... Willem is researching fission whilst the rest of the world is still missing such things as replaceable parts and chemistry? :sad: I myself have those, but rifling is still a dozen turns away... hell I can't even STEAL techs from Willem fast enough to make a difference!

:( I struggled with this one. Great start! But after the first dozen turns or so, it turns out to be a bad, bad situation.... I eventually rage-quit halfway into the game. If anyone could give this a go and tell me what they did to win I would certainly appreciate it. I'm very...

Hey Civvers, I really need to get my act together. I'm a solid monarch-level player (most the time, heh) and that is kind of my relaxed difficulty level. I can win Emporer and Immortal matches before, but those are always a huge struggle it seems like. Diety I'm just kinda meh, about...

Does anyone do this? I have an interesting scenario where I can turn a nearby 4-city mini-continent into a colony. I have been previously milking it with TGLH, but since Astro came in its not all that useful to me... it doesn't really supply me with any special resources and isn't...

Just had my personal best -- Monarch, small great plains, normal speed. I am Sitting Bull. Having just swiped the MoM from Toku in a mid-game war (I couldn't hardly believe he beat the other AI to it, hah! Side note: I'm now definitely a fan of SB's archers. Made for some sick Drill3...

Hi all, boredom post :) So I decided to have a beer or six and play well below my skill level for a quick rofl-stomp yesterday evening (epic, prince, pangea). I rolled a nice start with Hannibal featuring floodplains and two riverside golds. Turns out I hardly needed any of those to win...

Qin apparently was like, "f&%# it, I don't want it anymore. Here." He's been my vassal for a few dozen turns, so there's that. Never had a civ just gift me a city without it being forced by AP or UN or whatever, tho. Especially considering it had a strategic resource. Anyone ever have...

Is there a way to keep the city governor from running (or NOT running) particular types of specialists on a city-to-city basis? ie, when I'm trying to run scientists for a GS, I don't want to come back to the city and find some dirty spy specialist clouding up the GPP pool...

Dunno if this is anything people have thought of before, but it is interesting nonetheless. Of course it requires one to be SPI, and be running slavery, and have random events on. I suppose it works if you're non-SPI while in a GA, too, but the chances of those lining up are pretty rare...

Sorta proud of this one, although it was on a difficulty lower than I usually play (hey, I was bored but not really in the mood for a lot of micro and fierce competition) So here's the setup: Standard, Pangea, high sea level, Prince difficulty. I am Cathy of the Russians, and my opponents...

1) Does Wall St. amplify religious shrine income? 2) Does it amplify income from any settled great people or specialists? 3) Does it amplify gold income from the Spiral Minaret? Thx! :D

1) Barbs launching an amphib worker raid: 2) Ragnar scoring a culture win... oops, forgot that screenshot. #1 is the more surprising to me, anyways. In the countless zillions of hours I've played BtS, I've never seen barbs get off a galley :crazyeye:

So I have me an important decision point and several things I'd like guidance on in general. I consider myself a fairly seasoned player but there have been some things I've always wondered about. I am Vikki of the English (random selection), playing a huge marathon terra, prince difficulty...

I just had the strangest game... The Sid-gods gave me four quests in a single game -- Classic Lit, Master Blacksmith, Best Defence, and Triremes. I hardly seem to ever get even one quest, let alone four. Not only that, but Cyrus got (and completed) Horse Whispering, so that makes at least...

So... I just had a game where Monty wiped out WK before 1000 BC (taking Seoul, the buddhist holy city)... then about 500 years later launched an amphibeous assault with jag warriors and galleys on my confucian holy city -- and sacked it undefeated :cry: He was "pleased" with me. We shared...

So here's the scenario: I DoW Izzy and Willem, taking about half their cities both and vassalizing them as soon as they capitulate. They are on a continent halfway around the world, so maintenence on the captured cities (8 in total) singlehandedly started costing me around 100gpt, something my...

Recently there was a Screeny Of The Day that featured a GWall that was only 1-tile wide. This inspired me to see just how great a Great Wall I could build, and I thought it would be interesting to see how impressive y'all's best Great Walls are. I usually only get it around one or two cities...

So here's the deal... I'm at war with poor petrol-less Peter, which means my destroyers and battleships have free reign to blockade his harbors and take out his frigates/SotLs/galleons/ironclads at will. They suffer the occasional blimp attack, but the destroyers are doing a pretty good job...

So my generals apparently want a source of bronze within Ethiopian borders, but the city its next to was taken by Zara from the Egyptians in a previous war (Heliopolis, I think). Why my generals covet bronze when my knights, CG3 Berzerkers and trebs are cleaning house, I'll never know, but I...

You'll have to excuse me, I only discovered the "blockade" function yesterday and I'm a little excited about it. Playing as Rags with an awesome start on a prince, epic, standard fractal map. Turned out to be a two massive-continent map, with me and three others on mine, and just three on...
