I agree with horseshoe. Reading your opponents is everything. Keep an eye on demographics. It's hard to stay competitive with 3 cities if there's an expanding player in the game, especially late game. Going 4 or 5 is better if you have the happiness. Skickat från min iPad med Tapatalk

I mean when you have "Auto End Turn" which I think is courteous in multiplayer, allthough it has some drawbacks, like the one mentioned above.

I wonder if there's a way that you could assign the order in which the units will appear in the beginning of a turn? This would be huge in multiplayer. Maybe for future versions. This has bothered me alot in MP. Which is my main mode of play. I wonder if a combat unit could be assigned to...

I think Mike's Chapel for sure and Leo's Workshop because it upgrades settlers to engeneers, which is crucial when doing heavy improving / terraforming. Also Coppernicus Observatory for creating a SCC. I quite like the pyramids for rapid growth.

I hope im not copying someone elses ideas. I believe being located in tundra generally has little or no upside, but i do think there should be an advantage to it. For example, what if (as somebody suggested at the start of the thread) units that end their turn on tundra or ice would loose a...

I love it when you can turn a wierd start into success. I wrote about it in this thread:

Here is the picture: Added image tags to make attachment appear in post. Should try to use image editing software such as IrFanview to reduce picture size a bit, about 700 pixels or so across the top to better fit the forums.

I love to play odd starting positions that push me to get more creative. I love to combine different religious faiths with certain wonders and place my cities smart in order to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. This goes for MP games and single player games with lower difficulty where...

I don't, and we don't know each other. While building gl and nc other civs expanded around me (i was spawned on the middle of a tiny pangea map). what remained was a defensive stance (great wall, go for crossbows) i managed to break out and crush an opponent with 4-5 cities, but the fourth...

When I build a national college before even a second city, I expept a little but of tech advantage in the early game. I should have made more notes about stats and demographics. He didnt disclose his secret strategy. I've had civs with every city next to a mountain and not have that kind of...

He did have a bigger population than me, still i got the feeling that something wasn't "right". I got gl and took philosophy straight to build the national college, then i went for machinery, instead of education. Sure, he could have had education and observatory, but then he also had riflemen...

I played a four player game (not g&k) where one player was so far ahead in science he must have been cheating. I asked him how he did it, he said by building wonders. But I got the Great Library and immediatley after, the national college, still i had no chance of keeping up. So then...
