If I'm not mistaken your units in enemy territory, as well as opposing units in your territory also contribute. So giant stacks of 3 move units can help you be at war forever without triggering weariness since they can generally reach the city and attack in a single turn, and therefore aren't...

I am doing something similar so I play all the tribes at least once. I am just working backwards through the list. So I played Incas (Spaceship) and am on Portugal now (just started). Playing on Monarch, largest map, 16 civs, and all the middle choices for landmasses, barbs on one of the...

So...what *exactly* makes me decalre war on someone that fights someone I have a MPP with? Here's an example that played out in a current game I am playing, which confused me: I basically conquered my continent and wanted a piece of another one. I didn't know who to decalre on (and didn't...

Roger that. I thought surely someone would have come out with a mod for her Modern era leaderhead but my searches came up empty. I realize its an attempt at humor but for some reason that one actually angered me. Wierd. Surely there's some talented individual with too much time on their...

Well here's my take on the the whole :spear: thing Obviously, if a bunch of dudes with spears charge a battalion of tanks, they would lose stupidly. But what if a bunch of technologically challenged spear-folk instead lure the tanks onto a narrow path and trigger an avalanche which sends the...

Y'know most PRNG stuff I chalk up to bad luck, but I've also witnessed alot of what might be described as "very statistically improbable" battles when it comes to galley on galley action. The situation theDregs points out, where one stinkin galley sinks 3 galleys, is not uncommon at all in...

Interesting, I already play with alot of these rules. Mostly because for some reason I feel guilty for initiating war, starving the populace, etc. Although I never considered the whale/elephant thing. I like for my civ to make the world a better place, not pollute and bombard everything :)...

If anyone here's old enough to have played and enjoyed most of the Ultima series (before it turned into Ultima Online), you probably know EA did to Origin exactly what is described in the first post of this thread, which ultimately ruined the final Ultima game. There's people to this day...

I like to keep as many civs alive as possible for as long as possible. Makes for a more interesting game. I chose Space Race.

I used to have the same problem. I found playing semi-pacifistic to be a much more enjoyable game than the constant moving battle front where I had the game wrapped up halfway through. Not only is most of the game just playing out the string, each turn gets longer and longer as I acquire more...
