Oh ok, I had no idea they could do that.
yeah, this is my first game getting to air combat as well. Itās not exactly intuitive
FWIW, in case you didnāt see it before, I asked some clarifying questions in PYDT discord #general yesterday about how anti-air and fighter interception works
Yeah Iām a much more experienced Civ 5 player, played a fair bit of SP 6 but air units donāt get any play in SP really.

Such BS that fighters only intercept a 1 tile range when bombers can pillage, I literally need 700 AA guns to protect my tilesā¦ Hurting my science and production and youāre causing crippling war weariness without entering my borders. I get that bombers pillaging is realistic but mechanically itās BS.

Since you have Forbidden City, one more you could do is switch to Communism and then run both the Fascist Legacy and Defense of the Motherland wild cards
Yeah, I noticed you had switched to communism running the fascist card, thought about it but I lose the production towards units right? Not sure communism production is as good for me. Will think about it for sure, donāt think I can stop you now either way though but I will continue to try my best to defend.
gdr and battleships fight against bombers.
if you caN BLOCK THE PATH THAT HELPS I THINK AS WELL
Some way off GDR and I have some battleships but my (used to be) high production cities are inland.
My Petra city was -1 amenities last turn, built a sewer to get back to 0ā¦ And this turn all of a sudden I have -8 from war weariness (-40% production) in that city!?? Where did that come from? You didnāt even pillage that city this turn, this game is so dumb.

hi all! FYI Iām going to be traveling internationally june 25-30 and realistically wonāt be able to take turns during that whole period. Sorry for the inconvenience!
also, to avoid confusion since we share other games: Iām subbing out of my other FFA in order to reduce the number of games Iām in. Since this is probably close to an end or a draw, Iāll stick with this one until either it ends or everyone agrees to leave it as a draw

As much as Iād be delighted with a draw at this point, I would prefer the game to finish with a victorā¦ I am perfectly ok with you taking longer over your turns or not playing for a period when you are away. No problem with that in the other game weāre in together either.
Did your destroyer armada one shot my full health missile cruiser armada? Or did you attack it with something else first??

sounds good
I know for sure I hit it with a missle cruiser in DoF boosted water first. I may have also hit it with an aircraft as well, but I donāt remember
Yep, was wondering how long before the nuke would comeā¦ I concede, Iām ruined, took cap back but no chance I can win, lost a load of units and 2 tank armies insta disbanded because I went to negative gpt.
My plan for this game was to win science, got Petra/Ruhr city up to near 300 production and was ahead in tech, thought Iād be able to build a load more units to hold you off, then go to spaceā¦ and then the bombers pillaging completely fucked me. Killed my hammers and science, instead of building units to defend I had to build anti air and repair my campuses and industrial zones, and then my cities were still fucked by war weariness.
Was building Manhattan but only getting 1 uranium a turn (not even sure where from) meant I still had to wait 3 turns to have enough to build a nuke anywayā¦
Disappointed in the other two players for offering no resistance to you whatsoever, maybe if Iād had a few more turns to prepareā¦ But I see now that you do not want to be defending from your main cities in info era! Should have taken a couple of Mongolian cities and tried to hold a line thereā¦ At least I learnt something here lol.
GG to Copper, well played, unless Persia wants to continue?

i was preparing some resistance but i have been so far behind since sumeria attacked me early its not true.
didnāt get a religion and faith is the number one currency in civ.
i dont even have tanks.
you get 1 of each resource no matter what when you discover it.
superbly played CC and what a fun game this was.
sumeria by the way with the land they had could have won this
Yeah Sumeria not who you want to be fighting earlyā¦ Good job with that! Was more Mongolia and Greece I was hoping would stall Georgia and buy me a little more time.
Not sure Iād say faith is number one currency, itās certainly very useful but every currency is very important! Canāt play without science, culture or gold eitherā¦ The game is actually very well balanced in that regard, building the sim and managing infrastructure/economy is really fun and interesting. I just wish the combat were a bit more akin to Civ 5. Fingers crossed for Civ 7. 
Yep was a fun game, GG all thanks!

yeah but faith can be turned into all those things. its better value than gold and as flexible.

Yeah, I do like high faith builds a lot too, it is really flexible and I love an OP monumentality GA. 
Gold also saves a ton of hammers, you need to be able to upgrade units or youāre likely pretty screwed! Like I said, need to get a good balance. Certainly easier to get that balance with faith but can be done withoutā¦ Intense early war is always gonna put you behind, whatever build you go for.

copper here was getting cities builders units districts eurekas golden ages and inspirations as well as free tiles all from faith, i go a merchant and general all game. as well as the religion benefits.
Not denying it can help a lot but you can get all those things without faith too. There is opportunity cost to building holy sites as well but yes, majority of games I would try for religionā¦ So, Iām not completely disagreeing with you, I can see from other games youāre a really good player, always see a very strong sim from you.
Wish I could see the whole map for this game, thing I hated most about always war was that I couldnāt scout the map. Iād like to know how Copper was able to found so many citiesā¦ I was a bit squeezed in under Mongolia, tried to play taller and develop high production cities but wide is always better in this game, I gave it a good go though, might have worked if things had gone a little differently, if Georgia had been a little more contested/threatened/stalled by itās neighbours in particularā¦ Respect to Copper though, he played his game perfectly, going for warrior monks was undoubtedly a really good play for this one and allowed him to allocate more resources to sim.
hey @StefanosG @andrewsmart48 ! gg! well played, especially in the end 
I got lucky in this game in a few ways:
- I was able to secure a classical monumentality golden age only by completing a CS quest with 1-2 turns to go in the ancient era
- No one contested papal primacy (which gave me dominance over CS) or warrior monks (which let me ignore science, and the bottom half of the tech tree for the first 50% of the game)
- Lahore was in the game. nihangs are even more powerful than warrior monks
- My close neighbor Greece didnāt counter attacked me when I invaded mongolia, enabling me to take Mongolia out fully and quickly (to benefit from their cities) and then circle around and attack Greece from 2 fronts
if any of those things had gone the other way, it would have been a completely different game
anyway, that was a great time! GG, see you around in other games!
