I'm on the way to the gym. Oops. I think Hoff didn't want to stay up late(neither do I) but I'd be happy to get on and chat for a bit when I get back around 9:45.

There is a bunch of stuff in it. I like it thought!

Not the whole religion thing though.

Edit. I know that is from Gods and Kings.

Ideologies are pretty cool IMO along with all the culture changes, but it does take some time to get used to.

I love Civilization.  Played colonization, and have owned every Civ game + every expansion, with the exception of the new Colonization and Beyond earth.  With that being said I'm still not that great at playing.  I can win against computer opponents on low difficulty levels but even on the mid-range ones I almost always struggle.  Is it realistic to expect to consistently win @mid difficulty levels.  My strategy has always to have a few core amazing cities, then try to expand into a huge civilization and obtain victory through warmongering.  Anyone have some basic tips?  If I can get better, I would like to try multiplayer sometime, but I always just assumed I wouldn't stand a chance.  Also has anyone ever played it with a steam controller.  I was thinking if I could lie in bed at night and quietly play some Civ 5, that would be awesome.

For Civ V, the most common build plan is to go for Tradition and Rationalism social policies while building no more than 4 cities and then focusing on science and city growth, while aiming for a science victory.  This route discourages warmongering, large empires, and plays very isolationist but it's certainly not the only way to play and/or win.  When helping people with Civ, at least Civ V, I try to reiterate that science is ALWAYS the most important thing that you can go for.  Prioritize science buildings and science techs over other things, and if you maintain a small but technologically advanced military you shouldn't have to worry about other Civs bothering you too much.

Your play style would be described as wide and warmongering, and in Civ V both of these play styles are hard to pull off effectively without severely impacting relations with other Civs and your own Civ's happiness, which impacts your growth.  This could be a reason that you start to fall behind as the game progresses, so you may want to modify your strategy a little bit if you are interested in winning consistently on the middle and upper difficulties.  Let me know if you have questions though and I will do my best to answer them!

Waateva is the master of Civ with ~1700 hours lol. We're going on our third week now for just this one match, hard to get everybody on at once.

Part of me misses the "OG" vanilla Civ V where you could actually win with a culture victory.  :P

But yeah no doubt Waateva is the GH master from what I've seen, everything he said is spot on from my not-as-experienced perspective.  :thumb:

1700 with a couple hundred AFK hours thrown in, but yes, I've played a little Civ  :p

Multiplayer is still kind of a mess so many years after release but even with the issues connecting and loading for multiplayer and also trying to arrange times that work with everyone's schedule, it's still a good time!  Our game going on right now is one of the fastest games I've played on multiplayer and it's still gonna span probably 8-10 hours, but the longest I've stayed in for a multiplayer game was 28 hours over a couple months before someone won so 8-10 isn't too bad.

Hoffman, Steezus and I played Saturday and actually completed a game in about 5-7 hours.

Hoff won.

I noticed if you just get a little ahead you can keep that lead pretty easily.

I just don't know how to catch up other than war. However that makes the game soooooo freaking long for everyone.

Yeah I always played the game to win by domination, it's fun but lengthy. I had all my nukes in range of Hoff's capital, I should've just taken him out and take the crown for myself. :p

You can get through them a little faster if everyone can stay the whole game, but I've only played maybe one game that happened.

For catching up, sometimes other Civs just steamroll and you can't stop them.  Just steal techs with spies and focus on teching and building all the science buildings, that'll catch you up if it's possible.

I saw your nukes and wasn't necessarily "prepared", but was ready to prepare quickly for such an event.  :P  Not saying you wouldn't have managed to sneak ahead, but it wouldn't have been quite the surprise attack you were hoping for.  ;)

1700 with a couple hundred AFK hours thrown in, but yes, I've played a little Civ  :p

Multiplayer is still kind of a mess so many years after release but even with the issues connecting and loading for multiplayer and also trying to arrange times that work with everyone's schedule, it's still a good time!  Our game going on right now is one of the fastest games I've played on multiplayer and it's still gonna span probably 8-10 hours, but the longest I've stayed in for a multiplayer game was 28 hours over a couple months before someone won so 8-10 isn't too bad.
Hoffman, Steezus and I played Saturday and actually completed a game in about 5-7 hours.

Hoff won.

I noticed if you just get a little ahead you can keep that lead pretty easily.

I just don't know how to catch up other than war. However that makes the game soooooo freaking long for everyone.

The struggle.

Yeah I always played the game to win by domination, it's fun but lengthy. I had all my nukes in range of Hoff's capital, I should've just taken him out and take the crown for myself. :p

I saw your nukes and wasn't necessarily "prepared", but was ready to prepare quickly for such an event.  :P  Not saying you wouldn't have managed to sneak ahead, but it wouldn't have been quite the surprise attack you were hoping for.  ;)

Haha I think I was the only one with uranium, should've taken you all out. :p

I had 7 uranium. I just decided not to waste the time because thought we were not fighting!! :)

I wanted a little action so that's why I started attacking the Polish. :p
