friendly territory and free culture ring in new cities are nothing to sneeze at, either. They will be the masters of the fast start and incredibly flexible.

Choosing what to get from ruins seems pretty OP no more gold map reveal and barbarian reveals only technology, culture and faith :D

I am slightly curious as to whether or not they START with Pathfinders or not. If they do, they will be mindblowingly OP. If they don't, they will still be pretty good.

What does cities starting with extra territory mean? Every city starts with rings 1+2?

That's what I guess. This civ as AI on Deity will be incredibly annoying.

That's one way to look at it. The other way is that it's a Civ that's actually designed for OCC. So you play it if you want to play OCC, and if you don't then you don't.

Of course, the problem comes if the CPU randomly picks it; it's basically like having one fewer opponents.
So you know, cats are interesting. They are kind of like girls. If they come up and talk to you, it's great. But if you try to talk to them, it doesn't always go so well. - Shigeru Miyamoto
