Lol.. I hear ya. I can't understand why this game ain't bigger and played by more players then it is. I have tested Civ V and its not even close to this game..
*cheers*
Get Col Asap to get the free tradepost in Thebes. Then expand from your 100g city and taken AI caps. Don't take settlers from Thebes.
If doing this right a non dom win in 500BC ish should be possible. And thats whithout playing the same map over and over and saving the game..
atleast 4...
A Chinese strategy! Jumpstart in expanding and teching with backfilling!
The Chinese Bonus + 1 pop in new cities is one of the strongest bonuses in this game. Lets see how we can take advantage of that the best way.
This strategy is mostly to desrcibe how to expand fast. In MP games you...
Yea Morte your list looks good. But I do think Egypt got their place in this list to. Also it depends if playing MP or SP. I would defently say that Japan is better then German in SP. This because the AI never rush you.
I read in another thread on civrevforum that what Cid Meyer wan'ted when he made this game was.. He wan'ted the player to feel that..
"No matter what civ I choose, my bonuses and advantages are so strong so there is no chanse of me to loose"...
Whith that said I would say Zulu and Chinese...
Yes you are a weirdo :D
Seriosly though. The + 1 pop is strong bonus. But many other civs have bonuses that are very strong to. Different but still strong.
Also when playing Chinese you always should take advantage of getting writing for free and b-lining to CODL. You will get to medival...
I agree that Egypts can be good. As every civ can be realy good. They can be realy fast in the beginning as we have been talking about earlier. However in the long run I still don't think they are the best civ in tech though. This game that you describe pretty much states what Egyptains can do...
I agree on that The debate of wich civ that are the best or most powerfull is is simply a bit ridicilous.
However its perhaps slightly more easy to see what civs are best for war and what civs that are best for teching fast.
China is one of the best because it leaves so many options. you...
Don't forget the best civ... The Spanish! :D
Its just learning how to use all the civs. Heck even the Mongols are quite strong if using their bonuses in the right way.
Hey Kadazzle
I only play Deity. This guide can also be used in MP but if so I would sugest to build 2 archer units ib capita quick just after researching bronz.
Gold I get from 3 things this early in the game when not having a goldproduction.
1: I always get more then 100 gold from...
The Civ rev is adapted to play online MP. This is why its more action, A game only takes a couple of hours, and is less micromanagement.
How fun would it be to play MP if the other player took 10 min/turn to sort and fix little thing in his cities?
I would say this game is a mixture...
This all sound like you build smart, conqurer early and expand fast.
However your numbers don't seem accurate. In what year does all this take place?
Lets say you had 8 cities just before year 0. In the year 0 the average pop could not be higher then 6. But more likely around 5. This is...
Spanish or Zulu.
Build alot of cities early. Around 10-15. Have atleast 5 cities on islands with whales, fish and dye. Have one primary goldcity with first market-bank-colossus, trade fair in it. settle an explorer here too if you get one. Have a few markets in 4-5 other cities on...
Hey mate..
A few questions..
How many cities do you have at year 0?
How big is the poulation in your cities(total pop)?
Do you have library in any of them?
How many dessert tiles do you work at year 0?
How many of those dessert tiles have the affect of an tradepost= 4 trade...
A few things on this subject.
I wan't go into what to do against rushers and what about defence and that. I will only put my opinion on the subject ..
Are Egyptians fast techer and can out-tech other civs?
Answer is: Yes and no!
I would say Spanish, Chinese, Zulu and Japanese are...
The gold rush! A Spanish strategy..
Hey folks! Many belive that the Japanese are the ultimate islands civ but here I will try to show and explain why Spanish kick their butt! This strategy will use their bonuses in the best way it can be used. Making your civ so wealthy that you can buy the...
