Before I went on a rampage, I had built the great wall and declared war on 2 enemies. I then waited for them to come and use the CKN to tear them apart by the time they got to my city, then I simply walked into their land and took their defenseless cities. Not sure if it will always work, but...

WOW, I played as Mongols. I used 4 horsemen (later converted 2 to keshik) and used 2 other keshiks to win a domination game. one of my keshiks finished with experience over 1000. They were so dominant even against the last civ which had riflemen. The english lomgbows presented a tougher...

I used The iroquois the other day and had a strong game mainly due to the Longhouse. Built trading posts and got hammers and money out of those forests. My only problem was with the trade routes. All my cities had touching borders yet it was not counting them as trade routes for some reason...

I thought I tried that, but there was no place for me to choose to ask for open borders. I will try it again tonight. Thanks again.

I am having trouble getting open borders with other players when playing online. I can't figure out how to request it and have it accepted. Can anyone help please? Thanks

Try protective with the great wall, also build your walls and castles and wait for the enemy to come. Since they will just throw stack of armies at you with no success, all you will be doing is getting GG after GG from the great wall affect. Try that with Charlemange (Pro and Imp) and your...

I do not play higher levels, but from what I hear you need the extra protection you need for the early attack from the barbarians. However, it the bonus is nice to have mid game and on as some of your gunpowder units will be able to better defend themselves as they are marching through enemy...

Sorry, tough day at work and figured I would take a couple of minutes to read up some posts. I guess I am not in concentration mode. I apologize

Wow, what level were you playing?

The problem with sugar is that when you get to Standard Ethanol, you are going to be needing a plantation on it.

I never even thought of building one fort until you just pointed out how powerful it could be. I can't wait to build one on top of a forest hill. One quetion, do city raider bonuses used by siege weapons apply to forts?

In a recent game, I noticed that the AI had chosen to Guerilla 1 promo for their archers for the cities that are built on hills. I had never thought of it before, since I always chose City Garrison 1. After looking at the promotion line, I realized that it made total sense since when promoted...

Related to the topic. In my latest game as a Khan, I received the swordsman quest, which if I win, I can choose to give all melee units, Drill 1 promotion or option 2 is to give all my swordsman city raider prmotion. Since you guys are very familiar with prmotions, since I plan on doing some...

Ziggurat is one of my favorite buildings if I have Gilgamesh as my neighbor that is. Because even if you attack him early and take his cities, they already have courthouses so that my economy does not go down the drain. It makes him by far one of the better CIVs to attack first.

the Hippodrome allows you to get +1 :) for every 5% :culture: slider as apposed to the 10% for theatre, and perhaps even more important on some maps it gives you an extra :) for horses which are way more common than Dye. I would say it is probably one of the better UBs.
