I know exactly what you mean! I've gone through the same thing. It's not just buildings either, I get really annoyed when AI settles an area I had earmarked for a city and doesn't place it perfectly or even when desert terrain "screws" what would otherwise be a perfect placement. Nothing...

I was building a worker as an Expansive leader and noticed that the 25% increased production only applied to actual hammers and not to excess food converted to hammers. I don't suppose its a bug but I'm not sure it makes sense?

To become a more versatile player I recently started using SE almost exclusively for my early-mid games. The trouble I'm having is keeping SE viable past Liberalism and especially past Democracy. In a recent game on Emperor I had a very strong early game where I got Pyramids early and kept a...

Nice post, I'm starting to learn just how important Civ politics are on higher levels. I lost my last game on emperor after playing a very strong early game because I played poorly politically. Playing on hemispheres map with random number of continets, I drew Gandhi and soon discovered I...

I think you might underestimate the power of this addiction ;p. As somebody mentioned earlier, optimal city placement is *the* biggest priority early game. For a peacemonger the ability to "block off" the AI in order to carve out a decent sized empire is paramount, nothing accomplishes it...

I felt the same way when Cathy lost Financial in Warlords :cringe: Or was it Creative? Either one.

Thank you for the replies, though I'm not sure if they helped or only served to reassure me how powerful Creative is :mischief: . I'm playing BtS atm usually using the new Kathy - Willem the Oranje. Major problem with Creative is that it's obviously alot less useful after early game, otoh it's...

Heya all, I've been lurking the forum for quite awhile now but haven't posted before. I recently made a transition to Emperor lvl and I can now beat it pretty consistantly but only when armed with a particular trait, namely Creative. After playing a few civs at random I realized just how...
