Sleep is for the weak, or Civilization V announced

[[ES] Mindflayer]

The game plays a lot slower than previous Civ versions. Best thing is to focus on learning one victory condition and how to balance the other aspects, and just play over and over.

K, so I went through the tutorial and played a small (continent sized) game and got further before giving up. I was boxed in and couldn't get any further without war. I was not ready for war. I simply was not producing the gold to buy my way through all these different borders.

I have won Domination, Cultural, Diplomatic, and Time - but the space race seems out of my reach.

[[ES] Mindflayer]

Just won my first Space Race as Babylon!

Cranking through all of the Civs. Domination is still often the endgame as the enemy Civs won't leave you alone. I understand this is being fixed. They are also nerfing the buyout of Maritime city-states to get huge quickly.

I had no problem winning with a science victory even tho i ended up taking over half the world just to stop the constant attacks.  But a diplomatic victory was pretty much impossible unless I wanted to wait 100 or 200 turns.  I am going to try just buying off the city states because that was all that was left besides me neway and see if the vote goes in my favor lol.

[[ES] Mindflayer]

A Diplomatic victory requires you to pay off the city-states. That's the idea....

Try Science at Prince or King level.

Just won a point victory with Darius on King level. It was fucking hard.
