On the culture flip, there is another point to it to though. If you ahve 10 military units in one city (thats a bit excessive) and they have like 5 citizens and they are all resistors, then your city will be copmlelty unproductive, that makes since and thats hbeen done. Now you say that if...

Or however it is spelled. I personally am having a blast with germany and they prolly have the best color (who can resisit a sultry blue?). Their panzers kicks total ass and though they get their golden age a bit later, it is rather useful. If you can keep up when the other civs are all...

Well it depends on my civ. If I am religious, I will go to republican and if a war comes around, I will hit it over to monarchy (btw, people say that being able to switch governments is not that great but I have countless evidence saying that that is one of the best gimmies). If I am not...

I assume you aren't glowworm from mfo? Anyway, keep at least 1000 gold in your treasury because that will give the mas output from wallstreet (assuming you have built it) but yes, spend the money. Its like in life, if you make 100,000 a year, isn't a bit ridiculous to drive a beat up car and...

Yeah, the thing about strategy guides is that they really cant keep up with the game. I am a long time player of AoE/RoR/AoK/AoC and the strategy guides for those things were ****. They had what the producers envisioned the game to be like but thats not how the game was played at all. The...

Thanks ironfang. I have got a similair thing happening to me. I sit there with my peaceful democracy and just leach out and take cities with culture but then someone will get demanding and demand things for peace and I tell them to blow me so of course we go to war. Then when I start...

So my question to all of yall is which way you are playing the game. I didn't make a poll because I want you to justify your views. The obvious advantage of ICS is you take up lots of space but the down side is your corruption reflects monica lewinsky's abilities. Having a well knitt empire...

It hasn't worked for me, the comp hasn't been paying me too much but maybe it is a bit stingier at monarch. It seems like they only stay a few techs behind. As for the big treasuries... Well I am like you, I played AoE/RoR/AoK/AoC so I play the game a bit differently. The money in my...

My biggest rant is on Communism. I was up on everything as a german civilization taht was prospering. I had taken over England and a decent chunk of france and was generally whipping poeple around (O, and after having at least 50 elite units fight battles, I am still heroloess). So... I...

Ugh, and I saw these questions and thought... wow a blond is gonna show you all who is boss and then I saw yall already had the answers. There are only a few I dont know and its a damn shame I didn't get her earlier. Between Academic Bowl and my 6th-8th grade geography teacher, we learned ass...

I am pretty sure you only get one... There are multiple ways to acheive it and I think that is what is confusing you.

Asking nice the first time is always mandated and the second time, it is often the war option, sometimes (this i think is random) it will take three times but they have to be consecutive turns. The thing that pisses me off is that they get half way across you're territory by then and then it...

It is always a good thing, and they always run out in 20 twenty turns. The thing is, if you get one when you have two cities, the bonus doesn't really help much. Its really useful in the early early AD's basically when you have alot of cities and things start getting expensive. They were...

My sympathy goes out to those poor people who start in the jungles or mountains. You really cant win in either. One game, the babyl's started out in the jungle and i had about 8 cities and they still had three, I ate them for breakfast (the persian immortals helped) but they just couldn't keep...

Yeah, if you haven't figured it out yet or seen it, using that whip will give you a decisive edge. What I am really here for though is to ask for a simple tip. How do I "mobilize" for war? I am producing as many military units as the computer is with more cities and presumably higher...
