Probably Germany. I would start off being unaggressive, staying small to see what the new AI has in store for small, human controlled civilizations. Then I would change to being militaristic in the industrial age and run everybody in my vicinity over. This way I will have some worthy opponents...

Attack is only used during interception. That's why bombers don't have attack values. Thus, the plane being intercepted would use it's defence value in an air battle.

Balance of power. Oh yes. I make sure noone strays too far and takes over the world just like that. I even deliberately make decisions that weaken my own civ so I can get a challenging scrap with the other countries.

When you REALLY don't want a culture flip to happen, just reload an autosave and move 1 unit out from the city. This forces the game to get a new RNG value and you can keep your city.

Rhye's of civilization. Rise and Rule doesn't even come close.

Hee! Everyone seem to think they're smart!

He's dancing! That's so cute! (awesome animation quality BTW)

I never use armies. They break the game to the point where it isn't fun anymore. From being the weakest to getting an army with which you can smite even the most powerful foes and come out on top of the histograph and... Well that's just not how it's supposed to work, not in reality and not in...

Hmm, I always thought Sid AI's started with 3 settlers :confused:

I've noticed if you have a flawless reputation, the AI will stay in alliances longer. I once allied with 2 civs against a common foe. And they both stayed at war with him for well over 20 turns. That was when I had a flawless rep.

Ision underestimates the good UU's and overestimates the crappy UU's. And also he describes the effects of the traits in every review... This is getting tedious -.- By the way. The Keshik doesn't have defensive bombard.

Standard or Large. And then lots of civs. Usually so I can't build more than 4-6 cities in the initial expansion phase. I like it that way, less cities to manage and more competition. (No less than 20 civs for large map)

A younger James Bond.. Who can compete with the likes of Spiderman and Keanu Reeves? I'm skeptical.

In my last game (very enjoyable), I built the Knights Templar. I must say I really like the Crusaders. After a while my entire border was ridden with fortresses and barricades which made it really hard for enemies to invade later in the game (even though i had one tile spacing between...

3 wasted shields to 2 wasted shields in that far-away city can make a 10-30 turn difference on those temples you need so badly in the ancient age..
