Thanks for the very speedy response: much appreciated. Would have been nice if it were possible without going into SDK (beyond me at the moment), but I guess I can live without it. Thanks anyway

Hi All, I was wondering whether it was possible for Leaders to have more than one favourite Civic? I was fiddling about with the leaderhead file (am passably competent at fiddling around in XML) but didn't seem to have any luck. Have I missed something, or is it simply not possible to add...

It's not too hard, except if you haven't beaten down Persia by the time they get the "Army Servants" (ie: with its uber +4 road movement bonus), you're in for a very hard slog, as their immortals and horses will wear down your stacks big time. I don't think the AI should get that bonus: with...

Seeing how they've just brought in the additional penalty for overseas colonies, I think giving Imperialist civs a 25% (maybe 50%? Or too much?) reduction in this penalty would be a good thing...

I'd rather have a patch that was several weeks late, and worked properly, than have one that was released on time and was full of bugs. Just my 2 pence.

Justinian looks really sickly.

I know the Chariot is 100% against Axemen, but is it also 100% versus Dog Soldiers as well? (it should be, but sometimes these thing get overlooked)

There is a point to be made in that the factors which made Stalin and Mao controversial took place in the past, whilst Israel's controversy is happening in the present day, and the overall sitatuation is unresolved. And I don't think it's a matter of "hating" (modern) Israel, I think it's...

Masada might make a good unique buidling. A replacement for Walls or Castles... Although I'm not sure what the effect should be... Disbanding all your units in the city;)?

I agree. Notice how in Warlords, there is no single building type that has more than one Civspecific version. The only unique buildings based upon Courthouses are Altars The only unique buildings based upon Banks are Stock Exchanges The only unique buildings based upon Markets are Forums...

Powerful? Yes. But I doubt it will be an overpowered combo, even with Corporations. Financial and Philosophical tend to be mutually exclusive. To maximise the Commerce bonus, you need lots of cottages, but to maximise the philosophical bonus, you need lots of farms. Elizabeth is already a...

But on the other hand, you deny yourself the ability to use that tactic yourself. If you found a corporation, you can't use it under state property. People are focusing too much on the "Resources Conversion" side of Corporations: they look to also be a great way of siphoning off gold from other...

Perhaps the city had a bigger cultural defence bonus the first time around? I know cities lose all culture when enemies take them, so they lose the defence bonus. I can't remember if they get it back afterwards, so this may have something to do with it...

Why isd everyone being so po-faced? He's only making a couple of humorous comments...

Hasn't someone asked this question before as well?

I didn't think you could do that. I thought once it had been built, the button to build it permenantly disappears from the game. Perhaps Ghandi never built the Shrine, and the author didn't realise it? After all, when we see a Holy City, we tend to assume that hte AI has laready built their...

I've played Genghis, Alexander and Chinese Unification. The first two, I enjoyed at first, as I enjoyed retracing the footsteps of the great generals. But after a while, it became a bit repetitive (and almost unfair after the Persians got the +4 road movement bonus: their entire army attacked me...

I wouldn't call it an exploit. Think of it as more of... laying an ambush. Much like the Battle of Hastings. You attack, then retreat. The ragged, undisciplined enemy thinks "Aha! We have them on the run! Men, abandon your positions, let's liberate our city, and give chase to those wretched...

-I generally play as either England (Liz, Win), Rome (Julius) or China (Mao or Qin) -If I ever do play as another Civ, and it's one with a relatively obscure city list (like Aztecs, Mali, etc), then I rename my cities, as I'm just not keen on "weird" city names (ie; ones that aren't familiar...

How about Protective gets +1 extra happiness from Walls + Castles? It can be done, as can be seen with Charismatic and Momuments/Broadcast Towers. My rationale is that your citizens can see that you're investing in their defence, and are reassured by it. Might be powerful with Churchill, but...
