Successfully Complete a Ghost Civ Run

I completed a Ghost Civ Run is what I'm calling it, but please tell me if there's already a name for it.

I played an entire game on Deity without interacting with or discovering another civ the whole game. I won via Science Victory. I did expand too. Had like 6 or 7 cities.

Anyone do this run themselves?

Context: Am playing the DS version.

Music

Is there anyway for someone to get the full sounds files for each country's intro music, I know someone got the other tunes but I have yet to find each country's meeting tune.

Civ Rev DS

I played Civ Rev on PS3 originally, but my systems are kinda limited because I have other priorities in life right now. I got a DS a couple of months ago and started playing the shit out of CivRev on it.

Current dominant playthroughs are with Mongolia as the early game makes expansion super easy.

I was able to survive a brutally long hardest difficulty run in either the Apocalypse or Alpha Centari scenario via Cultural Victory. I played as... Light blue? Aztecs I think. Either way, game lasted like 300 years or something, starting in the year 2100 I believe.

I love playing this. I have been really going hard on cultural victories. Very satisfying to see cities convert and then building them to your level from scratch again.

Anyone else get this bug?

I'm playing on PS3. After starting a game I establish a city and go to rush a unit. Unfortunately I get stuck in the manage city screen and none of the buttons on the controller work, except for the trigger buttons.

The controller functions properly otherwise. Any ideas? I'm assuming this bug is related to the game and not the system. I'm not a huge gamer so I'm not sure if this is an indication of something else.

Love the game. I probably wore the disc out playing it over the holidays!

Ultimate power rankings for head2head

After many years of having played this gem of a game on and off I have recently rediscovered my love for civ rev. Reigniting my interest in ranking the civs and discussing strategies.

I started playing civ at edition 3, discovered civ rev demo and plaid as Roman’s till 1000 ad online. Then went on to master deity, played many ffa games, then off to head2head as the last remaining and still very alive lobby on Xbox. I must have played well over a thousand civ rev games in each game type, thanks to the leaderboard resets there is no record to proof this. Around 2020 I was able to climb to rank nr4 in the h2h leaderboards playing mostly Romans and Indians. Here is my power ranking:

  1. Americans
  2. Chinese
  3. Zulu
  4. Arabs
  5. Spanish
  6. Romans
  7. Aztecs
  8. English
  9. Indians
  10. Japanese
  11. Greeks
  12. Germans
  13. Egyptians
  14. Russians
  15. French
  16. Mongols

Anyone who disagrees is welcome to debate me in a game and happy to share my tactics over chat

Got a new phone (S24) and want to play CR2 on it, but it got delisted from google play. Also tried using an APK file from my old phone (A53), and it failed due to incompatible version data or smth. Any good way to get an APK file for my new phone that is compatible?

Need a gift for my dad

My dad is the biggest civrev player out there, he's been playing it since it came out, and he pretty much plays it daily for like 2 to 3 hours when he's home. I want to 3D print maybe some fo the little warrior units or maybe the ship in the technology win for him for Christmas, but I don't know where to get 3D models for it. If anyone knows, PLEASE link them!!! Thank you much.

Selling in CivRev2

I assume that to this day no one knows if there is the ability to sell units? Kind of awkward having a gally in 2030 AD and not being able to sell it off...

Differences between Xbox 360 Version and Series X Version

I have been playing a lot of civ rev recently on my old Xbox 360 and my Series X an I have noticed some minor differences between the two versions of the game. I have noticed that the Series X version will automatically set units to defend if you don't move them after one turn and you have to manually go back to that unit to move it. Also the Series X Version the colors are more brighter and saturated which makes the game look a lot better graphically.

I wonder if there is other differences between the two versions of the game I am missing?

Odd city flipping

Playing a game against the computer yesterday I encountered two strange city flips I’d never seen before.

I was the Zulu and controlled the main continent, with about 20 cities including the remnants of the Russian, Spanish and Indian empires. The Romans had 2 cities on an island and were doing well culturally, but my cities had temples minimum and around 50% with cathedrals.

I attacked the Romans and captured Veii. It immediately flipped back to the Romans after I hit end turn. Never seen that happen before.

Then, a few turns later, Madrid flipped to the Romans - despite being nowhere near Rome or Veii and there being about 7 cities closer to the Romans.

Having played this game for years I found that very odd and interesting. Not sure if anyone has experienced the same.

Is China the only civ that can grow 5 citizens by 3300 BC?

A strategy I like using for China is to plant my capital in 4000 BC, immediately put two citizens to work forest while one citizen works grassland. 4 production and 2 food. By 3500 BC I have a settler and a Beijing with 2 citizens. I then move the settler a few tiles from the capital and settle it usually 3300 BC or 3200 BC. Beijing at that point has 2 citizens and the new city has 3 citizens bringing the civ's total population to 5. I can't think of any other civ that can have such high population numbers that early. To me it really showcases how awesome the Chinese bonus is and is one of the things that make them fun to play. Other civs are generally not encouraged to immediately build a settler in 4000 BC, but with China it's not a bad choice to make. I love it when a civ changes your basic playstyle like that.

Who has the best late game and early game?

(Not including america because they are broken from turn 1 tbh. Especially medieval era on. )

My first thought for late game is England because of the naval support bonus. If your combat takes place on the shores of water, england will dumpster you. But Rome has a good case because 1/2 cost wonders means all the late game builds are easy for them.

My first though for early game is the Arabs. Fundamentalism just goes so hard in the early game. Although an egypt with the oracle of delphi has a case too. Zulu would be the only other answer imo since 2 warrior movement on turn one is crazy good for early leads as well.

England has the funniest bonus in the game. Who has the second funniest?

England's late game bonus of doubled naval support is a bonus that allows you to get an insanely strong combat bonus (+54) for all land units in the game as long as you have a battleship fleet next to them. I have sometimes used this bonus with ancient era warriors which makes them overpower units they have no right to overpower. The AI attacks me with a knight army and my warrior unit kills it. I attack cannon armies, pikemen armies they get destroyed by my warrior. Even a tank army suddenly has reason to fear my warrior unit. It's a pretty hillarious power trip. What other bonuses have you used in ways you found to be funny?

Culture Flipping 8 Cities

I’m trying to get the accomplishment for culture flipping 8 cities, and I’m getting stuck. It seems like the early game will let me flip cities sometimes, but late game doesn’t.

In the image here I’m playing as Rome, and my culture has the English city of Coventry completely surrounded by… and it just. Won’t. Flip.

Something like this happened once before.

Has anyone else run into this?
