    When, if ever, do you put workers on auto?

    I used to only pair in 2 also, but then I noticed that on epic speed which I normally play on a road takes 3 turns to build... So I've learned to not group workers, but I will still run them together, I just issue orders to them seperately. So for example, if I have 2 workers build a road, on...

    Need help in game at pivotal juncture ...

    Navy Seals are probably my favorite unit, not sure why because they aren't preatorian like or anything... But I really like naval hit and runs and seals are PERFECT for it. First strikes + march = nonstop destruction. Ideally when I use them I add in a couple carriers and load the carriers up...

    Need help in game at pivotal juncture ...

    1st off... Navy Seals!!! :ar15: A lot of the AI cities are on the coast so you should have no problem knocking down your biggest rival when seals come around. What I would do is try to colonize those large islands ASAP. I guarantee you the second any AI gets astronomy they will be FULL...

    test your opening play

    I'm with you, I wanted to know exactly how this was even possible... So I tried it taking hints from his research path and log. Here's my detailed results... BTW, since I'm not nearly as skilled, I reloaded a couple times to get better results! Not ashamed to admit that I need the handicap to...

    test your opening play

    Protective only benefits archers and gunpowder units, so Wang Kon is actually a good target for a very early war in lower difficulties.

    Defying Resolutions

    What's the point of doing that? If anyone defies a resolution it doesn't pass. If your idea is that you'll be able to build nukes but they won't, it's inaccurate.

    Defying Resolutions

    I'm not sure how many turns it takes, but the -5 modifiers to go away. Something else I noticed was this... I built the UN, Ragnar was elected (really pissed me off because I was +15 or better with him the other largest civ), I defied universal environmentalism. Next election came up, I'm...

    test your opening play

    *RESOURCE SPOILERS IN IMAGES* This is a really good idea, so I went ahead and took your offer to play to 1000bc quickly. I don't expect my start to turn many heads, but I think it's respectable at least. My first build was a quecha, while I researched fishing. I was planning on building a...

    Looking for Screencaps

    Here's an example of a high production city: I don't have stages of it, but it's not hard to explain. Basically, a production city needs enough food to support as many citizens as possible whilst throwing down mines on the hills and workshops on the plains/grasslands. This one is one of...

    Thoughts on my first emperor level game?

    Here's Hammi's territory and the trade that could be for philo. :lol: His capitol is the buddhist holy city.

    Thoughts on my first emperor level game?

    Thanks for posting your thoughts, it's appreciated! You're absolutely right about workers. I was hoping to pick up 5-6 from mansa, but was only able to get 2 to come over to the darkside. As far as civil service I just got it this turn, so thats why farms arent more widespread. I only...

    Thoughts on my first emperor level game?

    As per the title, Im playing my first game at emperor difficulty after having a number of monarch no-brainer wins. I'd like some thoughts on the current state of the game and where I stand. I feel like I got a good start and just finished a successful campaign against the tech god. At the same...

    GG and Medic III

    From another point of view, I awlways use my attached GG as a combat unit. The first promo he gets is +100% xp. From there it's the medic promos (including march, so he's always ready to attack). I've had GG's reach 250+ xp. Every game I have a GG with over 100 xp.

    ALC Game 18 Pre-Game Thread: Playing as Isabella

    I only want to say how much fun I've been having with the Cuirassier, what I've been doing is building up trebs in preparation for taking nationalism off liberalism, then researching mil tradition/gunpowder and conquering 1 civ. While busy doing that I research up to steel and reinforce the...
