I'm trying to be more flexible with warfaring. If the position is right you've got to seize each opportunity. Sometimes I start war's with my scouting warrior. Under certain circumstances that can even be a good idea even in deity. You can steal workers and if you're lucky can capture a...

I'd have to agree with what Scuffer said. If the AI has nothing to lose it will to "stupid attacks". You can find this on any difficulty level - a weak cornered AI declares war on it's big neighbour which often time will be you (hopefully ;) ) But what should it do anyway? If I where you I'd...

Well, keep it up my seafaring friend. I did mean you in particular but if you feel adressed. . . . Maybe you're Spanish after all ;)

I think the thread has been going into the wrong direction for quite a while now. The real question is are there good reasons for reloading or not. I think there are - when ever you end up doing sth you didn't want or when you don't do sth you wanted it is okay to relaod. When what you do does...

None of the above because it does make little sense to research the most ancient techs. You can usually trade and or buy them (chieftain - emperor) or buy some of them and if you're lucky get others through small successful wars (deity) I like commercial civs and therefore I go straight for...

What can I say I've also had my experiences with the RNG. That warrior that fends off all my veteran legionaries :mad: that spearmen that just can't be taken out by my cav :mad: the conan like barbarian that butchers my fortified elite spearmen :mad: Sometimes you just need to take a deep...

As a Ptw player I like: 1) Great Library - must have on Deity which I'm trying out now 2) ToE because I really don't want the AI to have it 3) Sistine because happy ppl are always welcome, especially when WW starts kicking in 4) UN - a way of winning that I do not enjoy very much, but a...

The Aztecs GA is just a bit too early. IMHO it's better to have your GA when you have more than very few cities and have a somewhat decent government.

In my opinion the Jag is just funtastic if you use it smartly. I.e you can very quickly find out where the other civs are and can cripple them mightily. Just capture workers and settlers, pillage roads and escape! The stupid AI will build more units - some to defend itself against the...
