When you were pre-emptively nuked, did you not have nukes yet yourself? I'm curious.

It's awesome starting the game right next to a few gold mines. It's almost like starting with some free towns, once you get them mined, plus you can easily trade it for other resources. Other than that, Iron is obviously pretty safe.

The trebs are way over-powered and are going to be toned down.

Praetorian, for my style. A few other mentionables: the panzer is awesome but comes a bit too late. Samurais and redcoats are both dominant in their time. After that, i'd take the Impi or the Keshik, for their awesome mobility. Crappiest: Jaguar Warrior. A weaker swordsman who defends in the...

I'm disappointed in the Celtic UB and UU.

IMO, protective is the most useless trait in the game. You pick it if you're playing to lose. Thoughts? I think another bonus needs to be added to the "protective" trait to make it more useful. For example, wasn't the "charismatic" trait planned to be without the "+1 happiness" initially but was...

I figured out the pixels were from other parts of the screen. I realized this when starting a new game and noticed black dots were appearing on the revealed areas of the map and little blips of green (grass) and blue (sea) appearing in the black, hidden areas. If it occurs again I'll try to get...

You have to have been sniffing glue to think Louis is among the "worst" :p IMO, Mao Zedong. Protective and Expansive are my two least favourite traits, the Chukonu isn't that powerful, the UB is pretty good, though.

The pixels from hell are back again and this time rebooting isn't doing anything. WTH! It's like fireflys are flying all over the screen.

I can't stand the fact Buddhism doesn't come after Hinduism in the tech-tree. It's like founding Christianity before Judaism, or Islam before Christianity, it's just completely non-sensical. I like the fact confucianism is included as a religion though I'm surprised by the absense of Sikhism...

Update: Restarting the machine cleared up the problem. I had tried restarting the game alone prior to making the post, to no avail. Anyways, fixed.

I've been playing Warlords since it came out without any problems. This morning I load up my saved game, 1782AD, 7 civs standard map. After about 2 minutes, this bizarre pixelation starts appearing randomly and rapidly in dozens of spots all over the screen. They're rapidly shifting position and...

Wrong. -50% effectiveness for non-gunpowder units. Catapults and trebuchets don't bombard walls, only cultural defenses.

I agree with the gist of the main post. One thing people forget though is that musketmen don't suffer from wall defenses like macemen do. So when attacking a city with walls, it's like automatically having CR1 and CR2 and a little more. I think musketmen would be more powerful if they qualified...

Impis should be blacker.
