Well, you could do like me. And place the city on the other side of the map. (found the settler half-ways). http://imageshack.us/f/705/civhof.png/

I don't play Spain. I go with Babylon, Ramessess, Napoleon and Korea so far. I refuse to restart to much. Think its kinda sad with so many restarts just to get a NW. (And I find the bonus overrated :) )

It is generally all about snowballing-effect and a few static points in the game. You need to reach these asap.

Well, the issue with cultural CS is that the bonus is static. You can't snowball with it. However, say that 1 CS may give you 0.5-2 turns faster finish. From my last submission, I would have gained 1 turn if I have had one more CS (I had 3) because in order to get 1 less turn on the last policy...

Yes it does.

Turn 278, Babylon. Could have knocked many turns of if I had a plan and knowledge of cultural win. :) Turn 267, Ramesses. Turn 287. France, ICS (12 cities)

Only issue is the difficulty. No fun at all with easiest difficulty.

Correct. This was with G&K.

Just did a 172-turn game. Kinda pleased with myself right now. :) A few notes: 1. No RA. The reason for this is that I want my cash for rush-buying my scientific cities. Using RA and let your cities build the scientific buildings will result in less beakers. Unless your cities are power-houses...

Germany is the civ that has posed somewhat of a danger towards me late game. No other so far. But what strikes me is that they could become a real threat if they actually used their cash. A few games ago they ended up with 150k gold... They just kept saving and saving. Even when I attacked their...

Yeah I know reloading when losing a city isn't the the best option. I don't reload any other time but that one. And not always, if its a minor city I generally don't reload. Mostly if its my first 1-2 beside capital. When playing on equal terms with the AI there is no challange. I prefer higher...

Fellow members. I currently play on emperor difficulty and I have had so far 5 games on this level. What strikes me is that I have, in all games, had only one moment of fear. The first DoW on me. Darn that one is hard, the enemy floods me with troops while I generally has 4-5. I'm stubborn...

Regarding the happiness after estatic: It does give extra production, but apparently +1 movement distance reduces that bonus. Let me show my case: (+1 happiness due to wonder) 1. Scientist has 3 forest and perfect diagonal setup with the well and uni. It produces 50 beakers. 2. Scientist has...

All right, I can agree on sending six treasure at once sure gives you a big boost at once. When I get Galleon in normal games and send over my treasure it gives a huge boost. But when playing aggressive style aka Spain or are really lucky(unlucky?) and get's to many of these, it does instead...
