Hi, I am playing the Romans on emperor level. I am standing on top of an iron tile that is mined with my spy. I want to pillage the improvement, but I don't even get the option. I have almost no espionage points against Tokugawa whom I am going to perform the mission against, but it doesn't even...

You can do like me. Search for a map that contains at least one gem or gold in your starting city radius. I usually don't play a game that doesn't have two gems in my city. But it's more difficult to find a good map now with the BtS. It seems there are fewer resources on the map now than before.

In custom game, what is the difference between standard and balanced when it comes to resources? I'd like to know because I like to play with as much resources on the map as possible. And another thing. It seems you can find all the resources on ONE continent now unlike before, or am I wrong?

No, I have open borders with Cyrus, and I run decentralization. I haven't even got the required tech banking, this is very early in the game.

I had a trade route with Mongolia before a barbarian city spawned and blockaded it. But I also have open borders with Persia and all three of my cities are connected with them. Why don't I acquire a trade route with them?

I totally agree!

I think The Pyramids is very good to have and representation is powerful. But, is it worth building without stone? Even with stone it is time consuming. And, I allways bulid the Oracle first. To build both is hard, and what if someone beats you to it just the round before? You will have lost a...

I allways play Gandhi, and it doesn't bother me at all that he was neither a war- or state leader. And he didn't just do nothing, he led marches, he expressed his opinions and I guess he did a bit of thinking too. On top of it all he made his own clothes. It isn't quite true that he was not a...

I have never played on a higher level than monarch, so my strategies maybe would be different on higher levels. However, this is my list for the moment: I always play continents on huge map. I always play Gandhi because of the traits and the fast worker. I never play a map where the...

Sorry, I should have looked closer. If I had only known that when I encountered all those nasty axes.

I don't think pro needs more power. I have to upgrade my swordsmen to macemen when I am attacking Churchill's archers.

I have lost at least 6 maybe 7 chariots to barbarian axemen. And have only killed 10 axemen with my chariots. I mean the losses are too big. I feel have lost to many chariots in previous games, too. This make me suggest that the 100% bonus works only when attacking. But this isn't so, is it?

There is also an another good reason. You can use the resources outside the fat crosses to trade with other nations for money or other resources.

I have never used suicide cats. I have only used them for bombardment. I guess I will use some cats for collateral damage in my next game. However there is drawback with that strategy. The remaining units you attack with, which survives, will get lower experience growth because of the reduced...

That is why state property is so great. It is good to be the secretary-general!
