    Oxford radio or plastics?

    When and how to enter an ideology, the question will pop up sooner or later, and most times I am unsure about the best path to take. (I am talking multiplayer btw; in SP i assume its easier since you will usually be ahead at this time anyways.) In 90% of my games either of the two is the...

    No coastals, but mountain cities: observatories before or after schools?

    The question concerns multiplayer games since i dont play singleplayer anymore, but i think that shouldnt make a difference. Especially without any coastal but with mountain cities i am often unsure if a detour on the tech tree to observatories is worth the delay of other important stuff...

    city state tech/dowing someone who already is at war

    1) When do city states have access to certain technologies? I always thought they do as soon as one player has researched them, but that seems to be wrong.

    Do you ever...

    ...change your ideology? I considered this a no go (and still do basically), but in a recent game as Arabia (standard pangea, deity) i came very close to doing it, and now, after being defeated, i think it may have been the only way out. I had been the second to pick one, went freedom, and...

    doing it differently, mixed success

    Just finished two games in which i departed from my usual ways, especially considering the social policies, with mixed success. I would like some input if what i did made sense. In one of them i opened the honor tree for the first time ever and was surprised how well it went. I have read in...

    culture victory, cant do it

    Just finished the 3rd game where i decided to go for a culture win (and finally get it), but once more i didnt even come close to being influential over the runaway civ and had to switch my focus somewhere in the modern aera. It feels like i am missing an essential mechanic, but i cant put the...
