I think I might be too impatient for such a strategy :) Also - we already have hundreds of units.. I think he has about 150-200 missile cruisers alone.. plus other ships. Also, the longer I wait, the greater the chance that he will pop uranium and rush a couple of nukes before I take out the...

All other victory conditions have been disabled, only either domination or conquest is available. We basically used house rules to avoid our own direct conflict until all AI-s were destroyed.. so that we would have a chance to experience a large scale modern war in Civilization. In that respect...

Thanks for all the great replies. Didn't even know about nukes destroying national wonders and terrain features. Too bad about SDI being a project and un-burnable... That was my best option so far. Just to paint a more clear picture of our game: - I have the only uranium on the map - Both of...

Attempting to destroy SDI is a good idea.. Although in our game I would not be able to raze the city, since SDI is a national wonder I think it should get destroyed when I conquer it. I will try it, but considering that he also frequents these forums, this looks like a far shot at the moment :D...

Thanks, good advice. Unfortunately we have disabled razing cities in game setup exactly so that burned ground tactics would not be viable, forcing us into a real war, nut just cheap stabs. Also, his fleet is about 2x larger than mine and although getting through his pickets here and there...

Do you have any advice on nuke use and countering in multiplayer games? We are in the middle of a modern war with my friend and since nukes are involved for the first time, we are looking for strategies and tactics involving them. Right now I have nukes and he does not. We are situated on...

I kind of like it but we have not played it with a friend for a long time already cos of multiplayer problems. I dont know if we will pick it up after a new patch or not. Tired of waiting.

I have been playing MP with a friend and we think we have identified one reason for the disconnects. During the normal builder phase of the game we rarely get any disconnects. Also during regular land-combat phase the DC-s are fairly rare. However we get almost regular disconnects when we...

Actually this makes me a bit pessimistic. If the new guy is intended for improving civ 5 it would mean that even firaxis has no high hopes for the current coder/s. Which would mean a low quality MP patch if any THIS YEAR. Hiring process, then getting settled in, getting familiar with a new...

In our MP games with a friend we have found that it is easier to just configure the game to autosave every turn. When we want to end the game for that session, we just press 'end turn' and next session start with the latest autosave. This is also good because of the frequent gamecrashes...

What they said

Well in MOO actually the player moved whole fleets. All moves were carried out and if the units ended up at the same location, combat ensued. Same mechanics are also used for example in Sword of the Stars, andother turn based space strat. Of-course combat was a bit different from Civ. In MOO2...

.. Still think that the MOO solution was better - everyone gives commands at the same time but the commands get executed at end of turn simultaneously.

:( ... Well, another golden age it is then

In the current multi-player game I am playing with my friend I built Louvre and got 2 Great Artists. Now, when I built the wonder in my idle city I was thinking about just using them for Golden Ages but how about this... Make an invasion onto the enemy's landmass, culture-bomb the beachhead...
