It’s funny – I think the three early wonders mentioned are some of the best. The Great Wall – On higher difficulty levels, barbs can be quite annoying. If you build this you can REX pretty freely. It could pay for itself in :hammers:s spent for :hammers:s not having to spend in units early...

Check out kossin's daily round. Most of his games are with warfare. He sometimes does early rushes. I have seen successful ax and chariot rushes on immortal but I have not done one. The earliest warfare I have done on immortal were with quecha, a unique chariot or horse back riding. My...

Yeah, I was wrong. I read some posts above and it temporarily gave me brain farts. This explaination seems more accurate but I'm still puzzled over my Sitting Bull example.

Not that this answers all questions but I thought I’d share this funny thing that happened in a game. Sitting Bull, who was isolated (he was sort of close to a continent with civs on it but he didn’t meet them until caravels) founded Buddhism. Somehow Buddhism spread to a city on...

I have not played Civ 5 yet. I will not make a claim on which game is more complex until I do. I can not asses the credibility of the OP’s claim. Still, I will point out some statements about civ 4 BTS that just seem wrong to me. I am not trying to engage in a social pissing contest...

Thank you coanda. Ataxerxes : See my screenshot. Whether ‘full member’ or ‘voting member’ mean anything for the UN is what I’m asking – but the labels full member and voting member certainly do exist. My current interpretation is this- If you are not a full member you can not be...

This is off topic my OP, which doesn't seem to be getting answered.

First off, I do put an asterix next to my anti-Versailles building statement that states "on fractal maps." Then again, this is why I put my difficulty and map type in my signature - what advice one gives has everything to do with these things. And no, I am not familiar with Terra maps. I've...

OK well the problem is we are not talking about any particular game. I suppose it could be possible to make some money off of this 7 city island before Versailles/Forbidden Palace/ State Property but it is by no means guaranteed. But then you see, my statement that you shouldn’t build...

...7 cities settled peacefully on a new landmass before State Property...this doesn't kill your economy how? Maybe with Greatlighthouse it doesn't, otherwise it is. And 1 of these newer cities (how much time did you have inbetween astro and Divine Right?) has enough production to build...

Nope, the unhappiness just goes away after a certain amount of turns. That’s my guess too but I want to know for sure. Anyway, on to the game, which I just completed. Izzy built the UN and Bizzy had the highest population. Bizzy got elected. I had +10 :mad: for defying 2 resolutions...

But AIs seeking a cultural victory didn't get it. And you can probably trade some of those musicals, singles, movies for resources or gold. If the city is completely surounded by a hostile civ and you call for / accept peace, you f'ed up your war plan. Victorious warriors win first and then...

Shucks, no helpful eager beavers in Asia or with insomnia want to help a brother out? Guess I’ll go into this blind, approve the next resolution, damn the consequences and pray for a diplo win as it’s my only shot (short of some sort of improbable nuclear holocaust.)

Fair question. A screenshot could answer this well but I’m lazy so I’ll try to verbally describe my civ at that time – which honestly drives me nuts when others do it. Crowded 6 civ fractal Pangaea (with Sitting Bull on an island chain.) I had not unlocked HE yet, there...
