I have 20 towns. Near my capital is swamp/jungle. If I add a new town in this area, will corruption in the further-away towns increase? From my limited knowledge of the rank/distance equation, I'm thinking the answer is NO.

I've exited the AA and have entered the MA. Iron will be king for awhile, but I only have 1 source. Do you guys prioritize getting a 2nd source (fearing your only source could 'disappear')? Is it a goal high enough to make you alter your entire attack strategy?

Will the AI join an MA by offering them cities, or doesn't that work?

I don't have an embassy with the Celts. They declared war on me. I built an embassy with the Aztec. Aztecs and Celts are at war, according to the diplomacy screen. Question: Since I'm at war with a civ I have an embassy with, will I be notified if they make peace with the Celts? Will I be...

Is the AI willing to sell me a tech for x number of my cities? I'm attempting a zero-science game and need to know tech-acquiring strategies, besides pointy-stick.

So a lone warrior in a barricade located on the border could ZOC a passing mech inf and start WW3. Scary.

Mayans and Babs have MPP. I declare against Mayans but don't attack during my turn. Off on an island, Mayan Cav comes onto my land and attacks my infantry, which holds. So I figured since the Mayans 'drew first blood', it shouldn't trigger the MPP. So I pillage their tile on the mainland...

If the AI gets to my fortress/barricade will it auto-pillage it, or does it get the defensive value from it?

I ended a turn with 3 Mongol scouts in an AI's territory. All 3 got booted. Workers appear to be treated the same. The 0.0.? stat can only be trusted so far.

vorlon, try this: In the map editor, set the huge size to 200 x 200 and play with all 31 civs. This is a good map size for pangea. You'll get between 7 -10 cities. Russia is my favorite civ for this map. If you want continents, go with 210 x 210.

I'm playing Mongols on Emperor with 31 civs in Monarchy and haven't done any research except Philosophy, which I wasn't the first to discover. I extorted Gunpowder after killing 20 units; raized 3 towns; pillaged capital; MA'd with one other civ. I've set a lone scientist to Chemistry and am...

As I follow the classic research path to Republic I find I soon run out of things to build. The few towns that get barracks crank out swords, the high food town creates settlers, and I'll build a temple only to relieve cultural pressure. Curreny, Const, and Lit aren't in yet so I'm left...

I'm kinda confused as to how to you attack cities. So until Artillery is available you are attacking muskets and rifles with cats? Or don't you do any city attacking until RP?

Emp, huge pangea, 31 civs. I know 27 civs, only one civ knows a tech I don't know. I've wiped out Spain and Egypt only has 2 towns left. I will be in constant war until this game is over. I'm curious why you guys don't think upgrading cats is a good idea. They are barely adequate against...
