Now that RSG3.5 and 4 are underway, I am posting this to start RSG5 which will be a 20K attempt. I've never won by 20K so this will be interesting for me. This will be a C3C game. RSG3.5 is already the Babylonians, so I am inclined to go with something else. It seems to me that religious...

While playing the Anarchy game I noticed that fewer and fewer barbarian camps are generating each turn. They were very common in the early game and I sometimes had two per turn to plunder. By the Industrial Age I could count on about one camp appearing every turn somewhere on the map. The...

Welcome to RSG4! This will be game will be a NOW game (not sure what the initials are, but basically we kill civilizations in the order that we meet them and need always be at war with someone – whomever is next in line). Civilization will be Spain. This will be played as...

Okay, RSG3 is moving a little slow and I've got some time to fill as my story is coming to an end. XOTM is under control. I've been kicking around the idea of starting a Regent game in the hopes of attracting some new players that might otherwise not want to jump in at Emperor/Deity or play a...

Raliuven SG3 – AWE Persia Xerxes awakes one morning with cows trampling though his house. Unfortunately he awakes on the wrong side of the bed and things only get worse from there! Game settings Size: Standard Barbarians: None (per creamcheese’s request) :p LM &...

Okay, the last game was Emperor, so this one is Demi-God. Random draw of the Civ gives the Aztecs, not too bad. I did pick the map settings but I generated them randomly (the roll of the die) except for barbarians, which is raging. C3C Demi-God Size: Standard Map: Continents Water...

This is my first SG, since I have PTW only and can't join in the C3C fun :(. Considered buying it off Steam etc. but I want the CD. Only saw one on E-bay recently. What to do? Well, I am suggesting a PTW game. It is my first so I'd like to discuss setting. I am envisioning no variant...

Okay, I finally decided to stop being lazy and try to tackle my first Deity game. I felt pretty solid on Emperor and I am getting to the point where I feel the AI is moving too slow. I jumped up to Deity and stomped on the breaks. I almost always play the game I am given by the computer and...

Okay, I think this is a little more than a newbie question and I couldn't find any discussion on this. How many firebrand preachers are enough? It seems that the law of diminishing returns works to quickly undermine the value of a preacher. The first one or two are fairly powerful - put in...

Does anyone know how the AI uses the Forgotten Palace in PTW? I have never spied on all the AI cities to see how they place their FP. Do they even use it? If they do, how effective is the AI? Do they create a second core with their FP? Thanks in advance for any info!

Granary vs. Settler vs. Worker Test This question seems to come up rather often. Do you want to push out a settler right away or invest in a granary? How about adding a worker to your Civ right away to make sure the tiles are improved and Citizens are happy and productive? Is that a cow I...
