@ antimony Cheers, only just seen your post. will read and apply to tomorrows effort. 🍻

I’ve tried a few more times but always with the same result. So you could say at the moment I’m clueless in what to do; diplomacy is an utter enigma. There must be rules which I am not privy too; Aargh, I haven’t even got a starting point to build from … someone help me PLEASE! 🙏 I taken a bit...

Ok, I'll bite. How do I get them up to friendly?

It's now 1AD and I've had enough; I've given all my techs & gold away trying to buy votes to no avail ... back to the drawing board. :dunno:

Right, this is where I really need the help … Yet they abstain? Why? And even if I had everybody on board I'd still be short, :undecide:

Well, what do I know? And only turn 70! I stayed with Christianity, but now I’ll covert to ‘No State Religion’ and pray Betty & Charlie will open borders. Thinking outside the box … I wonder whether I’m able to gift cities to distant empires? Could actually be quicker: there are still uncut...

It’s turn 59 and I’m finally ready to start building The Apostolic Palace; I’ve pre‑chopped 9 forests and 6 turns form discovering mathematics, with 2 workers I calculate completion on turn 72. My frustration continues though, Elizabeth is the founder of Hinduism and won’t open borders with...

I guess the best way to show my ‘shortcomings’ is to post a game, so without further ado here goes: - I ask Map Finder to save the tried ‘n’ trusted double gold starts then choose one with enough food to continue to grow after working the goldmines and a bounty of forests to chop. I’m also...

Ok guys, here’s where I’m at; - my diplomatic/religious skills are non-existent hence I’m using this game [BTS] - Religious Victory Case Study (Monarch/Tiny/Normal) | CivFanatics Forums as a template but the plan is flawed. Experience shows the suggested tech path: -...

Hi, as expected I'm giving this a go and keen to submit a good score but am having trouble (a lot of trouble) getting other civs to vote for me. I can get 4 civs up to "pleased" yet either they abstain or their collective votes don't meet the 75% needed. Any suggestions welcome.

What went different/right? A bit of luck & just being more prepared. Focus on the task in hand; build tanks! Take-out the 1st 3/4 opponents swiftly. Aim for Modern Armor by 2000 AD and keep the 'pedal to the metal' then once over the hill (which I was late - read too causious) transition to...

I think it was 3 launches all tolled. I was at war with the Americans when they launched and hence already enroute to their Capital so no problem but I missed a 2nd civs launch on the same turn but as luck would have it I turned my attention to them & captured their Captial and got the shock...

I started to write a debrief on my game but when I read it back to myself, I thought, all I’m doing is repeating what’s already been written in this thread … besides, as you say, I needed a break from Civ 4 so turned my attention to another ‘bucket-list’ goal ~ building a 1 million population...

Short 'n' very sweet!

I'm up to game #34 with less than a fortnight left in this Gauntlet. I've mastered the of one city/one tank per turn trick through a workshop based economy but at the moment stuck finding the right way to use them effectively. I am finding myself warring on too many fronts; I now need to learn...

Game #28 Turn 15 - 1918 : Don't you just hate that? I know I said 'I need to try something different'; Ooops, next Game please.

Been there, done that! I have a theory, 'Aggressive AI' like nuclear weapons; thus vote against the U.N. Resolution #1284 (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty). I am now only selecting NO BARBARIANS & NO VASSEL STATES in the game options. I too have been experimenting with a hybrid economy...

Damn, I'm so struggling stopping the AI spaceships. Best effort to date 4, had a stack of 30+ modern armour nuked enroute to the 5th. Mapfinder is running, Game 27 awaits.

Turn 71. 2005 AD: - I wrongly DoW Espaῆa and ended up fighting both MM & Isabella. My casualty rate has been horrendous, forcing my hand somewhat into start researching for better military hardware. I really wanted to go the whole way with just Tanks but I cannot replace losses quick enough. I...

Question: - When a capital is destroyed what determines which city the new one is assigned too? Is it the oldest, largest closest or just random?
