r/civvoxpopuli

I set myself a rule just out of curiosity and slight role-playing purposes

As I was getting more and more into civ(and naturally getting interested in history), few months ago I set a rule for myself that I will only play as a Civ only if I have read the whole Civilopedia entry for its history, leader, UU etc

Since then I have found myself more immersed in the gameplay as well and its been solid fun

Who else does this and name your favourite Civ

Mine is Venice from Civ 5(obv singleplayer) but I absolutely love its unique tall gameplay and drowning in tons of gold

Before playing Civ 5 I was not at all aware of the history of Republic of Venice but after going through its history, the way it survived for so long between great powers and its disproportionate impact in european(and world’s) history relative to its size is just so fascinating to me

I clicked farm, build the farm. Why do I have to click farm every turn

I played a fair amount of CivV, a few wins in deity mode, comfortable at lower difficulties.

Tried vox populi but inevitably I seem to play the same way as BNW CivV (4 cities authority).. any help on which strategy you use?

I play Prince difficulty in VP, with Poland, I am used to science win of course (in BNW domination too is almost a science win..).

For example, it seems like Piramid is great early, monument/shrine too. What's you usual opener (in BNW it was clear..)?

How many city do you start by turn 50/100, do you conquer one neighbors?

Thank you!

N.B. I get VP is much more flexible than BNW, that's why I ask your general strategy, feel free to answer as you like.

I find myself having to constantly re-build the exact same buildings across multiple of my cities. I have not gotten any event of a hurricane or literally anything, and yet I am constantly having to rebuild something I built like 50 turns ago (I'm playing of Marathon). Am I being sabotaged? I am playing on Emperor difficulty, is that a feature?

Hi, guys. I'm completely into this mod, but noticed something strange. Maybe it's because I'm a noob, but technologies do evolve with the real time historic periods, until Industrial Era and Modern Era come. It's common to me being in 1945 and not have basic modern technologies.

My games were not science focused, but even the AIs science focused are not getting there as expected. Is this something normal in the mod or is being worked in some way?

I heard about an Enlightenment Era mod that solves this, but it seems it's not compatible with Vox Populi anymore.

Thoughts?

I was messing around as China just testing somethings out and ended turning one of my cities into a city state. I'm trying to learn how to farm it lol. Can individual cities rebel when your empire as a whole is happy?

Done some reading around and my understanding is with a single player Vox game you can potentially add up to 21/22 additional civs, but on multiplayer it appears to be more likely 8?

Is that configurable, and does anyone have any experience doing so? A friend and I did our first game, we were just hoping for more players
