BS but I loved Civ Rev too.
Consoles are for women
Check the 2K forums buddy, bunch of the top players on the leaderboards, myself included always talked on there. Gamertag is TexasWreckShop
Someone needs to show that vid to Activision and EA, Sid Meier has always been a guy that truly gets it when it comes out the people that buy, and love his games, and the way he is making Civ V with the community so much in mind is refreshing to see during times you're charged $30 for 6 ing maps
anybody here know how to achieve a diplomatic victory? ive tried it on upper difficulties but to no avail.
i always thought a fun strategy was to lower my science, put my tech tree into banking and concentrate on building coastal cities with the extra gold in production. i get wealthy early and then buy out the other techs or trade mine for extra. once i get into democracy i can hurry production on almost anything and pretty much have any victory i could want by then.
All you have to do is build the UN? If someone else is beating you to building the United Nations one thing you can do is have one city that is your mega produce (50+ production) and set it to build something huge like Internet or Manhattan project, as the turns go by your production will build up and when you have the 20 Great people/wonders/converted cities to build the UN you switch the saved up production off to UN and have your win the following turn.
Your strategy works well for single player but online I would easily have a victory by 700 ad against that. Science is the only way to win a game online, you have to rush to irrigation, then to navigation, then monarchy, and invention. Do that, you'll have tanks by 500-700 AD and have the game won.
You're a tool. You attack me in the hip-hop thread for being a nerd, and then come in here and post? really? In a ing thread I started? Hilarious.
es like you make the commercial world go round, and Civ is all the worse for having you as a fan.
Those who don't understand, refer to the hip-hop thread.
Wreckshop!
CivRev or CivIV?
CivRev...I have no idea.
CivIV...
Basically, grab one of the early religions, research Writing (allows open borders) and spread them like wildfire to your neighbors. Every single city needs your religion, because if they pop Code of Laws or Theology, theyre going to convert to that religion (for the $ bonus). If you have them fully converted, theyll stick with you.
Build your relationships with all your neighbors early. Multiple ways to do that. Trading isnt really one of them as its a " -for-tat" deal. Gifting works wonders. Gift them units, great people, older techs, money, resource, etc. Do this with all your neighbors.
In order to do this effectively, you need to be teching quicker than anyone else. It requires a high science slider and nearly all your cities "building" research and science+ buildings (libraries, monasteries, universities, etc).
Teching quicker allows you to a) get to Mass Media before anyone else and b) gift techs that are meaningful to them and meaningless to you. Save and Great Engineers that pop throughout history in anticipation of rush-building the UN. Or, save a lot of money (10k+) and run Universal Sufferage to "buy" it.
If you follow the previous steps, your continental neighbors should love you. Something to the tune of +23 (or more). My highest, non-vassal relationship was +48 (ridiculous game that was). When you build the UN, you should win the election handily. At this point, you might have enough votes with yourself and your 2 neighbors if you are all large enough in population (doubtful).
If not, check your neighbor's relationships with the other civs across the ocean. If you find a common enemy of your neighbors, declare war and invade. Take cities and hold territory. Your neighbors will join when you ask them and this boosts relationships immensely. It also weakens the enemy and gives you a staging point for further incursion. Declare peace ASAP so you can build an immense army to roll out of your newly conquered foothold.
Declare war again, but this time do not take cities (unless of course youre rolling out infantryman and your enemy is defending with longbowman or musketeers...if they are defending with Rifleman, raze the cities, theyre extremely close to matching you). Raze every city you conquer, only keep and defend cities of importance (religious capitals, wonder-heavy, etc). Roll, roll, roll, destroy, destroy, destroy.
When you have your enemy down to one city, vassal him. This is important, end the turn after you vassal. The next turn, offer open borders, a one-time gold sum and one natural resource that confers +happiness. End turn. Then gift your new vassal a tech of any kind. His hate for you should about equal his love for you at this point. His vote is in the bag.
Now when the vote comes up, put the DiploVic to vote. Your two neighbors (who, if they love you enough, will have vassaled to you willingly much earlier) and your new vassal will all vote for you. You win.
Heads up, though, DiploVic is the lamest ending of any of the possible endings. No CG cut-scene, just a picture of you encircled by everyone else. Kind of lame.
I "attacked" you because you're a little that was trying to act like some little thug that he isn't, like I said work on the reading comprehension . It would be different if you weren't in that thread calling people tricksYou're a tool. You attack me in the hip-hop thread for being a nerd, and then come in here and post? really? In a ing thread I started? Hilarious.
es like you make the commercial world go round, and Civ is all the worse for having you as a fan.
Those who don't understand, refer to the hip-hop thread.and other words you probably look like a ing re using when not on the internet, ing poser
"I'm such a badass on the internet I can call people es and tricks, then go post on a Dungeon & Dragons forum!" Like I said, you're nothing but a little in poser making yourself look re ed.
You've more than likely lived in suburban America your whole life, did a google search of "underground rappers" and then started considering yourself some kind of hiphop guru.
I on the other hand grew up in the ghetto and you don't see me on here trying to be some little tough guy and acting like I know better than anyone else. You must be lacking in real life to have to try so hard on the internet to impress people and feel big. Trick

yeah i play casually on single player and ive found diplo to be the hardest victory. i dont like repeating strategies and nations, so its fun to mix it up every now and then. thanks for the tips, ill check it out next time. i play civ IV btw. i was thinking about having vassals for a diplo victory, so thanks for the tips DR. i can tell youre more of an aggressive player
its easy to build the UN. its hard to win the "diplomatic victory" vote.
doesn't look like ill be able to play it on my laptop judging by the graphics. i really liked Civ gold edition. (i think that's what it was called, it's been a while.) that game was addicting as . just my type of game. i love games where you can start from scratch. games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, the Sims, and Civ. are some of the best games i've played.
