Will give the random techs a try, but it takes away one of the best player advantages at higher levels, which is beelining important techs. I have a feeling it will just lead to frustration, like trying to find laser techs to speed up a spaceship. This will make timing of upgrades before an...

Forbidden City [17] (20-3) Best of the policy slot wonders since it's a wildcard, and a nice culture boost to boot, but at this point it's weaker than the remaining wonders. Kilwa Kisiwani [25] Mausoleum at Halicarnassus [4] Oracle [27] (26+1) Since you will have to build this early, it will be...

If Deity is not enough of a challenge, try playing Georgia.

Yup. Mountain tunnels and the return of railways sure ease the drudgery of moving an army across a continent

The encampment would block that hex, but the enemy units could pop out on another hex adjacent to the Qhapaq Nan. Still not a bad idea as it would slow them down.

Well, learn something new every day. :thumbsup:

Interesting. Ottoman is also at war with Eleanor of Aquitaine, and she is my ally. Maybe that's where the glitch is.

They are occupied, as I cannot make peace, so cannot cede. I only get the usual diplomacy screen, and can still trade with him.

Playing as Inca and my Ottoman neighbor, who had been friendly with me all game (since we mostly had a mountain range between us) began to attack some of my units. I assumed he had declared war, and I had missed the notification. After several turns, I glanced up at his icon and it showed the...

Probably the walls. Civs have trouble taking walled cities. That's why I use mod to give CS walls at start because it keeps them around faster.

I thought knowledge of all NHL teams was prerequisite for citizenship. He must be an imposter.

Scripture is +25%. Seemed faster than that. I could be wrong.
