Yes, but if there is one worker in the city and you can't take it. Your power has to be at least decent to have a chance to hold a city even only one turns. If your ennemy is too powerfull, he will slaughter your paras and others troops. In my last game, if i had paras instead of commando i...

I'm almost always agree with you but this is wrong. I razed countless times the capitol of the top ai with tac nukes+commandos to prevent him to winning. But at immortal and deity, the top ai is almost always way more powerful than me. All i need is to keep my capitol a few turns. It's...

What irony, i just won a game where the space elevator was useful. I hadn't any intention to built it, but i bulbed "accidentaly" 2 engineers in ten turns (20% probability) and i get Robotics in the same time via internet. So i build it. But it is a very situational.

You have to improve your diplomacy. I'm often very weak military but i am very rarely attacked. Bribe warmongers and backstabbers against each others, join some phony wars against a distant hated opponent. Give them some free techs, nevermind. Pick the more popular religion. If the more popular...

To be honest, i don't remember the last time i lost while being ahead in tech. This almost never happens, i play big maps so usually i haven't any AP issue ( and rarely onu lost as well) and if am ahead i can prevent a culture win. I lost often, but each time i manage a lead, i win, the...

1085 AP is an average date. 225 AD is incredible though

I only built the Space elevator one time. But it was because i was confortably ahead with a sure space win, i just wanted to have fun because i had 11 commando infantry, so i upgrade them to meca in order to blitz some ai out of the map. In a tight game, it is basically useless unless you got...

Sorry, it's a very old thread but i'm really upset by this post. CR is awesome and i already won a couple of games at immortal with this wonder alone. When a powerful ai enter in a WHEOOHRN mode, you know that you will be his victim and you can't bribe another ai because your agressor is...

I'm proud of myself. I just finish the weakest win of all time. Look by yourself (turn after my spaceship landed) :sad: Huayna doom me 17 turns before my victory just after i completed the IDS with the greatest army i ever seen from the AI, i moved my capital from Paris to Orleans...

It's harder to have 3 warmongers and one Zara which tech well when you are fighting continually with Shaka and Gengis and fall behind him. But if you have only warmongers, tech pace will be very slow and you will be able to out-tech them eventually. Worst possible map on continent would be...

You are in the middle of a pangea map, surrounded by 6 AI, like this o o o X o o o What would be your "worst set"? For me, it's tough to say, but probably: Chaka (you're rarely safe with him, though you could use him as a attacking dog) Gilgamesh (hard to rush...

I understand what you mean, if i have a good production and if i'm on par military wise with the civ i'm fighting, i use nukes only to kill massive stacks. BUT, with nukes, you can win even when you are small and insanely weak military wise. I already take down several gigantic powerful...

My capital was jungle free but that's it, the rest was.... well, green ;) I lost this game, never been able to catch up tech wise, i was close because i lost liberalism for one turn :fou: (lost against the only civ i hadn't discover yet) I was friend with everyone but i rolled some ai which...

Iron? Wow, i didn't read this threat, just the first page and i admit i am very curious. I almost never tech myself iron working, this teach is costly and when you finally have your iron, it's too late and you need cata. Ressource number one for me is obviously uranium. I already take...

First, sorry for my poor english level. I consider myself a decent player, i play mostly at immortal, sometimes at emperor, but i always struggle badly when i get a start in a middle of a jungle. This is weird, really. In my current game, jungle is everywhere and i haven't any happy ressource...
