I can't believe it survived 3 editions of this game. If you were so far behind to get any benefit from it at such a late stage in the game you won't have the time or resources to devote to building it. It is strange it doesn't deliver any cultural or economic benefit as it does in the real...

I thought one of the major features of civ has always been that the civilopedia and the manual deliberatlely provide only skeleton information on how things are calculated - you're supposed to figure it out by playing.

Financial is clearly unfairly strong. It severely limits my choice of leaders because I always want to play someone with Financial + whatever. Because of the way commerce works, a "Financial" civ actually ends up with advantages in finances, science, drama & now espionage! It's too hard to...

are these on top of the AI improvements in the patch?

I also never build the obelisk, although I sometimes go for Stonehenge. I think it's odd that the culture bonus of the obelisk disappears - to this day tourists still travel tens of thousands of miles to see them and gawk at them.

I must agree! Does anyone ever build walls or castles? They're completely uselss! A castle could be quite good if it lasted a bit longer.

What's really weird is that he's chosen to give you Feudalism! I always find that the AI values Feudalism and Guilds more than other techs of the same period (ie. less likely to trade it).

Mansa Musa. Just because I played a few times letting CIV choose a random leader for me and twice it was Mansa and twice I got some of my best results ever! This was when I had just moved up a level to Prince and was being routinely defeated - I actually started winning! I think his Financial...

oh wait. Someone has answered it here. I just drop the file in with the rest?

what am I supposed to do with the BIQ file?

I hope you keep working on this. It should be fun but sounds like there are a few too many play issues right now

But 2 archers is not exactly going to ward him off if he's coming with knights! axemen? If he has knights why don't you have at least macemen? Well I suppose the best proof is that if you really were as well defended against him as you say, then you wouldn't care thta he declared war would...

It already has those little icons that come up and the log messages in the top left that you can also refer back to. I definitely DO NOT(!!) want to see your suggestion implemented. It would be so annoying to have to wait for that at the start of each turn!! Learn to use your log properly.

"most" of the time? Come on!

I'm addicted to Augustus just as he is! I have been playing him every game for my last 4 or 5.
