Attached is the game file. Sweden and Mongolia are completely surrounding my capital when a second warrior is generated at the city centre. Now both warrior units are not moving anywhere, the most troublesome is that I cannot continue to the next turn. By the way, the new AI combat capabilities...

Just bought the expansion from steam. But it's not showing up in the library. And when I clicked on the game, it says it is queueing for update, but it always says timeout, what is the workaround it?

It will also add some flavors to the game, imagine canal becomes one the strategic / geo-political resources that everyone fights for it to control the world...etc

This is my current game. Can we have a feature called canal so that I can cut through to make a shorter path possible? I need a passage from Osaka through the canal North East of Imperial Capital into the Sea where Mysore is adjacent so that my Imperial Navy can attack the city.

So I was playing around the ways of getting to science victory. I didn't do very well, bad luck. And near end game, I obtained the death robot and the X-COM squad, both are very cool units. The death robot looks really like the Mechwarriors, and damn powerful. I hit and captured a city with...

I just chance on seeing this thread, and maybe it's good to share some AI experience. But mine is not quite a bad one. I have seen a scout killing a very weak AI barbarian horseman, I don't know if that is reasonable. I have never seen an AI Warrior killing a Mechanized Unit though even it is...

I miss the random seeds, so that all the characters can be shuffled and randomized thus adding challenges to the game.

Yes, all that you mentioned happened, thanks for the hints, I will definitely try all that. Things about research lab is that they are expensive and it takes 3 citizens to fully utilize them, if your city doesn't grow to that big, having research lab is not useful unless city growth is not a...

And I find the even the Amenities light is turned red, it doesn't slow production.

You may say it's no big deal, just a few turns less than 170. But I did use a different strategy. Instead of going in advance of era, I slightly emphasized on culture development. So my Civics tree was done pretty full by end-game. However, I don't find it helping a great deal in terms of...

I have been trying to fine tune my gameplay. But this is the best which I can do. At Online speed at KING difficulty, it is around 170-175 turns to make it to Science Victory. Equivalent to standard speed would be 340 to 350 turns.

Correct me if I am wrong. I have new findings, naturally from a user/gamer point of view (NOT from developer's). For all my previous efforts playing the game, I was rushing towards end-game hoping to see the results, be it out of curiosity or insanely addicted to it, well never mind. So I set...

I retain all the settings except speed changed to Standard. Two met AI declared war at around Turn #45 in two games. When I was using Online speed, the AI nearly never declared war against me. It's a significant difference which I have seen so far.

I want to know the real difference between Standard speed and Online speed. What I have found out about Standard is that the AI seems to behave slightly harder than Online speed. Is that just me or others also experience the same?

Why the envoy's beneficiary is always the capital? What is the rationale behind this design? How about selected cities being the beneficiaries?
