Eek! It might be espionage. Other than going nuts with my own science how can i combat it? i've got spies in practically every city, secruity bureaus, etc. I did get one alert a little earlier that an infiltrator had stolen the secret of refrigeration. No duh, it was darius. i know because i'd...

Unless a major setback hits me, i'm probably going to win my latest game as the ethiopians via spaceship. I share a continent with Gilgamesh, Ramesses, Darius and Wang Kon. Darius is the closest in score to me but Wang Kon, last i looked has a border city with a lot of cavalry in it. I've...

Yeah, i forgot about toku. But as others have said, he's more of an annoyance than a threat of any kind. i've NEVER seen him do a damned thing. he just kind of sits there like a rock and every so often makes a demand that can be easily ignored. I only had one game where he opened borders with...

Glad you got that out of your system.:rolleyes: But you got it wrong, since Hitler isn't in the game its more like "Boo Hoo Hilter's not in the game. Lets make another in the 3 gazillion threads about it to complain.". there fixed that for ya.:goodjob:

Yeah, I didn't include monty because he always attacks. No subtlety....you KNOW he's gonna DOW no matter what.

You know, IronCrown, Jazzmail and Airefuego, we should take your last few posts, combine them and put them in a big fat flashing sticky at the top of this forum. Because too many people will always keep going on and on about how Hitler has been unfairly cut out of the game. Its like a freaking...

The Korean Guy...Wang Kon!! He's an uber-wuss sneaky backstabbing jerk. He begged for a vassal spot with me once, too. after I kept ragnar from killing him he unvassalized himself later when Genghis came knocking on MY door. Jerk.

In another thread I was expalining how I think my current game woes are due to interfernece by Wang kon and the last thing i typed was "I that guy!" as if he was a real person. It made me think, I really do hate that guy. every time i see his weaselly fat face in a game I know he's gonna be a...

Sorry, the AP thing was in response to Refar, not you PoM. There was no buddhist AP because I had built it. I may not have explained this clearly...the AIs of Ramesses and Gilgamesh both initially picked Judiasm, my religion, but then changed to Buddhism. Perhaps Wang Kon spammed them with...

Maps are even more useless than "experience". Getting an XP boost from a hut is okay, but you know, if I'm not getting a free tech I'd like some money. :D .In the early game I try to grab up as much cash as I can from huts to fuel my economy. I'll run with a 1 or 2 gold deficit for awhile to...

The AIs don't have the AP I do, and neither Gilgamesh or Ramesses had a religion until I hit them with mine. Wang Kon, who I've always hated to have as a neighbor anyhow, must have gotten to them somehow. It wouldn't bug me as much except that I went out of my way to cultivate a friendship...

This I don't get....I'm Ethiopia. I founded Judaism. I'm the top dog on my continent with Darius, Wang Kon, Ramesses and Gilgamesh. I spread my religion to every city Ramesses had, and gilgamesh by contact became jewish. Wang founded buddhism. But for apparently no reason the "friendly"...

One2tieyourshoe, I want to apologize for accusing you of trolling.I shouldn't have been so easily irked. your initial post did seem inflammatory, but I think you were just asking for advice on the game mechanics. Anyway, I think the only thing you can do is to go Theocracy as I said before. But...

How effective is the scotland Yard building that a Great Spy can construct. I can recall having it, yet still getting multiple spy warnings and some of the annoying poisoned water supply attacks. In one game the warnig flat out told me that the Dutch had just stolen Calendar from me. Does SY...

Considering the entire Mao/stalin/Hitler circle that always comes up, i agree. i'd like to see Mao and stalin freakin' removed just so the AH stuff would go away. I don't think russia or China needs another leader and if they do, thean, fine, pick some one else, even if its someone only a...

The thing is, you'll want to hit the AP city hard and fast. The AP resolution to stop the war can come up fast and you don't want to give the AI time to build up its forces if you get thwarted. Is the AP city a holy city?

hmmm...i try to place cities so that the BFC's won't overlap, maybe "touch" but not overlap. Of course it depends on the lay of the land, but apparently I could do better. As another poster mentioned, I guess i do go Wonder crazy early on. I'd like to have as many wonders as possible, but...

You're right AfterShafter. When i was a kid we still had civil defense drills in school telling us to hide under our desks unless the commies bombed us. Up until the wall fell down one of the cadences we used in army Basic training was Drill sergeant: What makes the grass grow!? Platoon...

So, I started a new game again, and as the Native Americans I don't think I'm doing that badly so far. I share a continent with Pacal, Frederick and Isabella. Izzy, of course will DOW on me sooner or later. I'm trying to expand and keep a good tech rate, but I'm probably doing the same things i...

I'm on another PC right now, so I don't have access to the save. But i'm fairly sure I screwed it up. I seem to be able to come out strong in most games at the start but i lose it by the middle ages. I think some of the reasons are this... As soon as I meet AI civs I concentrate on cutting...
