The events aren't completely random, they're influenced by certain things. For example, if you found a city near city ruins you can get an event related to them, but not otherwise. Just a clarification.

I only get "surely you must be joking" when I have the resource. Are you sure it's not that?

Financial/Organized is strong, but hardly any better than other combinations. Now Industrial/Philosophical, THAT would be incredibly overpowered. I'm pretty sure they're deliberately avoiding that trait because of its potential to dominate.

300 the movie is based on the 300 comicbook, which is vaguely based on the battle of thermopylae with superhero elements thrown in. Inaccurate is the best word to describe the movie.

Littlewood's Law - Miracles happen once a month.

Try it. It works. The AI doesn't just look at its relation modifier with you, I thought that was painfully obvious as evidenced by the fact that they will attack if despite a favorable attitude.

The only way to diplomatically secure an alliance is to actually create an alliance. Defensive pacts and cooperative wars are how you build allies, not trading resources and stuff. The AI will try to improve it's position even when it means stepping on allies. If you want to be war partners, you...

Well, in that case, your mileage may vary. Different civs in different situations perform differently in different war situations.

What difficulty are you in?

Too much speculation with too little concrete evidence. You really can't make a good prediction at this point in time. Don't bother discussing it, it's like thinking about how many users will migrate from the PS3 to the PS4- there's too little information, too little precedence, too little to...

Well no, it doesn't, but it sure as hell makes you look like an immature person. Internet. SERIOUS BUSINESS.

It's a bug, report it.

My only problem with it is that on my computer the turns take way too long very early into the game. I don't know why, but I bet I'd enjoy it once I upgraded my computer.

Beyond the Sword just came out and I'm sure we're all scrambling to deal with the vastly improved AI. I know I am. Blake is a genius! With the new civilizations there are now a hefty amount of aggressive civilizations. Furthermore, the AI is really bolstered by the Aggressive AI game option...
