Those are all "major" Empires/Civs that are still missing or could be considered. That I can think of. The Civs not in Civ V including that list from past civilizations are Sioux, Zulu, Ethiopia, Sumer, Khmer, Holy Roman Empire, Mali, Hittite, and Austria. There's probably some overlap in cultures. | ||

The gold bonus Songhai gets is actually HUGE, giving you a nice 200-300 gold early game when you need it, and up to 2k bonus gold during wartime. If you take out one civ as Songhai, you don't have any downtime so you can easily snowball it to an early domination, whereas most civs need to stop and potentially disband units due to maintenance costs. You're right, I forgot about the Songhi's gold bonus. But there is still some major balance issues. Egypt gets +10% production on wonders and England gets +1 naval movement per turn. Somehow that doesn't seem justified to me. On February 21 2012 09:15 dranko wrote: Religion is great, but I still think the Social Polices are really stupid. A combination of government-types from Civ3 and Civics from Civ 4 to replace it would be awsome. I really like the social policies system. Gives a purpose to culture and culture buildings even if you aren't going for the cultural victory. Also can add some good strategic depth later in the game by forcing players to make decisions. What I don't like is the lack of strategic depth and choices in the first 50 turns when it comes to policies. Unless you are going for a very early domination, choosing anything other than Tradition->Aristocracy and Liberty->Collective Rule makes no sense. +15% production for wonders means you can go for the Pyramids or Collossus early and gain a huge advantage, and then you get the free settler and sped up settler production. So around turn 50-60 in a normal game you can have a powerful wonder with a second city and a good number of improved tiles due to the increased tile improvement speed. Not really any choice there.

I'm okay in skill level (I can win on Noble), but I don't have much experience playing online. All I know is that I need a strong military at all times, and domination will probably be the only way to victory. I usually play as Japan, Russia, or Rome. The best place to learn about civ is the Civ Fanatics forums, http://www.civfanatics.com. If you play as Japan or Rome, a good strategy that's pretty common is to rush for Iron Working and make tons of swordsmen (or the equivalent UU for your civ). Take Liberty policies for the free settler, get 3 or 4 cities up quickly, and pump warriors to upgrade them into swordsmen as soon as you discover iron. I usually wait to plant my last city near an iron deposit. | ||

I usually wait to plant my last city near an iron deposit. Especially good advice for playing Rome considering that the Legion special unit can build roads. Gets you extra $$ and also if you get meritocracy (I think that's the one) on Liberty tree you get extra happiness for connecting cities, in addition to the defense benefits of a good road system. For Rome, I would also reccoment sticking to a highly production focus over growth. Rome's cities get I believe 25% production bonus on any building that already exists in the capitol. By getting the basic buildings (library, market, etc.) Up early in the capitol you can get far ahead early. | ||
