I sometimes will save my game then open mods and use the in game editor to move their settler away to another place or if really mad just delete their settler then return to the regular game. Basically really cheating but at least the head ache from irrational expansion is gone. At other times...

I understand the love for the pathfinder and also enjoy it; although, I find the Pictish Warrior to be my favorite with the Aztec Jaguar a close second. Echo the least favorite being the Quinquereme. I usually play with ruins turned off so that should explain why the pathfinder is not at the...

Enjoyed the first chapter. Look forward to more.

I would like to see you continue. Enjoyed the first effort when you were doing it. Have done a couple of these sort of efforts on tilted earth myself since your effort. I use marathon and find the barbarians to be extreme. Would like to see your take on when you begin the expansion into the...

Will run fine on Dx 9 but Dx 10 will not start. Have gone to download all latest video card drivers for Intel. Did not help. Will play in 9 but not as pretty. What info is needed to try and fix? I have Nvidea Geforce GT 555M Thank you.

Went back to the save game and annexed a puppet that had a religion. Was then able to start spending the saved religion points on a Great Artist or Merchant as well as Pagoda. Still could not spend in my capital but could buy missionaries so would expect I could export the religion to my...

I was in atomic age at the end of the game. Still had Dynamite left on tech tree (I build the great wall and wanted to keep the slow moving enemy benefit). Chased the upper path to get the Sydney Opera House. Had finished the trees to allow artist and merchant but still could not buy. Looked...

Playing as China, marathon, 16 total civs, no city states, sandstorm map (pangea), emporer level focusing on culture from the start. I started on river, next to mountain in upper left portion of map. Great choke point with mountains going to east allowing only two means of egress above my...

I have found myself enjoying the skirmish map type on standard size with an additional two Civs and maybe a reduction of 4 city states. I do a dry setting with desert the dominant terrain. Korea for science perks or the Ottomans and try to survive until unique units. Have had fun with this...

If you have already covered this I apologize in advance. I rarely play any speed other than marathon. I have played quite a few of the GOTM but rarely with any sort of finishing speed worth posting or abandoning due to not enjoying the quick pace of the game. Is it possible to post the GOTM...

I hate to play against Darius seems like they always have way too much money and given time will steam roll other Civs. Also dislike the Inca due to their constant flip flopping from friendly to hostile.

I had never tried an advanced age start until I ready your story. Thank you for the story as it has opened up an entirely new CIV 5 experience for me.

Look forward to reading your story. Why would you not try to use Korea for this attempt? I have had my best success for quick science victories with them. Just curious.

If you are really curious you can use the save map option, then open the map with the world builder and you can see if there were only the two aluminum that you found. As an aside I have also had a small map that had no coal that you could get to. The only two sites with coal were surrounded...

This method is a real click fest of next turns. Not for everyone as most would probably find very boring. War if necessary after Battleships are open. I usually play small map, Marathon timing, with no ancient ruins, policy and promotion saving on, complete kills on, raging barbarians on...
