    Handle the (inevitable) Archer Rush

    I do. Need help, that is. I just moved to Monarch (on K-Mod, I've been there in BtS,v3.19). Monarch = Prince + AIs (and barbs) start with Archery. (Anything else besides some small multipliers?) How do you handle the inevitable archer rush? Versus a nearby Montezuma, we're talking...

    Help on Cities 3-5, please, and next tech

    Cities 3-5 Memphis is in an obvious location, I think. Was obvious even before horse popped where it is. I generally prefer more overlap for city 2 but the fish pushed it E. 1. Where can I put city 3? (I lean 1b) (1a) Forested plains hill WWNW of Thebes, can share corn and/or cow...

    Paying for Population, post-HR / pre-Lib(ish)

    Recently, I was inspired by this post: I took this to mean that, as cities grow (or are added), I have to move pop off of non-resource tiles (mines or farms) and onto commerce (cottages or scientists). In practice, what I do is lock down commerce tiles/scientists like I lock down resources...

    MC/P Gambit

    I'm playing K-Mod, at Noble difficulty (in BTS 3.19 I played Monarch and was 50/50-ish, at best). This question isn't about K-Mod, though, so it's not in that forum. I drew (random civ) Gandhi and realized he provides an excellent chance for me to practice the MC/P (Oracle/MC/Pyramids)...

    KMod Production-enhanced Buildings

    In the basic writeup, it is pointed out explicitly that Aggressive civilizations get a production bonus for Jails, and that Protective civilizations get the bonus for SecurityBureaus. I noticed in a recent game as Montezuma that the ChristoRedentor gets a production bonus for Spiritual civs...

    gold overflow never works for me!

    I use the BUG mod, which shows hammer overflow for whipping, and gold overflow when applicable. I've never observed the gold overflow BUG reports to go into my coffers. Here is one example: after both a chop and a whip, BUG is showing that I should have 100 gold overflow from this...

    City Placement Help

    I'm in that oh-so-typical place, moving to Monarch. I randomly drew Ramesses and was excited for an early unique unit. Of course, it's Pacal next to me (perfect resourceless counter to my UU). Fine, I can play the map. What I can't do is figure out where my next cities can go. To be clear...

    I = suck, you = help?

    1. Agreed. 4+ yrs of playing (off and on) means I shouldn't be stuck on Prince. 2. I always play Rand/Rand/Rand (terrain, sea level, civ). 3. In a previous life, I apparently raped the RNG's daughter in front of him/her, because he/she *HATES* me. To wit: RNG stabs me in the back #1...
