I find castles to be quite useful, mostly for how much life they can give to your cities' defensive bonus. I tend not to unit spam, so often I end up in a bad position where the enemy has a large stack w/ a decent number of siege units and the castle gives me the extra turns i need for...

This has happened to me before too, although I don't think I was about to get my a** handed to me by the AI. Also would say that this is not a bug, the resolution is to 'stop the war vs (player)' which is all wars between voting members and (player), which is exactly what happened, voting was...

thanks for the fixes; I didn't realize that the screens (glace) could be so easily edited. One thing I always thought was missing from glace was the ability to see how much WW the AI has towards you, which you cant see since the column w/ the player's leaderhead is not visible. So after a few...

Is anyone else's xml files in custom assets not working? Does this thing from the change log change how custom assets works? --- nevermind, it seems to work now

best place to put it is between a large lake and an ocean, w/ a lighthouse all of the lake tiles will yield 3 :food: 1 :hammers: and 2 :commerce:. If you have some other good resource tiles in range a good moai statues city can easily become the best in your empire.

I already have proper global warming, none, seeing as it doesn't exist.

its funny how when you put one person on your ignore list, half the posts in just about every thread disappear.

I usually try to pick a good leader/civ combo for the type of map I am going to play but a few times i forget to select and end up going random. I have found these to be some of the more fun/memorable games that I've had and I was thinking about doing more randomness. What sorts of options do...

I always look to put it at one of these sites. in my current game it is currently my top production city around size 20 in late renaissance era

play w/ random personalities on for more interesting/unpredictable game play.

yea the glance screen is excellent, hopefully they are just referring to that grey box w/ a Plus in it, in the upper left corner that doesn't do anything (as far as i can tell?).

I know this doesn't apply to the OP, but I've noticed the computer likes to make a ton of workshops and use them w/ Caste System civic. I never used to make workshops, but I tried it in my current emperor game and its working pretty well. I can focus my commerce cities better and focus my...

despite all the . .. .. .. .. .ing its not unplayable. Also movie work fine for me. Warned - Language

that is the war weariness you have toward each different civ.
