I would contest this Using civtrader6's rome game on YouTube as an example, he managed to get somewhere in the region of 10 free monuments.

I have a question for you Lily. What turn (roughly) would you expect to be settling foreign coastal cities with England? I can't comment on most other civs. I usually only play England, Rome or Gorgo. Which is interesting, because you've scored England and Romes ability the same, despite...

Some start biases are taken into account. For example he gave England a -3

I think you mis understand. The very fact that the difference between 92 and 93 is difficult to conceive is why I think It's piffle. It's not meaningful. It's not useful. It seems arbitrary. And now we have a frame of reference. Thanks Lily.

Respectfully I think that's piffle. If what you suggest is true then we wouldn't need anymore then 1-5 It's not a more practical way. It's a less practical way. I can wrap my head around 1= The worst 2= Bad 3= Average 4= Good 5= The best The difference between 13 and 14, or worse 92 and 93...

I have read many people claim that you are a great player, and have no reason to suspect otherwise. I am inclined to trust, somewhat, your ranking method. However what I, and many others, would be interested to see is how your scoring system works. You seem to be reticent or completely...

Gosh I wonder why I didn't think of that.

Well I guess we won't need anymore patches then. :D I know you can win with England. You can win with anybody. I don't think that's a good rebuttal though. I can eat my beans on toast with a cocktail stick. But I'd rather use a knife and fork. :D

Okay so here are some of my thoughts on England. First of all I should say that I don't even mind England being a weaker civ. I like the idea of playing the plucky underdog. However they are too weak even for me. The issues have all been identified and presented far more eloquently then I...

I am, and I think I've played enough now to know what the specific problems are too. Will head over there shortly.

I'd like to see Harbours and Holy Sites disassociated from one another. Maybe introduce another tech (fishing) at the same level as pottery etc and giving the ability to work sea resources. Then move harbours to sailing. Also would like more ways to improve ocean/coast tiles as the game...

Can somebody please explain to me how the citizen yields for RNDY works. It says +2 gold and +1 science per citizen. But I have London at 9 pop and the RNDY is only kicking out 8 gold and 8 science. Why isn't it 18 gold and 9 science? Plus it's adjacent to my city centre and commercial hub so...

Haven't had chance to play for a few days. But I've just started a new game, and it seems that the game and map seeds are available straight from the get go. From the advanced options during game creation.

Just posting this because I accidentally hit the quote button whilst scrolling through this thread. Now I can't seem to get rid of it. Tried everything but the quote always pops back up at the bottom. Hopefully posting this will make it go away. EDIT: Success! In future, just use the back...

Another excellent response. Thank you. I've noticed a few people now seem to value the sea based resources quite highly (particularly the crab) can somebody shed some light on this for me please. I've always shied away from them, as you need a fairly useless tech (sailing) to access them and...
