To lynnthekiller, welcome to CFC. Marines are the most effective for amphib assualt. Keep bombing and you will have it.

I was going for my first Diplo win, and everyone except Shaka was voting for me. I changed my civic to his favorite civic, Police state, and I never got the diplomatic for " you have chosen your civics wisely". Does anybody know what gives???? :confused: Here's the save:

If a resource is in your cultural borders or the AI's cultural borders, then all you have to do is hook it up and it is yours. In regards to open borders, you have to play a delicate diplomatic game with them, i.e trade favorable trades, to keep them. It can be a challenge to keep the AI...

Definitely, courthouses in every city

:lol: Good One,Dave!!!!

I agree with Warspite2. Do NOT forget to send escorts with your troopcarriers. If you lose even one transport, this will hamper your re-enforcements. You said you were going for Conquest. If you do not have domination turned off, I would take one key AI city and torch the rest. The...

Bad news: War will slow down your research. Good News: It will slow down their research too. You have to find a happy balance between kicking the AI's butt:devil: and maitaining you empire.

To Willowmound - don't feel bad!!! I was a competent Prince player, but with Warlords(patched) I had to fall back to Noble. :eek: IMO, Prince Warlords = Monarch Vanilla. You just to have give alot more attention to detail when playing. You should probably start an early war, too. This...

To McFarty - Welcome to CFC :cool: :clap: :wavey: Culture was the culprit that took your city. If you have cities along an opponent's border, you need to build a couple of buildings that will produce some culture. This maintain and protect your tiles around your city.

Very odd. I can't remember ever seeing two capitals that close together. I am not saying it doesn't happen, but being dropped that close to Rome is going to be a rough one. One plan of action would be to chop rush a settler to grab that copper south of you. I would place the city 1S of the...

I would make your 2nd or 3rd city to be able to grab one of those Copper resources. Try to discover more land, do another dot map, and post it here again. Everyone will be able to give you some more feedback based upon what other resources are near and where your opponents are at.

Not a sign up, but I will be lurking this thread heavily. I have always wanted to see how well the Zulus could perform in AW. Good luck.:goodjob:

Since this is vanilla, this city site would be an excellent GP Farm. Saladin's philosophical trait mixed with the national epic would be a monster.

Forgive me if this is somewhere else, but a search of the threads turned up nothing. What is your favorite unique building? I personally like the Zulu's Ikhanda(barracks). -20% maintenance cost is quite helpful in the early game. Also, the Arabian Madrassa(library) is nice with the ability...

i know you can zoom in and out with the mouse view, but how do you "turn the view?" Isn't there a button(s) you can hold down to look at the map from a 45 degree angle?

don't feel bad. everyone has gotten the Dan Quayle title sometime in their Civ career. I agree with finding a better way to do the score where time is not the biggest factor. I would like the rankings that are in the demograhics to be a bigger factor. For example, if you are ranked 1 or 2 in...

How about instead of light bulbing, the GG could be used to hurry production of Heroic Epic or West Point? I think that would be a nice addition that would not overpower it too much.

I know Russia already has 3 leaders, but I would like to have seen Ivan the Terrible instead of Stalin. Don't get me wrong Stalin was a good leader, but I think Ivan would have been worth a nod from CIV. If I recall my history correctly, Ivan increased the power of his throne, the size of his...

last night on Warlords, I did some Warmongering with the Koreans. The hwacha did a great job against the Roman Prats. I like the protective trait. For warlords, I like Ghengis and Shaka. On vanilla, Caesar is the man. I got 2 Monarch victories with him.

I would take a shot at building the Great Wall. You will need to research masonry. This combined with Imperialistic will you an excellent military edge. As for what to research, I would suggest the basic worker techs and Iron working. Of course, I am assuming you are going for some sort of...
