you could always put the globe there. Shakespear will have them forget their homeland.

I'll have one fertile city that I'll set up as a leader mill from the begining. Thus it will have farms in nearly all squares. Early in the game I use slavery to rush wonders for the leader types I want, before I can keep a significant number of people happy. I usually don't do it until I can...

Another civ can only convert to your state religion IF they have a city with that religion.

I think it's perfectly reasonable for a war torn area to divert to a third party with massive culture. South Korea anyone? I think people are confusing Civs, which are basically nations, with states. Or something.

Alright, I'll play yas. Small world is about all I ask. (I hate having to manage many cities.) So what is that Eastern Standard Time? 2PM? And that mod might put us out of sync (see thread below)

The units have zone of control over the entire tile. That's probably much to large an area. There are many chokepoints that are only 2 or 3 tiles.

There is a defensive pact, that pretty much shows the world you're in a block. I think it requires nationalism? Not sure.

Swordsman exist to take out those initial archers. However, If you can get them shock they can be pretty effecient with Axemen as well. On the other hand, an axeman with shock is pretty sick. Your best bet their is to try to enduce them out of a city and run them over with some form of...

Well, the best is a work boat. No pop loss and super food. But one has to be pretty lucky to get a good coastal start.

The only change I'd really like to see is the ability to build a pagan temple. Perhapse it can go obsolete with Theology, but I do think it should be possible. I don't think it would unbalance anything horiblly. In fact it might make health come up more often.

Try some military units.

It can be usefull to use a Great Artist after you take a Barbarian city. They are usually in open land and it will prevent another barb city from spawing too close. I used this technique on a Terra map to help me get to Domination.

Rub her feet she has to sleep eventually. But for you, sleep is for the weak. Oh, and find cheap things to do. They exist- like a good leftist coffe shop you can hang out all day in for the price of a cup of coffe.

Yeah, I don't get this one. Playing civ for a long time, if anyone is silly enough to declare war early on- its my new goal in life to take their capital. Especially because in the early game a single archer can defend a well cultured city.

Well, I've seen perpetually small kingdoms surprise me with a space race win. So, I'd say it's pretty dead.
