Small update: turn 140, ive dropped to fifth in tech (102 beakers per turn) but my lit. percent is just 3 behind the leader. I settled three more cities (8 total) and am now 3rd in land and 2nd in pop. I also decided to go to war with my nearest neighbor, Oda. He was defending with warriors...

Wow this is unfortunate but it seems the AI is not handling the new patch very well :( First game, immortal difficulty, standard size, pangaea. Turn 100 and im 1st in tech (!!), 3rd in land, 4th in soldiers. I did nothing out of the ordinary, in fact ive been playing sloppily. All I have...

Observations thus far: Cows are fracking everywhere Fish are base 2 food which means they have been improved to 5(eventually). They also seem to be more abundant There are atolls! They are 2 food 1 production 1 commerce I'm pretty sure the early game wonders cost significantly more...

I've always heard it as "big sausage man." In my head I reply with, "yeah, that's what she said."

Agreed. I am in the same boat.

1. Read Wikipedia article about Polynesia after new DLC is announced 2. Argue furiously about the significance of Polynesia as a Civ as though you were a historian of their culture 3. Appear intelligent/moronic 4. ??? 5. Profit (?!)

I didn't mean to insult you. My tone was merely a reflection of your own. You decided to make a post, one of dozens and dozens, that deride and ridicule the incompetence of the AI. You make no new point, and provide no new thoughts. My point was, and perhaps this wasn't clear, that you...

My games never end up like that. Usually by about half way through the game, quite nearly all of my cities will be connected through their culture radii. While this is not really all that important, if it is an effect you would like to achieve, try building more culture buildings, or get the...

You won a diplomatic victory on an islands map, and you are wondering why you don't feel rewarded?? Try playing the actual game and perhaps you'll encounter a bit more of a challenge and feel a bit more accomplishment should you succeed.

20 bucks says aqueduct's are accessed through mathematics. Given they have nearly the same effect as granaries did in civ4 and there is more overall food available sooner in civ5, this building is going to be an obv. must build in almost every city, even if it's 200+ hammers. Also you are...

Assuming you mean the opposite of what you said, and you mean a scaled amount, that really makes no sense whatsoever. Why make it so that the backward civ benefits more from the research agreement, other than to further decrease the necessity of actually producing beakers yourself? Also, this...

In general, allying with city states, especially those around your borders and those that confer unique luxury resources, is the best strat. This is especially true if (a) they hold key strategic land and can act as buffer zones for future enemies and (b) your land is luxury resource scarce...

There are two major problems with research agreements as is: (1) their costs do not scale with the number of beakers conferred and (2) you can get too many of them too quickly relative to the total number of techs. (1) is a very easy problem to solve: scale the costs more accurately. I think...

Two slot unis yes but also increased tech costs. Patch notes say double for modern techs. So a size 4 city yielding 15 or so beakers will not suffice, even if you have 15 of them. And how long does it take a size 4 city to build a uni? Hmm depends on what you mean by a reasonable time...

Wow. I am overly underwhelmed by your ICS example MaDjinn. There is absolutely nothing impressive about the results of this strategy. There is nothing broken here. Your BeakersPerTurn on turn 262 is 263(!!), and you are in THE RENAISSANCE! I regularly launch spaceships around that turn...
