Trading your only resource is actually very useful. At lower difficulty where you are always ahead, this might sound stupid, but at higher level, since you are always behind and playing catch up, you might get something better in return by using this trick. You will never get a tech by...

Oh God! This is not showing up anywhere in the manual, C3C reference guide (DL from this site), or in game help. I traded my only ivory resource to Roman so I can get a tech boost 1 turn before I completed the Statue of Zeus. Big mistake! I don't get no ancient cavalry for next 20 turns...

As for expansion trait is bad, I will agree on lower difficulty game. But it is really a good trait when you are playing Emporer or higher level. I just won one in diety level with space victory using Inca. I would win it with cultural victory about 60 turns later too and that's how good it is...

You can not rush on any wonder building except using a leader (I think only scientic leader for C version. Great leader will work in earlier version). edit - well, you mentioned you can rush the one of the wonders. I am not sure how you can do that without using a leader. I will just rush one...

You can definitely win in deity level without GL, but the difference is huge. Try an expansion civ and if you can scout out fast (especially with inca's UU) and getting a lot of goodies huts and getting some good trades, you can have tech lead in early middle age without GL. But the point is GL...

Have you tried the ctrl-shift M? It will remove everything and show all the resource on the map. You might have missed some resources that are in the same spot as a city. If you are playing a large map and assuming with quite a few civs, there has to be more than 1 saltpeter on the map. So...

One thing that I have to agree is that the great library really changed the game. With or without it makes a big different in high level game. If you can time it right and get it in deity game, you can take your time to set up your cities and building armies. When you finally get the eduction...

2 immediate tech for only 200 shield? Even though this is done in late ancient or early middle age, that's still too good. What about keep it at 400 shields and give it 2 immediate techs + 50% research bonus in that city?

Are you talking about Shanghai? That city is not adjacent to any lake. The closest lake is 2 tiles away. You need to be right next to a lake to get the fresh water benefit (no need of aqueduct).

eldar, I remember I read it somewhere that you can build 32 cities in huge map before you receive the double corruption rate penalty. And if you are playing diety level, the penalty starts when you reach 60% of that number (if what I read is right, you get double corruption penalty after your...

Thanks. I think the FP is kind of screw up. I mean, it is pretty much a building that give the city itself no corruption and that's it. It doesn't help nearby cities (maybe a little). Isn't it suppose to be the 2nd capital and act like a 2nd capital?

I am playing C3 Complete version - 1) Temple - Whenever I captured an AI city, I have never seen a temple in there, but that city had expanded its territory. Do a city lose all cultural improvements up on capturing? So I will never see library, cathedraw, and other buildings that gives...

Let me fill the rest of your journal for you Day 5 - The withdraw symptom starts. You feel a loss of appetite. Day 6 - Instead of wet dreams, you dreamed how you conquered the world with Germany's Panzers. Day 7 - When your friends are talking about Stealth bomber, you couldn't stop by...

I read your previous post, but just did not know how far you went back in your save. Well, I am out of ideas. hopefully someone else can really help you with this problem. Anyway, don't get too frustrated. Take a break and do something else. Maybe something will come up. :crazyeye:

Maybe TOE can't be pre-built? Did anyone switch to TOE before? I think I did in last game. Don't remember by now. Sorry, I guess I am out of ideas. Maybe you want to load up the save and have people test it out. Actually, I always pre-build using palace. Maybe there is a limit on how...
