I use them if a map has natural bottlenecks I can exploit. The into the Renaissance scenario is the last time I used them. I was playing as England and the Celts were constantly trying to attack me while I was off on my crusades against the Muslim factions. I didn't have the resources or...

The Great Admiral's "improvement" seems slightly weaker than a GG's; however in the right situation if you are willing to sacrifice it can make a huge difference. I've been playing on an archipelago map even when I bring in a massive naval force unless I have a city state or ally nearby it is...

So huts do provide faith sometimes. I knew it. I was playing as the Byzantines and people kept founding pantheons and I could figure out how they got their faith so quickly. I didn't get one faith hut. By the time I got to found my pantheon my options were pretty limited. Fortunately my...

But this metaphor is flawed. In the case of the candy bar Wal-Mart gets nothing because you stole it. In the DLC case you got to play Spain for months before anyone else did so there was still and exchange and thus no stealing. You may not like the exchange but 2K isn't stealing from you...

Do we know how Spain is included? Can you only play them in the scenario or do you get to play with them in a normal game without having purchased the DLC? If you can only play them in the scenario then I see no problem. If you can then it is slightly annoying that the releases weren't...

While I wouldn't be surprised to see it, I'd prefer something from Oceania/Australia, the Americas, or even Africa first. The Middle East is represented by one civ in every era already and I'd love to see a never before done civ.

These anti-religion posts are ridiculous and this is coming from an atheist who tends to think the spiritual aspect of religion does more harm than good these days. Like it or not mystical/spiritual beliefs have been a part of civilization since its inception and organized religion played a key...

The only reason its a minority opinion on boards is because most of the people who are loving it arent concerned with frequenting the forums theyre concerned with playing. If I wasn't sitting here in a classroom doing nothing (tech support in case there is an issue but there arent any) I'd be...

Registered just to comment. I've played every civ and expansion except Call to Power 2 and Civ Rev and this is hands down my favorite iteration already even without expansions to fill out features. There are obviously some bugs I've experienced but they are manageable and will be patched in...
