That was way more awesome than it had any right to be.

Man I love that Eureka mechanic, makes so much sense.

Isn't the housing mechanic, in terms of restricting growth, a replacement for global happiness? I have same worry about scale as the writer, we might end up with no courty side bewtten cities,cities only working districts packed close very close. Will the maps be bigger to hold the bigger...

I had one game where my ally Tyre was right in between England and Rome, both of whom I was warring against. Both had fairly tightly packed cities with only one city between their capitals and Tyre. Tyre kept capturing and raising the near cities and Rome and England would keep resettling them...

But thats the nature of records, isn't it? The record breaking feats are always the ones where everything just clicks.

Where are these rumors coming from? When are they expecting the DLC?

Its a nice start no doubt but I've started to dislike these uber desert starts. Your early strat is very formulaic. Prioritise early religion for DF then rush Petra. If you hit those its game over.

Have you found yourself finishing off more games than before, especially loading up that save in the late game rather than start a new game? How about playing on even when it looks hopeless? I've been finishing more games for sure.I think the main reasons are late game politics and wars...

I keep hearing this "bucket filling" criticism but I never hear cool and fun alternative mechanics. Please name some games that have or describe what these alternatives might be!

If you know you're going super super tall it might be a good idea.

You know what? I completely forgot the did that. You're absolutely correct.

Yeah, I got civ iv for free. It was a really classy thing to do as an apology. Compare to EA's behavior after SimCity.

Remember when we used to complain about pathetic attack forces from the AI? Ok first attack, lame second wave, and then you could conquer then with 10 units. What we're seeing now is the fix to that. You can have legitimately dangerous but less frequent attacks or you can have lots of...

They cant just up the aggression on it own. It would cause civ to Dec in unfavorable circumstances. They'd need to change the amount of gold civs can get after losing some trade routes. Until they do that extra aggression would hurt the ai,turning early wars into all or nothing gambles. But i...

Tactical AI is still very poor in places. I had a small fleet of 2 subs, 4battleships and 3 or 4 meele. I was harassing the ais coast and accidently intercepted an ai fleet that was protecting a bunch of embarked units. The ai fleet was in position to destroy my navy but ignored it and continued...

This is almost certainly a coincidence but we'll see.

"It is too soon to say" -Zhou Enlai

He should play on Immortal+ (and probably Emperor on many maps) if he wants another reason not to go wide. The AI will dogpile you and your crappy 3 pop cities. I say this as someone who still likes to go with Liberty. Theres a fine balance between REXing,happiness and defense. Not to mention...

You realise this is a game right? Not a crutch for a broken ego? No insults please.

I can't get into a game no matter what I try. I go into Internet select a game, and then get kicked or everyone else does. Its borked.
