Yeah, I'd like some clarification on this as well. I just ended up murdering the civ that was making my people discontent. That seemed to solve it.

You also get Brave New World, and play that lol
Well it's not totally dead, since tradition + 4 cities is still very strong, even if they're coming at a slower rate than they use dto.
Well, not dead, but the linked guide kind of is: it straight-up requires fast-sales and sometimes loaning.
Oh yeah, the particular kind described in civfanatics is deaf dead.
So I'm almost done with my Venice playthrough.
I haven't fought a single war still. My army consists of 4 land units and 3 naval vessels. I am the richest empire in the world with about 10,000 gold sitting in my coffers. I've purchased every structure and unit for most of the game, while using my hammers just to for Wonders. Every time an empire starts insulting mine (a sign that they are scheming an invasion), I use my considerable wealth to bribe other empires into war with them while I never declare war. By the time they're done fighting, their war machine is too weak for to threaten me.
I've also realized empires don't eternally hate you like they did before BNW. Some civs actually turn friendly a hundred years or so after an all out war, through trade and diplomacy (aka bribes).
All in all, I love being rich. I feel like the illuminati, pulling the strings of world politics while my city thrives in eternal peace in my remote peninsula.

You need to focus on culture as a defensive measure against their tourism, pick an ideology that doesn't oppose the big touristy civs, or wipe out the big touristy civs with your military might.

No matter my play through style, I always rush the Great Library. Especially on higher difficulties that free tech is indispensable

This is turning out kinda of nice actually. I had to mass produce military units because, well, fucking barbarians everywhere. Advisor confirmed to not look at game state, because they want me to build settlers and workers when I am literally surrounded by barbs. Anyway, Theodora was getting ahead but me clearing all these bards has allied me with every city state. Yes.
You can make it with a straight beeline on Emperor;
Just forget it on Immortal\Deity.

Isn't wonder building what they do?
Okay, now I have to try Venice. Any social policy recpmmendations?
Yep. At least you get 2x gold when you take their cities if they've built a temple/burial tomb in it.
Yes but I didn't expect it to happen 2 times in a row
Through sheer triumph of will, I've begun to discipline my Civ binges... oops, 10 and a half hours gone. Goddammit Sid.
Oh well, at least I'm now in #1 score position, with the largest empire and running away with Science. Could also try for a Diplomatic or Culture victory, not sure what I want yet. I stopped buying city states, instead I'm just doing insanely profitable (4k+ gold in an instant) Merchant trade missions, and then pouring that money into things like buildings for all my puppets.
England is gone, I devastated Ethiopia after he got lippy with me and threw our game-long romance into the trash (I mercifully left him a dinky, worthless non-capital on the coast), I knocked Portugal down to size, and in between all these wars I'm a pretty nice person who creates giant defensive-pact blocs that tend to achieve peace in entire hemispheres of the world.
I'm a fierce, mercurial cunt.

Yeah, that's how I bought mine. A flash sale with 30% off.
Did it go below $20 or so? That's what I got it for with a voucher on GMG a few days back.
Sound like real life to me.

Ok, this is my first Civilization. I won the vanilla game from the steam thread giveaway, and bought the gold upgrade and Brave new world.
Just one question: should i read up on some forums/sites to get an idea of the game mechanics, or going in the tutorial/game will be fine to learn as I play?

Either is fine - in-game civopedia is pretty extensive if you can figure out how to navigate the sucker - but be prepared to spend a lot of time. And I fucking mean a loooooooooooot of time.

I love the new culture victory. In Vanilla and G&K I would turtle with 1-4 cities. Here I was buying votes for key World Congress enactments, struggling to trade for the right great works for theme bonuses, and I still ended up having to launch a surprise strike on Ramesses's capital to cripple his culture. I'm still at a loss as to how to manage the new opening (where no one wants to buy anything from me), but I hope to try another game or two this weekend.
You have to unlock archeology on the tech tree and then they'll show up all over the map where old battles were
Try restarting Steam. Mine popped up after I did.

That's nice for the 10 people who own BNW but not Civ IV.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Just got mine
Wow, so the 33% sale price was a mistake? I bought BNW at the $20 price of 33% off yesterday, so that was an error? Well, I'm glad I pulled the trigger while I did then...
I don't have Civ 4
