thanks guys for the answers. I understand how he can get to plot on me, I knew I pissed him off quite a while ago but that's exactly the reason why I bribed Genghis on him.. to keep Julius off my back. I thought that worked 100% of the time?? Are they really allowed to declare war WHILE already...

Hi there civ players! Starting a new thread here because I'm a bit lost with one of my games and I don't remember reading or watching anything that can help me with this certain situation. So I'm playing the 18 civ world map scenario: Deity No huts/events playing France/Louis Trying...

best advice I can give is: rush, rush, rush until you get broke and then stabilize your economy and then rush, rush rush... (only aim for best land like china/europe, don't bother with Africa, Siberia etc) if japan -> settle 2nd city into china and rush China/Mongolia. It's pretty easy...

It's really weird, in my last game I could liberate newly conquered cities to my vassals without them having any culture in it, and also couldn't gift some cities that had culture in it. I came down to the conclusion that if it belonged to someone else and you captured it, it needs to have...

this looks fun, think I'll try something similar in my next game to see how it works. by the way, I'm curious if any AI would go culture. Having all the infra + civics might push some into that direction and even with all the handicap they still have a chance I'm guessing.

chariots are great for barbs especially if you don't have metal. a couple of chariots can do the job just because they have 2 movement, sometimes only 1 is enough if you start on coast. i never rush with them except if I'm boxed in but usually it's better to go HA because you can setup an...

something i noticed by playing so not sure if I'm 100% right: Power rate (soldiers) + war success are definately bigest factor so if they have a big stack try to kill it with odds at least above 65% so you don't end up with the AI thinking he's winning the war. Then taking a couple of cities and...

how I usually play even though it depends pretty much on the strategy I choose: HE + IW (if I get IW before the game ends) WS - shrine or corp NE + GT + TGLib = big city from where I can starve in GAs WP - I usually don't bother with this one Moai - I only build it if I have stone or...

I'm no deity player, but before going for Stalin you need to figure an easy way to feudalism first. I'm thinking stealing that from Stalin with all the bonuses you have so alpha + CoL are the next critical techs I would choose. After alpha, I would just shut my research down to 0% until this...

I can't see the save because I'm not home but to answer specifically your questions with some general tips: 1st point-> I would settle only where I have a food resrouce (exception if I want to grab a strategic resource or block AI) -> don't over expand if you don't have to(i mean watch your...

Airships are nice but i wouldn't beeline physics just because the Ai usually goes for it and GS is useless at that point unless you still can burn it for a GA. in most cases I go with bio and trade it for physics only if I'm facing rifles. i can pretty much manage without the airships any...

Keep it up guys, we are many lurkers following i bet ...Oh yeah! :D can't wait for the next turnset

he's in war-mode, a few ICBMs should do the trick assuming the other AIs will be clever enough to take him out after you nuke him. if you have a monster production city i would go internet and take rocketry from that (rather than self-research arty/rocketry) and self-research fission while...

i wouldn't bother with culture but if you really want to try it i think it's far from beeing late. just decide on 3 cities with most food and wonders, beeline music and build the sistine, make sure you have both religions (and temples) in at least 6 citites so you can build at least 2...

i would beeline guidls and go for Pacal with HA meantime, he deserves to die and he is almost always a sitting duck. then recover your economy a bit (shouldn't be a problem with all the shrines + market/grocers once you get guilds). Knights, aren't the best unit in teh game but if you get them...
