If it was overseas for himself he would NEVER be able to cope with the maintenance, not to mention that it was probably swamped with Zaras culture and probably useless, the AI does give in to those "We want to join XY country" demands. It was probably revolting non stop etc. Actually I think...

Well lets say that Im playing Diety and I dont connect the city to the Capital yet, and its surrounded by 20 jungles and no fresh water. What happens? Its 1 citizen, you get -2 food from the unhealthiness and the richest tile has 1 food, that would be a -1 deficit. Can a city starve at size 1...

WE; Wonder Economy, SE; Specialist Economy, SSE; Super Specialist Economy, FE; Food Economy. By the way if you PLAN on running an SE and miss out on the Mids, you say you will go about and Cottage a few cities, that means it becomes a Hybrid? Is it no longer an SE? I Thought there where...

OK I realized what the problam was, I usually play on normal speed, Im playing on Epic now, the grace period before Barbs spawn does not scale up in between time speeds, it also obviously takes longer before you can fill the map, and also barbs get to you quiker, also it makes it much more...

Thank you, although Im not asking a question, Im making an statement. I hate the GP farm term/concept altogether. By 1200 beaker techs I mean when they ALL cost 1200 or more, not the first one that does, that means past Liberalism, I struggle so bad after burning 4-5 GP on my way there...

Well I originally was a hardcore CE player, then I decided to try FE and SE. FE is pretty cool, although I have a lot of trouble teching with it, on the SE thing, I have found out there are multiple different SE types WE, SSE, Hybrid, Lightbulbing SE. The lightbulbing SE is the one I have...

If you have 20 FP tiles that would equal 8 :yuck: even if you farm your FP your city would NEVER grow, by the way, what happens to a size 1 city with -2 food due to unhealthiness?

Or you may take whatever measures to increase your happy cap, when that is not plausible and suffer the same problem in all cities you may whip/draft if SPI, or Cottage/Mine/Workshop a tile or two, otherwise I guess this is a good use of surplus food.

Coastal cities are great for a few reasons IE. You NEED to build a navy. Next water based resources are richer, there multiplier building comes relatively early (Harbor), and are harder to pillage, and MOST importantly, on the mid/higer levels you will be cramped up, Coastal cities effectively...

TBH this is fine on the lower difficulties, since what you want is good cities only and leaving a TON of gaps is no big deal, and also like this you deny the AI land, but in the mid/higher difficulties this would be a pretty bad dotmap, maintenance would kill you, so would health, so would the...

I first thought Yikes! How is he planning to claim all that land? He is not even Imp nor Cre! Then I realized the difficulty you are playing, trust me unless you are the type of guy who quits a playing a tiltle all together just cause you lost a few matches, you may want to start playing...

I just ended up starting a new game, Im more of a CE player, and therefor Im used to tech pretty strongly throughout the entire game, and getting stronger as time goes by, Im not used and I HATE the lightbulbing SE which everyone seems to run. I like the WE/SSE where I settle my especialists...

When I read that I thought you where referring to the second part of my statement.:lol:

They where already in top of me by when I researched Masonry. And still the GW was built like 5 turns after I finished researching it. My path was pretty solid, I had cows and a nice long river with a gold and two silks, the silks where riverside, so I went...

I play Monarch like stated above, I wasnt trying to ReX, just block off the AIs, and backfilling later. If Im Philo and dont get the Mids Im pretty much left with a subpar CE with a few more spontaineus GP than usual, again.:sad:
