While we're on the subject, about 50 turns later, I get that too...

They're right next to you...

Over the last 40 or so turns, I've gotten 4 famine events (+3 diplo points if you give food and a little gold to your neighbor) and the downed airliner event (+1 diplo point if you allow access to a downed airliner) with Charlie, which certainly helped to solidify our alliance. Earlier on, I...

CNN Preview There doesn't seem to be any new information here. The previewer does mention that it is still pretty buggy, but I think that's to be expected.

There are some new diplomacy options in the video. Askia wants to form a "Pact of Secrecy" to oppose Bismarck, which does not lead to a declaration of war. The response choices there are "Yes, let us do what we can," "How dare you?", and "Sorry, we have no interest in this arrangement." It...

It's Civving, unless you play with your significant other. Then it's Civalry.

Wait. What? Where in Ohio? I looked at a my local Walmart in Columbus, and it was $29.99 like everywhere else.

This has worked twice for me, but it's only applicable in rare cases: 1. Start near Mansa Musa with Monty as Mansa's neighbor. Make sure somehow that Monty and Mansa don't have the same religion. 2. Tech to Liberalism quickly by trading with Mansa. Meanwhile, keep Monty somewhat modern...

I've been able to bait an archer or two out of a capital with wandering scouts. If they're unpromoted scouts popped from huts (and there's little scouting left to do), then I think that's the best end for them. Before you sacrifice them, you could use them as recon units (for instance, to see...

The joys of playing an 18 civ dual Great Plains map:

Yes, it has been accepted, and I'd have to imagine that there's plenty of room and time to get ahead of me :). I botched a couple of things (like accidentally revolting to Judaism by pressing enter at the wrong time and not invading Louis or Isabella right away when I had a sufficient force)...

I finished this last night...1190 AD through extraordinary luck. I'm usually not a warmonger, and I've never played a HOF game before, but this one looked fun. I played as Kublai Khan (snaky continents, max opponents, raging barbs). I figured that it would be a bloodthirsty land grab, which...

Hmm...I think the real question is can we move the afterlife square to something on the board? It might not be possible now, but think about what would happen if a unit died, it got respawned as a barbarian unit someplace on the board (some barbarian stronghold?). You'd have to win the game...

Yes, you were quite right about what would happen once I cancelled the open borders agreement. The work boat is now in Thebes, and it is still as useless as ever. I didn't know that the ice would melt in the event of global warming, thanks. I guess that there are certain circumstances when...
