I've only gotten above Churchill twice, and both times I was losing until the late game and then I came back and won Domination victories (Deity Level). I don't know if the come from behind victory gives more points, but every other game I win where I am leading from start to finish I usually...

I'm glad to see that some people have tried this out. I found that it was very fun to play this style and was a good change from the standard... I had great success in Deity with this strategy. I think Egypt might be really good for this strat as well... just find some desert paradises and let...

Also ships are great for guarding(or blocking!) important sea resources. This can be very important during war...

I gave it 4 stars, I think it's a great addition to the civ family of games, but it loses a star because the game has many little flaws that probably won't be fixed because this is a console game...

OK, so I had this idea for a different strategy yesterday, to focus all my cities from the start on Gold production, no science, just to see what would happen. I figured I could buy whatever techs I really needed, and the main tech for gold producing, Currency, I could get as a bonus for...

I must agree with CrimsonEdge... the Mongols do not suck and they are very superior for controlling the land grab phase. I personally do not go for all out production (but will try it out later) but find that the early expansion capabilities make it very easy to out tech/ out produce your...

There's no way to upgrade units, except through Leo's Workshop - or by using the Germans bonus ability... it kinda sucks.

I have seen them all... once you play long enough you'll get them all. Also, during the credits, after you win, it will say how many of the civilizations you have beaten (i.e. 16/16 meaning you have played against and beaten all the civilizations).

As far as the AI goes, Sid Meier said in an interview by Apolyton.net, that they designed the AI to be aggressive and annoying on purpose, so that the players would get more satisfaction from beating them in the end. Kind of like getting revenge in high school on an elementary school bully. It...

The AI definitely "cheats" at higher levels... but that's the only way to make them competitive with a human player. Even with the cheating the AI is not that good. So if they want to keep throwing spawned legion armies at my wall of archers/pikemen that's fine with me (thanks for the...

I beat the AI my first Deity game with the Mongols. It was actually my first game with the Mongols, but my strategy was to get as many cities as possible early via the Barb Huts (their bonus ability). Basically by doing so I had 7-8 cities when they only had 2-3, I then concentrated on defense...

A nuke, when used properly can turn the game, so if you can get, by all means get it, but make sure you have a plan for its use.

The game is not like PC civ but its not meant to be... the aggressive AI sucks at first, but it teaches you to build good defenses, plus the AI is not that threatening, they have no idea how to orchestrate a good attack. So at first you might feel beat down but once you get used to it you just...

On Deity for me, early rushing has not worked... but if their is a civ close to me and I can get to them before 2600, I will try to rush a warrior army. After 2600 I've never had success...

The trick to beating Deity is to not get too far behind in tech/cities... you need to make a concentrated effort to expand early and not let the AI take all the good city spots (using choke points is great while expanding). Remember to focus most of your cities on Science and build libraries...

Settlers would be better, but this is still an extremely good bonus. I easily won my first game as the Mongols on Deity (Domination Victory) because I was able to expand so quickly and get an early tech lead. The problem is adequately defending the cities, but if you can, you can quickly seize...

hook me up...

Yeah, but subs still suck because they only have 2 moves... they should either make them invisible or give them extra moves, then they would be worth building IMHO.

I'm pretty sure that you don't get the bonuses... I think they should change that so that you get whatever the terrain would give, bonuses included...
