Just happened to me. I had a grand total of one city and 2 warriors who were exploring when suddenly get the message and 4 archers start closing in on my capital. Needless to say it was game over. Which is a shame because it was a sweet map and I had some interesting war plans already lined...

Just thought I'd post here and mention that I'm getting that same error.

Unless it's a holy city, has a wonder in it, or will give me quick access to a new resource, I'll raise the city if it's going to be swallowed up by another civ's culture soon.

That was a close battle...

Are there still a lot of people who play RoN+the expansion online? Or will I go into the game lobby and only find 2 games? Thanks

Fireaxis released a mini-patch that fixes this. http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2314

You usually play on settler? :eek:

No copper, or have you just not researched BW?

Thanks for all the input. I guess being warmongering, I don't like starting isolated, and I don't like not having any metal to kill people with either. :p I continued to play that fourth map and its now 1600AD, Stalin is my vassle, and I'm first in almost everything except military. Didn't...

The map generator is making it really hard for me to move up to prince. Game 1: Continents. I end up on an entire continent alone. And it wasn't tiny. It was big enough to comfortably house 3 or 4 civs. I ended up quitting when the barbs formed a mini empire and built the pyramids. Game 2...

First, turn on gridlines. It can be hard to tell how many tiles there are some times. I'd move my settler SE onto the hill with a goody hut (watch the GH pop barbs. lol gg). I think that would grab the fish, but it's hard to tell without gridlines. Before doing that, you could also move...

I've never touched 'em an don't plan on it. As has been said before, it just doesn't feel right not playing from scratch. Take over a prebuilt empire? No thanks.

I'm curious what people do when they find that they're on their own contient with not other civs when playing on a higher difficulty (let's say monarch or above). I've seen that tech trading is crucial at higher difficulties, so what do you do if there's no one to trade with? Just curious.

Well, I finally decided to go for it and play my first prince game. I'd been winning on noble pretty easily and regularly, so I figured it was time to up the difficulty. So I'm now playing my first game on prince as Ragnar. I started in a floodplain rich area (there must be at least 10 in my...

You also seem to avoid wars. Warring is good. It gets you more land, which usually leads to the ability to produce more, and produce it faster. Generally, I go to war, somewhere around 1CE and then stay at war until I can't go on (i.e. war weariness is eating my economy). At that point, I...
