    Power Plants? What are they?

    Just a small note, 3GD only provides power to other cities on the same continent, so cities on other continents/islands will need their own power plants.

    Axemen over Swordsmen

    The axeman would still have the advantage: Swordsman vs. Axeman * (1 + (melee bonus - disadv from swordsmen city raider bonus) 6 vs. 5 * (1 + (.50 - .10)) = 6 vs. 7 That doesn't include city bonuses or fortify bonuses the axeman probably already have too.

    Spearman and the Battleship

    Unless these 1000 men were lining up one at a time the 3 machinegunners wouldn't stand a chance. Just by sheer numbers even unarmed, 1000 men would completely overwhelm 3 men with even the best small arms weapons.

    Musketeers

    I think they're pretty good when used in combination with catapaults, they're one of the few early units with the anti-archery promotion which are used to defend most early cities.

    Immortals

    Yeah, you're right, what type of promotions can they get? If they can also get the archer promotion then they'd be worth it, I believe pikeman are the first units that have that promotion available. Just a thought because it's a pain to take any cities unless you have units with seige or archer...

    Immortals

    If they're %50 against archers they would make better early siege units than horse archers because most early cities are protected by archers.

    WoundedKnight's Strategy Guide (Revised)

    Great article WK, I have one question though about your suggested city specialization. What's the purpose of the culture specialized city? If you're going for a culture victory wouldn't it make more sense to spread those buildings out to the 3 targeted cities?

    Marketplace/Bank

    Correct me if I wrong but I think the reason markets, grocers, banks, etc say they increase "commerce" rather than "gold" is because they increase the gold generated by everything, not just the tiles (which includes trade routes, religious buildings, whatever)

    how do you undo rally-points?

    You can if you Ctrl-click a unit, it will select all the units of the same type in the stack. You can also Shift-click to group together units of different types. Once the group is made just clicking on the tile should select the whole group.

    Difficulty guide (what you need for moving up difficulties)

    I think in that particular case it might have more to do with who your neighbors are than the difficulty level. Aggresive leaders like Montezuma and Genghis Kahn will always be pestering you unless you're constantly giving them stuff.
