What's the difference between the two responses?

what game?

The top one is more threatening.

You either sound like an edgelord, or like a cuck.

Is Hitler a pacifist?

Age of Empires 4

I've never played these games before but is ghandi really like that in the games? It's hilarious.

Nothing.

There's a mod that changes that though, where if you choose a dismissive or rude option the AI has a chance of declaring war.

Cities: Skylines

Is there a penalty for being nice, then, or did they release the most pointless mod of all time?

he'll also threaten to nuke and obliterate you

Kek, that's pretty funny

It makes you look like a coward, so the other factions have a greater chance of not respecting you.

It comes from some fuck up in the coding for one of the earlier games. They set his aggression rating to 1 but the lowes the game actually went was 2 so the 1 was read as -1 which looped around to 255 making him incredibly aggressive. they thought it was funny so they kept him so trigger happy.

In the original game, Gandhi's AI was set to always adopt Democracy. Adopting democracy also lowered the chance an AI would go nuclear by 1 or something. Gandhi was already at 0 by default, and due to a bug in the code, going lower than that caused the value to overlap to the highest possible number.

This meant that Gandhi was super chill until mid to late game, where he would then get super North Korea about nukes.

The devs thought it was funny so he's been purposefully nuke happy in every game since.

Tim Burton's Nightmare before Gandhi.

That's pretty funny. So it's not a mod? It's actually legit that he gets nuke happy towards the end? I might have to play this just for that.

Not a mod, Gandhi wants your blood user.

Gandhi knows the only way the human race can have peace is if it doesn't exist.

>He doesn't build a stockpile of nukes and station nuclear submarines full of them within striking distance of every capital and launch at any Civ who declares war on someone before sending in ground forces to burn their cities to the ground
it's like you don't even want world peace

>tfw halfway through a game and you're wondering who's the AI that's keeping up with you
>find them
>it's Gandhi and he brought an entire continent to heel already

afaik, they've never had Hitler as a German leader because they hate fun.

>Pick Alexander
>Expand like crazy
>Everytime someone declares war on me I overrun them and no one questions it
>Win by having all the votes
>Friends with Sweden

gg ez ff

nah nigga what actually happens is that he gets a tech that sends his aggression into the negatives which causes it to rebound to max

>Hes tries being best friends until you stop giving him shit
>will insult you and lead to war over it
>acts like he did nothing wrong and the world agrees with him
fuck you hes worse then niggers.

>getting that far ahead of the AI

It's like you don't even play on anything harder than King.

What's the best way to learn the civ series?
I picked up civ 3-5 on a humble bundle but for some reason the game just confuses me. What's a good quick start guide?

Gon' Die

>be peaceful isolationist nation just minding my own business
>some shitheel declares war on me
>his forces start coming over the border
>stem the tide until they stop coming
>march my armies to his land and burn his cities one by one, not stopping even when he's offering me everything he has to please just stop
Anyone else do this? I play like Jack Reacher, I could give half a shit what you're doing but the moment you mess with me you're fucking done.

That and the game would get banned in Germany; where a considerable amount of their audience derives from.

>be peaceful isolationist nation just minding my own business
>some shitheel declares war on me
>his forces start coming over the border
>stem the tide until they stop coming
>march my armies to his land
>every civ in the game denounces me
>even my allies
>Considered a warmonger for defending myself
>other civ joins my enemies
>Forced to commit fucking genocide one civ at a time
>Just wanted a nice cultural victory

I fucking hate the civ AI sometimes

Literally the best way to learn is to just pick it up and figure it out as you go. You won't need any guides unless you're playing on Immortal or Deity.

Every time and it's normally always the fucking Netherlands or Germany who start shit too

>the fucking Arishok keeps setting cities near me
>gets mad when i settle cities near him
>he asks me to not settle near him
>the fucker settles near
I wiped him from the face of earth

I'm not good enough at anything pre 5 to talk, but when it comes to 5 first you have to understand that harder difficulties don't make the AI smarter, it just gives them more free shit. If you can figure out their patterns after that, it's brain dead easy.

If you can't,

Then you check out Zigzagzigal's (That's the closest I can get to spelling it without looking it up.) guides on the Steam Workshop. He's got pretty noon friendly guides on how every Civ works and how to counter them.

The fun way is to just throw yourself in and do shit until you understand it, but I get that some people like to min max from the beginning.

I do the opposite. first I remove rival civs from my continent, fully colonize the continent. discover the rest of the world and then I play civil.

I just wish Civs didn't know about the atrocities you commit before you discover them. I want to erase Civs in the beginning without having the whole world hate me before they meet me.

If you kill them before they get to meet anyone from beyond the ocean nobody will ever know.

You can play a pacifist and everyone believes you will sitting on a pile of bones of all the nations you genocided.

Pretty fucked up desu senpai

Each leader has an aggression rating between 1 and 10. Gandhi starts out at 1, but there's a skill that lowers aggression of AIs. The way the aggression was stored allowed the aggression to overflow and gave Gandhi an aggression of 255 out of 10.

>be peaceful isolationist nation just minding my own business
>one nation keeps asking for open borders
>tell her to fuck off
>gets super fucking pissed off, denounces me and turns hostile

>asks for open borders again
>tell her to fuck off again
>throws another hissy fit
>get annoyed and take her over
>get denounced by everyone else to the end of time
Fucking Austria

You have to denounce before declaring war on somebody to avoid getting infinite diplo penalty. Better yet, goad them into declaring war on you and then take their shit.

Nothing.

Ghandi is a fag. He doesn't forget, and he hates War Mongerers. He doesn't fight, has maximum cowardice, but waits until he reaches the Atomic Age and then purely attempts to nuke people within range, never warring if he can't hit with nukes. He rarely survives into the late game because he's such a faggot who tries growing TALL and not building an army so he gets wiped easily by other AI. If he does survive, send him your uranium and hope there are warmongers near him though, it's great.

>He plays with randomised AI personalities
>He plays with AI

>also, your face when India doesn't ever want to buy your porcelain

Fag. You're wrong.

Ghandi had the lowest aggression, set to 2.
Democracy tech, when adopted, lowers aggression by 3, which pretty much neutered all AI from fighting to mimic Democracy.
Ghandi being 2, caused a stack overflow error and dropped to -1, which actually became 255. He was suddenly so aggressive, he could only take aggressive actions.
Nukes are the most aggressive thing going, so he went nuts, for nukes.
It was so iconic its been kept in the game since, he's no longer aggressive, but he has a +12 in desire for NUKES, when the max is +10. Even the most aggressive Civs only have an 8 at max for nukes, also.

Hopefully Civ VI's casus belli and war system will change this.

Civilization V

Why leader has the most sorrowful end look?

Tbh Vikings were the niggers of Europe so I can't feel bad for them. He just looks like a guy who's been denied some raping or stealing, not a guy who's civilisation has gone extinct.

This bummed me the fuck out

The mongolians are incredibly loyal allies if you can side with them

I miss leaders "Portrait" changing with the ages. Made it easy to tell how ahead/behind a civ was if you had no map info on them, as well as getting silly things like Ragnar Lothbrok with a suit and glasses.

It's a real pain in the ass to get to that point in time. Especially when they ally. Oh god it's hell when they fucking ally.

Machiavelli would have won

I want to play Civ for the first time, which game is the best one?

It would be dope to see Genghis on a Harley or something.

Yeah, the Mongol is my favourite AI. Either one of the worst enemies you can have, or the best bro in the game. Accurate to Genghis Khan irl iirc.

If you're a beginner, then 5 for sure.

4 has alot more depth, but 5 is definitely the best one for new players

Call of Duty: Historic Warfare

How do I avoid running out of $$$?
I didn't have a problem with it in my first game but every game after that it becomes a primary issue

Civ V with all the expansions + DLC. Or simply the complete edition. It's always on sale when Steam does sales. If you don't get all, then don't bother.

It's one of the best Civ games when you have the full package, but the worst if it's just the base game.

One don't build beyond your means you dumb fucker, secondly become a jew and trader, Third build banks and guilds every where and study commerce.

Which civ has the best musical theme and why is it the netherlands?

l-lewd

...

Also, with you luxuries, outweigh your happiness with your cash flow. If you can sacrifice some happiness for a unique luxury that you only have one of, you can sell that to the highest bidder for a huge price. And assuming you're not focusing on warmongering sell your strategic resources to civs that are.

>yfw you get the great library before an ai does
Am i the only one who has trouble with this?

Germany, i find it hard to play other civs simply because the germany sound track is so good

This

I love it so much I went through the trouble of finding the Ode To Joy piece in the game files because I couldn't find the exact one online

>He doesn't play with randomised AI personalities
>He doesn't play with AI

pleb

Hahaha,
Oh man that's good.

Ghandi is such a fucking cunt though.

god a copy of the base version for free from a friend. I've always preferred RTS but there's something about the early building and expanding that's just really relaxing and fun. Only won a few games on 4 and all of them were by space program or culture because I'm terrified of pissing off the entire planet. I'll have to get all the dlc eventually cause I don't see myself getting bored of it anytime soon.

I think I'll play as the Dutch.

Being very jewish is a good idea.
Strong military as well. Hmm...
Any other tips for a novice?

I've played at least 30 games of Civ V and won most them.
