Finally :rotfl:

There are two different parametres: speed of birth and distribution(probability) of birth Speed - how soon you get GP. Doesn't matter, how you get GPP, you just count it. The higher, the better. Distibution - what type of GP you get finally. And here you count ratio of different sources...

No. The best way is to kneel before Hyborem and turn to evil rituals of Ashen Veil (free cookies are included :thumbsup:) You could also spam Order religion. IIRC, Order and AV mutualy exclude each other. But what for? AV gives so pretty bonuses, so its easier to fall from Heaven right into...

Forum acts like Parthenon or NE with the exception, that it gives 0GGP itself. So, it doesn't influence on birth probability, just makes the birth faster.

Undead promotions for magic users. It not obvious, but a good way to make you arch-mages safe is to promote them to Liches and give them Fear. Combat arch-mages|liches could also get cannibalism. And you can get the first Angel casting Life I spell in graveyard. So, if you lucky and fast...

Does magic resistance help countering with armageddon effects? (Wrath, killing) Is the Bone Palace a good place for waiting the end of the ages?

There is a limit of 4 Shades for Sidar. You can't cast Wane, if you have more.

Yes. In my game on emperor I finded even two principles and founded Empire and AV ))) Not an obvious trick, I think)

One thing, I've never realized: - You can found new religion without researching tech. (Any ideas? :))

OK. Do what you want with my addition. If you don't like smth, rational arguments are useless. Finally, its your guide. I see it's useless to debate further. You have a very high class of playing, so you can answer for all question yourself, if you change your point of veiw.

It seems that you always disagree with all that I write. Bad-bad-bad boy :sad: This is not necessary and personal. Let's talk about the game at whole instead of habbits of several people you know. I wrote about exotic and quasi- variants. Huts is a type of quasi-economic, but their influence...

To make your guide more complete, I would add some quasi-economics types and some exotic types #1. Scouting. You can get quite good amount of gold (and some random techs) via huts. This could be valuable not only in the beginning, but also if you have barbarian continets, like America. #2...

How do you get ESP if you have no Commerce and you don't like esp. buildings??? BTW, when you talk about city-revolts, switching religions, etc you do not talk about EE. It's not economy at all. It's pure espionage. Oh, man! You surprize me. When I wrote, that EE is mostly about...

Agree. I just pointed, that one should consider not only his first GSpy, but first and second, and also the time, when Alphabet is achieved. So, if you consider all three moments, its more clear, when you should spend your GSpy on ScYard and when it's better to setlle him. (Or even...

I thought not about early game, but possibly middle. Mostly, Renessainse. So, it could be GA you keep from Music (because the only useful spending of it is GAge, and you could already activate GAge before), and possibly 3rd-5th GP, that is GE occasionaly and you have no wonders you want to build...
