And just in case

Okay so I want people to help me pick the Civ I play
I'm probably going to decide via bracket style
Here are the civs
https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Ci ... ons_(Civ5)

The only ones that I will refuse to play as is Iroquois or Venice.
Venice doesn't make for entertaining gameplay and the Iroquoi's passive literally doesn't work.

For rules, I'll be playing on Immortal. Thats the 2nd highest difficulty.

Uhhh what’s the bracket

[Alisae]

Well I need people to suggest Civs first!

[Gamma Emerald]

Uh idk enough about the game to suggest any myself
Russia I guess in honor of the Civ 5 UPick Venmar ran

Russia is one that interested me for quite awhile so I'm happy that you suggested it

1. How are iroquois broken, I can find nothing on the subject / they used to be one of my favorites and I don't recall this

2. Civ 6 was what it took to finally convince me that civ 5 is a bad game, play civ 6

I'm glad you asked!
Let's talk about the passive that they have.

(1) Units move through Forest and Jungle in Friendly Territory as if they were roads. (2) These tiles can be used to establish City Connections upon researching The Wheel. (3) Caravans move along Forest and Jungle as if they were roads.

Ability 1 is fine, but you will remove forests and Jungle is like an okay bonus, but its only friendly territory. If it was all territory, its a different story.
Ability 2 suggest something that isn't true. It establishes City Connections in that a Habor establishes a City Connection. What it makes you THINK, especially with Ability 1 is that Forest and Jungle tiles are road tiles, which they are not. Say you have a City, a plains tile, a river, a jungle, a jungle, and a city. You don't want to waste money, you want to use your unique ability. What you should be able to do is build 1 road on that plains tile and that results in a City Connection. Yes, this establishes a City Connection.

But here is the big deal
Can you move military units across that?
Nope.
What happens is once you get engineering, your unit can cross the river for free.
Road tile to Jungle tile will still take full movement.
So once you cross the river, you are forced to take a dead stop.

The Forest and Jungle tiles will NOT connect with other roads. Transitioning takes full movement points.
And for Ability 3, who cares?


Also Civ 5 is extremely exploitable in things you can do. I'm not at all argueing it is a good game, Civ 6 is probably better as you say, but I enjoy Civ 5.

[Espeonage]
