Alright then, domination it is. Thanks for your help, guys. I'll keep you appraised when I am able to find time to play again (probably this weekend). Oh, and what exactly are you referring to when you mention problems with terrain management- the food thing?

Alright, so primarily I need to work more on spreading my various religions to my candidate cities and pumping out artists if I am going to get a Cultural win, or for Domination I should finish my beeline to rifling and immediately go on the offensive against Saladin. I don't forsee too much...

I'm currently playing a game as Suryavarman (Noble, Large size, Big and Small map) and thought I'd ask for some advice on choosing which victory type to pursue. I'm well ahead in score and most categories that count (except for popularity). However, because I've turned off the Space Race...

Actually, Bismarck had the Chichen Itza wonder (though when I wheeled my forces around to attack him I noticed the same effect). To your second paragraph, I've been accused of whipping too much at times to pump out units, which hurt my population level. Just how early should I rush the...

I've really been having a tough time adjusting to the much more aggressive AI in BtS (which I just bought, finally, last week). I usually played Prince in Vanilla, but I have been beaten repeatedly on Noble difficulty in BtS. My main problem seems to be that the AI expands much faster than I...

Yeah, I recognize now that posting here probably wasn't the best course of action. I'll try and bring this discussion to a close soon so that this thread can be un-hijacked :crazyeye:. You've already given me some things to try, thanks! He he...yeah, I realized my mistake a little late; I...

Sorry, I wasn't sure whether I ought to have posted that much info here or not (as this is the 'Quick Answers' thread), but I also felt that this question was not worth starting a whole new thread in the strategy section, so I came here. Here, I'll post the savegame: Some Notes, First...

In my current game, I am rather behind in research (Genghis, my most advanced and dangerous rival, has around five to six techs I don't, and I only have one tech he does not), and am having difficulty catching up. I have a large empire and army, so I could conquer nearby weak rivals and...

As far as I know the only way to change the game parameters midway through a match would be to go into the specific data file for that saved game and fiddle with it. (I'm not currently on a computer that has Civ installed, so I couldn't tell you the exact path) Of course, this could cause some...

I would be Industrious and Philosophical; I'm more of a thinker than an athlete or man of action, but when I do act, I work hard. Civics that represent me: Representation Bureaucracy Caste System State Property Organized Religion 'Course, in-game these are not actually my favorite...

The Mexican-American War: A Historiography Project I have to choose three non-fiction books (and four other sources) on the subject and analyze the authors' points of view. I have been writing parts of it today and it's going pretty well. What is really annoying about writing this paper is...

Somewhat off-topic, but: quill18, what option did you use to get your images to be that size?

Which leader would you say is the best for a (relatively) peaceful expansionist who prefers to spend most of his time teching up and building wonders? The whole aggressive-expansion thing always seems to end up with me being repulsed and way behind in score.

He's got a point. If Egypt had not been on there I would have certainly voted for Mali. Egypt (as well as Carthage, actually) was far more influenced by the Mediterranean than Africa itself, with the exception of the various times Nubia attacked it or controlled it.

What's a good way to to speed up the cultural output of a city, or to get more Great Artists? I'm working on a Cultural Victory in my current game, but would like to speed things up a little bit before the space race begins. Getting lots of Great Artists seems the best way to do this. In each of...
