I almost picked other just because it's hard to pick 1 civ. Reading TMIT's post on the previous page made me laugh because that's how I feel too: I like each civ for a different reason. :) I wound up picking France because: -I like all of their leaders at least a little (Napoleon first...

I can't see them, CBPE.

Okay, so how do you post the images in the middle of a post, instead of uploading them as attachments?

I can win on Monarch and am trying to make the jump to Emperor... a bit early I suppose, but I like learning quickly. Can someone tell me how to post pictures in the middle of spoilers?

You mean play with one leader until you win? Yeah, I'm down with that I guess. I definitely have a short list of leaders I favor more than others, but eventually I think you have to branch out and try other leaders. I found that as I used one leader more than others (say Qin Shi Huang) I...

So round 1 is due by Wed. Jan. 6 2010? I intend to do this Cookbook, I just want to gauge my time.

CFC got way cooler now that this is a thread. Something I dug up myself, too: # of doctors in the American Medical Association: ~240,000 (2007) # of physicians & surgeons in the US: 661,400 (2008) Therefore AMA membership would be about 36% of doctors. Since this Bureau of Labor stat...

That's a good idea. This'll give me time to play with my Christmas presents and apply for jobs w/o heavy distractions XD

This is a game played by TMIT and I believe he posted it on the forums somewhere, but I prefer the youtube video. I'm posting the parts when he uses ICBMs mostly, but before this point he heavily uses Tactical nukes. I enjoyed the whole series, but here's how I think it's best to use ICBMs...

Where did Izzy come from? Did some cities get liberated and she was someone's island vassal? BTW, nice game: your wars were pretty insane. Given that you basically wiped out 3 nations, it's ironic you won a diplomatic victory.

Wow I feel like a noob for my post right before yours -- I've been following ALC games (which have varying difficulties) simultaneously and forgot that the Emperor's Cookbook game is by definition on Emperor... :blush: That's a good point, and something I obviously failed to consider. I don't...

Hey everyone. I've been following this game on my own, though I started so late that I didn't bother playing it out and posting. I wouldn't mind doing the new EC, though, and I was going to put in a vote for Ghandi because his counterpart (Asoka) is my favorite leader. I figure the transition...

Yeah, I know I should slow down, but I find if I'm micromanaging too much stuff the game becomes too tedious to play. I automate about half my workers always and often forget to keep my specialists up in my cities, so they grow or work random stuff instead of what I might deem most beneficial...

Yeah I agree this seems like a great strategy, and I'll usually stack as many artists as I can feed in my culture cities. Having that slider up speeds up the process by quite a few turns, you know? I've never posted a save or screenshots of my games, but you just gave a really good play by...

At 1620 are you the culture giant? Usually when I go culture I turn the slider to 100% culture after I can build cathedrals in all my culture cities and a hermitage (with Nationalism) in the worst of the three. This usually happens well before Astronomy (aka right around where you are in the...
