Great Lighthouse... Bradenberg Gate, Red Fort But like the other guy said, just steal them from other civs. You can always just capture capitals after like turn 300 too. You'll cripple their empire, steal all their wonders and ensure they wont be building anymore haha.

That's how it used to be and it was a neat mechanic. You'd load up your land units on a transport and make landfall with 30 tanks. Xcom is just as good for landgames, as others have stated but replacing a fun mechanic with an op one was a bad move on the devs part.

England for obvious reasons. I prefer Russia for domination though. Wait until the atomic age. Take all the civ territory with uranium, build 10 nuclear sub's with 20 nuclear missile and conquer the entire map in one turn. Ahhh good times.

The isolated city part is clear to anyone thinking about a defensible territory in the first 100 turns. I'm enlightening the op on why it's important, so that when he graduates to higher difficulties he will have a headstart. This is a pointless conversation, seriously go troll someone else.

I like to try and space my cities out so that I can cover the maximum amount of land with a minimum amount of cities. 2 super producing 30 citizen cities are better than 4 cities on top of each other that over lap tiles as soon as they're settled and never get past 10 citizens. The placement...

Go to citizen management and select food focus. It won't solve your problem but it should keep citizens from dying.

England... I always end up with a fleet of 100 ships that roam the seas, taking cities in 1 turn. The great lighthouse and exploration tree makes their movement bonus crazy.

There's no point in attacking a city unless you plan on annexing it or razing it. The ai will never give you peace unless you take a city or have more units then them. It's a lot quicker to take their military strength down a peg by knocking a city out. There's no reason to be so hostile and...

It depends on the location/difficulty. If it's a deity game, sometimes I like to have a few spots to build forts or something. I'll usually settle cities right on top of uranium plots to make them unpillageable. I've settled right on top of iron before too. I depends on how much of what you have...

No. You need at least 5 salt to win civz. 4 salt is an automatic rage quit.

1) the distance Settling cities on top of each other only flies if you're the ai. You should generally leave 6-7 tiles between cities so you aren't over lapping borders, gimping them both resource wise in the long run. 2) the location... "Oh look coast! I'll just settle my city one...

Kim jong un is like "that" one civ with one city left who has no chance of victory but says stuff like "come to beg for mercy?" when you try to offer it an olive branch.

Declaring war on your immediate neighbor as soon as you meet him will lead to a pointless and drawn out protracted siege of all your cities, gimping your science and culture while the other civs who are at peace leave you in the dust. Build up your infrastructure until you have enough gpt to...

You settle cities like the a.i. does.
