I never made it very far on this one. Gave up on turn 285 as I was down to three cities at the southern tip of South America and Brazil didn't seem in any hurry to put me out of my misery.
Lost on turn 277, frustrating as I'd thought/hoped I was done losing at Prince level. I thought I was cruising along toward the win but Ludwig completely blindsided me, suddenly winning a Cultural Victory which he hadn't been particularly close to when I'd last checked only a couple dozen turns...
Whew, Diplomatic Victory on turn 383, beating the deadline by four minutes if I were on the West Coast! Egypt never really went anywhere so I gobbled up Ra-Kedet early on, which turned out to be my best city. Other than that I stayed friends with everyone all game.
I'm trying to move up to Emperor level, and so far I have one loss (Maya) and three wins (Kongo twice and Japan)...but in all three of the wins I was going for a scientific or cultural victory and wound up winning diplomatically without having made any special effort to do so until the very end...
I'm on turn 59 of a game as Kongo, and I just noticed that a Scout (of mine) has suddenly appeared in one of my city centers. I never build Scouts, and I know I didn't accidentally build this one, because that city is still in the middle of its build cycle. Any idea what would cause this to...
Doesn't look like there's been much Mafia going on around here for a while. If anybody is up for a game, the once thriving community of Giraffe Boards is struggling to get enough people to play. Please sign up HERE!. Hope to see some of you there. :)
Obviously this is very dependent on context, but say I'm going for some non-domination victory, have 10-12 cities and aren't planning to attack anyone. About how many units should I have to be able to deter the AIs from attacking me? How concerned should I be about keeping my units relatively up...
Question: On the Overall World Rankings screen, if nobody has captured a foreign capital, players are ranked in the Domination category by a "domination score". What, if anything, does this mean? I have found it to be unreliable as a measure of who can and can't be safely attacked. It seems like...
ARGH!
I knew I shouldn't have signed up for that damn 2K account to get Caesar! Now it's telling me I can't play multiplayer because the age on my account is too young (my birthyear is 1968). It's telling me to contact customer service, but it won't let me log into the customer service port...
Diplomatic Victory on turn 371. Clearly not a big deal in this crowd, but it was my first game completed above Prince level, my quickest victory ever, and my first attempt at a Diplomatic win. It was a nice touch to have the all-woman lineup of leaders.
I started out focusing on building up my...
This is exactly the question I came here to ask! I'm fairly new to the game but I think I need to stop playing on Prince. My current game, as Norway, on turn 355:
I have 32 cities. My Score is 1837, second place 954. I've captured six of nine AI capitals. My Military Score is 5216, just under...
