I'm gonna make a crazy bet for Monty by Domination on this one. :p Second pick is that Petey takes it by Spaceship. Some noob thoughts/observations: All AIs are making an archer as their first build. Are they nervous? Wangy is screwed for sure. I bet he'll be the first to cap. Jully is...

+1 Still can't belive that Perry pulled through :goodjob: I thought he was gone when he got the double DOW from Sully & Charly. It's interesting to see how different the AI play compared to the human.

Hmm, interesting playthrough :king: My favorite quote is from Civ3: "Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win" - Sun Tzu I think this quote came with the completion of some kind of espionage wonder/Project, but I'm...

Still seems to hold true. Great up-write kossin :goodjob: There is not much to add but the astonishment at some of the AIs plays :crazyeye: Worst moves so far: (in no particular order) Vicky not REXing. Did she think she was on an Island? Nappys play in general. Especially early city...

My typical extra GP farm is that city that has one or two seafood tiles, but the rest of the tiles are crap. Basically I build(whip) only a library and then run two scientists until it pops a GS. Typically the city is stuck at size 3 (1 fish & 2 scientist) or size 5 (2 clam/crab, 1 PH & 2...

It´s a wrap. :p Emperor normal NHNE 1650 Conq win. Time 16h. Score 150k. First online Emp win for me. Self assessment Questions: What do you guys build(whip) in those 1-tile Island cities, after you have built the basic infra? (Wealth is not really an option since these cities only...

@Robert What settings are you playing?

You could try this map with Ramesses: (with stone & IND/SPI leader) http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=498192&highlight=Ramesses Or this with Monty: (without stone & SPI/AGG) http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=490378&highlight=Nobles+club

Q1) As allready stated above, most people agree that a hybrid is much more effective than a pure SE or pure CE. My suggestion for a normal game is to cottage the capital & the obvious cottage city locations. My suggestion for trying/learing is that you choose a food rich map and wow not to build...

If you're vassals have a decent tech speed, you can use them for that purpose. You can tell them what to tech and then trade/demand it from them. It's especially important that you don't let them tech the same technology. This will not help you get ahead in tech, but it will help you to keep...

Smile. Pangaeas top tip is Pangaea. I have to agree with everything he suggests though. Playing Pangaea on standard size, normal speed, no huts and no events, is a good place to start. Try playing a leader that isn't creative. This helps you getting used to placing your cities with the...

Lol, major necro indead :scan: Voted Preat obviously.

Action! I love it, but why oh why did Charly make peace with Perry :crazyeye: Lol, Vicky attacking Sully with 1(one) knight :lol: As my noob eyes see it now it's: 1. Sully for Domination 2. Perry for Culture, maybe as a vassal 3. Darry for Space (or who will grab Space if it comes to...

@robert You have teched both AH and BW. Do you see any ponys or copper? It's standard in my game to try and grab one of those with city two or city three at the latest. Do you have any thoughts on Economy Style yet? If you're going for à cottage beraue cap, then you need helper cities close...

Loving this discussion! :goodjob: This is not one of the easiest starts to figure out, is it?
