Now that I am in a city that has internet, I want to get in on this league too.

There are also a few groups on steam where committed players (skilled non quitters) congregate. I enjoy the game much more in MP than SP now. Firaxis really needs to fix that MP lobby

Do Great Generals not work for ocean units?

We ARE discussing MP strategy and tactics so while I AM critiquing this particular opening, I also am not saying that ANY strategy (mine or yours) is the end all be all of openings :). I think the advantages from a GL->HG do set you up well for the mid-game. However, it is my experience that...

And right when I had mastered my Deity/MP play, I have to relearn it all...good times

I have been winning a lot with this build order in MP FFA lately. I think it is much more balanced of an opening than going all in on wonders. Build Order: Scout, Monument, Granary, GL, Warrior, Settler, Settler (2nd city builds warrior first for iron upgrade, third settler as necessary for...

Yes it is the same

Well first off, I think you should turn off both promotion and policy saving. Promotion saving for sure. It makes wars unfair and unfun. People tend to just save all of their insta-heal promotions till they are outside your city. Just sayin...... I would go for tradition to landed elite...

You are going to have problems in any MP game if you are using a large or huge map. MP generally runs better with fewer players. To answer you question, this last patch did not address any multiplayer issues but I would bet that the next major patch will be MP-focused

Like the others said, don't pay too much mind to the AI getting to the next age. All you have to do is research one tech from that age to "enter" it Now if they are TWO eras ahead, then you should be worried :)

I am definitely down for this if you two are

I'd be down for sure. I'm free Saturdays if you are

Hey all, If you are interested in playing a game without quitting after you miss the Great Library, or the like, let's do it this Saturday. I am up for ANY game type, any victory setting. Let's flesh it out and get our Civ on.

I think it means that AI units won't walk up next to your units just to pillage. They will pillage tiles in undefended areas or on the outskirts.

You can't. There are several sites popping up to organize MP matches though.

It happens but usually only when there are 4-5 barbs around your city whi.ch usually happens with raging barbs. When it happened to me it blew my mind as usually the barbs just march around your city chasing workers and pillaging.

Hey all. Who would be interested in a game tomorrow (Saturday, December 4th)? Max is going to be six players and we can use this thread to flesh out the game settings and logistics. Let me know. Beginners welcome (so long as you don't quit).

For a challenging, yet not overwhelming game, why not make it 2v3 or 2v4? On a big enough map you could even go 2v3v3 team game. I've played both and my brother and I had a good time.

Any player that has played more than one multiplayer game can easily counter any rush. The advantages for the defense in this game can not be understated. Building cities with defensive terrain such as forest and hills, as well as tactical use of mountains and rivers can pretty much stop an...
