Just moved up to King difficulty, using this strat on a Continents Plus map. Had a great starting location (12 Horses!) took me till turn 95 to get Chivalry and another 10 to upgrade the Chariots to Keshiks. Once I got the war machine started though around turn 110 I steamrolled India, Russia...

Long time Lurker, Long time away from game, anyhow....I've looked around on these forums and haven't been able to find this sort of thread, not sure if there would be support for one, or if there is one and I have just missed it. Either way Ill give it a shot. Quick Question: Does the Temple...

Darius - Plays to his strengths (gold + Golden age), seems to try to maximze useage of his money to produce units while building wonders, Plays defensively until hes in a golden age...if he is and he outnumbers you...watch out.

Didn't Start playing Civ until III, but as far as Im concerned, the quality goes in order with the series 5 is better than 4 is better than 3. I LOVE the new combat system, on the harder difficulties when you get outteched its fun to try to repel a much larger force, or figure out how to...

Wow pigswill, what a comeback! :goodjob: i had that one completely lost...ive learned alot since that post, playing about a game a day. Ive got two space race victories and a domination victory under my belt now, but that one I had figured was beyond hope.

Attacked with Riflemen, and trebs Louis's defending units (4), were Grenadiers. Moving onto the terrian actually hurt me more than it helped, I landed on his shore and had to sit there for a turn before I was able to start attacking, i should have attacked from my ships or had at least 2 more...

No, I didnt, failure on my part.....have to remeber to do that next time im in a similar sitatution

With the botched intial landing Louis was able to put up a machine gun before I was able to mount a second wave of rifemen/trebs (no iron for cannon), so I lose and another game falls into oblivion ....Lessons Learned: 1) With a lack of hammers anywhere else but your capital you really have a...

Yeah, ive got about 7 destroyers now, declared war on Louis and moved in about 12 units, wasn't enough but ive got his coast all blockaded while I build enough riflemen to take Paris, think I screwed up that first landing prolly could have had it by now.. The good news is his almost his...

Rifleman are as good as Ive got now (with machinegunners in each city, but one i think). Planning the war now is prolly a good idea though, if I dont I think ill run out of time. no such thing as an inland city on this map, its so fractures you can almost go around the world in a fishing boat...

I got greedy with Lib, was trying to snag steel with it, but it backfired and light blue got it, I JUST got combusition (last turn on the save), map is pretty rough for resources everyone seems to be researching kinda slow...have built any modern boats as Im going to start actually hooking up...

So ive won my second Noble game (Space race, continents, standard size, normal speed). I had started the game with the intention of doing a domination or conquest victory but my ability to traverse the water and wage war from it is...lacking. In order to force myself to get a bit smarter about...

Yeah, guess I waited too long....to everyone else who responded thanks for the tips...im not sure i totally see the relationship between food and specialists though, is that so I can keep running more specialits without the city starving to death?

I just finally won my first Noble level game (space race victory around 1990 AD) (thanks to Orion from these forms for his noble level walkthroughs, they taught me a lot). Anyhow when i started this game as the Inca's I had read someone here mention a Quechua rush, I had gathered at the...

Thanks for the help (and the advice) I did a little more reading and looking at a few nobles save games, finished off that game, and sadly, was never able to to catch back up. my new game is a huge improvement. Thanks for taking alook GHP. oh and arid map choice was from "random" on sealevel...

Running with ceaser and i took out Jao with pratts very early....spread around and cut off the other civ on my continent but then he ecided he hated me while i was hogging up all the land and were about equal on tech...it may be a lost cause ...

Having a real hard time getting the yellow guys off my continent, and im behind in tech, and he wont stop the war, any help?

The Germans UU (Panzers) still haven't impressed me as much as I thought they should. Maybe im playing with them wrong but they seem so similar to a normal tank that it doesn't make enough difference.

Going to try to make a thread here so people can post thier thoughts and or strategies for any race's UU, good or Bad. This list is VERY Far from complete as I only know a few UU well enough to post my feelings on them. Incan Empire - Quechua - Replaces: Warrior - Used in an ancient age...

My latest game (which i just quit because i got shafted SO badly) Started out pretty well (Iriqious, regent, standard pangea map, i started the game with 2 neighbors on my peninsula, the french and the english, started a fight real early with the english and wiped them off the map. fast foward...
