I didnt fight any wars. Won space race in 1891, I think was the date. By that time Fred had destroyed the French, Peter was down to 2 cities, and the Mongols had 2. So Fred, owning pretty much the entire other continent, ran away with the tech race. And it was probably my fault, since I...

I win 99 percent of the time at Monarch, and some of the time on emporer. To win on Monarch (or emporer, as I've found), you don't have to conduct an early war, but thats probably the easiest way to win (if it works; if it doesnt, just quit). It helps to figure out what you want to do on...

Building (or I guess, not completing) wonders for cash is worth doing if you're overextended and have alot more production power than cash for research. Otherwise, I think your hammers are better spent elsewhere.

I settled in place; second city to the east because I could plop it down with access to 3 specials. Third to the sw for the gems. I missed the uber city spot till later because barbs settled there (and otherwise, the barbs were not really a problem since I fortified a few fogbusters). I...

Works for me too. Go somebody.

Ive got a radeon 9600. deleted/updated drivers as in Sorens suggestion and also made sure I installed the Dx 9.0c drivers from the game disk. I did a search for that D3DX9_26.DLL file, and it showed up in windows32. The game won't work.

I got frustrated after a civ on the other continent built the statue of Zuess, which I thought was safe to build in my capitol after ensuring the aztecs and incans had no ivory. So when Incas demanded some cash I refused because I was in an ornary mood, then had to fight them and the Aztecs...

WWII-- esp as Japanese, remember to use your destroyers to carry marines. The extra movement opens up alot of possibilities. No reason you cant grab manila and wake on the first turn. Use a fast Nippon to take the city west of bangkok, then take the second one south with the army, all on...

I'm playing Rome on RoR and switched to imperial government. I dont seem to pay any unit support though I am over the mimimum unit count, and I didnt see this list in the bug reports (though maybe its there somewhere). And if applies to me maybe it applies to the AI, and I'm not very much over...

I'm having my own problem, although I'm not sure its a problem or the game should play this way-- Every time an (formerly) Ottoman city flips, they get two musketmen instead of one. I was planning on flips, but I planned on just one defender to appear in each flipped city, which is what Ive had...

I played conquest class (PTW) because I usually play emporer, and was afraid of deity, but ended up pretty much kicking the AI's butt. I guess Deity is easy with a 1000 year head start. Now I kinna wish I'd tried open, considering how strategically awesome the start was (the chokepoint plus...

I had alot of fun playing the game, as monarchy is not normally a challenge for me to win anymore (thats not to say I come close to any of the good players here), but this was as tough a monarchy game as I've had because nothing went right-- no goody hut settlers Spain discovered philospophy...

I've played a few demi-god level games where I will have little or no military, and the AI has hordes of units all over my space, but the AI wont attack me when I am in the early expansion phase (when I have 3 warriors out looking for contacts/mapping and nobody at home). On the other hand, I...

My biggest dissapointment with this game was after winning a domination victory (at approximately the start of the AI, around 1200, maybe a little earlier), the guy with the hammer did not appear to ring the bell. I don't know why (first time I've completed a GOTM), and the game did not show up...

Sometimes I'll use fortresses if I'm playing a civ like the Byzantines and dont really want to take over the world, just keep a nice core (if you want to conquer, thats a lot of troops and worker turns sitting on a line you dont intend to stay there). I like to put forts on mountains and hills...
