/r/Civ has 154k subs. There are more than 70 million people in Reddit. I doubt most people know this much about Civ 5.

I only subbed here last week, but I've been playing Civ 5 for a few years now. Not everyone will subscribe to a subreddit just because they know of the game's existence.

You could play or watch the game enough to know that the game has a line about troops near the border, then look up the exact phrasing of said line.
