Get ready for the adventure in Civilization V!
You're just getting back into Civilization 5, huh? I remember you playing on the Prince difficulty—reminds me of how tough it was then. For Warlord, with a Warhammer setting and a huge map, it’s definitely a challenge. Since you’re starting as Germany on Earth in a large size without barbarians, focus on building a strong economy early. Prioritize research that boosts your military and tech, and use your resources wisely. Don’t forget to scout for threats and expand strategically. Good luck!
Check out YouTube for some tips, since building Civ 5 is pretty straightforward as long as you stay on track. Start with a scout build to gather more ruins, or go for a monument if you can get it from social media. Make sure to earn some profit early—this playlist has many good videos and I enjoy watching it regularly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u00fpdhs...LzH2-TKPaJ
Unless you aim for Immortal or Deity status. For the current player, my plan is to begin with resources such as mining and constructing landmarks like the Great Library and Hanging Gardens early on. Gaining free technology and additional food in the capital is always beneficial. Once you have this foundation, expand your reach and invest in libraries and universities to strengthen scientific progress. For a simpler path to take over another civilization's city, switch to artillery for land-based conflicts or use battleships for naval engagements. These units can significantly damage cities. It will take some time to acquire them, so if you start early, you can rely on trebuchets or frigates to weaken a city before using siege units for capture.
When facing challenges, consider alternative strategies or patience. I recall enduring a conflict lasting 50-70 turns before securing the first city on Immortal. Generally, deploying three siege units alongside appropriate ranged and melee forces works well, tailored to your opponent's military strength. If your units lack better options, focus on ranged assets to more easily neutralize enemy troops. You can also persuade other civilizations through trade to avoid direct confrontation. Tradition remains a reliable choice in many scenarios. For advanced progress in science, aim for the national college around turn 100, invest in education and scientific theory, and adopt rationalism. This builds a stronger military capable of defeating rivals. Just remember to defend early if threats arise.
