    Starting with tradition or liberty for cultural victory?

    you want to go tradition full.. growth of the few cities you are going to have is essential. at some point it helps to go for the one policy in liberty that reduces the cost of future policies. really though in the end you want chichen itza and as many great artist slots as possible.. i had a...

    Bomb shelters are useless.

    i agree. while the OP's idea is a good one and would make it more realistic, nothing f*cking pisses me off more than oda on one of his binges. the minute i smell that little rodent in a game i send out my troops to rape and pillage every last little hectare of his . the reason i play this game...

    cutting science victory from options

    i have yet to win a cultural victory on king. im just plain sick of getting within 5 turns of building the utopia sh*thole, and then agustus ceasar popping out 3 spaceship parts in those 5 turns like a little snake. if i uncheck science in the list of victory possibilites does that even matter...

    Immortal Culture game at 1100AD

    importance of great library

    i am a king player, and no matter what if i dont pick up the great library the game seems almost useless to me. i was wondering if there is a way to make up early for that loss.. or perhaps somewhere not too far after the timeline. thanks
