hahaha true story

I have tried this myself, but I find personally it's best to monitor the diplomatic relations and growth of other civs and occassionaly get your hands dirty. If you have an overagressive AI that is dominating then it may be in your best interest to lend a helping hand to put them in check. You...

You ultimately determined your spot was not ideal and would rather move it elsewhere. How would that not just be one of your first assumptions lol. I will even give you an example. I put a city down near some marble for the wonder production bonus. Later as it developed I realized the...

My gunships can capture a city and I have never upgraded one from an anti-tank unit (All bought in city screen directly) *shrug*

Or the irony when some pathetic civ becomes friendly terms with you but finds it necessary to bring up a dialogue to remind you how you are their favorite 'city/state', when it's clear you are dominant and could crush them lol. Always the little guys!! :king:

I'll try the proxy war approach next game, they just never seemed to settle the city/states in a strategic place for me to make good use of them. I ended up destroying every civilization using my squad of combat gunships around 1895-1908, YEEEHAW (Oh yea I was American lol) I swear one...

Wish that were the case here, my filesizes never exceed 1.2mb though and they are pretty consistent. Now on Turn 950+ and still having this issue. If I start a new game it's blazing fast and responsive again, but over time I'm sure it would do the same thing. My 950+ game takes almost 2m to...

Same exact problem here happening under similar scenarios (late game during my marathon games during the scrolling) Very annoying and now having to save every 2 turns because it's so volatile and can lockup at any moment during a scrolling event.

Thanks for the input. So there is basically no reason to ever give something for nothing it sounds like. I have yet to have a single Civ agree to form even a pact of cooperation with me after kissing their butts for ages. (Hundreds of turns) Mind you all of these civs are way less powerful...

If I trade with an AI Civilization but essentially gift the item to them (like a resource but ask for nothing in return), they tell me they graciously accept. (I also hear like cheering in the background) I consider this greasing the wheels to try and gain influence with them, but is that...

Hey I know you guys are having issues with the bloating, but just for another scenario I have been playing a marathon game for over 850 turns now and done plenty of saving during my game, occassional reloading inside the game, and obviously over multiple sessions. My game has stayed just...
