There are a lot of natural wonders on the map, so explore with your scout class units (even the seas).

The first wonder to prioritize should be the Great Lighthouse. This allows your ships and troops to move 1 extra space which is a huge bonus on this map.

If you can wipe your starting continent before meeting players on other continents, there are no diplomatic penalties for having waged these early wars.

How about when playing as England, revolts on continents other than your starting continent spawn new civs?

I think the achievement actually requires the start of the Dark age to trigger the loss of four cities. This is my gripe, because I managed to engineer 7 cities ready to flip at the end of the era and the Dark age only triggered 3 of them with 3 more triggering at the start of my turn (so 6...

I am having difficulty with this one too. No matter what I do, I always seem to lose 3 cities. I have tried different difficulties between Warlord and Emperor in case the number of cities might increase with difficulty (it does not seem to matter). My approach is to take my initial continent...

Can you continue playing after winning and still trigger the achievement?

The end of the world as we know it Be the last person standing after comets begin falling. What are the criteria for this achievement? Should I eliminate every other player and then continue playing until the comets start falling in the late game? Or do I play through the last stages of the...

I really like getting a strong Petra city. I try to build this every game. After Petra, the wonders which give free policy cards are the ones I prioritize most often. As many others have said, the Pyramids are also good, but you can just as easily capture this from an AI that builds it.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! This is one of a handful of achievements I have not completed. I have never seen a betrayal emergency to join. Is there any way to get this to happen in a game?

The new rulers seem incomplete without any Steam Achievements to chase after. Is there any way to petition the developers to add achievements for the new leaders?

It does not appear that there are any new Steam Achievements. At the very least they should add an achievement to win as each of the new leaders. Perhaps a leader specific achievement as well.

If you can wait until Friday, there should be a lot of stuff on sale!

Apparently it is not. I own all the DLC, and cannot purchase the Anthology pack since I own all of the items (if I was missing 1 DLC, I would be able to buy the pack). I only have the option to purchase the Leader Pack for $19.99.

This achievement requires a city to produce 1,000 food per turn. What is the best way to go about this? In the city with the best land, I built farming quarters on more than half of the tiles with all of the improvements possible. The city population outpaced food production growing to 60+...
