Would obviously need more context, but it's about optimizing your turns. The AI does not receive enough bonuses on Emperor to pull greatly ahead, as long as you don't get off to a terrible start. Are you growing first and foremost? That's obviously the most important thing, so review the ways...

And Poland gets about 5 free policies throughout the game, still trying to figure that one out... :confused:

Really? Space Victory is easiest for me on Immortal. I am a tall, building player, and if I can't keep up on wonders, I just go with science and pull away in the Atomic. By far the easiest victory for me, and less proactive mining for works of art.

Not sure why it wouldn't settle on the left there with oil, sheep, deer, and copper, but that's the AI for ya...

How do you get your culture out that far without a GG fort?

If you are on a separate continent, you absolutely have to maximize the land. I was playing as the Dutch with only 2 CS on my continent. I took 6 cities with Liberty, with decent locations. Had a lot of poulders and 5 fish at my 6th city. I took a huge unhappiness hit (prolonged stretch of -5 to...

When will the patch be online?

Late game is broken. It is what it is. Can't fathom why there is such a disparity in the economic game as the game progresses.

I have had no issues on Immortal. As long as I can get 3-4 cities up and growing with little hinderance early, I tend to rock. It is annoying avoiding the Diplo AI when you are playing versus Sweden or Alexander. If I am not going Patronage, then I obviously have to postpone a rising delegate...

Can anyone correlate how map settings in terms of size, speed, number of civs/CS's actually affect gameplay? I like to finish in one sitting so I go quick speed, but I find domination to be near impossible with the limited number of turns. What are the trends for these settings?

Who would have thunk it??? :lol:

Denounce only the low guys on the totem pole when you will get a diplo boost with the bigger cats in the game. Make sure most of the other civs are already at war or on bad terms with the person you denounce. Frankly, I rarely get the "Relations have broken down, we need a duel denouncement...

I think revolution to another ideology is not enough of a penalty. I went Order in a game to manage unhappiness, hoping it would become the dominant ideology. It certainly wasn't and all my happiness bonuses from Order was essentially doubled by unhappiness from the dominant Freedom ideology...

Does the AI weigh terrain? Like on a fractal map with a narrow choke point, only a sea invasion is possible. I was in a game with Monty right next to me and I was a 5 city tall Babylon pumping food and science like crazy. All I had defending was one warrior, with money saved up to mount a...

Did it come from Kongo? I forget what category they are. I was dealing with Egyptian Forest Elephants myself.
