    Roman problems in noble

    Some my opinions: 760: 3680 BC Rome has been founded? :wow: First city should be founded on 1st or 2nd turn. Rome and Antium are building monuments, which is usually needed only for the first border expansion. Waste of hammers (if not Charismatic leader). Quite much unhappiness. If you...

    Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

    City size of 4 is defended with a chariot. Barbarian warrior tries to pillage my mine, so I attack.. and lose chariot with 95.6% winning odds and city is undefended. I whip 2 citizens for an archer. Next turn I attack with archer and lose again with 98.4% odds and city is empty again... I whip...

    Emancipation unhappiness is probably the best guess, but we can't be certain without a save or atleast some screenshots from your city views.

    Where to go with this?

    First, I would stop building muskets since enemy already have grenadiers. You also have quite many cities building units without barracks, which isn't very good use for hammers. Build barracks and stables and start training cuirassiers. Otherwise I don't see any bigger problem in your...

    Once again: Shaka m u s t be insane

    No change? I would say Shaka has no change. I managed to destroy Shaka's main stack in 8 turns and now I am launching counter attacks on two fronts. Shaka is already willing to pay ~3500 gold and to give back city of Phoenician. This is how I did it: Start Golden Age with one of your...

    Slavery

    Inefficient or not, it is still a lot more efficient than losing wonder by just couple of turns. Unless I am 100% certain that I am able to be first one to finish a wonder, I will use slavery to finish it, no matter the cost. Citizens will regrow, but with wonders you don't get second changes. :)

    Quite funny way to start a game at emperor difficult level: (4000 BC: Bronze working, 3925 BC Animal Husbandry) Feels almost like cheating. :lol:

    Chicken Itza: What is the point?

    How about adding defence bonus against enemy spies for all cities from Chichen Itza? It would be like having stationed spy in every city until CI obsoletes. Or ~10% EP bonus to all cities? There is no wonders affecting espionage currently and most of players agree that CI is not worth of its...

    ALC Game #22 Pre-Game Show: Playing as Saladin

    Actually they have only 15 % change to retreat. It was lowered in BTS to compensate flank attacks. Higher change to flank attacks has nice synergy with protective trait: Destroy siege units with flanking attacks and then hide behind cheap walls and castles with City Garrison longbows. If we...

    Great Person City help

    Usually your neighbours capital makes a very good GP farm. They have both good production and usually multiple food resources. And in some lucky cases, world wonders. Here is screenshot from my GP farm in my last game: Incas kindly built the Stonehenge and the Great Lighthouse and then...

    Modern warfare - some questions

    Destroy everyone who might threaten it. :) Seriously speaking, battleships are good choice and have atleast one medic promotion in stack because enemy battleships causes collateral damage. Station some fighters to nearby cities and give intercept orders for them to prevent enemy airforces...

    Wimpy gunships?

    Let me guess, this happens only when playing settler difficulty level and enemy is still defending cities with bows when you reach gunships?

    Very early barbarian attacks need to be patched

    Random barbarian events make copper even more important than it was previously, which is not good for game balance. Barbarian spearmen spawn near border = Very easy to handle with axes. Swordsmen spawn near border = Easy to handle with axes. Axes spawn near border = Quite easy to handle...

    The war weariness is killing me!

    Remember: Jail -25% WW Mount Rushmore -25% WW Police State -50% WW Total: -100% = No war weariness at all. If you plan to wage war on mordern times, fascism is must since it allows two of those.

    Strategic Leader Trait

    Free commando promotion would be ridiculous overpowered. That's why it requires four other promotions (Combat I,II,III,IV) before you can pick it.
