It also help sort out the barbs. I was stuck in a corner of landmass in my last game on a huge map, had no horses nearby, copper was in a bit of desert to the north and did not get as far as iron as I tend not to go for it till a bit later on if I am on my own with no enemy's near by.....big...

I started taking it over hoping to colony it all and then Mansa Musa turned up and started throwing tactical nukes about so that ended my hopes of taking it for myself :P Thanks for the advice all though :)

I do the same, oops.

Do I want to conquer this Island of Rome or take it over and return all the cities to Rome when they capitulate OR take it all over and then create a new colony from it? Rome has been technologically backwards since mid game, and I was hoping to get it as a Vassel but Alexander got in...

But of course, well its all important. Having the nesseary money and techs to bribe the AI into do what I want is always good, then I can walk in and regieme change their cities when they are there weakest. Weasal tactic I know. Intresting screenshot, I generally don't bother with EP other...

I missed out on Oracle so I had to go for Code of Laws the long way round (I like have a religion) also ensured I had all the techs I needed to raise a decent military against Stalin such as Iron working and Mathmatics, also Monarchy took a chunk out of my time. I am not too bothered about...

Ah who needs the whip! :P I think I prefer farms to grow the capital quickly and then focus on GPs. Great game here, fantastic costal spot with hills and floodplains near where I started for my naval/military city, access to elephants and horses to the north and iron near the captial. My only...

Oil runs out? I never play games long enough to have seen that. Man that is going to make longer games really interesting.

I love Vassals, really feels like I have an empire with whole other empires absorbed and under my command. But I know the pain of wanting to go to war with them however, I remember trying all sorts of things to get Mansa Musa to "breakup" with me, but alas he wanted to be my bro. A...

Cheers for the info, I don't think SM is crap, +2 from state relgion buildings is pretty good depending on the size of your empire and how many you built. Anything that boosts the gold output is good for me, more money to bribe the AI into fighting each other and so forth, leaving me to pounce...

Thanks and 1 unit per turn is entirely possible. Production focus and: Heroic Epic for +100% military unit production bonus. Miltary Acadamy for +50% mililtary unit production bonus. In my last game I was at Riflemen/Cavalry stage, a Rifleman was 70 :hammers: and took 1 turn, Cavalry was 2...

Ok I have this issue, I tend to play as Elizabeth giving the nice financial trait, I also tend to rush Pyramids if I can so I can grab Representation or Universal Suffrage as needed. This gives the possibility of having some VERY strong early game cottages/hamlets/towns etc with the extra gold...

Huge map Fractal map, as you never know what you will get, I like that. Complete kills Conquest only victory condition, there can only be one, launching a spaceship aint gonna save you when I come a knocking with an army.

For all civ games, the main city names: Capital: Unity Expansion for the sake of expansion: Hope Expansion near valuable resources: Venture Coastal: Port Hope/Freedom (depending on existing cities) Near enemy lines or otherwise fortress/military city: Vanguard I tend to build very small...

Steam version, playing, and it was probs what you said, as there seems to be a myraid of soloutions out there. Just going to make a windows 7 install usb and put windows on it. The FPS loss would most likely make it a less fun experiance under linux anyway. *sigh* Were it not for my PC gaming...
