In that case, you sir are undeniably awesome. Take a cookie. :goodjob:

I found an odd bug. Consistently getting a crash when I try to regenerate map. After some testing where I changed the # of AI and most of the various settings, it seems that if I found my capitol on turn 1 before regenerating, it will regenerate the map once and then not give me the regenerate...

I wouldn't think so, as it would seem like a bug if it did since the CS is a separate game entity than you. However, I haven't seen it happen in game so I can't be certain.

Likewise. I generally find America to be one of the more versatile civs because I don't feel pigeon-holed into a certain strategy and usually let the map dictate my game plan. Plus it's just more satisfying to beat a comp that I know had a civ advantage over me.

Does building the monument so early make such a massive difference? I usually don't build it until at least after NC, then rush-buy it with luxury gold. +1 culture seems like such a small gain for a lot of turns, especially considering your borders will expand fine due to palace. I suppose...

On the original topic then: if the AI makes DoW decisions based on demographics one would assume open borders would have no effect on potential invasion EXCEPT when your armies are not anywhere near that border, as the AI would then read a positional weakness that encourage an attack. On the...

I might have to try the mod then. I was thinking when I typed the post that using the Military Adviser works, but is very clumsy.

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew how much the AI knows about other players armies and how much of it is dependent on scouting. For instance, I rely pretty heavily on the demographics screen + military adviser to know how I compare with my neighbor - does the AI do the same? Obviously...

Have to agree with this 100%. Unless you specify those major choices, this list is pretty much useless. Now if you said it was specific to SP pangea standard and is a list of tiered AI civs, then it would be a good list, because alot of people have experience with that and you could probably...

Take my advice with a grain of salt since I'm only an Emperor player but... Rivers are pretty important city locations in the beginning for three reasons: - More food on farms (freshwater) from Civil Service comes way before its counterpart Fertilizer (non-freshwater). - Extra 1 gold per river...

Not exactly, as I was looking for a complete list of all diplo +/-'s, but this is closer than anything else I've seen :D. Thanks everyone for your responses so far.

Alright, here's the notable points for my game so far at around turn 175ish. Darius - Emperor - Standard speed - Pangea - Large Currently my position is the middle of the only continent that narrows in the center and gets bigger towards the ends (a bit like an hourglass, although the middle is...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the strategic balance resource option. It guarantees 6 iron next to each capital. Although you wouldn't be able to use any other advanced resources setting if you use it.
