Sorry for the intense light not sure why it keeps doing that but struggling with deciding where to best settle. If you can give recommendations could you also explain what factors I need to choose from to better decide in future and not pick a random bad spot ?

Everytime I try a science victory this happens. It's almost as if I don't make an effort to lose in terms of culture, I eventually win a cultural victory. I have 3 theater squares, 2 of which I got from cities revolting and coming to my side.

ive always wanted to connect what i see in the game to the real world. where is a natural wonder? how does a wonder look like? which leaders are of similar era?

so i made this map (heavily aided by chatgpt) that shows the real location of them, and some additional basic information (in-game and real world). i also include links to the fandom page and the wiki page for each entry.

any feedback is welcomed!

to address some of the potential issue:
- currently no plan to accommodate mobile webpage
- there are too many great people, so currently no plan to include their images
- i tried great works a little. too many hurdles

I've built 4 spies (at least). I sent them to various cities in Vietnam over the last few turns. I suddenly realized that I never get a message that they have arrived. Now when I go to the unit list I don't see them. Is this a bug? Has anyone seen this before?

I always feel a birt dirty if I win by diplomacy by rushing the statue of liberty cause all other options are out of reach. Especially when I was going for a science or culture win.

Greece never got to initially settle. I’m going for religion victory and I kept searching for their cities and im like wait there’s a random settler trapped between tiles and that’s the only unit they have on the map. They just now finally established their first city.

*I set the win condition to domination only, for I could be peaceful no more...*

Believe it or not, the disaster you see is actually a religious victory (my only Deity religion win). Domination would have been easier, but I never do religion, so might as well.

As for what happened... I never played the zombie mode, and because I am an idiot, I also added the tech and civic shuffle for the first time. Obviously, that didn't work out great for me. I didn't reach the good stuff in time and the zombies overwhelmed me and razed pretty much everything while I stared in disbelief.

Do you guys have similar experiences?

Just one small step for man, and a giant leap for mankind

I set resources to abundant, but i did NOT expect this at all when I loaded in... shame I got it with America. I do use BBG and BBM, as I play multiplayer a lot with friends.

I have 2 settlers. Where is more strategic left or right? pedro at the bottom is currently mad. I just want to try win with science victory after first time playing as gandhi yesterday and won with cultural victory. U guys think science is more hard to achieve?

*first time playing king difficulty? (vanilla)
