    First Deity Win...exploiting Kongo

    I was curious if anybody else has used this exploit? I wanted to try to win at Deity level, so I played with Rome against Kongo on a duel sized continents map. I went for a religion victory since Kongo can't found their own religion, and the win was very easy (I won the game by about 500 BC)...

    ICS still works (trading post spamming too)

    First post-patch game...played so far until 1000AD. ICS and trading post spamming are alive and well. Maritimes still give plenty enough food that you can ignore farms and spam trading posts everywhere. There's still enough food and happiness resources to support a lot of cities. My pace...

    Fixing Magical Maritime Food (ala Sullla)

    How to fix "Magical Maritime Food" The problem: By befriending/allying with maritime city states, you can get a bunch of free food per turn in each city. That allows you to 1) not build any farms, and instead spam trading posts and 2) build a bunch of cities everywhere without regards to...

    Some questions from the manual

    1) Is coal no longer required for railroads? The manual lists only ironclad and factories as requiring this resource. p42 2) Why does a catapult require iron? I can't think of a single piece of a catapult that really needs to be metal. p144 3) Anyone else bothered by the fact that a great...

    Did they purposely weaken everybody's favorite strategies?

    Forest chopping, pyramids+representation, even (GASP) the Kremlin, have all been weakened by the 1.61 patch. I am wondering, do you guys think the designers observed how everybody was winning, then systematically weakened those strategies? I would have preferred a stronger AI able to adapt...

    you CAN improve ice tiles

    I hadn't seen this anywhere so I thought I would post to let people know who were not aware of this. In my last game, I had a city in a northern area surrounded by tundra and ice. There was a river running past, and I found my workers were able to improve the ice tiles along the river with...
