I still have the ISO from the OG CD my mum bought at some point. I keep it deep in my old games directory :D

Thanks a lot for the tips! I personally like to annihilate the enemy outright but usually my military is not strong enough to do that so I end up doing those mini-wars like you. Huh? I'm pretty sure steam has one, I was rustling thru files and I swear I saw vanilla, C3C and PTW hmm...

Oh btw, does winning early give you more points on the Hall of Fame thing?

I dont disagree that early game is not important, because it is, I just dont see the point in continuing the strategy into the late game, which I very much love going into. Oh wow, I didnt get enough cities to get to that. I'd say that late game conquesti is my game - get in front of...

Yeah as a new player im going to be doing this quite a lot :)

Yes I agree these are all valid points but I'm the kinda guy to play all the way thru to space victory, so when I get sanitation I'd disband them, like tjs said. Most of these benefits apply to the early game anyway. Im not saying theyre invalid, theyre just not useful in the late game and in...

Oh ok I see now. So like - first town build settler and then builds workers, then second town builds another settler, and then third town builds settler.... like this, in waves until all ground is settled? The link doesnt work. My German tells me it wants me to register :p EDIT: Actually it...

Here's an update of my current position. As you can see I've got quite a lot of towns and stuff, and I fixed my city placement on my original peninsula a bit. Still not perfect, I can see there is spaces that can be settled - one spot on my main peninsula and a couple in between Bonn and...

Well I played through a bit more and found that youre right. I havent built a single temple, colloseum or cathedral yet and just have my luxury on 10%, and it work perfectly even for the capital, so I'm gonna stick to not building them. Plus, I'm about also to bring in a second luxury into the...

UPDATE: I'm on 270 BC now and all is going well. Im a republic with about 10 towns and I'm going strong. The 3 started cities are producing settlers like there is no tomorrow. Just as a note to self (because I really am going to get lost in this complicated mess, so many settlers are walking...

But it is quite hard to manage happiness if you have virtually 0 luxuries. On the whole continent ther is only 2 - furs and incence. Nothing else at all. So in this case I'd say that building Temples and Colloseums is worth it, since it's hard to get a rein on the luxury slider when youre going...

Just second screen of surrounding area. Notice the furs, Im gonna be going for those, and the place with two sugar canes, Im gonna build ther too. God space for metropolis. Frankfurt I'd imagin I will abandon in favour of the better position more to the west with the gold and furs. Same for the...

Started new game. Absolutely disgusting. Look at those positions! Technically that lil peninsula can support 4 metropolises, if Leipzig shuffled a long the the right a bit, and hamburg down a bit. and then to the right there is more space for expansion. Looks like late game ill have to...

Okay I see, thanks. That makes much more sense. In that case I can see how people can easily get to industrial age so early because they dont waste so much money on maintenance of buildings they dont need. I guess this tells me that I should pay more attention to each individual city and set the...

You say to mark half of them as potential metropolises - does that mean that in the future I should abandon them to free up space for developing metropolises, and not bother building too much infrastructure on them? I did notice those playthroughs in your sig - I had a look. I found your Dutch...
