The Indus Valley civilization led into the Vedic period, seeing the fall of old nations and the establishment of new the rise of Hinduism but also the rise of the caste system. With one of the earliest civilizations in the world - the Indus Valley civilization peaking around 4,000 years ago, the Indian subcontinent truly is an ancient land. Southern Asia is greatly diverse and greatly complex, and if you are to rule these lands, that is something you must respect. If you dont clear the camp on the same turn the occupying is killed, a new barb unit is likely to spawn.Note: This guide assumes you have all game-altering DLC and expansion packs (all Civ packs, Wonders of the Ancient World, Gods & Kings and Brave New World) and aren't planning on spamming the comments section with jokes about nuclear weapons. Alternatively, use ranged units to kill the unit in the camp, and a second unit to move onto the (now empty) camp. a Brute), you can lure that unit out with an un-escorted settler or worker, then capture the empty encampment to get another Handaxe. If you find another camp with a different unit (i.e. After that, do not capture occupied camps. a Handaxe), then you can find an encampment with that unit inside and kill it. If Germany kills another unit inside of an encampment, then the saved unit type is reset to the new unit. After that, clearing an encampment triggers the chance of receiving a copy of that unit that was set. According to the game source code, the unit type that Germany receives is set each the first time that Germany kills a barbarian in an encampment. The description of Furor Teutonicus is a bit misleading, since you don't always have to kill the Barbarian unit inside an encampment to activate the trait. Commerce has other benefits, but having one whole policy become useless really nerfed that whole tree.

now? its const a small fortune to get a handful of probably outdated schnects.

Used to be able to get all kinds of spearmen units from barbs and upgrade for 5 gold. They were one of my favorite units when Germany could just spam them early, but if you have to wait until you have 3 policies into commerce, then I find them less valuable, and you cant hard build them or upgrade to them either. Do you really need big ben? how useful are those landschnects (or whatever.).

Great for wide empires, even better for domination / wide.Ĭommerce. I feel pretty strongly that opening Patronage is a solid move, and placing additional policy points in there is also a good idea sometimes. This is pretty much impossible on deity, due mainly to over-aggressive expansion the AI does, combined with their aggressive barb hunting. The trick is to keep some open turf for barb farming all game long.

It used to be very possible to get 6+ free units early on from barb camps, but this number drastically declines with higher difficulties. Since the BnW updates, I must admit I have not used them much. I used to *always* open honor first thing with Germany. I have modified the section that includes the Liberty recommendation to include some of these points.īut Honor and Patronage are definite good options for post-fall-patch Germany! I also didn't have a chance to play Germany in any multiplayer games, so the strategies there may be different. But I didn't play such maps on my sample games, as I generally favor standard continents maps. On smaller maps, and maps with less land mass, I can definitely see that Liberty would be counter-productive due to the lack of space for barbs to spawn. But on standard and larger (especially pangea), it can provide a lot of units! On smaller maps maybe it's not so great, since there's less territory for barbs to spawn in. I've found that not having to build units in your cities frees up a lot of production and time for building important economic buildings and trade units, as well as reach for early game wonders. I'm not really sure that I agree with budweiser that the free units are 'incidental'. Good points about the merits of Tradition versus Liberty.
