[PC]Civilization V coming!

[Zanza]

I actually bought it on Steam for 35 Euro today. I got the "Game of the Year" edition which has some DLC. The base game and Gods&Kings cost 15 Euro each right now.

It really depends on age and gender of the thirty Euros.

Good one.

What are the best mods these days for Civ5 + G&K?

What are the best mods these days for Civ5 + G&K?

Nights is good, if only because it turns the most important mechanic in the game on it's head. Population (1 per) gives you happiness and military units (5 each) and cities (20 each) consume it.

You should also look into the mod collections that you can find in steam.

I'm enjoying it, not read the manual/help files or read any forums about Civ5/God and Kings so will found out how it works by trial and error/ playing it by ear.

Continued with my 2nd game ever, I ended up playing for 8 1/2 hours last night. 

Haven't done that since like my teenage years.

Is g+k the only expansion out so far?

Yeah, that can happen sometimes.

It's almost like us 'mature' people don't have anything else to do of an evening, weird.

Got around to continuing my game, it's 1915 and the agressive Askira, at war with Washington, has entered the later's territory to finish him off; I think I'll have no option than to come to his defence, otherwise I loose a valuable buffer territory, which I imagine will trigger WW1 across the map.

You can give him units. Get access, enter his territory and give him the units.

The biggest weakness of Civ V is that strength and weakness snowballs.  If AI nation is behind and getting attacked by a stronger AI nation, then it's doubtful that any help is going to be useful, short of you attacking the stronger AI nation directly.

I've already got access, positioned some units along the border when the enemy made their move, I give them all to him or I'd probably prefer to attack myself and gain a city or two, probably giving one back to America.

I recently finished my first G&K game, as France. I had settled for a small empire (7 cities), focusing on gold and culture. I shared the continent with Sweden, Mongols, Ottomans, Inca, Maya, Persians, Indians. On another continent were Spain, Austria, China and Denmark.

The Ottomans slowly conquered the smaller nations on the continent. For most of the game they had a lead in technology. France rarely went to war - except with the Mongols who kept attacking their neighbors in random fashion. Fortunately we were separated by mountains/hills that created a number of natural choke points that I simply fortified. That way I was free to build my cities and wonders. Victory in 2021 through utopia project.

I've basically found out that if I can promote 2 or 3 extra range double shot archers/composite bowmen early on in the game I can go on a conquering rampage. As long as I have a sufficient support force of horsemen and rough terrain promoted infantry I can deal with any AI forces in the open and approach any city (eventually) and then take it down. The other real nasty promoted unit is the ranged sea unit with the same promotions.
