Welcome to this game of Civilization V Gods and kings. Mostly because I don't have Brave new world. So I will be let's playing this game instead.

But this won't just be my game. You'll have control over what I produce, what polices I take. You even determine the make up of the world. You have become gods, and I your humble high priest. Trying to stay afloat in a sea of troubles.

A few notes

I will be playing on Prince difficulty. Any higher and I'm not sure I'll be able to win (I haven’t played all that much)

This game will start in Ancient era, so that we may guide the civilization from it's humble beginnings to wherever it may lead.

The game pace will be standard.

Resources will be standard.

Then we have a bunch of options to further edit the map.

For additional game options, I only put on Policy saving. If people really want me to select an additional game option. I'll do so, but otherwise standard all the way.

Won't work. You have to go up the tech tree quite a bit before you get the ability to cross oceans. Or even enter water at all with a land unit, actually.

Unless, of course, you start from later than ancient times, I guess...


Edit: Dammit, didn't do my research on Polynesian special ability before posting this.

That's why you do it with Polynesia. But the one time I did that, you end up so handicapped on tech that it's difficult to catch up.

The way to make it reasonable is to settle on the original continent, go liberty settler rush, and the colonize the new world. But that's significantly less fun.

As interesting as that sounds for a Dark sun/Civilization remix. I would first need to know how to do that.

[IncoherentEssay]

On Steam go Library -> Tools -> Sid Meier's Civilization V SDK (install and run) -> WorldBuilder -> New Map (gives you all the normal ingame map generation options) -> generate, then manually paint the map desert.
This removes features that couldn't normally exist on desert tiles (forest, jungle, some natural wonders, etc.) and you have to paint around the lakes, but flood plains, oasises, hills, mountains and all the resources stay even when painted over (and would need to be removed with the Edit Plot option if dune-bananas are unacceptable :smalltongue:)
Once done and saved, it appears in the maptype list in Advanced setup.

[Luzahn]

Wouldn't you immediately know the appearance of the map, then? That seems like it would ruin the fun of it.

Would it be possible for another player to do that, and send me the map file?

Not if someone else does it, though right now seas of sand seems like an idea for a future let's play.

On that note, do any of the civs make for a good House Atreides expy?

I'm liking the idea of having a desert map, personally. Provided we do plenty of interesting mountain ranges.

So Temperature Hot, and Rainfall amounts, Arid?

As for mountains, I can go for Ranges and Dense.

1 - Songhai
2 - Random
3 - Large
4 - Terra/Continents
5 - The Desert idea sounds cool. If you do go Songhai, take the "River Warlord" literally and settle/conquer all the river lands!!

[IncoherentEssay]

Would it be possible for another player to do that, and send me the map file?

Yes, though i'm not sure if the map generation checks for DLC owned when placing natural wonders so they might need to check to make sure no BNW natural wonders sneaked in.
Another thing to keep in mind is that re-randomizing the resources on an all-desert map results in 0 horses/coal (and general sparseness, but that's a feature), so silly resource spawns would need to be left in or removed individually (personally, i'd leave them in and refluff them appropriately bizarrely).
Lastly, the only flood plains would be the originally generated ones as they don't autospawn around desert+rivers, so generating the base map with Hot + Arid is advisable.
Luckily the game is smart enough to pick random yet viable starting positions so there is no need to manually place those.
I'm pretty sure the SDK is available even to those who don't have the game, pretty much anyone could make the map and upload it on the steam workshop or the like.


Wouldn't you immediately know the appearance of the map, then? That seems like it would ruin the fun of it.
A larger map in full view is zoomed out to the point of not really spoiling anything unless one actively tries to memorize (or has photographic memory i guess) instead of simply painting over anything not clear blue (this is why you generate with Small Lakes, seas could result in beached whales due to the default large icons obscuring the blue).
Another option is simply sacrificing the lakes by sweeping the map with the colossal brush size. Takes about 3 seconds so the map info would amount to 'plenty of sand'.

Edit: I made a couple of Sea of Sand maps using [Highlands/Large/Ranges/Dense/Hot/Arid/Small Lakes/Standard resources] as the generating base. Two maps with a Weird World (resources left as generated) and Barren (Scatter Resources function, so only sparse amounts of desert-native resources and no horses/coal) versions of both. Should work without BNW.
Steam Workshop decided to be uncooperative, so any ideas where to upload?

Edit. Terra lacks a lot of options for customization. So it'll be Highlands.

[Hydranova]

Ha! It seems our invisible adversaries think that they have the upper hand on us. Little do they know that the desert is poetically an ocean!

[Mx.Silver]

Polynesia in Highlands.

Good luck.

.... Darkness.... and green..... Is this a dream? I.... My name is Simon.... Where... Where's my family?

I started as the Polynesian nation. My unique special ability is that my units all start with the ability to move over any water tile. (Other civilizations need early game tech to move over some water, and mid game tech to move over all water.), my units get additional sight while over water, and gain 10% combat strength if near a Moai (A unique tile improvement I have access to).

I have the Maori warrior unique unit. Which is like the standard warrior unit, but enemies nearby take a combat penalty.

I have the Moai unique tile improvement. Which can be built after researching construction. Moai's give culture bonuses which stack for multiple Moai's in a row. After I research flight (A late game tech), they each give a 1 gold bonus.

I woke up suddenly in some tent with a woman rushing into the it.
My name is Lady Priscilla, High Priest Ryan. She said as she bowed. Or Curtsied I could never remember which was which.
What?
I am the commander of the Polynesian....
What in the abyss is the Polynesian?
The Polynesian are a proud nation of hard workers....
Yeah, yeah... Why don't we go over this slowly.

Lady Priscilla gave me several maps detailing the surrounding areas. She suggested I give a long thought about where to place our people to start our Civilization.

She showed her architectural charts, and said my job was to divine the will of the gods. But I'm just a kid. What do I know about the affairs of state?


Food is used to determine city growth. Each city level, is a citizen that is working on a tile producing resources for the civilization. Each citizen costs 2 food units. Every turn any excess food is stored. If your food storage reaches a certain level, the food storage is reduced to zero, the city “levels up” and you get a new citizen. Meanwhile if the city is incapable of producing enough food to support all it's citizens, it will eat into the food storage. If this hits zero, your city “levels down”. Areas by water tend to produce more food.

Production is simple, each city has a list of things you can build. You select one thing at a time. Each unit, building or wonder has a certain amount of hammer cost, Each turn the city's production is subtracted from the hammer cost, and if the cost reaches zero, the unit or building or wonder is built. Hills and Forests tend to produce more production.

Gold is also simple. Each unit and building (but not wonder) has a gold cost. Which is a lot more expensive then their hammer cost. However if you have enough gold, you can simply buy the unit, getting it instantly. Gold can also be traded away to other civilizations. Gold is found by water, and my improving luxury resources

Science is used to make new technology. You choose what you want to research, and each technology has a cost. You pay that cost every turn with the science you produce, and when that hits zero, you get the technology. Science is gained by city levels.

Faith is used to start a religion. Religions gain benefits to you, and to each city that has them. Faith is given by certain buildings.

Culture. Culture is used to buy social policies that give the civilization a certain benefit. We gain a small amount of culture right now, and certain buildings increase it. Each city producing culture, also gains more tiles it the area it can work on.

Happiness makes your civilization grow smoothy. The bigger your civilization is, the more unhappiness you produce. If you unhappiness equals or exceeds your happiness you take penalties. If you have spare happiness, it gets hit into the gold diamond. If the gold diamond’s first number ever hits the second number, we gain a golden age which gives additional benefits.

She also stated that once we start settling down, we could begin working on certain things.... But I'm not sure what these things mean.


Workers are a simple unit, they can build a number of improvements for terrain, allowing us to use the terrain we do have more effectively. As we gain more technology, we gain more advantages.

Maori warrior is our current basic infantry. It fights our opponents can be used to look around our starting area.

Scouts are weaker then Maori warriors, but have a easier time moving over harsh terrain.

The monument is a building that increases our culture per turn, in this city.

We can't start building a Settler until our city hits level 2

And she told me these were the things people could study.


So I think I will update in ten turn spurts.

So where should I place my city?, and what should I call it?

What should I use as my build order?

What should my research order be?

[Hydranova]

Citywise? Well, I prefer Big, Giant Blobs, but I'd look for somewhere hilly (or coastal). I can't think of a good name, alas.

Build Order? I think a monument would be good.

Research order, I for one think we should rush the Great Library.

On a side notice, I see that you're next to three hills. I believe this calls for some manual labor via citizen management. After all, who needs food when you have hammers?

[ObadiahtheSlim]

Always scout first for build order. Finding a +1 pop or culture ruin will put you ahead compared to a monument first. And you'll meet more CSs for that free gold or faith.

Now the question is, are we going wide or are we going tall? Wide: i'd say scout monument shrine. Tall: I'd say scout shrine scout and take the free monument from tradition.

[Gnomes2169]

Leave your city there, call it "Derptastic" (It's going to be soooooo optimized because of committee... )

Monument first, then a scout.

Get Pottery first, then go for writing.

[Omeganaut]

I'd say build wide. Explore a lot and look for good city sites so you are ready to get settlers settled as soon as possible.

Scout first, then monument.

I would lean towards pottery and then mining, but that's just me.

[Illven]

So the accumulated wisdom of the forum.

Settle where we are. Name city Derptastic

Build Scout first, then monument.

Go pottery, then writing.

Let's get started.

Lady Priscilla and I talked. And decided to set the people down, just where we were. We named this settlement Derptastic. I had a flash of inspiration and asked for the people's attention to be focused on building a scouting regiment, and on something to hold things with.

The next day. Lady Priscilla came to me, with sliver streaks in her hair. She was sixty, and I had slept for forty years. She mentioned that working on the things I asked of her, was proving difficult. Food still took up the majority of my citizens lives.

Another day for me, another forty years for my people. I hope I haven't been absent from my family for this long. Lady Priscilla was remarkably still alive. A one-hundred year old woman. It a land without pots. She knew the end was coming soon, and welcomed it. Or at least was okay with it. We spent a long day just talking. Like two old friends, even though I had only known her for two days.

Lady Priscilla died during my long sleep. I wish she had lived long enough for me to attend her funeral. But she's been dead and buried for over a decade. A new woman, Lady Priscilla the second woke me this morning. She mentioned she had been informed about me before the Late Lady Priscilla's the first's death. She mentioned that the group's hunters had found an ancient ruin from a forgotten time. They were actually exploring the ruins that day. She expected a report later today.

Even more people to rule over, I suppose. Lady Priscilla the Second mentioned how that meant my orders would go through faster. I just marveled at how it had been over a hundred years and they hadn't built pots, or gotten enough people for a scouting troop.

Lady Priscilla the second was getting old also. It was a shame. Only connecting with these people once or twice over their long lives, while I barely age a day. What has happened to my body, that it stops aging, and sleeps for so long?

The hunters sent back a excited note. They found a beautiful rock that jutted out of Mother Earth's skin covered in blood. At least that what Lady Priscilla the second paraphrased. Hmm. In another world she could have been a poet.

Today, was a somber day, Lady Priscilla the second died this morning. She who had who had ruled over the most prosperous time of the Polynesian people had died. Lady Priscilla the Third, hadn't taken any oaths or made any speeches yet. But everyone looked to her as leader.

Today, was just full of surprises. Now the hunting troop had found more ruins, and in those ruins. Material wealth. While this was a much more happy surprise then Lady Priscilla the Second's death, Lady Priscilla the Third literally jumped with glee.

I questioned Lady Priscilla the third today. It had been over 200 years. When were the people finally going to figure out basic pottery. It's not that hard. And about that scouting troop I kept asking for. I admit I chewed her out, a bit more then may have been her fault. But still. For something so simple a concept. It had taken 200 years, and they aren't done yet...

Well Lady Priscilla the third had some good news today. Our people had finally managed to clobber together a scouting troop. Lady Priscilla the third looked so old. It was frightening to think a week for me, was almost three hundred years for them. I told Lady Priscilla the third to start building a monument to Lady Priscilla the First, to inspire people.

Another night, another death. Lady Priscilla the Third also died. I found out this morning by Lady Priscilla the Fourth. She told me that the scouting troop had been sent to the lands Northwest, and returned with some info of the surrounding area. Every day for me the maps grew larger.

Lady Priscilla the Fourth finally came to me and mentioned that my people had finally invented pottery. I jumped for joy at the prospect of them finally figuring out.

Pottery is a technology that allows for the construction of two buildings. The Granary and the Shrine. The Granary increases food production of the city, allowing to increase in levels faster, the shrine is our first faith building. If we want a religion, we should make this as soon as possible.

I told Lady Priscilla the Fourth to start working on a way to communicate symbols together. I think I let slip writing, but she didn't seem to notice.

Lady Priscilla the Fourth collapsed in front of me today. It's strange how they all live hundred years, and then die. The naming is less strange, many people where I came from would called their son or daughter X junior. Well not common, but I had heard of it.

So a few questions.

1
http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz304/Draka393/2014-02-24_00017_zpse90d4dfe.jpg (http://s838.photobucket.com/user/Draka393/media/2014-02-24_00017_zpse90d4dfe.jpg.html)

Am I literally at the edge of the world? Is Highlands not round?


2 What do you vote on.

a We can build a Settler, Scout, Maori warrior, Worker, Granary, and Shrine. What should we build after the Monument is done?

b What should we research after writing?

c Should we spend gold? Or not. If so, what on?

You have till at least noon on Wednesday EST to vote, possibly longer.

3 Any comments, praise, critique?


A interesting note I'm saying here, if the rest of the world is this hilly, and mountainous, it's going to be difficult to win a conquest victory because it'll be hard to move around.

Second interesting note. I doubt I'm playing with a Celtic civ. If we want religion we can probably go for it.

[Dhavaer]

1: Highlands is not round.
2a: Granary.
2b: Go for Calendar, then marsh clearing (Iron Working, I think), then civil service.
2c: Not yet.

[Svata]

1: No clue.

2a: Granary
2b: Mining
2c: Not right now

[Illven]

then marsh clearing (Iron Working, I think), then civil service.

Masonry allows marsh cleaning. Which requires mining.

[Gnomes2169]

2a. Granary
2b. Calendar and then mining
2c. Nope~

[Hydranova]

2a. Shrine. If we for some reason are able to construct the Great Library before Shrine is finished, abandon all work on that and start work on the Great Library!
2b.Mining.
2c. None

Comments: If we abuse the citizen management system for hammers, we could rush the Great Library and then turn around and beeline for the Hanging Gardens.

We should be able to start the great library before a shrine is made. I need 7 more turns to finish the Monument, and 13 turns to finish writing.

I doubt it'll only take 6 to make the shrine.

So should I drop whatever building I'm working on to make the Great library?

[ObadiahtheSlim]

2 What do you vote on.

a Either Shrine or Granary
b If we still need a lux tech, go for that. Otherwise head for constrution.
c Probably buy a worker if we can't steal one.

[Gnomes2169]

I'm gonna go with, no. Starting/ stopping projects wastes resources, so don't start a new project until your first one is done.

[Hydranova]

Well, we COULD build a shrine and adopt the belief that gives you +1 hammers in cities with 3+ population.

[Gnomes2169]

Heh.

"With our faith in the hammer pros, we shall nail down our victory!"

[Hydranova]

Good thing we have something to show a sign of unity over towards our peons.

And hammers ARE pro. Now, about those social policies...

EDIT: Though we do have those delicious hills. I mean, Polynesia is a durable nation! They'll be willing enough to gather stone from the hills for Wonders, right?

[Illven]

The policies will be picked after we get enough culture to pick them.

[Illven]

So we will be building a Granary and Researching Mining if necessary.

Well, Lady Priscilla the fifth said, apparently our hunters found even more ruins.... I'm starting to wonder if this area was cursed, and that we shouldn't evacuate as soon as possible.

The scouts said they had found a beautiful mountain whose peaks scraped the clouds. I wondered what was so special about this mountain. We were pretty much surrounded by them. But my people were happy.

Our scouts managed to find another ruin.... It's good for our people in the immediate sense, but I can't help but feel we built over a metaphorical Indian burial ground. Lady Priscilla the fifth had no idea what I meant when I said that. Which was both hilarious and saddening at the same time. She did say, our city had leveled up again.

Lady Priscilla the Seventh stopped talking after I face-palmed. She mentioned more ruins. I told her that I would not be held responsible if skeletons attacked our people. She asked why I thought that would happened. By the gods these people need culture.

Lady Priscilla the seventh said we were at the corner of the world. We had mapped out the western end, and the northern end. She wanted the bowman to scout out to where the walls of our world met, and I agreed with her. She also mentioned that our people had finished with their monument. I told her to tell the people to build buildings to store food for in times of famine. So that they may devote more time to intellectual pursuits.

Today, we met the first humans that were not our people. The city state of Warsaw, they called themselves. They said that we were the first other people for them also. We traded some initial wares, and returned home with a nice amount of gold.

Warsaw was a peaceful neighbor. Lady Priscilla the eighth said that people were talking to start about the future. They seemed to be in three separate camps. One camp wanted to stay to the old ways as much as possible. Tradition they called themselves, another Liberty, wanted to spread far and wide. The last honor, wanted a warrior's culture.

So voting time.

1 Anything we should buy?

2 Research. Mining wasn't needed. So vote again, mining of course being an option. Depending on how the votes go, we will need two technologies.

3 What social policy should I pick? Liberty, Tradition, or Honor?

4 Should I switch focus to production, some other resource, or keep the general setting?

5 Why did Anna see fit to give me sailing on the Desert world?

[Dhavaer]

1. No.
2. Mining and Masonry.
3. Tradition
4. General
5. Spite.

[Closet_Skeleton]

If that border is technically water can we Moai around the whole world?

Anyway, Mount Kalish means you want a settler rather than a Shrine.

[Hydranova]

1. No
2. After we finish Writing, Mining.
3. Liberty. We can use that for free workers that appear out of nowhere.
4.I'd say focus on production.
5. Spite sounds like the best answer, really.

[Svata]

1. Nope.
2. Still saying mining.
3. Liking Liberty.
4. Production focus here as well.
5. Yep. Spite.

[IncoherentEssay]

If that border is technically water can we Moai around the whole world?
Unfortunately, no can do. Moais require a coastal tile and in order to be considered coastal a tile needs to border a continous group of 10+ water tiles. Which doesn't happen on Small Lakes, ever (max lake size tends to be 6-7). So Moai are basically dead for this map.

---

2.Animal Husbandry, dry highlands tends to have lots of sheep and knowing where horses are would help us settle our cities better. Then Mining.
3.Liberty
6?. settle a city next to Uluru as our shrine-substitute. It's easier for a fledgling city to work than Kailash.

[Illven]

So let me see if I get this straight.

My special ability is practically useless.

My special terrain is useless

My special unit is a ancient era thing, that will be swiftly useless.

..... Fun. :smallsigh:

[IncoherentEssay]

Yep, you are playing the most vanilla game of CiV possible.

Perhaps a vote to restart with Large Lakes, otherwise indentical? That would result in a few small-ish seas, allowing you to build moai.

Nah. The Polynesian people are a proud people that will persevere this metaphorical storm. Tho they would much prefer a literal storm.

[Gnomes2169]

1. Lolno
2. Definitely mining
3. I'll go with liberty, since you have quite some way to expand
4. Production
5. Your tears are delicious.

[ObadiahtheSlim]

1.) Wait till you can buy a worker.
2.) Research lux techs next. I think for us that would be calander. Need to start working on happiness.
3.) Liberty or Tradition. Are we going wide or tall? Culture win favors tall. So we'll want tradition and go with 4 cities.

I'm fine as long as My Many Heads get one feast day per head.

[Gnomes2169]

We're going for a culture win? :smallconfused:

But I wanted to nuke my enemies.... :smalltongue:

Hmmm... Thinking about positioning and the type of map, we could go for either a culture or military victory rather easily. After all, being in a corner surrounded by mountains helps with turtling up and it gives us rather good advantage as far as waging a war is concerned. Or it gives us the ability to sit back and develop culture while not worrying too much about enemies until late game (... when nukes and planes become a thing). So whichever one you want to go with, Illven.

[Svata]

Crushing all opposition with GDRs is always fun.

[Omeganaut]

1. nothing right now
2. mining and masonry
3. liberty
4. expand. For realz. Fill up that basin created by the mountains, by holding the chokepoints you will be invincible!
5. for sailing the high sands.

[Illven]

So voting finishing

Question 2. 5 Mining, 2 Animal husbandry. So mining, and then Animal husbandry.

Question 3. 5 Liberty social policy

Question 4 3 Production switch.

Question 1. Should we re-order Derptastic to change focus, go back to general, or keep production focus.

Question 2. What should we research when we're done with Animal husbandry. If we pick Archery, we may get the top two choices.

Question 3 What policy do we pick?

Question 4. Now that I have enough for a worker. Should I buy one? Should I buy something else? Should I save my gold?

Also info question. If the ruin gives me a settler or Worker, will it stay in the same square as my warrior, or will it spawn in Derptastic.

[Dhavaer]

1. General
2. Masonry then Calendar
3. Free worker
4. Save your gold.
Info: It will spawn in the ruin.
Also, could you turn on the resource icons? It's hard to see what's available.

[Illven]

1. General
2. Masonry then Calendar

How do I do that?

[Dhavaer]

Next to the minimap there's a button 'Toggle Map Option Menu On/Off'. Click that and it will bring up a menu, select 'Resource Icons'.

So if hypothetically, someone had gotten enough faith to make a Pantheon. What hypothetical belief, should they hypothetically pick.

And if hypothetical Pantheon's have names, you can hypothetically name it also.

Lady Priscilla the thirteenth came by today and said my support of citizenship and lead to a creation of a work force that would improve the lands in our city. She continued that our people had finished the granary, and that they were looking for another project. I told her to focus on making a large building to hold books. She also said that we had found more ruins. I was less worried, as it had been a few days since our last encounter with ruins,

So questions.

1 What do I spend the free tech from the great library on, (Assuming I get it of course)?

2 What do I research normally?

3 What do I build after the library is complete?

4 Should I switch focus, or stay on production?

You have 24 hours to vote.

In case you don't have wheel from naturally researching it/aren't one turn away, that's what you should use it on.

[ObadiahtheSlim]

Why would you waste GL for such a low level tech? I can't think of any reason to waste GL on an ancient tech. You always want to use it on a good classical tech. Get something like Constuction, or Philosophy that offer huge returns. Composite Bows or National College/Oracle are much better than anything found in the Wheel.

[Illven]

Voting is over. Let's see how we do.

1 Drama and poetry,
2 Wheel
3 Shrine
4 Production

3. Mathematics.

4. No.

5. Settler.

Yay! We're beating Germany score wise!.... I hope Germany didn't hear that....

So voting time.

1 Should we only trade away the spare truffles, or the truffles, and gems?

2 What should we research?

3 What should Derptastic build?

4 What should Aperture science build?

5 Should I buy anything?

6 What should Derptastic and Aperture science focus on?

[Dhavaer]

1. Spare truffles
2. Mathematics
3. Keep going with Temple, Amphitheatre if it finishes.
4. Keep going with Library, Walls if it finishes.
5. No
6. General

[Svata]

1. Just the truffles.
2. Math
3. Temple, then Ampitheatre, if both finish, Colosseum.
4. Library, then walls
5. No
6. Stay general till sufficient happiness, then hammers, hammers, hammers all the way down. For Derptastic, anyway. Replace the hammers with science in ApertureScience. If we ever make another science focus city, it should totally be called Black Mesa.

[Gnomes2169]

1. Kill dem truffles with prejudice... I mean sell them o_o
2. Mathematics.
3. Finish the temple, then snag an ampitheater. If you've got time after that, the blood sports need a home (colloseum)
4. Finish the library since you're doing it, but we need walls
5. No
6. General and SCIENCE, respectively.

[Illven]

Okay voting is up.

1 Only sell the spare truffles

Complicated bonus question.

Some of the observant people may notice we're hemorrhaging money faster then a hemophiliac thrown through a windshield. We have several options to fix this.

b. Sell some buildings in Derptastic. If so which ones.

c. Sell the horses for GPT.

d. Tear up our road network.

[Dhavaer]

3. After the Oracle, a National College
4. Market
