Well done, guys. I'd have never said that Strauss would be capable of an overall peaceful game. Amazing you did it :goodjob:

We also lost the game on monarch with the Mongols. In the end India was far too mighty. Or was this STR-01?

You're the leader, Strauss. And thus as I would do in every honourable fight under a worthy leader - I lay my sword to thy knees. Such, now that my deadly blow of victory has become yours, we were all winning under your command. :D Now at this particular best of all moments I want to...

Option #2 sounds sane. +50% culture in the citiy that builds it still is a killer. More than the a golden age with double GP points would bring, even though a (possible) additional great artist would be +5000 culture.

I guess you are, Straus :lol: I'll be not available until Tuesday. The Saturday thereafter I'll be going to the east coast for 2 weeks (holidays, beautiful season for this ;)) So if there's still a set to be played between Tuesday and Saturday I can play. Though I believe you guys will win the...

Seems like this time you calculated perfectly right [party] What was even more sneaky is that I played within 2 and not within 48 hours :lol:

1690 AD (03): Rifling is in. I decide to go for Scientific Method first but alter this decision. Corinth still has its last monastry to be built. As Sparta won't build any cultural buildings again (too weak), I decide for Chemistry first which, on our way to Biology, is okay as well. The mosque...

Got it! Playing now 20 turns.

"unfortunately" a great artist. Bad for a 3-turn revolt, great for our goal. What did you do with Michelangelo? If we have only 150 turns left, settling is'nt worth it anymore. If 200 it is. What do you vote for? :lol:

Whar do we need 2 wonders for? The later you build wonders the later they pay off. Paying off means that they have to give the same amount of culture in the end if you'd had no production but invested everything in artist specialists. A wonder would only be reasonable with an Engineer because...

Sounds like :eek: !!! I modded my game away :mischief: And yes, military should be No 1 priority now. After this monastery thing. We still need like more than 200 turns to achieve legendary with the first city. Maybe wonders are really useless (as they're expensive to build). Employing 2...

There's a simple rule with wonders in civ. When the wonder is important and you have the chance to speed it up - speed it up! Because in the end you could loose by one turn and notice you could have done simple things to speed it up. Whipping is a no brainer - chopping is not, because chopping...

Good set. I hope we can finish Taj Mahal. If we get a prophet within the next turns, as I said, we might want to trigger a golden age to ensure we build it more quicker. An engineer would be a no-brainer as well. We could use the golden-age then for any further revolts. That's what golden ages...

I never heard that either. I built the Apostolic Palace twice, but I never noticed this, neither did I look after its effects.

Uh no! Thext player should pay more attention to correct spelling :lol:
