Hey, I'm all for playing as peaceful a game as possible, but I very rarely see the AIs go full-on warmonger mode in any game, let alone when I get an isolated start. Yes, once you get above King level you can pretty much be assured that you're going to be DoW'd at least once per game, and that...
AiTenshi1 nailed down a lot of it.
Focusing on happiness is of course key; you'll want to gobble up every luxury resource you can get to and make construction an early priority so you can start building coliseums. It's also critical to micromanage your early cities and limit growth to what...
I rarely find game conditions when playing as Byzantium where it doesn't make the most sense to choose an enhancer as my bonus belief. If I've founded a religion early then it gives me a huge leg up on spreading it, and even if I just barely managed to eke out the last one in the game it helps...
Two questions:
1) You're using the most recent update of LEM, right? It sounds like you are, but you know I have to ask. ;)
2) Are you checking the "Load Scenario" button after selecting the map? Without that box checked it will load the map but default to random start locations for each...
It's a 6 :c5faith: 3 :c5culture: 3 :c5gold: tile that doubles in each category after closing the Freedom tree as well, plus of course whatever that tile produces without an improvement. It's a pretty strong option in culture games.
A Pagoda costs the same as a missionary & grants 2 :c5faith...
It is annoying at times, but I've learned to work with it. I'll almost always choose at least one building when I found my religion, and if I end up spawning additional GPs once I've enhanced it then I can either settle them for Holy Shrines or send them across the map to convert city states &...
Well hey, searching the forum works! :D
Noticed this a couple of times in my games recently. Methinks somebody forgot to write in the code to delete spies stationed in city states when a civ is eliminated from the game.
I'm going to take a shot in the dark & guess that this only happens up until you enter the Industrial Era. :D
Up until that point, great prophets are randomly spawned after you reach the minimum faith requirement (200, 300, 500, 800 on Standard speed). The only way to avoid this occurring is...
Babylon, for all the reasons mentioned already.
Carthage on a water-based map because it's basically a guaranteed win.
Polynesia on a water-based map because you can sail/settle the world while the AI is still trying to master triremes.
Spain if I feel like gambling a bit--if you find that...
This is true, but if you can get to Theology at about the same time you close out Liberty you can grab a great engineer for free & use it to rush the Hagia Sophia. ;)
Monthar covered most of the tips, except that if founding a religion is an important part of your game strategy you can...
Don't ever kill the barb guarding the camp with a ranged unit unless you have another one to walk in with on the same turn. Unless you don't want the gold, I mean.
I think the nays have it on this one, for the same reason we can't have so many other features in this game--the AI wouldn't be able to handle it.
In MP games this would add new levels of strategy to the end game, force players to build more varied defensive units, and all the other stuff that...
Where Marines would rock would be on an archipelago/tiny islands map, when built in a city with Brandenburg Gate. March & Amphibious right off the bat on a map which isn't exactly conducive to racking up promotions with land-based melee units.
