HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO WIN AT THIS GAME

>start on continent with just myself, Zulu and a bunch of city states
>Zulu is being a difficult pain in the ass right from the start
>border tension and wars constantly
>eventually meet everyone else from the other continents
>fucking Zulu starts making friendships and alliances with everyone on the other continent
>tricks them into fighting me all the time
>all except Scythia who is a constant ally for the entire game
>does the broest things, gives the best trades and gifts for free, helps me fight off enemies in the water, all smiles all the time
>build up my army to defend from that fucking expansionist Zulu fuck who is somehow much stronger than me, militarily
>nearing the end of the game
>finally strong enough to fend off Zulu and start erasing him from my continent
>Scythia helps by fighting all of his allies on the other continent by herself to keep them off my ass
>game almost over
>definitely going to win
>get to turn 488/500
>"DEFEATED."
>turns out my fucking ally Scythia for the entire game was secretly using all our trades to build a fucking space ship and won the game with a Tech victory

YES I MAD.

You are warned on several occassions if someone is close to a science victory.

key is stop being bad. Game isn't that hard once you've learned the correct orders.

There's NO such warning. There's a bunch of news feeds that come up every single round from spies and delegates but no warnings of any sort.

Haven't played since the first update dropped and I couldn't LAN anymore BUT, navy. For AI bullying purposes just maraud up and down their coasts, regardless of difficulty they'll have no answer for it. You'll even find yourself gaining footholds in places you really shouldn't and reinforcements will be focusing there instead of your borders

>he hasn't won a religious victory on Deity
Newbies the lot of you.

There is, you're just not paying attention since it's the same warning that you get when a civ builds a wonder.

Not buying the game for one, as bad as Civ V was, at least the expansion packs gave it depth.

>Zulu

gut good

Also if you weren't retarded you could see the progress other civilization make in the world ranking

Honest suggestion

Maybe you should play on a lower difficulty

What difficulty was this? Also make sure you check the victory screen it will tell you how close to winning the other players are. Science victory is the main one you have to watch. I've never been beaten my religion or culture that I can recall.

It was much easier when I first played Civ 6 (back around launch). Everything was easy and the AI was practically not even there. The hardest thing about Deity back then was the barbarians. The current version though overhauled everything though and now it's actually difficult.

>turn 488/500

How is it possible to be this bad, even on your first try?

I had to mod the game to slow all science research rates by 100%, because otherwise my spaceship would be finished 200 turns into a 500 turn game while the AIs were still walking around with spearmen, and that's on the highest difficulty.

This game is a joke.

>mfw Chocos think they can win against God's favorite people

>488/500
if you havent won by turn 300 what the fuck have you been doing

Informative Webm but reminder that Scythians and Sumerians are also in the game. Sumerians are led by Gilgamesh and I'm not certain he was even a real person.

>now it's actually difficult.
nah its still easy as fuck, the ai still sucks

There isn't enough evidence that Alexander definitely existed, according to many scholars, but he made a huge impact anyways.

That used to happen all the time in vanilla (or whatever you want to call the original launch version) but I've played two complete games since getting the expansion and lost them both. First one I had to quit prematurely because everything was fucked from the beginning.

>wtf?! Why is France's leader an Italian? REEEEEEE!!!!

Not a valid argument. Corsica is French.

Owed by Fr*gs, but still Italian by blood. Napoleon only learn French because he was bullied.

That is not true
>Literally we wuz science

have a pity (you)

>Napoleonni Bonaparti

Are you mad the Zulu are in the game?

it's simple
>niggers
>civilization
pick one

*wins game in 100 turns*
Τίποτα προσωπιkά, βάρβαρες.

>not girugamesh
nothing in any civ game has been as retarded as war carts

>Everyone starts at the level of niggers with mudhuts and not knowing how to harvest crops.
>Be mad that the niggers made it in.

well America should start with democracy and guns

Shit tier bait

>mfw Gil wants to be my close "ally" after only meeting eight turns
I-I-I'm not ready for a serious alliance yet.
