Hi there
Fairly new at Civ 5 so have a few questions that I hope someone can help me with.
1. I am often told by CS that I need to "connect x ressource to my trade network". To my very best knowledge that is often already the case - the actual tile is being worked and I have roads between my cities. Is the quest actually that the CS requesting this is not connected ? And will it help building a road to them (which often is a seperate quest)
2. In my current Prince game (winning, but a bit slow) I have a very peaceful game. I often get trade requests from other AI's where they offer something in return for my luxury ressources. Will the AI request ressources that is being used by myself (ie. if I only have 1 silver - will they request silver if it is being "used") ?
3. In connection to my question above I have sometimes accepted the trade (checking if the luxury ressource is available by removing it from the trade screen to make sure it becomes available on my side). If it is available I usually accept the trade instead so I get something for the vacant ressource. The problem is that more than a few times this has resulted in unhappiness by appr. 4 persons - and once I completed 3 trades in a single round with other AI's and ended up with -8 in happiness from positive. I find that strange since that should only happen if I give away ressources that is being used by my own people and I don't believe that is the case - but not sure ?
4. Playing as Babylonians I get a lot of free GP scientists. What is normally recommended - to use all for the improvement with the same city (so perhaps ending up with 5-8 with the same city) or using these for multiple cities ?
5. When using the GP scientist for the improvement do I get the science bonus immediately or will it only count when the tile is being worked ? I sometimes find it hard to decide if I should use the GP on the location that my advisor suggests ? Will any ressources go to waste if they are on the tile or will the improvement come on top of that ?
6. I have a hard time getting the AI to trade luxury ressources to me even though we are friendly and DOF. Usually they want a ridiculous amount of several strategic ressources and gold for a single luxury ressources - and at best offer gp/t for my luxuries. Any tips/tricks ?
7. I still find this game very peaceful compared to previous CIV installments. Should I persue war and conquering more ? It seems much easier simply going for a culture win in mid game rather than wiping out some AI's or taking some additional cities (still training on Prince).
8. How many cities do you guys aim for on a standard map, 8 AI, 16 CS when going Liberty ? How many at turn 100 and 150 ?
Thanks a lot for any help
