Hey guys, I have problems with savegames on my laptop. When I start up a savegame from the forum, it starts up in Warlords instead BtS. So I uninstalled everything, patched it and checked to see if it helps. But no, I download a BtS savegame and then the game starts up warlords again. Can...

Ok, this is not a real strategy post but it is still fun. I just played a game on monarch and I experienced some stuff I have never experienced before and just wanted it to share it. I was just fooling around with Boudica of Ethiopa and drafting agressive charismatic Oromo warriors. Of...

Hey guys, Welcome to another crazy idea for a succession game. The inspiration is based on this mighty man from Army of Darkness: Yes, this is my boomstick!!! :) This succession game will be a mix of different kinds of succession game together. I will explain what my plan is. In short...

So here we are. I guess we are not in Kansas anymore, again...... What the hell happened here. The world has come to an end and we are facing a nuclear winter. Snow everywhere. What happened????? Ah books and history, lets see and read: In the late 21st century everybody got so "smart" that...

So here is the place to discuss. Lets get things rolling team.

Ok I moved up from monarch to emperor finally. So far never finished one game because it all goes down because of the barbs. First game, do my normal rexing. Build some warriors to fogbust and get some cities up and all of a sudden there are 2 barb warriors and 2 barb archers next to my city...

So welcome back to Everybody Loves An Incredible Start. But is this really an incredible start??? It doesn't look that incredible, I give you that, but hang in there. You will find out soon why this start is incredible (hint: see title :P). I picked Mansa Munsa because I hadn't played him in a...

Welcome to a new idea for a series. I rolled this start with Sury and couldn't resist sharing this one with you. Here is the start, a dream if ever and it only gets better from here. Whenever I find another incredible start I will post it here for you to enjoy. It is monarch and normal...

In my last game I get sabotaged to bits by 4 AI who just love to destroy my improvements. I think I am not exaggerating when I say that 1 pasture has been destroyed over 8-10 times. It is just incredible. I have tried to put a unit on it only to see another pasture getting destroyed. I have put...

What would it be? All is possible. For example: Leader: Peter (exp/philosophical) UB: Terrace UU: Immortals Function: Fast production of terraces in freshly conquered cities (same cost as a monument but with double the culture). Leader: Tokugawa UB: totem pole UU: Skirmisher...

In my last game I was conquering Sitting Bulls territory and he was down to his last 3 cities. I press enter to end my turn and all of a sudden I have conquered all his 3 cities?? I didn't mind it but I never experienced that to be honest. Instant capitulation and Sitting Bull was dead. So what...

Ok, finally moved up to emperor. I thought lets take it easy and take Huayna. Settled some good cities, found buddishm and got the other 2 on my continent to share my religion. Untill late there was still room to expand so I got a good core of 12 cities or something. Apparantly I blocked of...

I was just thinking how much more easier it is to attack a city then to defend one. I think everybody agrees on that, especially against the AI. Bring enough colateral and mop up the defenders. City raider is incredible powerfull in this one. Now what can you do to increase your defenses: 1)...

So I did a test game for fun. Picked Huayna on a fantasy map. Crazy resources on and those resources were like gold and copper. This means that corporations are going to be sick with culture. To bad rice wasn't the crazy food resource otherwise sids sushi would have also been incredible...

In my last game I build the AP and was the leading candidate. However I did win the elections like 10 times but I only got one option to vote on something in total (assign city to me, hehehe). So how does this work? Is it purely random or is there some way to trigger the choices? Does it depend...

Again a question about diplomacy. I still have problems understanding it completely. In my last game as Roosevelt archilopegea I have a very crappy start and start on a tundra island with room for 2 cities. I rex like mad, meet all the neighbours and take over the most favorite religion to make...

Yesterday I thought lets up the stakes since I win monarch too easily now and go for emperor. Stalin on great plains. My capital is ok, get stonehenge, spam a few cities and then the misery is starting. I mean every turn there is at least 1 barb coming into my land. No horses, copper not...

Last weekend I played a game where IMP really shined and I have to say I like this trait finally. Not because of the cheap settlers but because of the abundance of great generals. First of all you do need some nasty AI neighbours. Since I was surrounded by Monty, Ragnar, Shaka and Sitting Bull...

I got a new favorite map with fantasy and crazy resources. The map is then literally filled with around 3 resources where there is an abundance of. In my last game this was sheep, gold and marble for instance. With 12 cities I had like 12 marble, 18 sheep and 15 gold. Now as long as you...

Last night I was playing a game as Mansa. Was steamrolling the great plains but was getting tired and wanted to end the game. Since I had about 55% of the world population and a vasal I thought lets get a backdoor diplomatic victory with the UN. Burned 3k on it to finish it fast and then the UN...
