    At more challenging levels, other leaders will turn on you very quickly if you get all aggressive. Soon you'll find that everyone has denounced you and that you have a hard time keeping up. The best is when your civ gets unhappy and you can't get yourself out of it so they start rioting and pillaging your shit and killing them makes everyone even more unhappy.

      I think my friendly disposition will make things ok....it will be fun. Curious if i can get away with skimping on military, suspect i can't

        Jump up multiple levels to Emperor or whatever and see how it goes. Hell, try Deity. I should start up a new game, lol. Civ V is the best.

        • I always skimp on military and end up going for either science or diplomatic victories. Culture victories are really cool but much, much harder to pull off. Military victories are very difficult, too, at higher levels.

            If you want to learn the game mechanics faster, play on Quick pace. But if you want to attack play on Normal or Epic pace.

              Modern Armor, more modern armor, and yet more modern armor = profit.

              ... and a few Rocket Arties of course.

              • Actually, I kind of take that back --- I do enjoy racing for the atomic bomb and then nuking whoever has the misfortune of being next to me. Go heavy science, race for nukes, nuke everyone you can, then get a nuclear non-proliferation treaty passed so no one can do it back to you.

                  Yeah, I can skimp on military because I usually race science. So even if I get attacked, if I even have a tiny bit of production going, I can build units that are well advanced past my enemies.

                    Defending early game rushes is one of the most rewarding things I think ... especially holding off against overwhelming odds, then coming back to win.

                      Yeah, definitely. I've taken to playing with raging barbarians recently. They can be a pain in the ass, but it's awesome to see your lonely little archer all fortified in your city taking out wave after wave of raiding marauders.

                            Have you played with NQmod or Lekmod?

                            If not, you really must. It will freshen the game up for you on so many levels.

                            Lek Mod is a multiplayer balance mod made by lek10 and the Defiance group based on version 10 of the NQMod by Fruitstrike. Credit goes to Janboruta, JFD, TPangolin, DJSHenninger, the More Civilisations project, Tomatekh and Hiram for art used in this mod. DOWNLOAD LEK MOD V17F (current FFA patch...


                            You have to download, unpack, and copy the folder into the Civ 5 DLC folder, then restart. It's basically a community DLC that fixes the game, not a mod.

                              I hanve't. Looks very thorough. Do you still get your achievements when this mod is enabled? For some weird reason I get super annoyed when a mod prevents me from getting one of those "Win on Deity as Haile Selassie" popups on Steam or whatever.
