You can't "play to win" without re-loading constantly and abusing exploits? This poll is weird.

Move up a difficulty level.

That might almost be OP. Real nice transition out of the specialist economy.

Cool, how many hammers do I get for that?

hi i clicked on the thread labelled "rants thread" just to complain about being forced to waste my time reading it. hey wait...

I think of Spi/Phi/Fin/Ind as my crutch traits; if I'm playing a leader that has none of those four, I feel gimped.

Obsolete is having a bit of fun with you. The point of the blue circle IS to suggest a settlement site -- the problem is, with a bit of thought you can almost always find a better one than the computer suggests with the blue circle. The blue circle usually isn't a horrible spot, it's just not...

I read a lot about GP farms, and have tried making them in my games, but I'm hitting a wall of my own ignorance. How does one run a GP farm before (and after) Caste System? As far as I can tell, I get two scientist slots from the Library and then...that's it. What does one do to make one's GP...

I try to do this, really! And then I see those big stacks just...sitting there...and hey look, Gandhi's got what, two archers in that border city? I could just take ONE city and stop... I played a lot more peacefully before I started reading this forum.

I agree with the OP. Does anyone here ever do a private RPC for fun? I was thinking of trying to play a game where I only do "moral" things -- no slavery, go for emancipation/freedom civics ASAP, no aggressive war, no razing, etc. Or a game where I explicitly try to be evil, or whatever.

When playing peaceful, I'm always worrying about the big SoD coming in to wreck my carefully planned society. When warmongering, I obviously never have to worry about this. So to me a warmonger game is much less stressful. It's not that it's easier to destroy than create -- it's easier to be...

It seems like one of the AI's biggest blind spots is in understanding how to use siege to weaken stacks. If I'm outside an AI city and he's got a stack in there, he never has siege units, and if he does, he doesn't ever seem to attack my attacking stack with his defending siege and try to wipe...

Support for negative population was left in to accomodate the planned Zombie DLC.
