I found out in my recent game, that the optimal way a city should be worked during a golden age, is VERY much different, from the way it is optimally worked at normal times, and how the automatic city governor does. During a golden age you get an extra gold from tile where there is already at...

I need a list of technologies which can be researched by each great people. So it should be a list of all the tech what a great scientist, prophet etc... can research. It would be great on planning ahead what I should use my great people for. I guess these data are stored somewhere in an XML...

Hi! I am playing an emperor aggressive AI game, where I am blocked from the other civilizations by Shaka, I share his religion, and he is friendly to me. I am going for a cultural victory, and I can cope with the other AIs because I hardly spend on military. Everything is fine except for the...

Let's say there are two mobile sams on one tile. What is the chance that I get intercepted? 50% nevertheless how many sams are on the tile, or it's 1-(0.5)^n where n is the number of sams on the tile? Or is it like this: the enemy unit which has the most chance for interception and its range...

Hi! I have read quite a lot of threads about better AI, but none of them answered this question. I installed better AI with another mod(advanced combat odds 0.4) and I would like to make sure that better AI is in operation. How can I do this, except for playing hours and experiencing that it...

I mean if you regularly play games when you don't start in the ancient era. If you play, please vote which kind of games do you play the most. I recently found out how much fun these games can be. Having tough wars in the modern era with nukes and the lot of modern units avaible is quite...

I have no idea :D. There is no "perform paradrop" button or anything like that. If I click on a tile a few tiles away, then they just simply move 1 tile towards the tile I clicked, don't "jump" there. Am I missing something?

I am not able to build a levee in this city: As you can see, there are many rivers, so it would be quite profitable. But I am just not able to... What is the requirement for levees other then a river tile in the fat cross? I have the sufficent technology, I already built some levees in other...

Corporations are heavily effected by inflation. If you have a typical of let's say 3 needed resources, you pay like -7,8,9gold maintenance with courthouses. -If the game was a modern era start, then there is hardly any inflation, you get the corporation benefit and -8,9,10gold in the cities, and...

I was quite suprised to see, that a "destroy improvement" spy action can destroy a whole town! Doesn't reduce it to village, but destroys it completely. I think it's really strong, rebuilding that town takes much more effort then rebuilding any other kind of improvement. The action is quite...

As far as I know most players play noble, prince or monarch. I defeat prince easily, but really struggle with monarch. And I am not the only one who feels a bit too hard to get to a higher difficulty. I think the steps between these difficulty levels are too big. When you get better playing civ...

I hope espionage will be useful,for example in times like when there is a peacemonger(like India) is on another continent. I hope with espionage the player will be able to stop them from insane teching. And generally espionage should be a nice gameplay element to stop inreachable civilizations...

We played a 3vs3 team game on LAN. One team tried to achieve a cultural victory. Our question is: is it possible to win if the 3 cities are owned by different players of the team? Or all 3 cities must be owned by one player?

1.61: changes: - Representation: +2 happy in X biggest cities (PS: it's not meant to be a whining thread, so only comment about the ways it will change your gamesytle or gameplay. THX)

I should fill the gap, but I don't really know the solution: The first record of something ________the modern game appears in a sixteenth century description of a tournament where people threw missiles at a target with hand, instead of using a bow. I was thinking of "like", could someone whose...

So there is a similar thread about Stalin, and overally the results are: ~93% for allowing Stalin, and ~7% for not allowing him. I really wondered how these numbers would change if the vote was about Hitler. When answering please disregard the legal problems, the main question is not whether the...

There has been some desperate discussion about this question at the threads on the coming expansion. PS: Sorry for my really bad English :( Ok, then discuss here... :D

I started a one city challange and I was really suprised that AI civs can build multiple cities. I wanted to have a fair game with an interesting twist, but this way it's just not fair. I could only have a chance if I played on warlord or settler. I would like to play OCC with fair conditions. I...

I found that you get the health bonus from forests inside the big cross, even if the forests aren't in your territory! For example if there are two civilizations next to each other, and you dont own all the squares in the big cross of your city, you still get the health bonus! The same thing...

The most major flaw I have discovered in the game so far is that the AI never, but really never builds nukes. If you give them nukes by WB they use it tough. I made a little test to be sure. So I buildt the Manhatten Project, but didn't build SDI or bomb shelters. I gave the enemy AIs all the...
