If you are in your cultural borders (ie the color around your city), animals will not enter your borders. Are you trying to attack when you have moves left on that unit? All of the units listed are one move per turn units; therefore, you have to start the turn right beside the...

For the longest time, I was a builder that eventually went on the war path in the modern ear. Playing at the lower levels, it was a walk in the park. Based on things I learned from these forums, I started committing to earlier wars. I usually tried to fight one war per troop type: (1)...

Here is the easiest way to say it... A lower levels you can survive/win with more buildings and a smaller army. At higher levels, you will need a larger army; therefore, you can't spend the time building all of the structures. When people say that a building is "too expensive", they are...

About 99% of the time, settling in place (SIP) is good enough. The turns wasted moving around can be overcome at lower levels but not at higher levels. Sometimes spending one turn to move works out quite well, but not six or seven turns. The map generator does a decent job of making each...

Does a plane or ship satisfy the requirement as well?

I have never stayed in slavery for that long in a game. Granted, I don't play at the higher levels. My production is normally good enough that I don't "need" slavery.

Thanks for the suggestions. Here is what I did: I disbanded my army selectively. I got rid of mainly my garrison troops while keeping my promoted ones. I disbanded them until I got under the "free" limit. This left me with all of my attackers that caused the problem in the first place...

Go to noble. Just make sure your army is large enough. When in doubt build more troops. Having a small army is usually the primary mistake that newbies will make.

I thought that a wonder/project can only exist in one queue within your civ.

I need to stay in slavery longer.

At 0% research, I am still losing about 38 gpt. This is pre-COL and pre-Currency. My research was AH - Archery - Horseback Riding - Mining - Bronze Working - Pottery - Agriculture... It is just that the AI civs fell so easily. Since I still had the troops, I just kept rolling. The game is...

I apologize, I knew all about maintenace costs. Is it possible to still be in the negative with all of your troops disbanded? If so what happens then?

What happens when you've conquered too many cities? My research slider is at 0,and I am still losing money per turn. In a couple of turns, I will burn through my gold reserves. I am playing Mongolia. Horses in my BFC. I was able to elimate three neighboring rivals. My kingdom is my...

Here is the approach that I take: Suck it up early on, and build a handful of galleys and triremes (even if they just sit there). I found it is easier to upgrade them later instead of building galleons. This also allows you to move the ships to a better spot. I find that many times I...

For single player games... In your first city, start with a worker. Usually, worker, warrior, worker. 99.99999% of the games, you don't have to worry about the defenses of your starting city because it will take a while for barbarians. The 0.000001% will be a barbarian uprising event...
