1) Yea, it was quite fun when I started with pioneering and continental surveyor with Polystralia since I had 4 trade routes before all the turn 40. But it was also really annoying (as said already on the forum) when I built a lot of cities with up to 3 trade routes each. 2) Nope 3) Not...

So I played through the game about 3 times. First time I tried the Slav Battlesuit rush and got a Domination victory. Next I tried PAC and tried to do the Promised Land Victory but it got boring after I knew I was going to win. Third time was with Polystralia on Archipelago and won...

Polynesia sounds fun, I'll have the whole of Australia to myself!

For some reason my Work Boats can't create Fishing Boats over the fish/atoll tile. Is this because of the atoll or is this a bug?

Excited! Already played the incredible Zulu but domination is always fun :D

This is not for Pangaea but England on Archipelago is insane because ship of the line and lucky iron start is incredibly strong. Unfortunately ship of the line comes after T100. But when you do get an army of ship of the lines plus 1 caravel (to capture cities) you will dominate so fast because...

I think this all comes down to the question, beat him at his own game, or beat him at another game. Should I have a 5 land units and 5 ships against his 10 land units, or 10 land units and no navy?

This applies to all maps (including Archipelago); since the AI rarely builds any ships, is it even worth building a Navy? When should you build a Navy? What are the benefits of building a Navy?

I'm new to Civ and Civ5 is my first Civ experience. I've played a few games and what I've noticed is that from early-mid game, you need a few workers to move you forward into the game. So I tend to build a lot of workers, especially when the advisors also advise me to build workers. However...

Why is TSL, Dale the best Earth map? It's already got the majority of the votes. There are alot of maps that are improvements of Dale's map, shouldn't they be used instead?

Play on Archipelago, the AI is horrible at naval combat.

Thanks Delra. Now that I have an idea on what to research, what should I build at the start? Is it the usual Scout>Worker>Settler? Or should I start getting my army to beat Barbarian Units to sway the City-States. And then what do I build afterwards?

OK, I'm going to try a diplomatic victory with Arabia by getting rich. So map type is continent and map size is standard. What is the recommended build order at the start and should I tech to Bazaar immediately?
