I think the main difference between Prince and King is learning to manage your citizens manually and take advantage of tile yields. Focus on food for as much as happiness will allow you to, plus a couple mines. If you really need a building/wonder/unit, change to production focus for a few turns...

China will build the Globe Theatre every bloody time.

Dude, you're playing Austria. This is the best gift you could possibly be given. Ally and marry Jerusalem, those are some good cities and I'd be willing to bet that Gao has a few wonders.

I just had the best game as England. Archipelago, Standard Speed, Standard Size, King difficulty. Went super science focused until Navigation, then just went capital to capital with 6 SoTLs, with Longbows garrisoned in my cities. Won by turn 230, needless to say I will definitely be playing...

To butt in on the above debate, I think one thing that's great about Civ is that people like it for different reasons and play it different ways. Personally, I enjoy playing against characters, I love the leader screens and I enjoy the light roleplaying you can do (I once delayed a standard...

So basically, I bought Civ5 a couple years back on a whim (vanilla release too, ouch!) and became obsessed. It's kind of got me into playing strategy games and I persevered though all the patches and expansions until I got really, really hooked. However, I know it's a common sentiment that...

Arabia - 23 Aztec - 11 Babylon - 8 China - 17 England - 9 Ethiopia - 16 Germany -20 Inca - 20 Korea - 21 Maya - 24 Poland - 25 Portugal - 13 Siam - 7 Zulu - 19 Aztecs make for an amazingly fun early game, and late game warring will net you at least one extra ideology tenant. Their UB, UU and...

Aztec - 16 Babylon - 10 China - 25 England - 18 Ethiopia - 16 Germany - 21 Inca - 19 Korea - 24 Maya - 24 Poland - 25 Portugal - 10 Siam - 10 Sweden - 3 Zulu - 22 Poland are great. Easily the best civ, and pretty fun too. And I hate to downvote the same civ two times in a row, but Haile is...

I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed when I found out Elvis wasn't a great musician.

And I thought I checked all that before posting :lol:. My bad.

Arabia - 24 Austria - 12 Aztec - 16 Babylon - 19 China - 27 England - 25 Ethiopia - 22 Germany - 22 Greece - 8 Inca - 15 Korea - 23 Maya - 29 Mongols - 14 Persia - 17 Poland - 20 Portugal - 20 Rome - 16 Shoshone - 16 Siam - 23 Songhai - 14 Spain - 4 Sweden - 18 Zulu - 22 I fully believe the...
