Ok, that dissection of culture was good info thanks. So out of curiosity, I tried an experiment with culture bombing. I searched around some forums, and found comments about someone creating a mod where they made Missionary's able to do mini-culture missions. Drawing from that, I went to the...

Still horrible results. Using the Espionage Advisor screen, I finally found another russian city where I had the Spread Culture option available. Rostov had 11% of my culture there already. So I had over 110,000 points saved up, 12 spies moved into the city. Sat them there a while to decrease...

I hadn't remember the spy was also able to offer up an Influence Culture mission in bts.. so went looking to use that. It's not coming up. Every single other option, from revolts to stealing tech are appearing in my mission options list, but nothing for influence culture. I thought.. ok...

Ok but really.. sometimes.. don't you want to use an approach of semi-slaughter? Take a third or half the guy's cities (varying from civ to civ), and not have to do the huge chase to wipe out each and every one? You know, make a big footprint on them, but don't kill them off per say, just make...

So I've been slaughtering the enemy. Taking cities. Burning Russians. In the 1950's I take Moscow. I rush-buy through all the culture-based buildings. I post 8 units to the city. Then after all that, I set the place to only produce Culture, along with 8 Artist specialists. So I get 246...

I don't like them. I find they add too much expense and give me nothing useful. Nothing I can't do better with a little micro managing. I'll never use them again. I think corps are as horrible a waste as the great artist is now for trying to settle a rioting population. So BTS added some...

So no one has a way to edit the GA or the globaldefines to create a work-around for this problem eh? How do we go about getting Firaxis to make a fix to this in a patch?

Crap.. that was something I was trying to get to test as being discussed in another thread where I was talking about city revolts. That sucks. Certainly it makes sense for the sake of game balance to apply some resistance factor to conquered cities. But its too far in the wrong direction. To...

Well having extra military units doesn't seem to do anything. One city I took, I have 8 units in it (5 Panzer's, 3 marines) and its now well back from the "front line" of my onslaught. The revolt status just ticks down at the same 'ol rate of one per turn from its starting point of 10...

Aronnax "Never have a vassal, murder them!" --LOL, spoken like a true Hun/German/Clingon... Gary4Civ --Good to know this is something that could sneak up on us, thanks. I never would have thought a vassal was eligable for victory either. I kind of think of it as semi-free slaves. Anyone...

So is there a really good way to minimize the number of turns a city will end up in revolt when you take it by brute force? I understand that with the ones at your culture border, your cultural influence can sway them, and then in conquest, you should see a short turn-around. But when you...

RERomine - yeah I've just started seeing that weird problem now too! A Korean city I took on a small continent, no where near the USA Civ, is now asking to flip to the USA. I already made the USA a vassal and reduced it to a mere 4 or 5 cities on a few tiny islands.. so.. where did he get the...

ds61514 - I've aded the theatre, lib, university, etc, and its now late in the game (1900's), but every so often I keep getting asked if I want to return the city over to them. I have a large swath of my own cultural border showing around the city too. So I dunno what I'm missing here.. I...

C4BTS.. You're German (for example). You just captured an Egyption city. That city is like 99% Egyption. What is it particularly, that you do to start getting the population to become more Germans so that you can stop the city from asking to re-join the Egyptions every so often? Are...

I got the marathon event as a German empire.
