Hey /civ4xg/, the Veeky Forums League X friendlies will be happening on April 6-8 and April 13-15, and we've been invited to take part
>I don't know what you're on about That's okay: Every 6 months the generals of Veeky Forums get together and play in a heavily modified virtual soccer tournament, which gets streamed for all of us to watch and meme on
If you guys are interested in taking part, we can organise up to two friendlies against other generals on the board, and I'll leave the choices of generals up to you. I'll also be doing a roster poll after the friendlies for the VGL Proper which will be in June, so suggestions for any new players you want to see on the team are also appreciated
Do we still keep the corpse of /cbg/ in our basement, or has it been exhumed?
Nathaniel Collins
Yes good goy, Purchase our early access title for full price then continue to buy hundreds of dollars of DLC for the privilege of being able to play the complete game.
Kevin Smith

Paradox is known for feature bloating their products to fuck, which I guess falls under the header of "continuous updates." But if you expect a damn good thing to come of it you need to take Wiz's cock out of your mouth and take a deep breath.
Christopher Wright
Alright lads, I'm back; out of a quick show of interest, who would like me to continue this current simulation, and/or who would like me to start a new one, preferably on a slightly smaller galaxy, possible with that better AI mod?
So I'm making an empire whose purpose is to spread themselves through Migration treaties and outbreed their good pops with my shitty ones. So far I got: Extremely Adaptive Rapid Breeders For negatives I'm thinking Decadent for -10 happiness to anyone who'd accept a migration treaty and deviants to make pops of different ethics. Wasteful is nice but I doubt the AI ever increases living standards. Open to more suggestions.
Zachary Bailey
meh, just start another
Lucas Ortiz
I dont deny that but I dont care who theyre doing NAPs with.
Robert Hall
well, as scummy and degenerate as garbage-men are, that fucking robot is STILL a thief, so he's in the wrong
Nathan Nguyen
>mfw 2 empires keep making and breaking migration treaties that do not in any way affect my Hive-Mind empire but I get a notification every time a migration treaty is made or broken
I'm new to this general and to 4x in general. So, I've been playing civ4 and I'm not very good at it and I would like to improve. I always play on large maps with 18 civs, and I can win almost every time on noble, but only about a third of the time on prince. Do you guys have any special tips for me?
They cost a lot of minerals to build so the developers probably didn't want to give players the option of cancelling out their own investment. Can you use a Colossus on ringworld segments?
Cameron Rogers
>took you till 180 So I wont play lifeseeded then, seems to be dogshit.
Adam Myers
Which is the best war doctrine?
Jason Cooper
It's not lifeseeded, I decided to do a 1 system run on insane for some stupid fucking reason. ended up doing a 2 system run when I realized I couldn't build my ringworld on my home turf also rushed unity with almost no research which was fucking stupid
Zachary Price
And I thought I hate my life, but thats a whole new level.
Sebastian Edwards
Robots and droids have a penalty to Unity production -- but will they ever produce less than 1? Is there any downside to putting Robots on a Stronghold or Fortress?
Jayden Wood
Wanna know the worst part? I just let my neighbor swallow me and sucked his dick. I lived completely safe inside him all this time while he just barely tolerated me (with -40 border friction from 2 planets and -30 from fanatic xenophobe). Now I'm finally ready to expand to my third system, but I can't buy anything from him. He won't sell me one 2energy system for 55000 minerals. So I'm gonna have to somehow backstab him.
Robert Nguyen
Mod the shit out of this iteration of Civ The kitchen sink mods on civfanatics are excellent, and most of them are even stable! You're doing fine, especially considering you're new. The spoilered site has tomes and tomes of how to get better at Civ4, but it gets to REALLY autistic level very fast. .
Elijah Cruz
>two systems goodluck
Brayden Hall
>Computational Overclocking.
Uh-oh.
Also, bumping this: . I get the feeling I could have ascended decades ago if I'd had that cumulative Unity.
Noah Howard
wait till he loses a war and then cuck him.
Dylan Sanders
That's not gonna happen. Everybody likes him.
Hudson Anderson
>He won't sell me one 2energy system for 55000 minerals. The AI will never sell systems because the AI is gay
Austin King
Pray for a crisis i guess?
Jack Roberts
I'd rather not mod it, apart from BUG. I think the game is fine as it is, and I'd rather get good at it so I can play with others in multiplayer. I've already checked civfanatics, and I did find some useful info, but I can't seem to be able to put that info into a coherent strategy. I tend to find that everything goes too fast, especially if I get attacked when I'm not quite ready yet. I repel an assault, fight a few battles, besiege a city, then I realize I went from antiquity to late medieval without making any big progress. The only way I seem to be able to win is if I immediately rush other civs before they have the time to prepare anything, and then snowball from there.
Isaiah Edwards
Best weapons for fighting Contingency?

Camden Ortiz
Get your basic economic needs taken care of, then work on keeping your pops happy. Be sure to have a clear idea of the technologies you want to research and the layout of your terrain. Don't expand into areas that lack valuable resources and serve no strategic purpose early in the game. Focus on research, the difference between one generation of military technology and the last can change the outcome of a war.
Christopher Murphy
I'm gonna be the crisis. Just you wait.
Oliver Bailey
someone salty that op put stellaris first
Camden Adams
I appreciate your effort, but those are some super basic tips. I'm not THAT bad. I need advanced strategies and tips. Even autistic ones if it's needed.
Angel Russell
>Implying the whole game isn't just about knowing the basic mechanics well I get where you're coming from but it just takes practice.

Ian Morgan
Wait, there's games besides Civ and old Alpha Centauri?? Which one do I play next!?
>prethoryn scourge is the most fun crisis >it's also the rarest fucking stellaris
Easton Hughes
I haven't seen the unbidden in my last 10 games. And not since 2.0. Contingency and Scourge all the time. Mostly the contingency.
Blake Green
I just need five more years to get the Defender of the Galaxy Ascension perk. Until then I will let the Contingency burn the eastern half of the galaxy and focus on the Southwest. I'll focus on increasing my fleet capacity and creating a fleet that handily take on one of their 120K fleets with minimal losses. If I can do that then I can clear out a good portion of the Southwest and then take on their 200K fleet and destroy one of their Machine worlds. If I can do that then there goes 25% of their fleet production capacity.
What the FUCK happened? Still-stagnant non-awakened FE just up and started somehow instantly conquering half the galaxy The entire nation gets instantly absorbed
Why don't the end game crises have a chance to come back after you beat them?
Especially the Scourge. There were multiple different Tyranid hive fleets after all.
Cameron Hall
Are habitats good for anything?
Dominic Davis
Same thing happened to me, I declared war and the big showdown between our fairly even fleets was one system jump away. The raiding fleet that came into the system just before our fleets met mopped them up entirely. And they just kept going past the system with my fleet as if nothing had fucking happened.
They weren't even on the way to raid either of our empires. That was the best bit, I like to think they were bored and did it for kicks.
Jaxon King
yeah, destroying your unity
Camden Jones
yes
Lincoln Lopez

The Prethoryn Scourge are the last of their kind who have come to the galaxy to replenish their numbers. In reality they had to escape their own galaxy because of an even greater threat that erradicated all life in their galaxy (which they call The Hunters) and is already in pursuit of them. As soon as they consume the galaxy and their get their numbers back up they all plan to leave the galaxy and keep running from The Hunters who are still following them.
>Vanguard Prethoryn make up the current Prethoryn crisis >following this, a main fleet will arrive about 50 years after the vanguard arive; if you've managed to defeat the vanguard, the main fleet will be forced to fight for another beach head, but will otherwise just massively reinforce existing prethoryn systems >in addition to larger fleets, the main fleet also comes with titan and colossus sized organisms, and planets they've infested will become barren again and spawn more of their colossus sized hive ships or whatever >basically, they're the follow up to the vanguard softening up the galaxy and are now trying to ready all the biomass to leave again >50 years after the main fleet arrives, the sternguard fleet arrives. If there's any prethoryn presence still in the galaxy, they'll just reinforce and help try to get as much resources as they can. If you've defeated the prethoryn thus far, the sternguard will either remain in the galaxy for a solemn last stand, or will immediately flee >25 years after the sternguard arrive, if the prethoryn have a certain proportion of the galaxy conquered or if they have a certain fleet size, they will leave the galaxy. If not, they will continue their attacks, but in a far more agressive and frantic manner >50 years after the sternguard arrive, the hunters show up. The prethoryn attempt to flee en masse. They don't make it.
What would the hunters be?
Gabriel Price
$10 says the Hunters are something related to the Shroud
