i played iii when young and then didn't play again until vi so i never spent time with iv or v. and when i experiment with them it's hard to ignore the tells that make it clear that they are simply more antiquated games even if only superficially, and even if the gameplay mechanics are superior to vi. and i have no benefit of nostalgia.

Is this Charles? Civ VI -- with all of the additions, etc. -- is the best civ game, no question.

civ V as the "good" civ game standard is the biggest flame ever. a 4x game where you are forced to build tall is Absurd. acceptable answers are 2-4 and 6.

i play pericles partially out of superficial irl appreciation for the greeks but getting extra envoys + the culture bonus once you achieve suzerain status is a big boost, and hoplites also allow for quick domination of immediate neighbors in early game. also extra wildcard policy slot.

my natural inclination is to pursue cultural victory but to collapse into domination simply because the cost/benefit of eliminating neighbors becomes too strong in favor, and from there i might as well just kill everybody

ideally defeat immediate neighbors in early game, but if playing on deity or playing a civ without a unique early game unit u can skip

start chickenshit wars with non-threatening civs / city states in early and midgame, pillage improvements for gold (with the pillage yield bonus card). create massive gold stockpile, tap only if necessary.

focus on science. once knights start getting cheap spam them out, produce as many as possible before you reach the tank technology and knights are no longer available to produce. but get to tanks before anyone else.

once you reach that technology use your gold stockpile to upgrade all ur knights to tanks. start killing everyone, continue to pillage for gold and upgrade ur tanks to modern armor once you get there. win.

I prefer horsemen/cavalry/helicopters to heavy chariots/knights/tanks. The issue with tanks is that it’s hard to find oil on land before you can drill for oil offshore, so it’s easy to get stuck with a bunch of knights that can’t upgrade until you’re practically in the atomic era.

Cavalry also can do much more pillaging. If i invade a neighbor with 3-4 cavalry and hit up their science and entertainment districts with the 2x pillaging yield bonus, then I can advance through 300 years of human history over 5-10 turns of the game.
