    Substitute Team of Highly Skilled Players Needed For Realms Beyond Pitboss

    The title pretty much speaks for itself :) We started a team medieval-start pitboss game at Realms Beyond, with four 3 civ teams: http://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=100 Unfortunately, one of our teams is dropping out and we need a replacement team to keep the game...

    Overpowered Incas

    What's really fun with the Inca is to build the Great Wall :) At that point you're basically untouchable on defense

    Quick Question Regarding Naval Battles

    If a group of transport ships are attacked - some with units onboard, some without. Does the computer select which ship will defend at random? Or prioritize the ones without units onboard?

    Modern Warfare

    Not really a commentary on Modern Warfare, but Sipahi Cavalry, a dubious UU on their own, are simply ungodly amazing when upgraded into gunships. A gunship with +1 sight, +1 movement and no movement cost for pillaging is pretty cool. In addition to the normal anti-tank role, they're great for...

    New Patch - First Impressions?

    Mac User here, so won't have the patch for at least another month. Can anyone tell me the new strength on the longswordsman (16? 17?) and what it has done to warring in that era? With Construction added as a pre-requisite to steel, how viable is the early longswordsman rush now?

    Historical Game 1: Gilgamesh

    I'd consolidate your vultures and rush Brennus, but definitely go for his capital first and try to catch him before he gets archers online. If you are unable to take Bibracte, it should be able to pretty easily to take Tolosa instead and then either A) vulture choke his expansion or B) make...

    1 space available in high skill PBEM

    KyanRB - Would be very interested in taking a spot in this PBEM, however, feel I may not be best suited. The highest I ever beat Civ4 was on Immortal, my experience playing against other humans is extremely limited, and I have never played a PBEM game. I have lurked on Sulla's page...

    Historical Game 1: Gilgamesh

    One more quick thought in deciding who to rush (or maybe both?) Hammy's favorite civic is bureaucracy, so once you tech to civil service it will be pretty easy to keep him at pleased (provided you run bureaucracy, of course). He has a dynamite UU on the defense and will be very hard to kill...

    Civilization 5 Rants Thread

    Welcome to Deity my friend! :king: I feel your pain though, experienced something similar on an Immortal Game where I was getting all my iron from my city-state ally, Monaco. Augustus Caesar bought off Monaco to ally status with him, then declared war on me in the same turn - making my 4...

    Porcelain Tower.

    Whenever Civ5 Mutliplayer gets to the point where it's not a clickfest (would love to see pitboss added) The Porcelain Tower and Rationalism could add some interesting dynamics to gameplay. Would you, as a player, be willing to make an RA with another human-run civ that netted the Porcelain...

    Early AI / CS Relationships

    I thought you needed to be friends with the city-state before you could announce to protect it? I've never had that option before getting the city-state up to 'friends' status. Of course, I could be blind as a bat :mischief:

    This is just ridiculous

    It's an annoying game mechanic, but hardly a broken one. As many times as the AI has used it against me, it can be used in SP to great tactical advantage. I think the AI also may needs it to remain competitive, the combat AI is so pitiful as it is, that I don't mind a boost like insta-heal...

    Historical Game 1: Gilgamesh

    Sorry, lol, forgot the difficulty level - I usually play on Emperor where the AI starts out with archery. But in that case, YES VULTURE RUSH! Whip that food heavy start to the ground for 2-4 vultures! I still believe pyramids could be a sound play, if you hook the stone up quickly (with a...

    Historical Game 1: Gilgamesh

    A couple thoughts: 1) Brennus and Hammurabi are too far away for an effective rush I feel, and Hammy's UU pretty much precludes an effective pre-catapult rush against him imho without suffering significant casualties. 2) You should move your second city one tile east, make the city coastal...
