    Worst Civ in the Game??

    That doesn't make sense. If Keshiks "rule" in MP and also "rule" in SP, what does it matter whether RR was talking about SP or MP? Anyone who reads here at least semi-regularly knows that RR's posts are frequently strange and inaccurate.

    Worst Civ in the Game??

    Byzantium can be strong. My best games on immortal as them have been ones with a coastal start shared by many other civs. You build a large dromon fleet then get to work taking city after city in the classical era. Sure they lose their U when you upgrade to galleasses, but by then they will have...

    WTF Maria? AI votes for my Ideology

    I sometimes propose something I don't want for a positive diplo modifier if I am reasonably sure it wont get up. The AI sometimes votes against its own proposals too. I'm not sure what diplo modifier you get for helping it vote down its own proposal.

    Hottest Female Leader

    She reminds me of the scary girl in elementary school who smelled funny.
  6. Q

    How many of you 'cheat' when playing single-player?

    How does repairing an enemy improvement help your allies? You must tell me about the times your computer cheated by reloading. :D The UI sucks. Quite often I find the camera switches to position X where unit Y is, I hear the unit Y sound, but Y is not the selected unit.

    Hottest Female Leader

    That's one of the perks of getting old. The women all look younger, especially with your glasses off.
  8. Q

    How many of you 'cheat' when playing single-player?

    It's a part of the game they put there on purpose. Why else would they let you repair enemy improvements? So I don't see it as cheating, but I don't do it much. Without an agreed definition of what is SP cheating I think the thread will generate more heat than light. To me cheating is trying...
  9. Q

    Dear Firaxis; fix ideologies they are broken.

    Autocracy looks to be the culture leader. Which ideology is most influential with you? are you managing things like borders and trade routes to cut unwanted influences? If you keep up your tourism and culture that -25 PO should slowly improve. I think rage quit is premature. One strategy I have...

    New Era teching bonus

    Standard play seems to be to race to Renaissance to open Rationalism, yet I sometimes finding myself fighting to avoid it so I can buy another cheap building, especially if I have sacred sites. Am I crazy? Spelling's not your strong suit, is it? :D

    Announcing: AI-Only Civ Tournament

    It does confirm the idea that the Iroquois are one of the strongest AIs.

    Hottest Male Leader

    How did you fail to mention Ahmad "djellaba tent" al-Mansur? Big nose, big scimitar.

    What do you think of the Russian Queen ?

    I feel that if I lifted her crinoline I would find creaking gears, belts and pulleys.
  14. Q

    Are you restarting often when the map doesn't seem so great ?

    I would find the game more interesting if the economics were more realistic. I think most people would. Creating a market isn't very difficult, and having resources trade for vaguely realistic prices that vary according to the situation would take away some of the "Hollywood set" (facades with...
