    How is not choosing FIN not suboptimal?

    I admit that I am not a high skilled player and you are way higher in skill but that doesn't mean that you can just dismiss other's opinion like that without giving any explanation on why it is "wrong". I'm sorry but that came out a bit elitist for me (especially your pre-edited post, which I...

    When are the Moai Statues worth it?

    From my current game as Hammurabi. Hemispheres map and was stuck with Louis XIV in semi-iso. Paris, as shown here, is one of the examples of a Moai site. Since I plan to UN this one, I think it's a good idea. If I plan a space game however, this would probably my NP site.

    How is not choosing FIN not suboptimal?

    Though I agree that a technological lead trumps stronger unit-promos, I think you are forgetting that CHA also gives a higher happy cap early on. Since one of the main problems of the early game is happiness, it's good that you get at least one early (or two if really needed). Resource trading...

    FLEECING the AI for gold!

    Hmm I see. There's really no way but to wait it out. Thanks!

    FLEECING the AI for gold!

    ^oh it was you who wrote that article. I have some question on the GPT cap the AI can trade. In a Shaka game some time ago, I tried to do what you have said in your Strategy Article (as written on the Sevopedia). I gifted Mehmed 2 GPT (he originally has 1) but nothing happened. I read some of...

    Speeding it up

    Restarting the game for every 1h interval helps enough. Running the game for a long time will slow it down for some reason.

    Best YouTube playthroughs?

    56 hours is quite a lot for someone watching AbsoluteZero's Deity Plays. Like to watch it though since I still screw some openings and mid-game management for me to confidently move up levels.

    A Question About Random Personalities

    Uhh no. Victoria is still IMP/FIN regardless of personality. On the other hand, Victoria with a personality of Catherine seems like nothing changed (from the viewpoint of Catherine) as both of them are IMP, which explains the REX.

    How is not choosing FIN not suboptimal?

    Just for the record, I like FIN too (a second only to IND as my favorite trait, so guess who is my favorite leader.) I think it's because of its reliance to CE and CE isn't that good if enemy manages to pillage your precious towns. Also, not every map can generate a cottage-friendly map for...

    Emp Monty Iso - Help needed

    Fixed. To OP: You can just tech Polytheism instead for Oracle since it also unlocks Priesthood if you plan to bulb Astro with GS. LOL :lol:

    When are the Moai Statues worth it?

    I got a bit confused on what your point on raising a Moai/NP combination in your first post when it was not even considered before your first post in this thread. Looking back at it, I rephrased the thread wrong and I implied an NE/Moai combo, which I also consider an odd combo myself. Anyway...

    When are the Moai Statues worth it?

    Well, no doubt that is strong in certain situations but it comes with some investments/downsides such as: - Preserving the jungle instead of setting up a cottage/workshop spot that would have contributed to the empire earlier on. - Rush-buying NP can be costly due to it being a wonder (can't...

    Production cities in Beyond the Sword

    I concur, well except for drafting which I don't trigger happy with that much. Even if going to space, those whipped cities will recover fast enough to contribute to space parts.
