Barbarians could have plundered it. Or the trade route that was established was interrupted. Let's say you built that road but it goes through an enemy AI's territory. Once that AI officially owns that tile(s) that the road goes through, your road is broken up unless you get open borders.

I play on emperor.

bump.

Voted for Tibet and Vietnam. I voted for modern civ, for I have always had this idea of putting Emirites (or UAE) in the game. I think a cool ability they could have is the ability to create islands. In real life there are projects in Dubai where they make artificial islands, I think that...

What does leveling up a spy do actually?

The wording on this is a little strange, I'm not used to calling Mexico, Argentina, Panama and Cuba tribes.

Digging the Tupi a lot, Findland and Vatican are cool too (don't think they'd put Vatican though, not really a civilization or anything close to one). Perhaps Vatican can easily be retcon by making it into the Papal States. I'm gonna have to agree with the other gentleman in saying that...

I'd be up for most of them, but the three I'd want the most are Ashanti - It's weird that Ghana isn't represented properly in this game, considering it was such a golden age for that region when Ashanti were ruling. Nubia - Figured with all the interaction with a super popular ancient Civ in...

I thought they changed this in BNW, I thought when the scientist spawns his bulb power is permanently at that point (so if you have 800 beakers, that GS bulb power will always scale off of that, and not what every you decide to bulb it at).

So railroad cost more than the actual road that is established unlike normal roads?

Greece is like any other Civ if he spawns next to you and you're willing to just go to war. He becomes a problem if he is unchecked though.

I'm pretty sure you do.

what is TSG90 ?

What about there being warnings before disasters show up? Kinda like how there is a warning for how many turns the world congress will become active, why not have something like "our science advisers seem to to predict a gigantic storm coming in 60 turns, please prepare for it". Maybe something...

Jungles are useful for mid game, so I tend to keep them, if you can take care of your capital it should become very beastly with science tiles all around. I usually try to get the jungle+culture bonus pantheon too. I think a quick expansion is probably optimal, so you can have a true production...

Does denouncing a civilization before declaring war on them help negate some of the warmonger penalty? If not, what is the point of denouncing?

You dont need to take someones original capital back to revive them

I haven't used every UU yet (haven't used the Kris Swordsman, which seems very interesting). My favorite ancient unit is the Battering Ram. The amount of damage it does to cities is insane, it just feels so great rushing people with it; including in multiplayer. Not to mention that they stay...

Not a bad strategy, though wouldn't normal melee units nearly 1 shot scouts making XP grinding pretty slow? Not sure if it is worth the war penalty.

I play on Emperor and always get a religion, usually I'm one of the first to get one as well. I usually take pantheons that generate faith, so that is probably the most simplest way to fix the problems you're having.
