Spoken like a bad scientist: I assume it works because I have never tried anything else to compare. We're not talking about researching all the policies or even a significant number in any of the 3 just a few key ones, for a jump start. Saying it works and proving it does are two different...

Yeah we all have real lives unfortunately, genuinely interested despite my skepticism to see how this plays out, you may well be right. Your logic seems pretty good. I'll probably end up seeing if abandoning all 3 early policy trees pays off myself. I play on King atm, but then I've not got...

Make sure you compare it to a game where you take favourable policies, like the extra city and the GP for quick tech or wonder or both, try not to let your personal bias make you do stupid things like settle in slightly the wrong place. Personally I can't see how you can make that much culture...

Mean but true. I mean come on, do we really believe that you can gain an advantage with no policies until x. Just not going to happen. Just isn't whatever the difficulty setting. An extra city very quickly, doesn't scale through time, oh come on. I'm willing to believe you can ignore most of the...

Do remember though most signatures are not worth reading. Self serving, and full of plagiarised nonsense, the person probably just likes the sound of. My usual signature on forums runs something like this: <insert pithy comment by forumite here> <insert another pithy comment, which is funny...

Kill all humans works for my rage. Yeah its basically because it has to for the game to work, so suck it up soldier. Many games don't have to create such hugely diverse environments, or deal with such huge modability issues.

No its pretty stupid. But meh its his game. A free settler or GE is priceless. skip filling the whole tree if you want but skipping all of them is strategically dumb IMHO.

Be good at the game, cozy up with real people who will tell you how to get the most out of any civ, in obsessively precise detail. I think the political and diplomatic victories are easy, as is the space race. The ultimate test is world conquest on Diety really. If you can do that then you are...

Now you can buy tiles its less of an issue, but as said not too far apart. Although sometimes this is unavoidable if you badly need a resource or luxury and none are close.

Give me liberty or give me death! I believe someone else said that once, but this is serious! Seriously though I almost never go anything else, because I am a divide and conquer type of guy. It's not about what's best it's about what suits your personal style really I think.

Yeah yeah there are several ways, whatever floats your boat. I don't use forum uploaders for imgs, quicker to use my own hosting site. And those tiny little screens they use just piss me off tbh, that's assuming the site has a decent upload speed. Sometimes it takes ages to upload, although...

You need to sign up to a hosting site, most are free they will allow you to upload a screen save picture to them and then all you do is link the url on the hosting site. To do this highlight the url, and click on the insert image (yellow mountain icon) post options which will wrap tags around...
