Shaka is ridiculously easy to bribe to DOW someone else, which is what I do all game long

Happens sometimes, I had a game where an infuriating number of cities were one tile from coast. I gave up on domination victory based on that

Slower influence decay would be a nice incentive

Just bad pick with map creator. I had a game just now where the only pearl was near a one tile island in the middle of the ocean, and so of course all my cities ended up wanting pearl for wltkd

I play immortal, emperor is too easy and deity is just too much work/micromanaging

I hated AC, so I doubt I'll want to play BE

I never liked runaways - some maps you have no way to find them and by the time you can you're already doomed. Not fun

Once again a screenshot of your empire would be very useful. Otherwise the advice might be meaningless

I'd restart, mostly because I find it very boring to play these isolated start games. This is especially the case if as you said the shallows don't give you access to anyone. Then it's 100 turns of boring until you get compass. Even after that is boring, because warmongering becomes difficult in...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handley_Page_V/1500 It was also never used as a real bomber. In any case, it was never produced in anything near sufficient numbers for it to make any difference. Against a division of troops (the minimum modeled by the GW infantry in Civ 5, I think) one bomber...

Your military is woeful, I'd get more updated units as insurance. If Polynesia decides to DOW you I think you are bye bye

Someone from Firaxis should read this and just fix the damn tech tree according to it.

1) Great Library: If the dirt is right you can build it, but you better start this quick, or it'll be gone. It's a nice early boost to science - 3 sci is the boost of an extra city, basically. Not insignificant at that point in the game. 2) ToA - nice wonder, but I usually have better things to...

In my most recent game I failed to found a religion because the last one was taken by the AI while I was waiting for that random dice roll to go my way - waited 7 turns and no luck, and the last one was gone in the meantime. It's also annoying that when you do create that GP you lose all the...

I got two barb camps, one map, and a gold.....and I think one tech

Seems like one possible path in this game is a double DOW from Monty and Hiawatha early, mine happened maybe turn 65 or so

Hmm, interesting game. I am on around turn 150. Only getting to Printing Press now, because I got DOWed early by Hiawatha AND Monty - thankfully Monty mostly just watched. Hiawatha basically DOWed me as soon as he got Mohawk warriors. I fended off the attack with a rush to CBs, peaced him, and...

Considering the rest of the tree gives little growth bonus directly, I'm not sure what's wrong with an opener that's a bit better than tradition's.

The unit they give isn't random even when it's not a UU. I keep getting the same unit from the same city-state as long as I haven't researched the next tech for their next unit. In a recent game Valetta kept giving me gatling guns and nothing else (until I moved up in tech). Not the greatest...

Plotting is really pretty useless in the sense that it doesn't translate much into concrete gameplay things. If the AI is marching an army towards you, which I got a few weeks ago in a game from another Civ, you can bet it's coming - and came it did about half a dozen turns later. I was well...
