Having played a bit 2vs2Aivs2AI with a friend, I have the distinct impression that the AI in multi player games is considerably worse then that in single player(and that's saying something...). They just seem to play really passive.

Usually skip navies. But tried it once and built 4 frigate and a privateer Was pleasantly surprised by how much they contributed-took Berlin and sniped a lot of units-even though in part because the AI is stupid with unneccessarily embaring units.

The next logical step would be to make a colonial expansion. Historically there was a new wave of settlements during the renaissance and onwards due to colonialism. In Civ 5 you would be insane to build cities at late renaissance. So the expansion would at a minimum have a new super settler...

As has been said bnw requires at least a civ 5 to play. Hence starting with the gold edition, then buying bnw later is the advisable path. Especially as while BNW adds many good new features, the complexity may get daunting for a beginner, so its probably better to start with just the gold edition.

Had a game of China-everything was going great, then rome attacked. In my Hybris I decided not to switch production to cho-ku-nus, rather finish Notredam. Turns out 2 cho-ku nus cannot stop a horde of legionaires and ballistas. Reloaded and easily handled the attack when I actually produced...

Always: Oxford National College Ironworks Usually National Epic Heroic Epic Circus Maximus When going culture: Hermitage National Visitors center Rarely National Intelligence Agency East India Company Never Grand Temple So usually around 5-6

Easiest way to win dominion? I would say concentrate everything on Science, with 3-4 well developed cities(pretty much standard strategy for most victory types), then when you have established a sufficient tech lead(can be as early as crossbowman or as late as artillery), start conquering...

While many of these are linked, I voted Science >>Every thing else. The easiest way to win is to establish a science lead. Once you have done this you can pretty much just pick your victory condition. Conversly builds that weaken science(slow NC and education, etc) become quite weak, as you...

Swedish here. First the good things Leader-The obvious choice, but good that they made it. UU well chosen, would have liked to see the caroleans get offensive bonuses(carolean strategy and training was nearly exclusively based on attacking) but march also fits thematically(and assume balance...

Once as China, was really stupid-was building Notredam and when the roman legions arrived, I did not want to switch production to protect myself(somewhat underestimating the numbers against me). Reloading from an auto save I easily crushed his attack and proceeded to wipe him out.

Camel Archer 35 Cho-Ku-Nu +39 Impi 14 Keshik -39 Longbowmen 40 Cho Ku Nus-extreamly powerfull-upgrade well and level quickly Still maintain that keshiks and camel archers upgrade too poorly to be worthy of best unit.

Camel Archer 35 Carolean 8 Chu-Ko-Nu 43 Impi 36 Janissary 18 Keshik 43 Longbowman 39 Pathfinder 10 Really like the Carolean. I am actually surprised that keshiks and camel archers are doing so well. Don't get me wrong they are incredibly powerful-but they both upgrade horribly meaning that...

Camel Archer 40 Carolean 39 +1 Chu-Ko-Nu 40 Impi 37 Janissary 38 Keshik 42 Longbowman 39 Pathfinder 34 Ship of the Line 16 -3 Siege Tower 22 Carolean-march is extremely nice and upgrades well. Ship of the line has the great weakness of being unable to go on land making it...

Assyria?-newest of the ancient civs.

I like oracle, ToA and HG-all possible to get at immortal-I did not mention GL as I think that it is to much a gambit to go for it.
