    How does the computer calculate every Civs military strength?

    I have heard that the Ai firgures in City state alliances also.I think this is true because I remember several games where the Ai waited for the exact turn that my alliance with a CS to Dow.He moved his troops brilliantly. That was no coincidenk you know what I 'm saying ;)

    Why does the game not have the actual music?

    I like the music.I think it is fitting.But maybe you are right maybe they can do better.Civ 4 music score was more epic and engrossing into the action I think.But I still like Civ 5 scores.

    Is it hard to keep up with the AI in Science on Emperor?

    This is very true.Also build your National buildings especially National College asap.Make those buildings one of your priorities. The Ai will have you wondering how they got up so fast in tech so we need as many bonuses as we can get. I just left Emperor for Immortal because the games were...

    What's your criteria for moving up in difficulty?

    Great question.I was at Emperor for the longest time maybe 2 years now.I told another player a couple of weeks ago he needed to move up from King and stop winning all the time.I get bored on Emperor even though I loose maybe 40% of the time.When I win I know I am going to win I just start over.I...

    Do you use nukes much?

    My Civ use of Nukes are much like my personal belief.I am a hawk in real life you take out the enemy and you do it however you need to including Nukes but you better have a good reason.I hate what it does to humans and I think the use of nukes are a weak way out of conventional war.So I very...

    Emperor Tech pace.

    If you are that smart that you know how to change code etc.Just learn how to out tech the Ai.I might not be as capable as you with code but I do most of the time some way some how and I am not as detailed as you.Its just a matter of understanding what tactical moves such as City placement for...

    Honesty and self critique

    What is your biggest flaw and or biggest thing you need to work on with your Civ Strategy?Do you even care to fix it?Is it fixable? You know game after game it is a major trend.You loose because of this major flaw in your game. My flaw is that early game I could be Attila I try to both build...

    Have you EVER had the AI say 'yes' to a demand?

    Yes it suprinsinly worked a few games back.Most of the time I think the Ai is calculating how much you actually want it / they know you actually won 't do anything about it.But I have mixed feelings about the mechanic. In Civ 4 I believe it was if you tried to bully the Ai and they gave in you...

    2nd Settler..... do you build or wait for liberty?

    I do both. If I am going Liberty which is rare now I wait until I get the policy in Liberty that gives the extra hammers then next I go for the free Settler policy.Usually after I have build my monument,scout,shrine,then Settler.(I used to throw in a granary before the Settler but not any more)...

    Civ Specific Great People

    Good point Lokit.I voted leave it as is.But your thought is interesting.But also alot of research goes into the game.I want the Developers to focus on the game itself.Not details like this.good thought.
