I managed to get Losing my Marbles.... but not It Belongs in a Museum. For Losing my Marbles, just go after a Civ with lots of territory... there has to be at least 5 sites. It would help to complete the Exploration policy tree to get hidden antiquities. For It Belongs in a Museum, I...

I do not think it means what you think it means.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but my icons for workers, work boats, and barbarians have already changed. I set my game to skip the opening movie, so I don't know if that has changed too.

I second this. The Arsenal of Venice was a precursor to assembly production. It was known for its efficient and high-quality shipbuilding.

I'll probably play the American Civil War scenario as the Yankees, capture Richmond, then take a screenshot and send it to my buddy from the South. :goodjob:

Why isn't there a voting option for indifference?

So I finally managed to take Constantinople at turn 161 to get the achievement. I parked three cannons outside the city and took out the city in about 4 turns. Luckily all the galleasses and xbows focused on the xbows I placed in and around the city. I had to fight off a push from Theodora...

Thanks for the info.

This was good advice. I started over and immediately moved my swordsman to Jerusalem. By the time I got there Saladin DOWed Jerusalem and weakened the city enough for me to take it. I took the city, but Saladin DOWed me soon after. I had been fighting him for over 100 turns, with him...

When I played as the Celts I focused first on eliminating England. I had a feeling that England would incessantly DOW me, so I wanted to get rid of England ASAP. I don't recall how long it took me to eliminate them, but I do know that I destroyed them just when France was about to settle in...

I am working to get the achievement for conquering Constantinople (Istanbul?) as the Ottomans. Only 3 more achievements (including beat the Mongol scenario on deity, and defend the Roman Empire on deity) and I've got them all. I'm trying to do this before BNW comes out. I'm not much of a...

Why does it have to be a tomahawk? It could be some francisca wielding barbarians sporting eurohawks stiffened with Iron age hair gel.

Now I'm the one who is being crass.

What, is this a cross-examination? I don't get to ask questions? I don't want to get into the semantics of my hastily-typed usage of the word "re-emerge," but here is my short version for a long, nuanced, and complicated answer. It will be composed solely of nouns. Usury, liturgical...

Ha, then what is it an example of? And don't bring the Canaanites into this answer ;)

If you frame the question to ignore their influence on major world religion, they aren't that much different than other smaller cultures in the ancient world at that time. I just think it is crass to frame the question like this. It makes it seem that you think religion does not matter in...

That is a great point... They essentially been conquered repeatedly (by Egyptians, Babylonians, Romans) but have regained their independence and re-emerged as a sovereign nation. Modern day Israel is just another example.

I'm just trying to say that there is more to Jewish culture/civilization than being the foundation of Christianity and being routed and scattered by the Romans. Being a foundation of Islam is just one.

I think Carthage could be thrown in this category too... Personally, I think a Israelite/Israeli/Jewish would be a nice addition to the game. I feel that Menzies comment was a bit crass.

Islam incorporated many things from Judaism.
