    Explain to me a scenario in which Police State is useful

    Late game, marathon war. Unit casualties in the hundreds. War weariness is unbearable. Jails in all cities, mount rushmore, and police state, = no war weariness. You can war for the rest of the game until you win. Combine with police state, workshop the heck out of all your towns, and have...

    Windmills or Mines

    Windmills when they first become available are pretty horrible. I do like riverside windmills after replaceable parts with financial civs though, as they give you 3 commerce even before electricity. This is the best use of windmills i've ever had.

    It's your choice to be wrong and ignorant. No skin off my back.

    A Skirmisher Rush...

    Skirmisher rushes work because they're cheap, and you don't need to hook up any secondary resources. Do it with a protective leader and it's too cheap.

    Post some map settings

    Try global highlands and arid climate. It's a fun map. It's not a flat map like the plain highlands script, instead it wraps and produces land masses like fractal. There are tons of hills, and tons of flood plains. And more gold than you've ever seen because of all the desert hills. You can get...

    Best Culture victory leader?

    Any civ that's philosophical or industrious. Since you can't be both, pick whatever secondary trait you like. Huayana Capac is very, very good. He's one of the best civs in the game. The quechas let you take out an opponent or two with minimal trouble. His UB gives you an extra bump in culture...

    Awesome traits, worst UU and UB in the game. He's good with unrestricted leaders though.
