Civilization 6 Stories & Highlights

Wed Oct 26, 2016 9:04 pm

In my first solo game:
  • I forward settled Egypt so hard that I was closer to their capital than I was my own.
    • Egypt had a settler of their own one-turn away from settling the spot I took
  • I waged war on Egypt to gain access to 4-5 luxuries that they had and in doing so had to fight Amsterdam too. When the war was over Amsterdam's units became permanently stuck behind my borders.
  • In the end-game I was sweeping through cities with Redcoats supported by planes and battleships.
    • Meanwhile my Civ's culture still hadn't gotten through the medieval era
    Spoiler: show

  • Recruited a Great Scientist. Accidentally walked him right into a barbarian camp without support. Barbarians ignored him and the Great Scientist cleared the camp like a boss.
  • Much to Sarge's horror in the end-game I also started sending artists, writers, and musicians to fight barbarians (or in one case, summarily retiring/executing one of them)

In an islands game with Sarge (participating via Stream):
  • We were settled on a tiny island that could barely support 3 cities.
  • Everybody else was on a single giant continent. "Islands map" my pineapple..

In a fractals game with Sarge (participating via Stream):
  • Ghandi was on a desert peninsula. We forward-settled the land that connected it to the continent, dooming Ghandi to a life of irrelevance.
  • After letting Ghandi flounder around for a few centuries we decided to eliminate him.

I've completed two games now. Both of them have been cultural victories. Right now, it seems like culture is the easiest victory to go for, as it tends to snowball on itself. You get theater districts up and that gets you buildings and points to great writers after amphitheaters, which then makes you build another amphitheater somewhere else for the next writer, and since the district is up, you may as well build an art or architecture museum. It's the most peaceful victory type in the game, since it's all internal generation to compete for great people.

Also, I told a story in the shoutbox of the multiplayer game DuckE and I started with a friend of his who aggressively spread a religion to my empire against my warnings not to do so, and then was mad that I brought the might of Rome down upon their Egyptian empire.

The first game I won was cultural, I completed my second yesterday as Greece which was a Domination victory. Overall I have preferred winning by culture so far/going for that condition rather than any of the others, but I may try a Religious route next.

I was playing England when I got my culture victory which was super easy considering how many extra slots you get in an archaeological museum but as you said, I do much prefer how the thing you start competing for is great people so I find myself checking that window a lot and basically deciding when to use faith to snatch a person from another.
