Civ 5 AI Only Timelapse: Destiny of Rome (Vox Populi) 

I was thinking right around the fall of Japan that Rome had a fair chance of winning if and only if Augustus didn't get stuck in a war with both the mongols and Attila. Against one he would have won (I think) but against both it just wasn't enough. Mongolia was great once it finally got its momentum back after Rome pushed it out of the southwestern provinces.

Et tu, Atilla?

@@rougehawk Most underated comment ever.

Well said.

@@adriantsien1867 Why would you want someone to eat the comment?

ThatOne Latvian just like in any game never trust anyone mostly in this game I had a alliance with Rome from the Med evil era to the modern era and they got ahead of me in tech and kicked my ass

This should be the top comment, Ive never done a one city challenge, so seeing that was amazing

Honestly I don't think it did much, as 90% of their tiles were forest anyway.

the huns betrayed rome to early to be fair.

But they had to, did they not? Rome would have captured the West and then Attila would have been destroyed. But yes maybe he made his move a little too early.

ナナシさん more like Rome's failed offensive against the Japanese. They wasted their army and their capital was pinned. THEN the Mongols took Rome (and the Great Wall with it)

You think it was just the Aztecs? Japan had a frigate just chilling a tile north of their capitol for almost the entire game!

No. A free frigate is the reward of one of the World Congress project.

Its also worth mentioning that a ranged ship is a very worthy defense unit for a city.

Max Bergmann Intense though... Looked like the Romans were about to just make it

You see, the government was couped by Enrico Dandolo and secretly renamed to the Merchant Republic of Venice, so they couldn't build new cities.

Theres a thing in vox populi called supply limit which limits the amount of military units you can have. You can gain supply from population, buildings, cities, or wonders and lose supply over increasing tech or war weariness. So at most a one city Rome could I'd say at most 20 units, and I'd say that AI was doing really well, but was too preoccupied with building wonders.

*YOU'RE TEARING ME APART ATTILISA*

Oh, hi Marcus Antonius

Skozerny crap. now I can't stop picturing a tommywiseau Julius Caesar saying that.

and what did we learn from that? that backstabbing can backfire xD

Treasure fleet project - World Congress

probably from the world congress project

Can't deny

жаль рим го в циву

Arakiven Yes that is possible (like gandhi) it's pretty annoying too.

Depends on their competitive score in combination with their backstabber score. Lowest sums would be your civs

Falcon of Honor AFAIK Vox Populi with being in a major war will almost always incentivize Puppets and City States to make units for you.

It's the vox populi mod. Units and combat are much more complex

@@silvertehrandom Yeah - in Vox I believe they're replaced with 'skirmishers' and 'heavy skirmishers' - since it's more realistic for all civs to use horse archers. The Mongols were the ones to use them most effectively in history but they certainly weren't unique in having them.

I'm happy when england does well I'm never happy

Vox Populi mod.

SlayTheRake I think AI always cheats

SlayTheRake cuz it's Rome.

Forest tiles have +1 food I'm pretty sure and I believe theres either buildings, cultural bonuses, or tech that helps bring that number up

What, do you not have double the population of every other player/AI Civ when you play Rome? ... Is it only me?

I'd never seen a 50 pop city before lol

Vox populi. Its a mod pack

Проиграл Рим из-за предательства Гуннов. Гунны, Япония и Рим противостояли Монголам, но Гунны решили напасть на союзников и потому слились

@@dontworry198 посмотри внимательнее. был долгий мир в котором коалиция распалась, рим стал крепостями отжимать территории гунна и наглеть, вот монголы и подговорили гуннов попилить рим, а как только рим пал, тут же разорвали гуннов, которые остались одни)) тут реально все глубже чем кажется

ошибся, рим крепости поставил еще задолго до прихода гуннов. но сути не меняет короче ) гунны решили отхапать себе кусочек но оставшись без живого щита сами были сокрушены..

Atleast "Vox Populi"

Top Tip, sacrifice some exploration and just kidnap every single settler and worker with a scout or two. The AI will eventually make a warrior to get them out safely but that's usually by like Turn 50-70 so you have ample time to set up while they're effectively on turn 10 with no cities, military, or improvements

By not taking any cities and waging a long slow war you don't even get a warmonger penalty afterwards

Thomas Cole's The Course of Empire.

There is not much to guide. Just build EVERY ONE OF science buildings and culture buildings as fast as you can. Wonders are good, but they are useful only when they are supporting corresponding buildings (Ex : parthenon supporting amphitheater). Guilds are good, but they are stronger when supported by corresponding cultural building (EX : amphitheater boost the writer by 33%). Even if you are playing as Egypt, wonder is something you should try when you are sure you have, or will have enough buildings and armies. Of course things get different when you start your policy from honor though. They get culture from killing and science from capturing cities after all...
