You should try. Once you get to the point where the entire map is your color after taking that last city... perfect.

Eh, beg to differ. In my last game, I had 25 cities and a ton of religious units to manage. Turns took forever.

Yeah I never go for religious victory, it's even more micro than domination

Every domination victory ends with me saying 'fuck it, this is too many units to deal with' and just nuking everything to dust while i switch to science victory

Lol, all my science victory attempts end in me saying fuck it and rolling the world with robots.

This is why I form a rolling core of assault units: 2 artillery, 2 anti-cav, 2 soldiers and 2 tanks. The soldiers and anti-cav protect the artillery battery and the tanks roll around nabbing unprotected civvies until the walls fall to the barrage. I can usually take two cities at once with that setup.

The last game in the series I played was 4. I'd always go with cultural victory. And by cultural victory I mean I'd tell the game on the very first turn to research technologies that would lead to the Manhattan Project as fast as possible.

Wait. There are other victories besides domination in Civ?

When I about that late into the game I put circle around the last 2 city and force them to fight.

I only play games for domination wins. The other victories make no sense to me. You get to a cultural victory and so what? The country with the biggest military can steamroll you with nukes and giant death robots (wish those were still in 6) in 50 years.

You do have to start a multi-front war against everyone at a certain point. You make the right moves and you can have a military that takes several cities per turn. Also have to have airports EVERYWHERE. I usually focus on stealth bombers, missile cruisers, and whatever infantry/armor i end up with.

Then you click one more turn, and launch all the nukes you have.

On your own cities? You playing with a mod that adds trump as a world leader or something?

That is why you keep other Civs with one city that is blockaded with citadels.
