Free technology from ruins? Lots of City State neighbours? No tough civs anywhere nearby? Loads of space to expand into, uncontested? Yep, Marb is going to absolutely WALK this game! :D
Had a bad day at work. I get home, check Marb's site, and lo and behold! A new Civ 5 LP is waiting for me! Now every thing is peaches and cream! Thanks Marb. :-)))
+Marbozir Ea mab just wondering if for a future sires could you play as ( Lenin of The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics ) the mod creator is JFD on the steam workshop
God King would probably be worth it, it's the maximum amount of yield you can get with the pantheons left over, and considering the strong faith pantheons are gone and Ethiopia, Venice, and India are in the game (who all tend to prioritize faith) you more likely than not won't get a religion. Might as well pick the best early game pantheon while it lasts.
krison0225 That's only one happiness per city though (so.. two total?), it's kind of crappy, especially considering every city location seems to have two new unique luxuries nearby.
+clickaccept Based on how many Pantheons are gone, he will probably be better off accepting the religion of an AI, and on diety that could give him a free Reformation Belief
+fishleaf18 Good point. Religion is often second-rate if you found it yourself, and in this situation there should be some good options for a decent religion. Open borders policy with India or Ethiopia could give some nice benefits.
The Sacred Waters pantheon doesn't seem like a bad idea in this situation, with 3 cities planned to be settled on rivers it can give +3 happiness which is almost as much as a new luxury. It's not the the greatest pantheon ever but considering the limited options it might be worth picking up.
If you get Stone Circles, that's 2 faith. If you get God-King, you'll be exchanging one faith for 1 culture, sience, gold and production. Definitely worth it.
I played the Moors a little while ago, it was pretty fun (I only play on Emperor or Immortal lol). Marb I really think you should do the Rise of the Mongols, Fall of Rome, and Into the Renaissance scenarios; they are combat heavy and you won't need to worry too much about teching in them. I'd really love to see you play these, since you already enjoy combat so much!
Is your body ready for the trolling? -Playing as Venice -Neighbor is Pocatello -Pocatello goes for Liberty -Pocatello forward settles two cities right next to my capital and steals all of my land -No open borders until Civil Service -"Pocatello desires your lands"
Settling right on the cocoa (to the East) would be a decent spot. Calendar lux's suck to work, and you get the happiness right away. That tile is also river/mountain with wheat, cow, marble in range. It's also really easy to defend and would put both paths to Venice inside your borders
I'd probably go for God-King for the early boost. You are surrounded by Gandhi, Venice, Ethiopia and Polynesia, all of whom go crazy about religion, so getting and keeping a religion will be tough anyway. Also, I would probably forward settle toward Gandhi for the 3rd city - on the coast to the west. You would get truffles, fish and another dyes. It's a bit far away but Gandhi is not aggressive and you could back-fill with cities later. The main advantage would be the ability to ship food early to your capital, which will be the only advantage to being on that lake. This will give you a large territory to fill up with cities later. You will probably not have competition for the eastern sites, so you could settle those later.
Interesting start. I don't think this will be very difficult, but you never know ! I'll add my vote on the "all the religions will be gone" side, and say God King, just to reap maximum value. Also I like the plan of forward settling Gandhi with a "coastal" city with truffles, observatory and naval trade route to your capital. And a very storng defensive position to boot. But this pile of resources in the east looks sooo tasty...
I'd settle the third city on the tile east of the cows that gets both the marble and the cocoa. It'd still get the horses, just missing out on the dyes. You have plenty of those anyway...
Marbs, might I suggest Earth Mother (+1 Faith to Salt, Iron and Copper)? You know youre going to get one faith from the Salt in your second city, so you're gambling that you will have some iron around. Its also nice that you don't have to improve the resources to get the faith. I know you don't like gambles, but that one might be worth it once iron is revealed!
Hey Marb you should settle to the east right near Venice on the river. Venice won't be that upset. You'll get two unique luxuries and you might even be able to settle next to the mountain for an observatory
Unless you can guarantee a religion happiness pantheons are pretty much useless since you can normally stay in positive happiness. Even if you can guarantee a religion they're still pretty bad.
+fghnvxdrghnm I would normally agree but since Marb has no super close neighbors who will be spamming him with missionaries the extra happiness is helpful in the beginning for before you can get you luxuries online. You can keep planting cities without worrying about going unhappy. God king is really terrible/ last resort because your capital benefits but none of your other cities.
Maybe going for Dance of the Aurora wouldn't be the worst idea. It gives you a half decent chance at getting a religion, and it's not like you don't have tundra.
I think i comes down to 3 choices for Pantheon: Stone Circles - 2 faith....but, you'll need to wait a while (at least 20-25 turns) before getting it up and going. There are a few stone tiles here and there (plus a Marble near the area you were considering for your 3rd city). Earth Mother - your going to be working a Salt right away with your 2nd city, so this might be worth it. You could luck out and get a few Iron tiles in range of your cities. God-King - It's the worst of the 3, but it will give you a good early boost. Personally, I think I'd go with Earth Mother.
EDIT: You know, settling 1 tile east of the Cow (on the river East of your capital) will let you get the Marble AND the Cocoa (as well as all horses and wheat). If you plan on doing that, maybe Stone Circles would be a better choice.
+Tim Seddon (Binnister) this is pretty much word for word the advice i wanted to give as even without the pantheon problem that city on the tile east of the cow is worth it.
+Tim Seddon (Binnister) As much as I dislike God King, it is not the worst of the three but the best. Going by Your statement, which I do agree with He'd be exteremly lucky to get a religon at this point, Mother Earth offers actually offers less, then God King, because the time to set up the other cities and and to aquire the tile and start a mine, is all time taken away from what God King gives you, then what ever time left prior to Eastern Orthdoxy showing up on his door step and making His Patheon history. 60 turns of God King far out weighs the long term waiting to reap the benifits of the other two.
I'd settle your third city on the grassland tile directly West of the Cocoa between Byblos and Quebec City. Settling there would give you two unique luxuries (Cocoa and Marble) as well as a city on a river that can build Neuschwanstein. You'd get some cattle, 4 horses, and a river grassland wheat tile. You'd also get control of the mountain pass next to Venice, which would make any aggression by them easy to repel unless they buy Quebec. I'm looking forward to see how the Enlightenment Era plays out. Your unique ability might make for some interesting citadel uses where you steal luxuries and get a (I'm assuming generals give science) boost.
So far it is looking pretty favorable, even if it is Deity. At least you don't have to worry about White Walkers this time. This looks like the kind of civilization that can snowball once they can get science and culture going. Great scientists might even things up soon.
The forest patch on the bay north of your capital seems like a strong city location to me. Bison, dyes, cattle, and an oasis all in range of a coastal city.
Hi Marbozir, have you ever considered using the Late Game Range mod? It increases the range of the Gatling Gun line of units by 1 so they have the same 2 base range of the Archer line of units, at the cost of lowering their defensive/melee strength similar to the Archer line of units. It would make those experienced crossbows you get in the early game way more useful later on, because you tend to be quite over-cautious about being in city bombardment range with those guys.
Robin Wick Not worth potentially ruining the game just to hurt a civ that's going to be irrelevant anyway. If you DoW on turn 25 AND sacrifice your scout, you need to have an extremely good reason to do it.
Hey Marbs, decided I would throw out my suggestions. (Long post, sorry.) In terms of your pantheon, God-King or God of Craftsman wouldn't be terrible choices, because with Ethiopia, Venice, and India, getting a religion is highly unlikely. Those two would give an instant benefit, and would have been useful while it lasted as opposed to a pantheon that gives faith, that would later be pretty much useless, unless you get someones religion that gives something such as pagodas or mosques. Stone circles wouldn't be terrible useless with your second city, and if you get the marble tile near Venice. Personally, I would take Dance of the Aurora. This will help speed up your religion, since you have lots of tundra near Cordoba. Also, the third city spot you said would have tundra as well. In terms of war, I suggest keeping Venice as a trading partner. You don't really need to worry about them backstabbing you, and if you get down the third city you mentioned it would be a fairly safe trade route. I would take out India first, as they are your closest neighbor. Not a good idea to leave them for the late game anyways, unless you want nukes to fly! Cheers!
The third city should be somewhere on the coast of this ocean, just for the food traderoute. to ur captital. For that pantheon: If u skip religion for now u can go with something like faster border growth. It might safe u a bit of money. Will u get ur gildes in a different city than ur capital? Just for that salon/academy thing?
I would pick sacred waters as you said your first 3 cities would be cities on a river which would give you 3 happiness which is basically almost another unique luxury?
Free faith from specialists, specialists increase building construction, mounted archers that don't require horses. If you lose this game I'll be very disappoint Marbozir.
You should try a game on like small continents using JFD's Tojo's Japan. You get like 2 turns of science per ocean or costal tile when capturing cities and it has a battleship replacement uu that has bonus damage vs cities and can hold aircraft. SO OP BY MODERN ERA
Based on the pantheon choices available I'd suggest God King. You're unlikely to get a religion now with the number of pantheons already gone, and with very little in Faith generating pantheons. You might as well take advantage of the extra science, culture, and gold from God King. (I agree that % growth would be better, but an AI scooped it first).
No White Walkers? I guess Pangea would be awful trying to fight both White Walkers and Deity civs... Pangea means larger land armies for all of them, and more civs that can access you.
I really hope you won't go for +2 faith over +1 faith, +1 culture, +1 science, +1 gold, and +1 production. Seriously, the math would drive me crazy. We shall see in the next episode! :D
+Romaoplays BR Here's the interesting Civ 5 mechanic: At the beginning of your turn, your food is first calculated, then production, gold etc. This means that if you have enough food for a citizen it automatically gets assigned based on your city focus. Now all of your production, gold, science, etc gets calculated in turn. If your focus is default or food, your new citizen won't gain any food for you because food was already calculated before he was "born". If you instead set to production or other focuses, this new citizen will earn you some "extra" production or gold. While it's not a lot of production, generally 1 or 2 per citizen, over the course of the game this could save you a few turns.
+Romaoplays BR classic trick as described. It's universally accepted as fine to use and not cheesy. Most players avoid farming XP from city states to level up your early units however (similar early game exploit.)
The only thing I would say is OP about this unit is that if you mange to upgrade a scout to archer, you're gonna have a ranged cavalry unit with the ability to to go through any terrain, making the Keshik's five movement seem underwhelming
If I were you, I wouldve been very tempted to kill that Venician Merchant at around 8:00. Venice isn't usually too strong, but why give them the oppurtunity to get strong, right?
Take Dance of the Aurora and put one of your cities over by India. Also, what happened to Venice's merchant? You discovered it with your original scout but then he never bought a CS.
Hey, I'm really sorry but I'm having a lot of trouble remembering a mod. I play with many mods, but what is the one that provides all the info, NOT infoaddict, but when you hover over a city and it shows your worked tiles....etc. Please help. Been looking and I'm having trouble. I lost my hardrive and had to reload the game and lost the mod. Anyone, help please.
Hey guys, I just started using mods in my game of CiV, and started using EUI, and I was hoping that someone might know how to get the diplomacy screen to look like how they normally do when you talk to another leader. As of right now the buttons are all in the wrong place and I almost accidentally declared war on someone more than once. Also I'd also like to know how to bring up the advisers screen again, I actually use that thing. Thanks!
+AlphaSierraHotel117 Hotkey for advisers is V and I think it's the newest update of EUI that causes that button thing. You should try downloading an older version if possible.
The game trolled you hard on your capitol location with the "coastal" location. Useless water and desert for the most part. You have so few decent tiles and little production :(
Well... didn't worked. My old mods are working fines but any new mod that I try to subscribe just doesn't show. I think that it doesn't download. @edit Ok... I instaling it manually copying from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\61181225\ugc eferenced to C:\Users\André\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS I'm copying the past with numbers or the name of the mod.
+Marbozir Hi. I have a problem with enlightenment era mod. When I start the game, the game automatically starts from enlightenment era although the game set up to ancient era. Can you help me Marbozir? Thanks for helping.
I'm guessing with Venice,Ethiopia, and India all as neighbors, that your pantheon won't matter too much in the long run, because they are all religion happy civs and will probably spread their religion to you regardless if you actually get a change to found your own.
Even taking a spite pantheon doesn't seem useful here (I've taken Desert Folklore before without any desert tiles, just to keep the AI from having it, and it's gone). Also since both pagodas and mosques are taken as follower beliefs, I would definitely just let the AI spread their religion to you at this point. Considering your neighbors are Ethiopia and India, it's going to happen anyway. Dance of the Aurora would temporarily make the deer tundra tiles better, I guess... but as much as I hate God King, you will almost surely only have your pantheon belief very temporarily.
Is this playthrough political? The Moors were a nomadic people from North Africa; originally they were the inhabitants of Mauretania. They invaded Spain, taking their Islamic religion and culture with them, in 711, where they overran the Visigoths. They spread northward across the Pyrenees into France, but they were turned back by Charles Martel and his Frankish knights in 732.
+Gummans Gubbe And then became productive citizens of the Ibero-Franco region for the next eight centuries until they were unjustly expelled from the region by intolerant, bigoted Europeans.
rough start - I would have rerolled, because there is no great pantheon to start and no good pantheon left, but you do ok with limited early food and production. tundra faith may be ok if there is tundra beneath the dyes, but I prefer stone circles i never liked tithes. it costs 500 gold for a colosseum = 250 gold per 1 happiness, so cities on a river or with 6 pop might be better unless your religion is overrun. but then I've never survived long in deity - unit maintenance is so ridiculous compared to your neighbours. how about god of war ? barbs will give lots of early game faith until your neighbours are close enough to mistake your financial woes for weakness.
I dont really see you using your faith anytime soon and at least God-king would give you +1 faith +1 culture +1 gold +1 prod +1 science instead of just +2 faith for as long as someone spreads their religion to you. I dont see you getting a decent religion yourself with buildings since I saw two of them gone already in that pantheon screen.
I don't like it.. restart right now .. :) its not up tp Marbs civ standard.. was just watching your Hungary game.. this is unacceptable for a player of your caliber... its dragging on already.. play all the civs , domination only huge map, cause I already know how this will end.. :D

God King would probably be worth it, it's the maximum amount of yield you can get with the pantheons left over, and considering the strong faith pantheons are gone and Ethiopia, Venice, and India are in the game (who all tend to prioritize faith) you more likely than not won't get a religion. Might as well pick the best early game pantheon while it lasts.
+Tinker Got to agree, though it is sad (in civ5) to basically give up on religion.
+Tinker i would pick sacred waters cuz he has 2 river cities

Hype! I've been tooling around with the Enlightenment Era mod, it's pretty neat!
Thank you for another great video, Mr Marb! Great entertaining as always! Cant wait for the next! ( Its already taking too long! :D )

Is your body ready for the trolling?
-Playing as Venice
-Neighbor is Pocatello
-Pocatello goes for Liberty
-Pocatello forward settles two cities right next to my capital and steals all of my land
-No open borders until Civil Service

Settling right on the cocoa (to the East) would be a decent spot. Calendar lux's suck to work, and you get the happiness right away. That tile is also river/mountain with wheat, cow, marble in range. It's also really easy to defend and would put both paths to Venice inside your borders
Are you sure they aren't the Moops?
I'd probably go for God-King for the early boost. You are surrounded by Gandhi, Venice, Ethiopia and Polynesia, all of whom go crazy about religion, so getting and keeping a religion will be tough anyway.
Also, I would probably forward settle toward Gandhi for the 3rd city - on the coast to the west. You would get truffles, fish and another dyes. It's a bit far away but Gandhi is not aggressive and you could back-fill with cities later. The main advantage would be the ability to ship food early to your capital, which will be the only advantage to being on that lake. This will give you a large territory to fill up with cities later. You will probably not have competition for the eastern sites, so you could settle those later.
+DocSardo Good advice! Came here to say the same :)

Wooooooo!
I'd settle your third city on the grassland tile directly West of the Cocoa between Byblos and Quebec City. Settling there would give you two unique luxuries (Cocoa and Marble) as well as a city on a river that can build Neuschwanstein. You'd get some cattle, 4 horses, and a river grassland wheat tile. You'd also get control of the mountain pass next to Venice, which would make any aggression by them easy to repel unless they buy Quebec.

You can't capture great people with the exception of prophets.
+Marbozir Could've killed it at least. Would potentially save a city-state.
Robin Wick Not worth potentially ruining the game just to hurt a civ that's going to be irrelevant anyway. If you DoW on turn 25 AND sacrifice your scout, you need to have an extremely good reason to do it.
I count turning a great person into a worker as enslaving them, or capturing them :)
+jamma246 great people don't turn into workers
Sacred waters would be a decent pantheon since you are planning on planting 3-4 river cities that's +4 happiness.
7:50 i would kill that great merchant of venice, really cripples him
Hey Marbs, decided I would throw out my suggestions. (Long post, sorry.)

I particularly feel Prussia would fit better with the mod, but this is a very nice civ too (and also fits, in a way).

settling close to venice for marble and cacao seems nice. i mean whats venice going to do about it?
they are usually very peaceful.
Hey Marbs, will you maybe try the community balance mod (and all the mods with it) once? Keep up the good work!
When i discover venice is in my games, i immediately start over. I hate it that they take over all city states.
god king is clearly the best option
Based on the pantheon choices available I'd suggest God King. You're unlikely to get a religion now with the number of pantheons already gone, and with very little in Faith generating pantheons. You might as well take advantage of the extra science, culture, and gold from God King. (I agree that % growth would be better, but an AI scooped it first).

I really hope you won't go for +2 faith over +1 faith, +1 culture, +1 science, +1 gold, and +1 production. Seriously, the math would drive me crazy. We shall see in the next episode! :D
Marb, why do you always set your cities to production even when you is focusing on food , or even assinging the tiles manualy??
+Romaoplays BR
Here's the interesting Civ 5 mechanic:
At the beginning of your turn, your food is first calculated, then production, gold etc.
This means that if you have enough food for a citizen it automatically gets assigned based on your city focus.
Now all of your production, gold, science, etc gets calculated in turn. If your focus is default or food, your new citizen won't gain any food for you because food was already calculated before he was "born".
If you instead set to production or other focuses, this new citizen will earn you some "extra" production or gold. While it's not a lot of production, generally 1 or 2 per citizen, over the course of the game this could save you a few turns.
+Romaoplays BR BTW. Welcome to civ5 :)
I play immortal!!! :p just did not know about this trick, thank you guys!
+Romaoplays BR classic trick as described. It's universally accepted as fine to use and not cheesy. Most players avoid farming XP from city states to level up your early units however (similar early game exploit.)
so wait, this civ's uu is basically a horselss camel archer, yeah that doesnt seem op at all
Yes and no, Camel Archer has higher attack strength.
21 vs 18 though and machinery is availible earlier then chiverly
+jerseysoxfan Technically they're at the same beaker cost and since you often go education first, chivalry is earlier.
Plus their promotions don't become useless.
The only thing I would say is OP about this unit is that if you mange to upgrade a scout to archer, you're gonna have a ranged cavalry unit with the ability to to go through any terrain, making the Keshik's five movement seem underwhelming

God King is the pantheon that will get you more yields, there is no way you will found a religion on this game.
If I were you, I wouldve been very tempted to kill that Venician Merchant at around 8:00. Venice isn't usually too strong, but why give them the oppurtunity to get strong, right?
Not when it involves losing a scout on turn 25 and ruining a good trading partner that's going to be harmless anyway.
+Marbozir Fair enough. Thanks for the reply dude! Cheers!
I believe the correct spelling for this civ is 'The Moops'
It's a common error.
Isn't "Messenger of the gods" a reasonable choice, with science from city connections?
aww, kinda wanted u to play Tropico, in Civ
Finally a normal game :D
Take Dance of the Aurora and put one of your cities over by India.
Also, what happened to Venice's merchant? You discovered it with your original scout but then he never bought a CS.
Marbs, just wandering: Has ever Venice done something memorable in any Let's Play of yours?? Can't remember myself :P
It did reasonably well in one of the past games... don't remember which one it was though.
Will you do a game with the Community Patch Mod in the near future?
Hype! :D
Why don't you like to steal more than one worker? I always grab like 3 or something like that lol
Go for faith healers, or extra happiness...
Great vid but can someone tell me how to get the Moors? Do they come with a specific mod? And if so which one is it and how do I install it?
A Moor standard game.
Hey, I'm really sorry but I'm having a lot of trouble remembering a mod. I play with many mods, but what is the one that provides all the info, NOT infoaddict, but when you hover over a city and it shows your worked tiles....etc. Please help. Been looking and I'm having trouble. I lost my hardrive and had to reload the game and lost the mod. Anyone, help please.
Stone circles or God King. I would go GK or God of Craftsmen because you probably won't be getting a religion this game.
When i play on your auto saves
The Game Is Different
Why?
When i take a ruin and you get 70 gold but i get a archer and it is the same ruin?
Time victory enabled?
Hey guys, I just started using mods in my game of CiV, and started using EUI, and I was hoping that someone might know how to get the diplomacy screen to look like how they normally do when you talk to another leader. As of right now the buttons are all in the wrong place and I almost accidentally declared war on someone more than once.
Also I'd also like to know how to bring up the advisers screen again, I actually use that thing.
Thanks!
+AlphaSierraHotel117 Hotkey for advisers is V and I think it's the newest update of EUI that causes that button thing. You should try downloading an older version if possible.
+Vili Järvinen Okay, Thanks!
Can city-state found a pantheon?
A moor standard game.... I see what you did there...
OMG this land as almost no production. this will be a big problem later.
The game trolled you hard on your capitol location with the "coastal" location. Useless water and desert for the most part. You have so few decent tiles and little production :(
Why mods are not showing up on My Mods menu?
Try deleting \My Documents\my games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\cache\Civ5ModsDatabase.db and then restart the game.
Well... didn't worked. My old mods are working fines but any new mod that I try to subscribe just doesn't show. I think that it doesn't download.
@edit
Ok... I instaling it manually copying from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\61181225\ugc
eferenced
to
C:\Users\André\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS
I'm copying the past with numbers or the name of the mod.
***** Another method is using steamworkshopdownloader.com/ to download and install the mods manually.
And just put in the MODS folder, right?
+Marbozir Hi. I have a problem with enlightenment era mod. When I start the game, the game automatically starts from enlightenment era although the game set up to ancient era. Can you help me Marbozir? Thanks for helping.
Based on the AIs so far this is going to be pretty easy game, hopefully there is like Russia or Greece not discovered yet :P
I'm guessing with Venice,Ethiopia, and India all as neighbors, that your pantheon won't matter too much in the long run, because they are all religion happy civs and will probably spread their religion to you regardless if you actually get a change to found your own.
Moops!!!
Even taking a spite pantheon doesn't seem useful here (I've taken Desert Folklore before without any desert tiles, just to keep the AI from having it, and it's gone). Also since both pagodas and mosques are taken as follower beliefs, I would definitely just let the AI spread their religion to you at this point. Considering your neighbors are Ethiopia and India, it's going to happen anyway. Dance of the Aurora would temporarily make the deer tundra tiles better, I guess... but as much as I hate God King, you will almost surely only have your pantheon belief very temporarily.
Ok olive this guy's accent I just can't figure out what accent it is. Help?
*i love
+Jeffrey Olson He's polish.
thanks
Crap it's Ghandi! MAKE SURE HE DOESN'T GET THE MANHATTAN PROJECT!
sacred waters because you have space and poor options for religion
yikes, pretty challenging start imo, really low production. very interesting mods tho, this should be a good series.
Is this playthrough political?
The Moors were a nomadic people from North Africa; originally they were the inhabitants of Mauretania. They invaded Spain, taking their Islamic religion and culture with them, in 711, where they overran the Visigoths. They spread northward across the Pyrenees into France, but they were turned back by Charles Martel and his Frankish knights in 732.
+Gummans Gubbe And then became productive citizens of the Ibero-Franco region for the next eight centuries until they were unjustly expelled from the region by intolerant, bigoted Europeans.
+Freenix Yeah, it really isn't a good idea to apply morals and terms like that to history.
rough start - I would have rerolled, because there is no great pantheon to start and no good pantheon left, but you do ok with limited early food and production.
tundra faith may be ok if there is tundra beneath the dyes, but I prefer stone circles
i never liked tithes. it costs 500 gold for a colosseum = 250 gold per 1 happiness, so cities on a river or with 6 pop might be better unless your religion is overrun.
but then I've never survived long in deity - unit maintenance is so ridiculous compared to your neighbours.
how about god of war ? barbs will give lots of early game faith until your neighbours are close enough to mistake your financial woes for weakness.
you should seljug empire they are horse archer and horse archer have got free logistig sory ı cant speak english
I'll attempt to translate, you should play Seljug empire, they have a unique hours archer that has logistics for free.
+Crocea Mors Thank you
Don't really care for moded civs. seems always over buffed
they look like ottoman
I dont really see you using your faith anytime soon and at least God-king would give you +1 faith +1 culture +1 gold +1 prod +1 science instead of just +2 faith for as long as someone spreads their religion to you. I dont see you getting a decent religion yourself with buildings since I saw two of them gone already in that pantheon screen.
LOL You are surrounded by the weakest civs in the game. Domination victory on the cards then :-)
Talk like that gon' get yo cities nuked, son.
+clearspira Well, this is Marbs, so that kind of goes w/o saying...
+donbionicle Shh, Gandhi will hear! :o
+clearspira It'd be pretty funny if it turns out Shaka or Monty or Ashurbanipal show up as the other civ and take over the world of passives!
Alex Adragna Technically there can be two more. I'm hoping for a Shaka+ Khan combo
(Y)
Very bad capital =/
I don't like it.. restart right now .. :) its not up tp Marbs civ standard.. was just watching your Hungary game.. this is unacceptable for a player of your caliber... its dragging on already.. play all the civs , domination only huge map, cause I already know how this will end.. :D
