I'm playing a huge game with all eleven players on one continent!

Love RoN, especially when doing Conquer the World, which admittedly has a turn-based component to make it truly epic...:lol:

Maybe the office population is too low to whip rush! :lol:

:blush: Ooops, bloody knots, miles and kilometres! :lol: Thanks for pointing that one out, sorry to Dominico. Its 280 kilometre ph! Still, faster than your average cargo train *he says desparately trying to claw himself back to respectability. One of the side effects of insomnia, looking up...

Actually, no. Just checked. They cruise at 150knts, which is about 280mph, much faster than a cargo train. Their range is 250miles with only internal fuel, but increases to about 1,200miles with external fuel load. The hellfire missile (anti-tank) has a range of 8000m, so it could take out a...

Oh no you don't! Believe me, its shows the odds of winning, not who's won. I'm currently playing the War of Independence and I attacked Boston and had something like attack 17.8 and defence 12 and I lost without inflicting a single casualty on the enemy unit! I was gutted! :(

Yes, they don't need to be worked in order to get the health bonus, and this is true of wheat and sheep, too. The tiles do need to be improved though, work boat, farm etc. The point being to simulate the health advantage from a varied diet. Also, you can trade these resources with other civs and...

:lol: You mean there already is a Soviet colony on Alpha Century. Damn they must have been disappointed to find out the USSR had disintegrated four years earlier than they received the message. Do you think they still hold out as a bastion of Communism?!?! :lol: Yeah, I find the modern age...

Ha! What about Thomas Jefferson's "Empire of Liberty". What about the occupation of Mexican and then Spanish territory by war for no real reason other than land grabbing? The United States of America qualifies as an Empire in all terms but name. :lol: Well in some historical aspects it did, but...

I did kind of mention it under the context of humanism, but yes there is some who would suggest the next state of religious evolution is a belief in humans having absolute power and responsibilty in their own destiny with no reference to another force. I do owe an apology to monitor173, I...

Just go to the religion screen, select a religion then click on the "Convert" button at the bottom. As far as I know holy cities give you +1 gold for every other city that has that religion. Apart from that (pretty good) benefit there is no advantage. Also you get an intelligence bonus...

Try looking at it from a more fundamental point of view, or look at what Martinus quoted: Religion evolved as a need by the early human intelligence to understand the world. Think of it in a sense as growing up, you need to understand easy principles before grasping harder ones. Early...

I'm not quite sure what you're first query actually is regarding but I'll have a go at the second. I'm not an expert but I do read a lot around such topics and have a little relevant knowledge. Firstly a obvious point that you kind of made but is actually important: surely to reject many gods...

Yes, I know, I know. ;) Just the idea of downloading something at 2KB/s is slightly offputting and its supposed to be a broadband connection! :eek:

I tend to only use it when I have a city that has reached a population so large that its revolting about overcrowding, the unhappiness hit from sacrificing people is negligible by comparison.
