Playing as Austria on a Emperor large continents map. I send a spy to Hiawatha's Capital, as of course he is the tech leader. Then I see his city screen! :eek::cry:

Hiawatha and Pocatello come to mind with their obnoxious non-stop expansion. I am also going to put Sejong in that category. Left unchecked, his science output is ridiculous and he just runs away with the game... :cry: What other Civs are really bothersome/competitive for us Civ players?

Ranged AI naval units should be able to capture cities just to make the AI's stronger on water maps. I often see the AI with tons of ranged naval units and just endlessly bombard a coastal city but not capture it, because for some reason the AI did not bring a melee naval unit...

Just won a Diplomatic victory on turn 500. Would have lost if not for that, my score wasn't very good. Still have yet to run out of time or get a time victory in all my hours playing. Feels good... :lol:

I literally had 6 out of the 8 AI Civs declare war on me, I managed to hold back Rome, The Celts, and the Netherlands on three different fronts. The other Civs were on a different continent. I did so well against Rome, I counterattacked and took all 3 of his cities. I tried to sue for peace when...

This is a tip and a story from my current playthrough as Assyria. As we all know, this game is very situational and this tip may not always apply or be possible in your game. But I try to do this in my warmongering playthroughs I usually always try to get a DoF with someone before I start...

I usually do, and try to do so. I usually won't start a game unless I know I have like 4 spare hours or so. I have a tough time having to save and exit the game for other matters of life. Then coming back the next day and trying to finish it. By then I have lost interest in that game and...

I do. Just wondering how many of you during war time, devote the majority of your cities to producing military when at war. I will immediately change from structures to units if I get a DoW on me. Only exceptions are if I am close to finishing a wonder, my budget is negative, or the city in...

*Map reveals only coast and ocean tiles... yay! :rolleyes:

You are still in the BC's on a Continents map, standard size and speed, and around 1000BC to 500BC you see the message that a civ has lost it's capital, two different times. A few turns after that you see that "Civs with the most pointy sticks" 1. Unknown 1352 2. You 673 3. Austria 601...

Hey all. Some of you probably already know and perhaps do this strategy. But I just felt the need to post this little tidbit. We have all been there, either conquered a junk city that was in the way, or got one from a peace deal. Not worth annexing, and quite frankly, little value as a...

Game is practically over by 950 BC. Naturally both of them declare war on you and tag team your 2 cities... :cry: :aargh:

*Has the full Patronage tree filled out. Receives these two messages on a turn. -The City-State of Kuala Lumpur has given you a new unit! *Receives Great Admiral. -As Kuala Lumpur requested, you have successfully created a Great Admiral! Their scholars are in awe, and your :c5influence...

Seriously... Even if I am peacemongering. I cannot remember a time where Elizabeth did not hate me. 1000+ hours of playtime and I come to the conclusion that Lizzy hates the player the most out of all the AI's. Sure, she can appear friendly, but she is always about to back stab and declare...

Thanks to this tier 3 Freedom policy, I won a Science Victory as Babylon. Persia had 10 turns before a Culture Victory, and was way too huge and powerful to stop with my military beforehand. But in 7 turns, I managed to rush buy the parts, and research the last space tech and buy that part, for...

Huh? Wu Zetian must have unlocked a secret technology to build 2 wonders at the same time in one city... Either that or maybe she was building the Hanging Gardens, got it down to 1 turns or so. Switched to Chichen Itza the moment she acquired Civil Service, completed it. Then went back and...

It's been a long time since I built this wonder, and I cannot even get to Civil Service before an AI finishes the Chichen Itza. The AI really does love this wonder, it seems. You'd have to ignore the worker techs and beeline straight to Civil Service it seems to get this wonder now. :crazyeye:

Played 3 games recently. It seems the AI will do continent to continent invasions more now. And the AI's build more naval units. The first game I saw Shaka successfully invade from his unified continent and take out the 5 city Shoshone on my continent. Was cool to see. The second game...

Just wanted to share a story and possible strategy for y'all. In my recent Emperor, Fractal, England game. The map that was generated was similar to a Pangaea map. In the late 1500's. France, who was on the other side of the land mass, asked myself if I would like to declare war on the Celts...

Hey y'all. Just a quick, curious question. So we know the latest patch put the good ol Fractal map into the standard map selection with Continents, Pangaea, Archipelago and Earth. So basically does the random map selection (Not Earth) also include the Fractal map in it's random selection now?
