You can try running counter espionage missions in their cities, ramping up your slider, building courthouses, jails etc (I assume you are building courthouses everywhere?) Of course, cleaning them off your continent is always the best solution :)

I do not post much, but that post by Dave McW has to be one of the funniest I have seen for while, probably only funny if you know the Monty Python on which it is based, but I loved it. On topic, my favourite military tech is probably combustion (I love drilling the old wooden navies with...

The only thing that will help you is if you have the appropriate improvement for a resource (eg a farm on Corn) or a fort on any resource, which will give you access to that resource for all cities connected to your trade network. AFAIK, farms, cottages and the others you list outside of all...

My votes would be Cathy and Joao in that order. Cathy with Imp and Cre, and starting with mining for an early bronze chop is just insane if you have rexing room. My first Prince win was cathy with 3 gold, pigs and 3 fp in the bfc, and only Isabella on my continent. She kindly established some...

Oh god, you are even more droll than me. Hats off to you. However, to quote from Wiktionary, spelt is an alternative spelling of "spelled":

The OP has spelt "pathetic" wrong in original thread title :crazyeye:

The location of bulawayo is constrained by food. It is no use having 15GPT potentially available if you cannot grow enough population to work them. I would be using specialists and representation at the moment, much more powerful than H Rule in my opinion. You do not have any cities which...

You have a few cities showing as unhappy - you are a cruel despot, so whip them into recovery infrastructure (eg library, courthouse). As others will state, you need Currency, CoL and Alphabet to get out of this economic hole. Alpha I find particularly useful - a few turns of building...

Just a couple of minor observations: In your capital you are working an unimproved spices even though you have calendar. Ideally I would improve that tile, and work it (+1F) and use that extra food to work the iron, as your production is pretty weak at the moment. You should not be working...

Another vote for whales - it takes ages to get to the resource you need to get their full yield and then in what seems like the blink of an eye the happiness is obsolete ... Incense is also pretty crap as spot in the BFC. Handy if you are going cultural victory with all the +1 Happy for the...

Congratulations! I am finding success at prince really depends upon the leader. I have won three prince level games now, but I have to have an IMP leader to do it. Pattern seems to be one early war and REX REX REX. My favourite is Catherine (2 wins), but Cyrus was pretty good too - IMP/CHA...

I have been a noble level player until recently, and decided to try prince. However, there are a few game mechanics I do not particularly like, so I played a custom game with the following "big ticket" changes: - No Vassals - No Tech Trading - No Diplo or Space victory - Standard Size and...

Much like Stoney, I have found the step from Noble to Prince not too bad (but it is early days, I have only just started my second Prince game - I am in the points lead and have largest empire and army - I am just cleaning out some neighbours with Cav/Cannon/Rifles/Grens vs Longbows and Melee...

Oh, I don't know, it is pretty handy - getting your libraries and theatres up earlier is pretty good, less time till they double their culture. But i guess at the end of the game you should be racking up close to 1000 cpt, with slider, artist specialists and corps, so it isnt huge

Either you are censoring yourself because you violently disagree with me, or you are being Sputnik. I will assume it is the latter :)
