caesar had the honor in my game of declaring war at some point with every other civ in the game, including his friend with a +7 rating

Well, I lost this one to Mansa in 1826 to a cultural Victory. I was proud that I made it to the end, built the UN, had a vote for diplomatic victory, which did not come through and was the second most populous nation at the end despite bieng one of thre smallest. I never lost a city I am...

at 500 Ad I believed I had a "shot" to win the game. I was near the top in tech, in a group of 3 on the bottom of the board and not to far from the top. Alsoe the other civs were in two maps that did not like eachother and usualy at war. I did not at this point think I had the win, but I had...

I agree with KC sweede on this, if it is so easy then please enlighten us with details. From the minimap it is obvious that you could expand to the east, a path that was not available to me (caeser blocked me off by taking a barb city around 2000BC with Praets scared me away) directly to the...

Sorry I have been completely out of it the last couple of weeks. Real life has me completely swamped but I am near the end of the swamp period. Hopefully next week I can take a good look and start contributing. Go trash team:):):)

I'm still alive and fighting Genghis for 6th place:). I have 8 cities, all but the fiirst on the pennisula to the west. A barb city popped up almost immediately to the east and about 4-5 warriors almost put me back to one city (I had settled near the gems an stone at this time. The city was...

I believe We can get the marble if we road it and connect it to a roaded fort. I will try to check this out on the test game.

In my opinion I would rather build a settler or some workers than stonehenge. I think we will get more benefit from an extra city than stonehenge. This could change if we find stone and we can quickly chop it out. But from what I see now the reward is not work the cost. We will end up with...

I do not think we should focus on getting religions. The more shrines that the AI makes themselves the less we have to. We may end up with later religion or two but I think they are much less of a priority than boosting our research rate early, building units or making a couple of carefully...

The great lighthouse is a very powerfull and very expensive wonder but it only works well in certain cases. It is best when we are on a small island that is galley acessable to several other civs , or a group of several small islands so you get the overseas bonus early. We can not know if...

Good game..... but I got you by 6 turns:) I think having to swing around may have cost you there. I was attacked by barbs once. It was a rifle or mace that got ambushed on its way through the smoking ruins of Korea. It is not the wall that sets the borders but your cultural boundaries...

I agree with remconius overview. I think the steel- rifling mark is the key one and probably where we target as our research high water mark. Particulaily in BTS the AI realy under prioritizes rifling. We start with maces and convert them over to rifles at some point in our conquering. Then...

Checking in here and new to the group. At first look I agree with Jadex that conquest domination is the way to go. One alternative might be to go for an early religious victory, but the map type means you need astronomy to reach all civs so I do not know if it is the best. On first...

For tectonics map script, I played it a couple of times a long whilke ago back when it was not standard map script but a user download. The idea of it is to try to create mpore realistic landmasses and atmospheric patterns basic on plate tectonics and to a lesser extent global air...

I am OK with wherever you put me and am happy to stay with trash team. But I will go anywhere so that things work out even.
