Science victory is easier on the lower difficulties, as you go up difficulty, not only is is harder to get happiness and gold, but also the number of beakers you need for each technology increases! So science victories get much much harder on the upper difficulties. | ||

For example, when going for culture, you have to really decide between turns 50-80 to do it and once you decide, there is no going back. And that is honestly a little bit lame. On the other hand, if you decide to go science OR domination, depending on circumstances, you might have to change your plans, even if going for the other option from the get-go would have been a little bit more efficient. | ||

I also wish that they had a mode that was even faster for the sake of realistic playtime ): | ||

Also, does anyone have any experience trying to win a domination victory on the hardest difficulty? I bet one of my friends that it could be done but I've had some trouble even getting started without getting totally raped =P I haven't put that much time into it yet but asking here could be a good way to get some ideas to get the ball rolling. | ||

Yes, it's definitely possible. You might want to try something like Epic-Pangaea-Deity and use the Mongols, the Huns, Rome, China, or some other civ with a relatively overpowered unique unit that you can tech to quickly. Slower speed and fewer opponents makes it easier. These timings are still possible at Standard speed, but you're only going to be able to take out 1 or 2 neighboring civs at most. After that you'll have to snowball your advantage into air tech. | ||

I think they should just change the simultaneous turns into kind of planning and you will revise it once your turn hits and if there aren't major changes to things you just click ok and it performs all planned actions. | ||

Also everyone needs to have decent PCs and connection or the load times are horrible. It's fun when it works but could be so much better, like hiding the score or at least make some information from Demographics tab to be aquirable by spying instead etc. I think they should just change the simultaneous turns into kind of planning and you will revise it once your turn hits and if there aren't major changes to things you just click ok and it performs all planned actions. Yes, I like this. I've also been trying to figure out which civ is the most op for Multiplayer :B They're all reallly, really passive until mid-industrial or Renaissance. | ||

I agree there have to be some snowball mechanics. But I think there are already plenty of advantages toward higher number of tiles - you get more science, gold, production, AND the outskirt cities serve as buffers for your core cities. Also you can move around your army more easily for strategic purposes because you have so much land and space. | ||

Sure, I understand micromanagement in this game. If I have a new citizen in my city in 1 turn and an Aqueduct in 2 turns, I can delay the citizen for another turn and let my Aqueduct finish first. But there is no way to temporarily stop culture accumulation, and even if I diligently avoid trying to accumulate too much culture before a certain era, there will always be plenty of cultural CS which I will accidentally befriend and push me to another policy when I am not ready for one yet. | ||

I think the game is fun when it's not a permawar from start like some people like to play, all that trading, secret alliances, backstabs, revenges from rushed wonders and whatnot is great. I've noticed it's safer to steal worker from city state than another player early on, the amount of hate and focus on plotting is massive for the rest of the game, heh. | ||

I don't know who came up with this idea, but it's absolutely stupid that I have to spend my culture points to invest in a policy even though I prefer to wait for another tree in a different era.

I see what you are saying, but saving up culture for policies was insanely OP! I agree that it is a flaw in the game design, but back when you could save up policies, there was a way to rush all the way to biology and essentially skip all of the renaissance. It was stronger than any other strat so it wouldve been kinda silly to keep in the game. | ||
