Paris Hilton: The god of worthless celebrtity worship.

Yeah, I learned early on that sometimes it is better to prolong a war than to accept peace to find your new cities under intense cultural pressure.

I also find the AI less predictable. In my last game Ghandi had a tech lead but was going for cultural. I got everyone else on the continent to declare war with me, but Ghandi was content to turtle in and let us chip away at his outer cities while amping up the culture in his top 3. I had a...

Congratulations! I know how hard it is moving to a new level. Just moved to Prince a few months ago and finally had my first win other than space and my highest HOF score after about 25 games. So keep it up and keep moving up.:goodjob:

I LOVE:D blitz destroyers. I once prolonged a war just so I could get a few extra exp on two frigates that I promoted to blitz. Once I discovered oil I owned the seas.:ar15: AS for privateers: I also had one just one exp away from blitz when it was ambushed by 6 caravells one tile away from a...

Oh I know Jags don't need iron or bronze, but it would have been nice to be able to build some axes and spears to accompany my army.

I just recently made the jump from noble to Prince. I decided to play as Monty for a quick Jaguar rush and the spiritual trait for easy civic swaps. In five consecutive starts i bee-lined for bronze working but discovered I had no bronze anywhere near my starting location, and not within early...

I win most of my games vis diplomacy. In my last game though, I was going for a domination win. After failing to get the diplo win, and only lacking 6% land for the domination I went on the attack. On the turn before my borders popped for the win, I had also eliminated enough of the opposition's...

That's true, especially point #2. I could have understood the war if Hanibal initiated it, since he was still furious with me. It just struck me funny that a "friendly" civ would turn so quick. (Again, it didn't make me mad since I do it all the time:mischief:)

I am all for the AI getting PA's with each other, but last night was just plain wrong. I had Hannibal and Zara team up against me. Hannibal was furious with me (I had done some early expansion at the cost of most of his territory and left him crippled:mischief:) <I know I should have taken him...

I am all for the AI getting PA's with each other, but last night was wrong. I had Hannibal and ZAra team up. Hannibal was furious with me (I had done some early expansion at the cost of most of his territory and left him crippled) <I know I should have taken him out, but was gassed at the time>...

I can win 90% of the time at Noble, but it never is easy. I don't spend enough time managing my cities and let them get unhappy-healthy all the time before I fix it. I can't seem to concentrate enough to plan ahead and maximize specialists....But I also can't stop playing the darn game!:mischief:

Just finished a sucessful war to consolodate my northern and western lands. Freddy to the north was a pushover and Hannibal, surprisingly, offered little resistance. Won with Trebs and maces. Just getting my army back together and the HRE to my east sounds the horns of war and rolls in with...

After fighting a defensive war with Shaka, where I manage to take one of his cities and build the Temple of Zeus in his old city, an AP vote comes up to return the city to him. I defy and everyone hates me (including my own people :(). Now THAT can't be good.

Just had the same thing happen with the Mongols. I was Persia and going for a cultural win when Khan decided to attack. The problem for him was a few turns before I signed a PA with Washington and upgraded all my macemen to CR2 Infantry. No match against Longbows. While I was Island hopping and...
