I use it often when I got all the terrain I want. I also give it sometimes to one of my allies in the war, knowing the city will fall the next turn, my ally gets the loss of gold instead of me. In this game there are no allies you can trust :) Why should this be an exploit ? It happens in...

Some tips aren't included _ try to get Nationalism first , it's worth a lot for the AI. If I'm playing a Scientific Civ, I sometimes pay the AI 50 gpt for the last tech(s) in the middle ages to get Nationalism first. At that point they'll be paying me 250 or more gpt. And those other civ's...

What really sucks is that sometimes get a GL and he gets killed immidiatly. A unit gets attacked , generates a leader but is damaged and in that same AI-turn, he send another unit to attack yours. Your unit dies , you GL with it. You didn't have the change to use it a single turn...

Most players say diplomatic isn't a real victory either but count domination as a "real" victory. Most of my games end in Space of Diplo victory. I've had all types of victory on Regent. Didn't manage yet to get a total cultural or 1 city cultural on Monarch. Last game I tried a 1 city with...

Take notice of any MPP's that are already signed , maybe this would allow you to trigger the world war. A lot of it depends if you want to go to war with them yourself. If you do , you have a lot of options. First you get them furious with outrageous demands, that's always a nice opening...

You could say, they get suspicious towards any leader , fearing he would treat them equally bad. I haven't noticed the poprush-anger but often saw the draft-discontentness. Anyhow , I also would like to see this fixed. Because an AI starts drafting when you mopping up his defenses and this...

But you can upgrade knights and they do prevent Impi's from escaping... When I don't have enough units to attack cities I just occupy territory, in between his cities. Possibly on mountain , with some defensive units and I run small raids from there on any unit in the open. If I attack a...

You just know they won't be honored for an enitre game. But that gives you a reason to declare war or you pressure them to hold off building weapons for a while. For instance, in single player, I'm sick and tired of chasing those Ironclads and frigates arround with my battleships. And...

There's a SOTD where an AI -worker connects gems for a human player, but this is something different. I never seen it but I wouldn't be too happy to see AI-workers changing my mines or irrigation.

I had discovered 3 small islands of a few tiles big , later after getting the appropriate tech, i could see they had Oil, alu and rubber. So not to wonder why the AI settled those right away.

I 've just finished a game with these opponents : Zulu, Rome, Mongol, Celt, Japan, Scandinavia, Aztec. I was Persia. With all those Militaristic and aggressive civ's arround , it promised to be a exciting game. Rome was on the other side of the pangea map. Caesar never annoyed me so he was...

That's what I do too , when I stay a democracy... The democratic benefits are just too high, since I almost never sign MPP's or alliances I can get in and out of a war in a few turns, still having what I want without too much WW.

Mathematics and Horseback riding, I think. Don't remember but I got two not so bad techs. Since I'm playing less warmonger-style , the games have become sooo much easier. With good attitudes you can a lot more from each trade.

Keep in mind , starting in the middle , you get boxed in from all sides too and you'll have much bigger borders with several civ's. You'll have to expand fast or the others will leave you no space at all.

Right, if your fighting far from home and you conquered a few cities near the enemy, communal corruption will allow those cities to generate more shields allow you to build temples, baracks, ... much faster trying to prevent culture flips or healing units faster . Most of the times I stay a...
