I don't normally use the auto production in my cities, but I played around with it a bit in my last game. Got to the Industrial Era and set some of my newly conquered cities to auto production governor because I dont really care what they build. Usually I would just whack them on wealth or queue...

Hi all. I've just started an emperor game with Boudica and am in a bit of a dilemma regarding how to settle my western lands. Here's a look at my initial dotmap: I've just researched BW and the copper revealed on that SW tip has sort of made my initial plans a bit more complicated...

Okay, so I started a game with Spain the other day, and set up a snaky continents archipelago map with low sea levels. I got a great start as I'd hoped for, except for the fact that there are three peaks in the BFC. There is no way for me to settle a good capital here without having at...

Hi all. I'm looking for a bit of advice on how to go about making more use out of corporations in the late game. I usually play emperor/immortal on epic and will usually have a tech lead by the time the corporations become available, so there's no issue in being beaten to a corp by the AI. My...

Simple question, is there any way of knowing when the diplomatic victory vote will come up once the UN is built? Reason I ask is I currently have a game in the bag and could self vote my way to a diplo win, as I have around 65% world pop. I am just off a domination win but I'd rather avoid a...

Hi all, in my current game I'm closing in on a domination victory and am preparing to attack my next victim. I have my own continent, and am looking to attack Sitting Bull, who shares another continent with Isabella. Ordinarily, I would build a fleet of galleons, declare war, then unload my...

Playing as Zara for the first time at the moment, and wanted to test out that cool looking UU of theirs which comes with free Drill I & II promotions among other things. Now I've heard a lot of good things about people drafting these Oromos and having a lot of success with them, but I wanted to...

Say I start up a game on Prince--can I take the 4000BC starting save and somehow change the settings to make it Monarch? What about speed, like changing from Normal to Epic? Reason I ask is because often I get a really awesome start and know I'm going to win, and would prefer to play it on a...

Playing a game as the Dutch the other day; was tech leader with large empire and all the rest and by about 1600AD was heavily trading overseas. I had befriended Saladin, Zara Yaqob, and Boudica, and had around 4 trades going with each + OB. Anyway, one turn I hit [enter] and about 8 or 9 trades...

I was playing a game today and after being the first to alphabet I then started researching Pottery. When I looked around for trades, I gave Mysticism to Alexander for Fishing. I noticed that this took the time to research Pottery from 4 turns down to 3. Can someone explain to me why this...

I've been playing a game with Gandhi recently and have been swimming in Great Scientists since the start due to Caste System/Pacifism running most of the time. What I want to know is: what do you do with them all when you keep getting GSs throughout the game, particularly post Liberalism...
