One time, I was playing with raging barbs and was lucky enough to get stone just outside my BFC (not in my BFC, but workable). I built the wall as quickly as possible, thus freeing up all my troops to go city hunting. I found a barb city in a particularly good spot, so I decided to take it...

Since when can you set the science slider to 95%? :confused:

Too far in the other direction. The human player would always be able to nerf the AP by being a heathen. A solution I favor is letting people say "Never!" to a diplomatic victory, then having all the other civs dogpile on that civ (with no possibility of a treaty; essentially, it becomes late...

Is there any reason your medic unit and your woodsman unit have to be the same unit? In my most recent game, my warrior got Woodsman III early (fluke, granted). I then used my first GG to create the standard Medic III chariot. Seems to be working pretty well. Just keep 'em in the same stack.

TBox-- I didn't realize how small the continent was. Yeah, then state property probably isn't needed...

Tbox-- Don't trade techs or open borders with Justinian! Murder him with extreme prejudice. I meant to make nice with the other-continent civs. They're all going to be united under one religion, so an AP victory is possible-- in fact, it's even probable, it's just a question of whether you'll...

The religion thing makes this an extremely problematic scenario. If tech trading is on, isolated starts are greatly helped winnable if the other continent is at war. With them all having one religion... ouch. I really think you should shoot for a diplomatic victory. The good news is that...

Are we sure that the AI doesn't use it? If its aware of the tactic too, then it's an even playing field.

In addition, it's been reported that your spies can even sabotage sea-based improvements while in a transport! If that's right, and your enemy's only source of oil is a platform....

Good lord. This is why I always burn the AP to the freaking ground.

I was in a bloody modern war with an A.I. It was on continents; I was now the sole occupant of mine, so it was time to pick on the neighbors across the sea. My first target was the most advanced, H.C. He had an island all to himself. While I was more advanced, I was largely outnumbered, and my...

:lol:. Your units would get the in-queue upgrade two or three times before popping out, especially in the early game. We started training a warrior, and ended up with a maceman...

There are 34 BTS civs, and 10 have mysticism as a starting tech. If you're one of those ten, that means there are 33 remaining possible civs, 9 of which have mysticism. Even if you play with a small number of rival civs-- say, 5-- the odds of you being the only one with mysticism are pretty low...

If you can found all the religions, then your teching rate is so far and above the A.I. that you're better off: A) Researching military techs and knocking the stuffing out of their longbows with your infantry B) Moving up a difficulty level :p. In particular, it seems like it would be almost...

It'll happen automatically. Just wait. :).
