Agreed, I always the demographics as well. I always them to hell.

Not entirely true. The whole purpose of National Wonders is to give small, tall empires, especially OCC a chance to compete with wide. You generate a ton of more science and gold with a wide empire, at the cost of more culture for SP's, which if you're going for science, you'll have plenty of...

Didn't happen to me either. Selected 1 GE, that's all I got.

Haha I beat you by a day to it.

He built the Hagia Sophia as Arabia and it allowed him to select 2 Great People. How more specific can he be? I'll try it later today and see what's up.

A good one is with the Aztecs, use Monty, build nothing but Jaguars from the start and research to iron working. Take some honor SP's, get the free liberty worker, when you connect iron, take the nearest city and upgrade everyone to swordsmen. Dominate the world.

All units I believe within 3 tiles of the Great General get a bonus to combat when attacking or defending. It might be 2 tiles, not sure.

. . .without the AI's all getting pissed off and declaring total war, might I add?

I skip the scout sometimes, but in those cases I go Monument first. I'd rather get a 2 turn head start popping goody huts without having to worry about terrain, maybe snag an early tech or pop. And I generally hate when my warrior gets upgraded to Spearman, which for some reason is ALWAYS the...

For those of you who didn't have Civ3 also note that the Forbidden Palace was a National Wonder.

You get 1 science for 1 population, so you either want a couple of massive cities, the consensus usually being around 4 without having to suffer through physical depression, or tons of small cities, although economically, you'll have trouble maintaining all those libraries, universities, public...

Seconded.

CS's don't generally do much I'm afraid, unless Spain is openly wasting their units attacking them.

Also, anyone else think Seville is just the most crushingly useless city ever settled in Civ?

Gosh that looks tough. You could bombard with a trebuchet from the top right grassland next to your pikeman. I'm guess you have no access to that ocean, so no galley bombard or any useful amphibious attack. However, you definitely out tech them in military and you could wipe all their unit out...

A vertical approach with the honor tree also works well, of course, especially with guys like Monty, or even Bismark, as you could potentially gain a ton of culture recruiting your warrior army.

Help my warriors crush Barbs with a flanking bonus.

Forbidden Palace corruption reduction helped, but wasn't too good. When you get to communism and start laying down Police HQ's, then it started to pick up, although I'm trying to wrap my head around how a Communist Police HQ helps to reduce corruption.

They've got a beef to settle. TO THE DEATH!!!!!

Haha I beat you to it, but a quick search shows that someone posted something like this even way before I did. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=426775 You definitely need to settle your first city on the old world before moving out, just build it tall as hell, fortify it, and...
