I recently got back into civ 5 again. I am a little late on the return, but I got the sudden urge after me and some of my friends decided to play vs eachother again last month. I started watching civ 5 guides and stumbled upon you and FilthyRobots old videoes, and I've been watching them to help me relearn the game. I had never touched any difficulty higher than Prince difficulty prior to my return to the game. I've now beaten one game vs AI on difficulty 7 after watching your videos, and I've been trying to win a Deity game for almost a week straight now. I decided to get the safe file listed in the description, thinking it was an easy win (went for science victory), but I lost diplomatic victory to Brazil... I didn't follow your gameplay step by step, I just rushed the natural wounders and thought I had the game in the box. But what I wanted to say is your videos are helping me improve my deity games vs the AI.
10:48 in the same vein of king solomon mines being like having a salt tile, at the end of the day lake vic might as well be two free civil service tiles, granted it is also a lake so it does make civil service tiles around it, but later on it becomes a tad less relevant compared to the faith ones or king solomon mines who really help out until the very last turn. still, wont contest that lake vic is incredible. i played a game recently where i found lake vic in the middle of the desert (no hills) and really went out of my way to put a settler there so nobody else would settle it, like 10 turns later sweden shows up and absolutely demolishes the city lol, even the ai thinks its good
I love Spain, when you get a good start you can really snowball. And in defence of the conquistador unique unit, it is a cavalry unit and it has no negative bonus when attacking a city, making it one of if not the best unit in the game at taking cities (considering you need a melee unit to actually take a city)
Hi! Thanks for the kind feedback, glad you enjoy them! I think you're asking about "Enhanced User Interface" specifically, but here's the links to all the mods I use: Enhanced User Interface: forums.civfanatics.com/threads/enhanced-user-interface.512263/ Enhanced User Interface [Install Instructions]: forums.civfanatics.com/resources/civ5-enhanced-user-interface.24303/ Air Unit Hotkeys (hotkeys for faster cycling through air units): www.reddit.com/r/nqmod/comments/42b3rw/air_unit_hot_keys_mod/
I know Civ V has lost its youtube appeal but I played this map this week and it took me until turn 197 to get the science victory with Brazil threatening a diplomatic victory, a full 64 turns behind your win. Thanks for keeping the map downloadable btw. I'm sure life got a bit busier for you after covid and other stuff was more important. It's a shame you stopped though. I'd still like to see a deity game played through with domination the only victory condition allowed and on a huge continents map playing at standard pace. I know that is a difficult proposition but if you ever feel the want to play again and post the play on your channel I'd love to see it. Consider that a challenge :D Good luck to you , you entertained me during covid and beyond.
In my bazillion hours I've never seen an AI take One with Nature so it is never a worry getting it. thanks for the map (lol ..Spain is more Catholic than the Pope)
Of course, I just had to try the map myself, never have Deity been so ridiculously easy😂 And yes, you easily a higher number of population than the number of turns😂😂
No there is no bias for wonders. You can try it yourself if you reload the same map, you'll continually change spawn locations (though other civs have other types of start biases)
@Michał Borzyński 😅 Confirmation bias instead I think haha! It's surprising how often you spawn near natural wonders actually. The difference is, they're all brilliant as Spain, whereas with other civs some can be downright garbage
Hi! You need to put it into your saves folder. Have you messed with that before? It's usually in \Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Saves\single You should then be able to see it in the "load game" singleplayer menu, with the same name as the file name
Haha yeah if you roll for long enough it can be madness! I did play another one before on stream (also submitted by Alex Sacher) that was even more epic, but sadly the video recording of the game came out too low quality
I once rigged a Spain game and still lost :( It was my first Deity game too. After watching a few games here I can see that I moved too slow on some other expansions and that allowed other civs to run away
Spain is such a hit or miss civ, i love it
Haha yes - but when it hits, it HITS!
I played a Spain game recently and managed to settle Great Barrier Reef and Mt. Fuji. Easiest game I've ever played
Wow I'll bet! GBR is a decent but sometimes mediocre Natural Wonder if the city has nothing else going for it. As Spain though, it's pretty insane!
GBR spain has to be one of the craziest starts. 1k gold instantly has so much snowball potential
I just got Solomons Mines and got the Temple of Artemis on Deity on a big map 😁

Haha, nice map, even the Fountain of Youth becomes a workable tile with +8 Faith 😂

Casual 1600% faith increase from One With Nature LOL
Brilliant! Thanks!

I played Spain and I got a better start with just mt.Sinai and El Dorado
Edit: I even played on standard speed
El Dorado as Spain almost feels like cheating lol
I'm gonna spit up blood
Of course, I just had to try the map myself, never have Deity been so ridiculously easy😂

Hey PC J Law are you good enough to do an honor policy tree instead of tradition on level 7 or 8?
Do you spawn near natural wonders if you play as spain??
Yes
No there is no bias for wonders. You can try it yourself if you reload the same map, you'll continually change spawn locations (though other civs have other types of start biases)
Just as Alex says above, there is no bias - this map was simply rolled several times to end up with everything in the perfect location!
@@PCJLaw So filthy robot lied :(
@Michał Borzyński 😅 Confirmation bias instead I think haha! It's surprising how often you spawn near natural wonders actually. The difference is, they're all brilliant as Spain, whereas with other civs some can be downright garbage
I downloaded the map. Anyone familiar with how I play it? Sorry never done this before. Any help is appreciated.

You should watch flthy robots' Spain game, think he had 4 around his capital haha!
Haha yeah if you roll for long enough it can be madness! I did play another one before on stream (also submitted by Alex Sacher) that was even more epic, but sadly the video recording of the game came out too low quality
Spain is the most gamblecore civ
I once rigged a Spain game and still lost :( It was my first Deity game too. After watching a few games here I can see that I moved too slow on some other expansions and that allowed other civs to run away
Playing this making sure I get TOA and Petra. Hoping to beat PC's finish although he's a beast
insane game
I know - wild! Nice to have a bit of a fun Spain game every once in a while haha
Why do you improve tiles you can't work?
How was this map created?
Rerolled about 200 times
Whilihm trolled you with Petra.
If you didn't get 1-turned on artemis and petra you could've gotten it even faster!
Help me
