I like how no matter what time the game of civ begins, it always ends at 6-8am

Now with more bold! Less Italics due to bold

it's all micromanagement and boring stuff

but it's so compelling

I really like Civ early and mid game. late game it feels like a chore though. I hated cycling through like 50 cities and setting new production constantly in 4 especially. the less cities you have to manage, the more fun it is.

military domination is a totally legit strategy

how do you win through the other strategies? is it just whoever gets x amount of science first wins?

kinda! Although they all have production involved.

Late in the tech tree you can build space parts, and the first person to build a space shuttle and launch it wins.

For diplomacy, you build the UN and have enough friends in the game (ie citystates) to vote you as the winner

for culture, you complete enough trees then build some superbuilding

It is kind of amusing going a destruction *and* diplomacy route. Build the UN, smash the other countries until you're worth 200 votes to their 3. Whoops, looks like you just won

I find military victories to be far more boring honestly.

You do know you can just put them on automatic, right? <.<

Late game you really shouldn't have to micromanage almost anything because you should have everything set up certain ways anyway, and then auto management should just play to your strengths. I've never had it do me wrong and I've played up to like difficulty 8 (whatever that one is, I forget).

I won! Military might, wooo.

Except I never got to even use the Fighter jets that I bought. :(

...and crap. I clicked "main menu" without checking any of the stats. augh

I've been getting into a CiV kick again in anticipation of the expansion. Fun times.

It's iubaris, not Lubaris.

Complete a spaceship for science, complete five policies and build an utopia project for culture, build the UN and have enough support to win for diplomatic, or just a score victory through time.

you should move up to chieftain difficulty, too. settler is super easy zone.

the dreamer of improbable dreams

haha, yeah, do the other dudes actually attack in that difficulty? i feel like everyone was just kind of sitting around getting pissed but not doing anything

the higher you go, the more aggressive they get. they get angrier easier, they build more units, they're more willing to declare war. they get advantages over you, so they'll tech faster and produce more. that's not until after prince, though, but yeah, it gets harder but more enjoyable to play.

whatever the normal difficulty is, that's the closest to a fair game

anything below the computer gets various handicaps, anything above they get various bonuses

Bonuses aren't too bad. King is a good difficulty once you learn Civ 5.
