It happens to everyone at some point. Instead of a slow paced TBS game, try out some fast paced FPS:s like COD or Quake Live for example.

The more randomness there is in a game, the less strategic it becomes. And let's face it, CIV is a strategy game.

It's never crossed my mind that the AI's could "see" where the resources are. Based on my experience the AI's settles the most idiotic places they can find. :lol:

This happened to me also not too long ago.. but as lymond stated: check which wonders are built before you use your great engineer.

I'd settle SE of the crabs, later attack Isabella and keep the city. After that I'd settle 1W of the Iron too.

Worker first, except if you only have seafood in the BFC and fishing researched. The only other exception is when you go for a quechua rush.

Reading things like this makes me smile. Isn't this code raping? :lol:
