I will either raze or capture depending on the situation or my mood. But one additional reason for razing is to raze a city to leave a "hole" on the continent. If there is an unpopulated area of the continent, the AI will start building settlers and start walking them to this hole to found a...

What was that line from Monty Python and the holy grail? (Spoken with a bad French accent) "Now go away or I shall be forced to taunt you again!" :crazyeye:

Here are the results from the latest try. For this run I remembered to turn off accellerated production. 1475BC 10 cities, 10 workers, 10 warriors, 1 settler, 23 squares, turn=61 1000BC 20 cities, 22 workers, 21 warriors, 1 settler, 38 squares, turn=80 670BC 30 cities, 30 workers, 30...

:blush: :stupid: Wheres the Do'h icon? OK, I knew I was going to embarrass myself by going first. I need to find some time to replay this because GUESS WHAT!, its going slower this time..... I knocked out the first 10 cities in 61 turns (actually 1 extra settler is also going for a...

Well, I made a run through the sample map I provided and this is how it went(using Maya and Emperor): Went North with the settler to get the cow, west with the worker to chop the woods. My intent is to build a granary in the capital and then settlers. 2350BC I had 10 cities, 11 workers, 10...

Ok Thinktank, I have created a version that removes both barb camps and goody huts. This does allow people to wait to build all their warriors. :mischief: http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/41993/REX-noBarbs.biq

The reason I chose number of cities is that is what most of the spreadsheets and analysis are driving at. (At which point does a certain strategy pay off more than the other.) Choosing 10, 20, and 30 cities was arbitrary and hopefully will show a reasonable slope. Other than that this is just to...

This is a great discussion, but lets see how tough everyone really is.... How about a friendly little competition? The following scenario is designed to compare REX skills and the other topics discussed in this thread on a tiny pangea map. The computer players have been removed to...

Here is another modded city optimized for production. It should be producing an even 500 spt, but somehow I get 4 spt of corruption even though this is my capital. Still, not to shabby.... All the hills have coal except for the city center which has iron, so that I can legitimately build the...

Great Work BasketCase!!!! But watch out for more armys near suicideograd. if you study your posts as intently as most of us do, you will see a Persian Leader sitting near suicideograd all by himself in the 1310AD picture post. The first Army didn't do Persia much good though, did it.... :p...

There are (at least) two different types of wars you fight against the AI, One is to gain their territory, the other is to cripple them. If I plan to take the territory, I seldom pillage anything. I view it as pillaging my own lands, which they soon will be. Leaving the road net in place...

Lief needs to add another one of Pattons quotes to his signature line. "no battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy. - Patton" BTW, I am enjoying following your teams progress. The in depth discussion on trying to schedule cascades for the UN is very thought provoking. Good luck...

Here is the summary.... Map Size : Standard Civ Trait 1 : Expansionist Civ Trait 2 : ?? Barbs : ?? Map Age : ?? Map Configuration : ?? Civilization : ?? Climate : Dry Starting map : ?? Minimap : ?? Temperature : Warm Ocean Coverage : 60% With 5 or the variables now filled in, I...

The date says 10AD because I had to go one extra turn to get the final Fireaxis score. Thanks guys, this was a fun game. Sam, great idea about the squid :D, remember what I suggested about putting our own version of the SAV file in their next slot. :D Edit in a few squid just for fun. (But...

End Game thoughts. I spent some time looking around the other forums. One comment out there was that this map was very suited to a 5CC challenge, which I would agree with. With a little foreknowledge (which there are some hints that others had) we could have tailored a quick win with the...
