The guy playing Suleiman is the most accurate representation of a civilization AI I've ever seen.

[@steaveraphel]

Dante Glory he didn't denounce someone for retaliating against another civ

[@PerfectAlibi1]

steaveraphel Or worse, a random AI declares war and suicides against your units (or doesn't even do anything at all) and then offers a city in the peace agreement. Then every other AI calls you a warmonger if you take that deal! XD

[@Not-Ap]

@@PerfectAlibi1 The AI is annoying. Has been since inception of Civ. Best to just ignore the AI's ridiculousness and focus on growing your military, economy, infrastructure etc., that way you don't need anyone.

Venice represents how i'm in the world congress very accurately

[@zthompson2350]

Not me, unfortunately. While I understand the benefits of city-states, I usually only work to be ally's with a couple of them. Too often, doing quests for them can be overly burdensome when I'm trying to lead my own empire. That said, I do typically go for patronage and that first branch that puts the resting location at +25%

[@AugmentedOwl]

I am venince in the city state way- but then I also invest heavily in expansion. Woo for cities~!

[@pablomendoza4897]

zthompson2350 Yeah, i also find that doing missiosns for all the city states can be a little hard, so i basically do the same you say, and when i am stupidly rich, i just give them money :p

[@TheEpicWin126]

Yeah, my main thing is just being Montezuma and using autocracy to fear my way into their hearts, becoming allies with like 30 city states without having to do quests. I'm pretty sure that is how most people do it anyways.

Abe Toecon what

[@Fkruus]

while it wouldn't immediately break his alliances, it would significantly reduce his gold income meaning that he couldn't keep buying the city states loyalty for then next world Congress. You're correct that if it was the first vote he could have repealed it but because he already put other delegates in other positions he lost this vote. While not a perfect explanation, it shows the idea behind the script. if the vote actually happened as it did in the video it would screw him.

how to win in Civ 101. step 1: get a lot of money. step 2: buy all city states step 3: deny everything that the rest of the world throws at you. step 4: wait for a world leader proposal to become possible step 5: ??? step 6: profit.

Maybe on prince.

[@ChevaliersEmeraude]

I actually won on Immortal that way. With Venice, to be honest, so that made it easy! But yeah, Diplomacy is probably the easiest way to win in Civilization V, especcially since allied City-States give you a lot of bonuses that sometimes can be hard to come by otherwise, like Happiness or Military.

[@pjrt_tv]

"I thought it was candy, but it is pigs!" I thought the same thing when I played Civ 5! I seriously could not understand the picture of truffles. You think your entire life that it is candy (Chocolate Truffles) and all of a sudden see a pig eating something off the ground as representing "truffles". Very confusing, I thought maybe the pig was eating candy off the ground, but that made no sense.

[@Peusterokos1]

Pedro Rodriguez Pigs are used to find truffles. They have a much better sense of smell than dogs, and are also more dedicated when trained properly. Nonetheless, the image for truffles is highly confusing, even if you have this prior knowledge.

[@misterbadguy7325]

Truffles are actually a kind of fungus that grows in the wild. Pigs love truffles and can root them out, so the "truffles" luxury is just a forest where pigs have managed to sniff some out.

[@paultato8485]

Deutsches Kaiserreich I was actually playing Venice in a multiplayer game with my friends after we watched this and wanted some Civ 5 action. I'm playing as Venice, we are still in the Classical era and I have 10 trade routes I think and so far 3 city state allies and 2000 gold. It sucks though because my terrible friend (he only knows how to play military, doesn't know empire expanding tactics like population growth and city placement) is in debt from his army tax (and hes playing as German for Christ's sake) and I am always bailing him out, in return for him invading city states which is exactly what I don't want him to do (he like to annex city states). A bit of a rant, but yes if Venice founds the world congress and builds the forbidden palace it dominates even without allies, and Maria Theresa + Genghis Khan are the worst enemies of the Venitians.
