There are pretty good spots nearby. A pigs 2flood plains which I whipped a library and ran 2 scientists early. 2 cottagable river areas. A dry corn/gold/couple of more good squares spot. It has lots of tundra but I thought getting the corn gold plus a few flat and hilled grassland was worth a...

I just rolled a start that was great for cottaging, and there was decent sites for helper cities, so I decided to go for cottages early. I haven't done this in a while. I used to rarely whip, so I've been working on the whipping and I'm better for it. This time I decided to go back to...

my reply then you write Then you should work on your reading comprehension skills. I can't remember another poster alienating so many people so quickly. You constantly post something wrong, get called on it, then change your story. This has been said before, so I'm sure you'll...

Paging obsolete lol This is so far from true. I'll try not to be rude, but when other people on the forum have said similar things sometimes people are rude. I like marathon and I don't knock people for playing how they enjoy the game, but beating deity on marathon does not make you a deity...

I think marathon is 3 times the number of turns and the golden ages are only 2 times longer. But people are saying the golden ages are good for building troops. So I guess they are not as good because they are not as long as they should be unless you are building units?

2 separate topics. I'm a emp/imm player who fired up a diety game pangea/normal. I got a nice start that I was looking forward to playing but shaka wants to kill me at 1000BCs. Is this a normal DOW time on diety? On my previous diety attempts it seemed that early luck is crucial. On one try...

Is there something about this map that adds desert and peaks. I've been playing pangea forever and want to switch up my maps. I've started several games but I'm always surrounded by desert. Throw in a few peaks and some tundra and I don't even want to play it. I'm playing a large map with...

Yeah considered that. I wonder if the barbs speed up the ai with extra cities and gg ponts or slow it down. Maybe HC would be better with quechas out of gate but I'd prefer not to be financial.

The purpose of the game I started was to get to use modern military a lot. I hardly ever use them. I'm an emp/imm lvl player but if I go slower and actually pay attention to diplomacy I can play better. So I started a deity marathon game with SB huge/contiments/only time or conquest. Some...

How often can I go beg for gold on epic speed? Sometimes I can ask other civs to accept my religion and sometimes I can't. Even when I'm in org rel. What governs whether I can ask them or not? Thanks

I've heard it called cheating by a few, very few. Calling it cheating would be really stupid imo. I play with barbs off because I enjoy the game far more with them off. I hate the randomness where you may get attacked from no where, and I think fog busting as a mechanic is rather dumb. But...

Haven't played in quite a while and wanted to go at a few prince games to get back into it. Crushed a cottage economy game (tanks > longbows) and wanted one SE game at prince. Anyway pyramids went at 900 BC and I wasn't even close. Is that normal? I didn't have stone or a bunch of trees so I...

Yeah the oracle MC and GE bulb Mach is not hard to pull off. However, I did not build mids in my GE city. I will think about that next time. I am playing mao though this time on Emporor, not Qin. I love the CKN because it owns the field for so long. I would think that cover then drill would...

So I'm playing China while moving to marathon. I might stay there, not sure. Anyway Cho's are great like a lot of unique units on marathon I'm sure. There are a lot of options for promos. I find myself giving most cover and up the combat line. A few get shock and I use some for defense so...

Thanks. I had 2 black coastal tiles between cites.
