Now I'm no expert my top lvl of play is just Emperor (I just don't like to feel like I'm low man on the totem pole so I really don't do higher difficulties well) but Chieftain?Ĭlick to expand.This is why confirmation bias and trends make missconceptions sometimes very hard to tell appart from reality. My third game my neighbor was Mapuchi (sp?) and also cornered in WTH did I just get horrible luck? Why is the AI not dumb as a log? if I had a little more time with Cyrus I maybe coulda pulled it out but I was still having trouble with barbs and Mapuchi forward settled me so I knew it was over (that game was REALLY short like 20 maybe 30 turns). My next game was America again and I was like cool! I can start this game off right! Well I got immediately cornered in by Chandragupta who took over all my city states and it was obvious I was next. The rest is me fuming so skip if you like. So yeah all of a sudden this game is not fun, did it get harder or something? I can see cheap tactics by the AI in higher levels but CHIEFTAIN? The AI is supposed to be as dumb as a log!!

I started in Civ 5 than got Civ 6 vanilla and decided to go back to 5 until 6 filled out, well I recently finally pulled the trigger for GS and the rest and well, 3 games of just pushing play game and I FAILED HARD what gives? I seem to recall the default settings was Chieftain (EASY) yes, I had some bottom tier civs (2 with America and 1 with Cyrus) but still Chieftain was SO easy before I could do it blindfolded! My first I got rather far, into modern age it was doable I guess but not fun I mean I finally got to war and ALL my suzerains went to my opponent IMMEDIATELY like what gives? and before that I went to war again and the most important suzerain I had went immediately (I had 8 envoys) to my opponent meaning the army I was going to levy is now attacking me.
