The Menelik exploit will create a ridiculous amount of CO2 from all the Soothsayers, so use that strategy at your own risk.Ĩ. If you have Gold to burn, you can levy and relevy to get Era Score, probably near an enemy civilization for the extra one score (or two if you have the Taj Mahal).Ĩ. This is a lot more specific and not nearly as useful, but repeating unassigning and reassigning Amani will also break a levy that you have. This also works with any source of instant culture in the middle of a turn, such as Pillaging, or chopping out the Moon Landing.ħ. It can be useful to stall for some time before triggering a Eureka, saving you some extra Science.Ĥ.
While it won't be doing something as powerful as free government changes, I believe this can also work with Technologies as well. You can use this to stall barbarians by baiting them around with a single Great Person.Ģ.
As in, they attack the unit and just sit there, even if they still have movement and an attack remaining. If an AI unit chooses to attack a civilian unit, I believe that they won't do any other actions for the rest of the turn. You can also do this with Great People, which might be better because Great People can just teleport away. I wouldn't really call it an exploit, it's more about the AI having an odd prioritization on when to attack and when to stay. This way you can gain an envoy every 3 turns. When it became a free city, take it back.
Settle a city near other civilizations for -20 Loyalty and chop out an acropolis. Greece ( Pericles, Gorgo) gets +1 envoy whenever you completed an acropolis. I think that's why after about 3 times, you discover a new hero. since each envoy has 10% chance of discovering a new hero, each time Amani reassign, there's 20% chance. Or delete the 'hero discovered' notification to see the pop-up when you discover a new hero.)Įdit: you don't need to have suzerain. But you can check if you have discovered a new hero in the production or great people screen. 'Hero discovered' screen also doesn't pop up most of the time. (Note: A new hero will be discovered only after 3 suzerain shifts (6 reassigns). In all three cases, I settle 4 cities near them.ħ.You can discover all heroes in one turn if you use Amani to lose and gain suzerainship multiple times in one city-state. From left to right: Accept, Refuse, Escape.
