Lets play Civ 6 (Expansions included)
Join me, join in a joyous attempt for dominance against our machine overlords. We will be playing Civilization 6, we WILL build a civilization to stand the test of time.
You may consider yourselves my advisors. You give me advice about predicaments, and if I like the advice, I'll listen. If I don't. Well we have ways to deal with treacherous advisors. The way is doing what I want.
We will be playing the Inca on a map that favors them. (New world so higher mountains, and with many fertile resources.)
Why? Cause I'll be doing this on the highest difficulty I've done so far, King (Yes, yes not particularly impressive. )
Without further ado, advisors. Let us begin.
Spoiler: Chapter 1 The verge of history
[Our tale begins in the misty yesteryear of 4000 BC. Before, there was only hunting and gathering, but on the banks of river, underneath the towering mountains did one people find home.
[I've never understood how we know from turn 1 you are on two separate continents. Can an advisor teach me?]
[Oh, getting inspired for a tech or civic, means you get about a third of the cost, for free.]
C'mon, lets move these wagons. We want to get them set up by sunset, Old Darian says he has something to show us. Says he's made plants burst forth from Mother Earth by burying parts of them in the ground.
[Here we see the Inca's first leader, Camilla Skychaser. Stronger, smarter, better then the average human in every way. Blessed by the divine, it is said she has the weight of the world on her shoulders. For her burden is to lead.]
[We move, cause we started on a hill, but I want that hill for a terrace farm later. In addition we move closer to our Citrus luxury, and make it possible to get the mercury luxury in our capital.]
[And so was the Incan capital, The Orange Mountains settled. Some Scholars still say to this day, that there was debate about naming the Capital Orange you glad we didn't banana. Of course most serious scholars believe it's just a kids tale.
C'mon Darian! It'll be hilarious they'll think we only have oranges, and then we'll surprise them with bananas! Darian.... Darian..... Fine we'll go with your stupid name.
An oral tale believed to derived from before 3000 BC.
And thus did old king coal smite the land below, to be as pitch black as the endless night sky. Mother Earth punished for her crimes. To weep red as each day dies.
Even before writing we knew we were not alone in the world. The citizens of Buenos Aries were proof of that, it is said that at proof they were not alone the first warriors of the Inca knelt and wept.
Greetings, as first among equals of the Incans, I am pleased to meet the people of Buenos Aries. May your unique light never leave the world.
[Unique light is right, Buenos Aires ability lets us if we're their suzerain treat our bonus resources as luxuries. For instance, our stone. And our bananas.]
So..... this flat place in the ground shoots out white steam, as opposed to the mountain that shoots out black steam.... So clearly they are equal and opposite powers in our world.
Thus it was spoken, thus it was canon.
This land shall be known as the Three pillars of the sky. Was Camilla reported to say to a warrior's spoken word of the land to the then far south of our capital.
[To understand more of the world, First among equals Camilla commissioned a scouting band to explore the land and discover more fundamental opposites. The fact that it's upper ranks were filled with men that argued frequently with the First and sent to dangerous lands is surely a coincidence.]
"I apologized for our capitals name a dozen times over the years!"
Darian, Orange you glad I didn't go bananas........ You still have to go.
I've always wanted to ride those large four legged mammals that we would see on the plains from high up on the mountain.
[And thus in 2600 BC, did the Incas learn how to domesticate certain species.]
The capital was ablaze with the recent news from Buneos Aries, the mountains near them had recently seen an increase in black smoke. They merely prayed it was a false omen.
[We learned we also settled in range of another lux.]
"No, no. Darian! Stay with me. Stay with me, Darian! We'll get you a poultice, and we'll just... just staunch the bleeding..... No... No.. Darian! Don't!"
The Incan's first experience with battle loss. Before animals would get the occasional hunter. But the first to fall to a man, was lil Old Darian.
No longer was she first of equals. Now she was Chieftain Cammy the wise.
[I go with Discipline so that we have an easier time with barbarians, in addition God-Queen will allow us to get some faith and hopefully that'll mean a free settler or builder down the road.
And now even our own war bands report the mountains of black smoke. But even if this is an omen, if we work together we will overcome and fly high in the sky.
And lo did they meet the people of Auck. Who were blessed by the sea.
We shall settle that narrow pass to the south east. I have heard how our people crave the shimmering white material and the white powder.
[Do....do you want to call it something else..... no...... okay.....]
It is a pleasure to meet you. I lead the Incans, and one day we shall touch the sky.
[I don't know what triggers this, it seems like only sometimes they will offer to show you their capital, we accept, cause I wanna see where they are in the world.]
That was a lovely tour of your capital, Jayavarman. I hope to be able to visit again soon.
[Ehhh. That's a little closer then I'd like we'll have to rush to ahead them off.]
Although she spoke words of peace, Chieftain Cammy understood that she must claim the land to the southeast if there was any hope of peace, she thus offered lucrative deals for any willing to settle so far from the capital.
[Let's get Pottery, and then irrigation so we can get us some citrus.]
Your gift is more then appreciated, we shall send one of our own.
[Delegations cost 25 gold, and make the AI friendlier, and give you more info about them and their agendas. Agendas are what they like and such.]
[An end to suffering is often a problem, I don't tend to build holy sites.... War may be the only option.]

Re: Lets play Civ 6 (Expansions included)
Gladly. I've been feeling somewhat nostalgic towards Civ lately.

And I suggest rushing the Khmer with Archers sooner rather than later. No one can call you a warmonger if you've killed him before you've met anyone else.Many thanks to Assassin 89 for this avatar!

Thank you for the advice
I understand, but how can my people see the difference, tectonic plates? How can they see them? It's breaks my willing suspension of disbelief.
40% you're right. I knew it was less then half but couldn't remember the exact number.
Buneos Aires will be our bff!
I never knew that, but that explains alot. Now if only we could exchange embassies like 5.
And thank you for the image help.
Spoiler: Chapter 2, The eternal vigil.
~And lo did the black smoke burst from the mountain, and rivers of red fire streamed down. The beasts trembled in fear of this wrath of Mother Earth's heart.
A oral tale of the Inca. 3160 BC
"Men, keep firing. These savages will never see the beauty of the Orange Mountains."
Battle leader, William of the Inca to his slingers.
And thus did 3080 BC did the Incan's develop the means to store their food.
[A excerpt from pocket guide to Incan history]
C'mon guys, lets figure out how to harvest these orange fruits. I'm sure the people will be very happy with it.
[It is debated who started the cultivation of orange trees. Some believe it was the first Chieftain of the Incans. Other's believe it was the descendants of Darian. The world may never know.]
And lo, though they didn't know it at the time, did the Incans discover a new continent.
Citizens! Please return to your huts! There's nothing to see here!
"Justice for Darian, We know what you did!"
Return to your huts!
Maybe we should get a governor? That might calm down the people.
[And lo did the slinger's defeat the savages, lead to the development of the first bow, years later.]
"Sir William nearly lead us to our deaths. He persued the savages to their camp, where they were waiting in ambush. I held Old Johnny, I... tried to get him out of there, but there were too many..... I can still hear his pleas to not leave him.... but I don't have a choice."
A warstriken man out on the plains near The Orange Mountain
[In 2880 BC, did a band of settlers go from The Orange Mountain into the wider world, hoping to find a new home.]
Go, ye heroes. Go and claim the mountains for the Incan people.
[They would head to settle the defensive camp named the Narrow Pass, known for being the guardians of the Incan Valley from the outside world.]
Lo, did the mountain shoot out Mother Earth's red hair. Hope was that it was a good omen for The Narrow Pass.
~Commentary of The Orange Mountain.
[So this tells me, that if Khmer wants to settle in my direction, they either have to go Southwest around the mountain (maybe if they even can), or they have a one tile pass that they can reach the North-Northwest. So what do we do?]
"On orders from Chieftain Camilla of the Incan Empire, WE SHALL NOT MOVE! Tho a thousand years pass, WE SHALL NOT MOVE!"
The prayers of 101 squad.
[I really need to connect Oranges to my empire.]
Finally! Now someone go and start work on those trees. Someone! Someone! [Yeah we need a builder first.]
[I start with bronze working, tho I could be persuaded otherwise, advisors.]
"Can..... Can we get past?"
"No!"
The historical reenactment of 101 squad's heroic stance.
[Course a human player would tell me to move my warrior or they will declare war and move it for me. Via murder.]
[We met someone else, now if we murder the Khmer people will know!]
Greetings sir Teddy from the Incan people.
And thus in the year 2520 BC, did The Narrow Pass settlement come to fruition.
[Ooo. Early empire allows a civic, that makes settlers half as expensive production wise.]
Sure, they will be more then welcome.
[See, that's not how you get our warrior to move.]
[Yes, we shall hold this line, till our dying day!]
The Orange Mountains, the best city on Mother's Orange earth. Please ignore the angry mobs.
And lo did The Narrow Pass continue it's eternal vigil.

Re: Lets play Civ 6 (Expansions included)
The ancient Greeks decided that Europe, Asia and Africa are different continents a few thousand years before tectonic plates were discovered. The game could use more natural borders between continents, but otherwise I don't really see a problem.
I never knew that, but that explains alot. Now if only we could exchange embassies like 5.

Angry mobs? Oh, please, those are mildly irritated mobs at best. And you need a worker there, those resources are crying to be improved. Can't you hear them?
And lo did The Narrow Pass continue it's eternal vigil.
For broader strategy, after establishing myself with a couple cities and some basic infrastructure, I tend to build workers and settlers only with the relevant civics active. I usually stockpile an absurd amount of workers by the midgame, when I've unlocked the better civics that give extra builds. The Pyramids tend to be a pretty big priority too, but I don't see you having a spot for it. Though you do have a perfect spot for the Great Zimbambe right there in your capital. And settlers are better bought rather than built without the production bonus.
Building a caravan so you can have roads between your cities would be nice too, especially in that map.Many thanks to Assassin 89 for this avatar!

Granaries aren't very useful early on. Not until you actually need the housing. A worker would do more for the city's yields.

I do actually prefer some of the changes in Civ 6, I like being able to go wide, and I really like the spy changes. Hell I have a mod in 5 to add spy missions and such.
Buying settlers is expensive though.....
Spoiler: Chapter 3: The beginnings of border scuffles.
[And now the starting of a religion graces our lands. This is why I go God queen in the beginning. We go with fertility rites for the free builder. We don't need faith, since we won't be getting a religion. (At least not without alot of advisor pressure.)
Calm down, simmering mobs. Thanks to my genius, the Orange trees have born fruit.
Greetings Sir Kube, please ignore the mess in our capital we are merely cleaning up from the celebrations of the Orange.
[From the beginning it was send that the Americas and the Maori would be at eternal war. There wasn't enough room in the world for the both of them.]
An Incan explanation, 2360 BC
And now if we hammer build our builders, they can be cheaper!
The genius of our people has allowed us to turn this hill, into fertile farmland.
[The terrace farm is the Incan unique improvement, it's a farm that can be built on hills, and adds +1 food for each adjacent mountain. In addition if its next to a river or aqueduct, it adds +1 production.]
[We start work on Early Empire, so that we may churn out our cities faster. I prefer to settle as early as possible.]
[Here we meet Mexico city, with quite a useful effect, it allows some of our buildings to affect further away, depending on how close all our cities are, that could be quite useful.]
[oooo. A tribal village gave us a governor promotion. Can you guess who we picked?
"Lady Amani, ready for your service, Chieftain Cammy.
Our forward settlers experience danger. So I pull them back so they don't die.
Thanks to our people's genius, our trade routes produce endless food!
[Incan domestic trade routes get +1 food for each mountain tile in the home city, which means Narrowpass starts off with +4, and will add more as it grows.]
I would rather claim land for my people.
[Then the Incans heard of the world's first post history flood, before such events were locked to geological distrubences ]
[Ah, yes in ten turns we'll enter a new era of humanity, the classical era of humanity. One problem I have with these is that at least in prince games I tend to far outclass the game era with my tech. If it was like it was in civ 5's world congress, and say me hitting modern, forced the era into industrial I'd feel alot better.]
What? What are you talking about?
[We're not producing CO2, we literally can't produce CO2, what in the endless plains of the abyss is he talking about!]
[We get bronze working, but we don't have any iron.]
Yes, bow before Cheiftain Cammy!~
[We start on a system of writing to see if we can get some campus's in cities.
Incans have a weird relationship with campuses. Both Campuses, and terrace farms want alot of mountains nearby for the boost it provides. So if you get a good campus spot, it's also a really good terrace farm.]
[Oh hey, new guy!]
Greetings from the land of the Incans.
[So Scotland, is blocked off from here by mountains and city states. Lands for Inca to take!]
[We pick up a second governor. Alternatively we could have leveled up Amani, but I just wanted to ally with Buneos Aires]
Incan people, under the theory of colonization, we will spread far and wide and claim the high lands of the world!
[Maui's settlement, yeah there's no way this will involve war on their part..... End sarcasm.]
[With Writing completed, we start work on Masonry, advisors feel free to correct me on this.]
Cool, can you trade me your map? No.... no... why not?
[This is a benefit to playing with humans, you can trade more abstract stuff like this.]
The new city of Riverdam
[Creative advisors, feel free to suggest a rename]
[We get era score for settling on flood plains]
[We set up a campus, cause I'm pretty sure they get more expensive in later turns]
[Yay!]
[We blow most of our treasury on a builder to connect the marble and salt luxuries to our empire.]
[Let's claim our land. Any city name suggestions?]
[We have hit the classical era of humanity.]
[The classical era of humanity was marked by the Incans with sounds of scuffles in the chieftain hut.] Incan history 1600 BC
[Here we see the city of Orange Mountains, currently having an issue.]
Who... who are you?
[The Narrow pass]
[Riverdam]
[Damn barbarians!]
[We are in a normal era this era with America and Scotland in golden ages.]
[Chieftain Camilla was found murdered at the dawn of teh classical era. Forklore tells us the last words she ever heard was. "Justice for Darian!"]
[So what dedication do our advisors feel we should pick?]

Re: Lets play Civ 6 (Expansions included)
Spoiler: Chapter 4 A new age
[At the advice of the advisors we take free inquiry.]
My name is Chieftain Cassandra. For the first part of Incan civilization, we were ruled by an immortal god emperess. Chieftain Cammy, used her power to discredit her rivals, to hinder our people. Last night me and a small group of assailants stormed the huts of Chieftain Cammy, there we overwhelmed her personal guard, and found out our immortal god emperess wasn't quite so immortal. No longer shall we be ruled by her childish whims. We shall have a new NORMAL AGE for the Incan people!
[Called it]
[This barbarian archer is so annoying.]
[We follow our advisors advice and start on currency next.]
We will soon have a medium of exchange for goods and services to increase trade between our cities.
[Right, peace.....]
[And since we hit a tech boost we got an era point.]
[Um, advisors help. I'm really bad at choosing a place for this.]
"For the glory of the Inca's Governor Magnus is here to help, Chieftain Cassandra!"
[Here we see the Kyhmerians building Macchu Picchu.
We now know today that we stand at the start of the classical era of humanity!
[Since we have it boosted, we start on the wheel.]
[Now that Magnus is established in the city. Let's chop!]
With this new terrace food, not a single person will know of hunger in the Narrow pass. The word shall fall out of the Incan language.
[We also get 4 era points for building our unique terrain improvement.]
[And thus was the city of Olive lake built, stick by stick.]
[The eternal debate of, put campus here, or really good terrace farm here.
[If I recall correctly, we start on horseback riding, but leave it till we can finish a pasture.
Hello, Cheiftain Shaka of the Zulu.
[It turns out Shaka is to our south. ]
[We end up transfering someone to Olive lake]
[That's....actually not the end of the world, if it stays like that, I might leave it a bit.]
[And we meet the people of Kabul.]
[Oooooh. We can change governments!]
[So tier 2 and 3 governments each have three choices. You can pick the WAR option. The peace option, or a mix of the two. Since right now we have no war or active plans to make one we go peace.]
[Tier 4 is instead split by military, economy, and diplomatic.]
[These are the policies we choose.]
[We also start researching military tradition]
[The AI builds all the wonders.]
[Mysticism since we have it inspired.]
Greetings Preslav, it is I who lead the Inca, Cassandra first of many.
[I remembered!]
Now, where to stick our learned scholars.
[Any suggestions, advisors?]
[And with that, we now have mysticism.]
[Any suggestions on where to go next? ]
[The Orange Mountains]
[The Smokey mountains. Where should I put it's academy?]
[The Narrow Pass. That blue orb is where I'll put a campus since it's not a hill.]

[And lo, did our chops work, and now do we have the pyramids for a thousand generations!]
[We clear up this swamp for the food boost, before we plant a commerical hub down. If we didn't, we wouldn't get any boost.]
[I am a genius.]
[One more civic.]
See the foreign leaders send their people into war after war. Only I keep you safe, only I keep you well fed. It is my brilliant leadership that keeps you secure.

[Ooo, this will made tile yields nice....]
[I consider this, but we need to make a mine.]

[Any suggestions for what next?
[Second verse, Civics the first~]
[Our capital]
[So I shouldn't build too many campuses. So since this is pop 7, and has the pop for a commerical hub, and industrial zone. What do I work on next? Encampment, Entertainment? Campus?
[Olive lake.
[The idea is, the Long trail to the mountains. I could use some other names.]
[Our littlest city....]
[So, where do I put down a city? Or two?]

Re: Lets play Civ 6 (Expansions included)
In my experience yes, very much so. The Colossus is a very good wonder with just the extra trade route, and Zimbambe also gives you a lot of extra money once you've stopped using your caravans to create roads and prop up your new cities and can concentrate them all in a single city. Its placement rules also mean the AI can only accidentally build it, it never plans district placement at all.
Giving you a trade route per city was a mistake in BE, and it is a mistake in 6. It's like the people who made it never played 5 themselves, or didn't understand what made it work.
[So, there's not alot of luxuries, but there's plenty of space. Maybe two more cities? Any suggestions?]
Also, remember what I said previously about that other city being a good Zimbambe location? Scratch that, X marks the spot for a GREAT Zimbambe location. 7 resources in the city's radius, which will give you (checks wiki) +14 gold per trade route from here!
[Listen without walls, cities are really frail. Border cities, especially by Zulu, get walls!]
[Oh, so now you're not pissy at me for the impossible]
[We start getting great scientist points, but we don't want this one. ]
[We're naming this city Hinterlands for right now. Do the advisors have a better name.]
Of course, I'm surprised you haven't sent one already.
That mountain is smoking alot!
[Let's get chopping for the pyramids.]

Re: Lets play Civ 6 (Expansions included)
Spoiler: Chapter 6
[I feel like we've done this already.]
[Oh huh.... Kinda surprised the loyalty is falling this early.]
Let us explore the wider world.
[Somehow. Terrace farms don't count as farms for the purposes of Fedualism. Which is about ten pounds of bull. So let's get some regular farms.
[You mean the single archer. That's scouting..... That archer? That's too many troops on your borders?]
[During the year 125 BC, the Incan palace came under attack. People feared for the worst....]
My fellow Incans. The palace came under attack last night by dangerous assailants. They intended to kill me, to ruin the incan people. But they were unsuccessful. Tho they have scarred and deformed me. My resolve to lead the Incan people has never been stronger. May we have one great state for which the other nations look upon in envy. A new golden age for the Incan people.
[And now, for the medieval era. A world congress!]
[Okay, so obviously I want to either boost the stuff I'm working towards the best, or hamper what I'm not going for. For instance if I'm getting no great admiral points. NO ONE gets Great Admirals.]
[Nope, doesn't count. 2 troops does not an invasion make]
[Tho I really wish a skip option was there.]
[Special sessions come down to two things. One is, "Oh no, this civ has taken a city fight to liberate the city." (Even if you only took it, cause they declared war first), or "This civ was hit by a natural disaster. Give them money.]
[We have all the jesus we need, thank you very much.]
[I can't believe I didn't take pics of the actual emergencies.
In any case I'm not eager to war right this second, so....]
The Smokey Mountains are the largest in the world!
[See, someone that makes sense!]
[Let's take it into the fold!]
Again? What is it with you two!
[Oooooo]
[You know what, it's close enough. Do we accept this great person?]
[The capital, producing troops to claim the rebelling cities.]
[The Smokey Mountains. The breadbasket of the world.]
[The Narrow pass. Swiftly running out of good tiles to work]
[Riverdam, the guardians to the North east]
[Olive Lake]
[The Long trail. Where I consider if to remove that stone for a good terrace farm.]
[The Snowy Mountains.]
[This city needs a name. ]
[What do we work to next?]
