My understanding is that the more pronounced colour is already completed and the greyed out colour is what will be completed at the end of the current turn.

The premier war techs are Chariots, X-bows, Artillery, Knights (Not 100% sure on this one being on the power level), bombers, etc. You could try Compbow rush I guess? I'm more of a MP person and play quite peaceful in SP, so not sure if those techs are relevant at Immortal/Deity.

Personally I've generally preferred a straight Trad opening (due to my playstyle of 'peaceful simcity', but I need to get better at warring, etc) and honestly don't play the game enough to properly comment. Although recently I've been trying a Trad/Lib mix (post patch too). That goes Trad...

Oh that's what you meant. For some reason I thought you meant they had higher base food :blush:. That makes sense, but you are still reducing potential growth. I'm coming from a more MP view, whereas you're coming from a more SP view, right? In SP all civs have basically the same...

True, but you are using those anyway (or should be) no matter the civ. So, to me, that's a moot point. This I did not know.

I'll agree with that. I just didn't feel like typing up a massive paragraph for each point. So I thought I'd let the numbers 'speak for themselves' :). Using maths (I'm using multiplicative stacking for Factories and Workshops/Longhouses as I don't know how it's stacked and can't find it). For...

To quote a good and possibly well known MP player from the NQ group (filthyrobot aka saltyrobot), "All the Iroquois bonuses are detrimental to their game". This might be only skewed towards MP though. Their first bonus (moving through forest as if road). If you move to/from road to...

I generally save them and then bulb them for when I need the golden ages/culture. Remember to get the most out of you GW, do it at T8 or later of a golden age (as is counts the last 8 turns of culture).

The advice here is pretty sound. I'd say try a Prince game to master the happiness changes between the levels and then you're fine to move up another one. Personally I started Prince and then just jumped straight to Emperor after about 6-10 games (currently Immortal), but need to really improve...

Well, you certainly beat me. I even played it again and went Freedom, cut off about 10 turns off my Order time, but my cities were worse (about T295). Mind you, that was with hard building workers :). You nearly got my cities spot on. Cap and Oll are in the same spots. I had Tiw where the...

@Bleid All good :). @all I'm trying it again, but this time without going into Lib and going Fertility Rites pantheon. I might even try Freedom this time, just to be able to buy the parts as

1. I see what you're saying, however, this is the first time I've been able to do a 4 city NC by turn 80 (all cities were 5-12 pop). Also, I still opened Rationalism about the same time as normal. 2. I'll try that. With most of the guides I look at (mainly on here), they say at about that...

I had enough money to rush buy them in every city. I've seen a lot of posts about RAs and come to my own conclusion that it's better to save the money for lab, etc. Especially when going for speed. My policy order was: Trad open > Liberty open through to settler > finish trad > enter...

So I had a pretty good game last night. As the Inca, got a 4 city NC ~T80 and Edu at T114. My 2nd city had +10 gold Natural Wonder and 4th city had Barrier Reef and 4 fish. All of my cities were going really well growth wise, I was managing to keep on top of happiness, even with -15 from...

It wasn't just Ghandi that liked him more than me, which is why I'm so confused (however, I did forget about that modifier, so thanks :)). How long does it usually take to get such a message? I promised not to, and then it never popped up (and there was ~200 turns of play after I promised)...
