This is also how you win theological wars - by converting all holy site cities to your religion. Also, another item for defending against the loss of your own religion is that you should have multiple holy sites.

Has someone mentioned that you also get a free envoy with a City-State if you are the first to discover it?

Your only real options for defenses are walls and encampments. I don't think anyone has a UB that replaces the wall but I think there is a civ with an encampment replacement.... Other way to look at it is having enough cogs to build the walls, encampments, and ranged units quickly. That would...

I disagree on the encampment. Since it gives you a second set of walls plus another archer once you have walls, it is already really good in defense. Toward your enemies would be the proper location :)

Well, I'm pretty sure this is a bug. Somehow as Fredrick I can't stop people declaring war on me. It has now become so bad that I am declaring war on myself! I think I just got the worst diplomacy bug ever! Version 1.0.0.26

Nuke Happy works much earlier as it looks for all military deterrence not just nuke based, I think

I have seen the same thing in my game. They just couldn't resist:)

1440p on a nVidia GTX 970 is working fine for me. The only hiccup I have seen is on the tutorial movie which was shown in 1080p.

Defend rapidly (roads, bridges, mounted units) but attack slowly (melee first with indirect fire behind). Scout your flanks. Of course, if you are the Mongols, you get the chance to simply run around each city taking pot shots whenever you like. And if you are the Huns, just defend your...

Not at my computer right now. Can you turn off RAs? That would negate some of the advantages of having more civs.

Any idea how many beakers you are getting when you spread?

Hopefully I have addressed some of your concerns in my latest edits. Also, I think I have the pressure formula worked out but I am not sure if it is dependent on game speed or map size...

I have a hard time giving up the GE which is what I usually pick. But even if you want a GP, you might consider building the HS (if available) and taking that GP for your enhancement. That way you deny the HS to someone else and get the other minor benefits from it.

Well, I knew that people were going to disagree with me on some of my rankings. Ill see what I can do about integrating your comments into the article when I get to a real computer.

Well, two thoughts on that: first, I will build shrines early, but once I have religion I typically stop building them. Second, the Maya are a special case: Pyramids are OP and you will build them everywhere for the science. I do understand what you are saying though, I just have not seen a...
