I recently voted against my own proposal to ban copper. The Zulus held a shitload of copper mines, so I wanted to weaken them. Then by the time the world congress actually swung around, I had already captured them all.
Not me, unfortunately. While I understand the benefits of city-states, I usually only work to be ally's with a couple of them. Too often, doing quests for them can be overly burdensome when I'm trying to lead my own empire. That said, I do typically go for patronage and that first branch that puts the resting location at +25%
zthompson2350 Yeah, i also find that doing missiosns for all the city states can be a little hard, so i basically do the same you say, and when i am stupidly rich, i just give them money :p
Yeah, my main thing is just being Montezuma and using autocracy to fear my way into their hearts, becoming allies with like 30 city states without having to do quests. I'm pretty sure that is how most people do it anyways.
LagiNaLangAko23 They can, but it gives less money usually, no science, and spreads no religions. They can also follow up with an "Embargo all city states"
My strat with venice is literally to buy all the city states on the map. And I can do it too because I have insane gold production strats. That way, I control the WC with a stranglehold and can outvote anyone, even if they all gang up on me.

I actually won on Immortal that way. With Venice, to be honest, so that made it easy! But yeah, Diplomacy is probably the easiest way to win in Civilization V, especcially since allied City-States give you a lot of bonuses that sometimes can be hard to come by otherwise, like Happiness or Military.
"I thought it was candy, but it is pigs!" I thought the same thing when I played Civ 5! I seriously could not understand the picture of truffles. You think your entire life that it is candy (Chocolate Truffles) and all of a sudden see a pig eating something off the ground as representing "truffles". Very confusing, I thought maybe the pig was eating candy off the ground, but that made no sense.
Pedro Rodriguez Pigs are used to find truffles. They have a much better sense of smell than dogs, and are also more dedicated when trained properly. Nonetheless, the image for truffles is highly confusing, even if you have this prior knowledge.
Truffles are actually a kind of fungus that grows in the wild. Pigs love truffles and can root them out, so the "truffles" luxury is just a forest where pigs have managed to sniff some out.
I would never have an ill word for Sweden; it's a beautiful country, with great people. But somehow, throughout my years of playing Civ 5, Gustavus Adolphus became my archnemesis; he just constantly ended up in my games, always as a close neighbor I ended up warring or just conflicting with. Love the Sabaton songs about him, though.
I had a game once where I was the only Freedom civilization in a world of Order civilizations Through spies and city states, I dominated the world congress every time and placed enough pressure on the other nations to overthrow Order and start a cold war. That was one of my favorite games so far.
***** :D I really like the civ skits, there absolutely perfect, and I hope it becomes a series. like you guys get beyond earth, and follow russia into space.
"I propose that we repeal the ban on truffles - the last thing Suleiman didn't like". "I thought it was candy, but it was pigs!" "It's not either of those things". Some of the writing in these sketches is totally brilliant, and the performances are pretty good too, especially Enrico and Suleiman.
Very solid performance, once again! Can't wait until you get to start playing with all the Civ VI leaders. Monty: Give your chocolate, or I will tear your heart out on the altar of...

I think it would have been even funnier if you topped it of as Venice owning Forbidden Palace the wonder that adds 2 votes as well, so even after city state embargo he still has 3/7 votes and only needs 1 vote from someone else to be made world leader - lol.
"I will attack you for no reason at all if i have a bigger army than you and no matter if i have every reason in the game to hate you i won't attack you because you have a bigger army!" Every Civ 5 AI ever.
It's one of ours too. The best part - that was actually him messing up. When he asks "what is it," he was asking the director. But it was so funny we used it instead of the original line.
After finally playing Civ V after years of just watching other people play, I finally understand what everyone’s talking about...The pain is too much to bear.
The guy playing Suleiman is the most accurate representation of a civilization AI I've ever seen.

Couldn't they just have just shown us a picture of the actual mushrooms lol
I guess, but truffles don't have very defining features + they're underground.
Embargo won't break his alliances, also - he can vote against embargoing them anyway, he always wins.
He would lose most/all of his money though. I imagine that he won't be able to get enough trade routes to the others as they would declare war on him.
the point is the vote would never pass in the first place

I've never eaten crabs so Suleiman might as well have my vote.
They're pretty delicious. Better try one before Suleiman has his way.
I would have, if not for certain relatives.
I'm allergic to crabs so I'd vote to ban them.
They taste better when they are illegal.
