Cheers. I haven't created an MGL doing a one city challenge before. Good to know.

I'm in the middle of playing a Conquests one city challenge on Regent on a tiny island, with all the civs crammed into it. It's fast, furious and a lot of fun. Anyhoo, I pulled a Military Great Leader, but after sending him back to the capital there is no option to form an army or rush any...

Cheers. I'll give the link a try in a couple of days when I next get a chance to play.

I've pretty much mastered the Regent level inasmuch as I have won using a variety of Civs from Indians to Iroquois with a variety of win conditions. I moved up to Monarch a while ago but seem to be having as many problems as I did with the move to Regent. My micro-management involves cutting...

I think it depends on your style of play. I've been playing archipeligo/English games and because of the poor expansion rate it can be very tough at the start. Up to now I have never been overly aggressive in games and have expanded rather than concentrate on millitary. Because the AI is much...

Given that the whole Tudor line was decended from the Welsh, the Stuarts were from Scotland, and the Plantagenates were from various parts of France and didn't really ever bother learning the language, there are strong arguments to suggest that the English were never ruled by the English either...

Not to mention the number of prime ministers (including the present incumbant) who are Scottish.

I've been playing as England for the first time in conquests and the man'o'war is absolutely deadly on an island map. Coming at the end of the middle ages it means you can blow railroads to pieces as they are being laid. It seems to me that shields in the industrial era are more crucial...

Nope. Scotland was self-governing with it's own Monarchy right up until the Act of Union in 1707, with no English intervention. Other than the odd skirmish now and again they were as separate from England as France. Until we had to lend England James I of course. I'd much prefer a British...

Australia could have an Allan Border great leader that is impervious to any English attack. Edited - two ll's apparently.

'England' should be 'Britain', end of.

I've been working with Sumaria. The science trait is useful for SGL's that religious civs don't give you. Getting a free Great Library/Bachs/whatever is a lot more useful than going through anarchy for 5 turns or so. The agricultural trait I find is invaluable. You lose a few turns setting...

Cheers. The build order and tech research i had in the bag pretty much. The articles are good in that respect. It was just the location and tile maintenance I was having problems with/

I'm starting to work the tiles for my city, but do I concentrate on growth (the bigger the population the more tiles I can use) or shields (because you need shields to build wonders). I've been trying it for the past couple of days but am having real problems finding the right balance, ie do I...

Killing the AI off quickly has the same effect on a tiny map. I played an experimental Warlord game and score about 4400 by killing the AI by 150 BC.
