In my experience not 6, not even 5, but it needs to be 4 to be insta razed. It might depend on defensive buildings however.

You scared me there for a second. I am not sure what i was expecting you to say next after this, but it was panic inducing. :D

Yes there is. Make swordman, destroy mine, your swordsmen become much weaker. It goes for all units needing resources.

I thought about that idea but imo it would be too much annoying. If we use it, the AI has to be adjusted to use it too. Imagine having a fleet of bombers and the AI insta kills all your oil mines at the start of a war? You can't even post anti air to protect the tile since they can't be...

Yes but they can rebase almost anywhere on the map, same range as xcom drop I think. So all you need is a beachhead. :) Nice times guys. :goodjob:

Sounds like after 3 pages we found the answer. :D They are similar to fighters then, now we have to compare a normal fighter sweep to sending a missile, even if them taking an air slot in a city is very annoying and brings them back to being useless.

Sounds like an oversight, what prevents us from getting open borders and spamming railroads on AIs territory to tank their economy?

I do it all the time too, even use railroads to send new units to the front when dealing with AI unit spam sometimes. it is a must on all maps and significantly improves your warfare. The only issue is that it is easier to build them than remove them and railroads can nosedive your economy for...

Nevermind I am a silly person. I haven't played this savegame for a few days and forgot i had sold 6 aluminum to someone. It should say that in the resource overview though "2 aluminum, 8 total, 0 used, 6 traded".

I have a single aluminum mine. When I put my cursor on the aluminum icon, it says "8 aluminum, 1 hammer". Yet I am only getting 2 aluminum. If I put m cursor on the aluminum ressource at the very top, i can read "2 aluminum, 2 total, 0 used". Is this a bug? How do i force the game to...

Oh I didn't factor in the observatories, in this case you'r better off staying on 4 cities. There's something to be said about 2 coastal cities feeding each other, even late in the game, but with 2 observatories you'r set and should not have to deal with happiness problems if you can avoid it.

Looks like you found your 5th city spot. :) That will make your science victory easier. Make sure to send a food ship. And yes the spot is pretty amazing and you should go grab it before someone elses do. AI has been known to send settlers across the map for spots 3 times worse than that. ;)...

Ahhh, so everything dave said still holds true. Good to know! Thanks for testing. :)

I did some testing this morning. It seems the "one turn overflow" rule is wrong, there is no 1 turn limit. If you make 81 hammer bombers on a 50 hammer city, you take 2 turns per bomber. If you keep making them, you will eventually make a bomber in 1 turn. Meaning those extra 9 hammer have been...

Breaking your promise will have consequences with everyone, including those you haven't met yet. For a 4th city i would consider the coast, since you don't have one and you need it for good trade routes / money. However if your relations are not good with other AIs, staying full inland has its...
