Do Soothsayer floods and eruptions cause tile improvements? I tried it with a flood and it didn't seem to.

I like to opt for cult-ish names or nonsense. "India has embraced The Cult of the Falling Sword" "Spagoolism has become Russia's dominant religion"

Always the butterfly, always "bein' fancy" or "fanciness," or just "don't be a dick." Although I should name it "the D" at some point just to see how that goes.

I think that with 6 limiting it to inspiration, there's a neat fridge logic subversion there that it can just be some random connection that gives someone a stroke of brilliance based on observing something within this indigenous culture, like a creative abacus or something that inspires a breakthrough, or the boost for Class Struggle being your in universe Karl Marx thinking 'bout "Primitive Communism"

Started a new game as Kongo thinking I would be the nice civ that destroys everyone with culture. Spawned in the middle of rainforest and woods and got started, but oh here's the goddamn Aztecs just six hexes away and already giving me poo poo. So I waited until I had the Kongo sword unit, denounced them, and attacked. It took a long time (especially with a bonus barbarian invasion in the middle of it) but I took their cities and ended the threat. The only other civ I've met is America and they're angry right now but I'm hoping I can return to my peace-loving ways and patch things up.

Apocalypse Mode is fun for half the things it does, but it's a pain in the rear end for how much you have to rebuild your tile improvements after natural disasters. Is the final level of pollution really "rocks fall, everyone dies"?

Someone posted a video of a streamer triggering it as the Mayans in a gimmick run (possibly a sponsored stream?). Basically 1-radii sized meteors start raining down randomly, a few a turn, with a bias to those who appeased the least. Everything -including cities- in the radius dies, and the center tile becomes impassable terrain.

Uh so apparently Soothsayers generate non-resource damage CO2? A player in my multiplayer game abused soothsayer flooding on a river protected by Great Baths and generated 2000+ CO2 compared to everyone else before we even got to coal

I was playing a Kongo game today and was putzin around the map with one of my worthless apostles that had the convert barbarians promotion when I decided to go check out what was going on at the north pole. As soon as it got in sight I saw the entire landmass up there was covered in barbarian modern armor, helicopter and AT units. I immediately converted about a dozen units and marched my new barbarian army to the south to start razing the Incan homeland who I was in a war with like Stannis coming around the wall. I think convert barbarian may be my favorite apostle upgrade now. edit: What are you actually supposed to do with Kongo apostles? It seems like most of them were of different relgions, and I don't see any purpose in going around converting other people's cites or fighting holy wars with them.

I think the idea is you should be using them to spread religion delicately to the most suitable cities, but actually you should be getting them the martyr promotion and suiciding them for relics which are great for Kongo

Spread the religions that you want the benefit of, interfere with other religions spread, or get martyr via Mont St Michel or just rando promotion and enjoy them dying and giving you super relics.

I'm deep into my Kongo game and for the first time no one is trying to spread their religion to my civ. It's bizarre.

But also, some of them have benefits you might want to take advantage of, like buying buildings with faith or constructing specific worship buildings with good bonuses.

prom candy posted:What's the benefit of having another civ's religion? My post was because Kongo specifically cannot create their own religion, but once a religion is spread to their civ they can create Apostles, and give them the trait that creates Relics when they die because they get a big culture boost from them. So we're in the Atomic age (curiously early) and I still don't have any religion in my civ.

I do not loo back on V fondly other than all the multiplayer shenanigan fun I had with friends ages ago. I have strong opinions about this, but 6 is way more dynamic. The only thing V has going for it in my mind is the Ideology system was fun and Universities producing only science makes sense when stuff like Theology and Philosophy are still part of the tech tree.
