    Troops on border - what are the rules?

    Gottcha, thanks. That makes more sense; I didn't think they cared about previous turns moves, I thought they only looked at where your troops are at the start of their turn. Indeed, previous few turns I was caught in the mountain pass fighting barbarians only a few tiles away from the Canadian...

    Troops on border - what are the rules?

    The quantity of troops might be enough but how far away do they have to be? I thought the scout being 6 tiles away would be enough to not count. I assumed the Swordsmen (Ram) and Archer is what still triggered it, but 4 tiles away is apparently still to close? Just a thought, Could it have...

    Troops on border - what are the rules?

    These few troops had to pass south through Canada, while most of my army took a different northern route past Germany on their way to liberate city states from the Zulu. These were the only troops I had anywhere near the Canadian Borders, and still I received a message about my broken promise.

    [GS] Are city-states getting all clustered together now? (Fractal)

    I noticed this before too, but with the expansion it seemed like I've been getting bigger clusters now. Wasn't sure so as a test I restarted and used the cheat "~reveal all" Did that about 6-7 times, and always ended up with at least one cluster of 4. The screen shot below was one of the...

    Very good youtube vid on 4x - particularly Civ

    The main problem with Endless Legends is replayablity. Their strength in having uniquely defined factions is also their weakness. The first few games I had were all interesting and unique, because each faction has "story lines," unchangeable story lines. Even custom made factions you have to...

    When to raze a captured city

    I have also razed a city when I didn't like the AI's district placement. Though; I havn't done it recently, AI seems to put their districts in better locations now.

    [R&F] What are the odds we see another Governor? Would you welcome one?

    I like to stand on their shoulders, you get the best vantage point from there. Agreed, Both Reyna & Pingala are a bit unstable when standing on them. You gotta be careful, I tried tweaking Victor once and he got quite upset.

    'Move your troops' - 'ignore this request' = promise to move

    I promised my troops were just passing by. Few turns later I liberated a city for them, the turn after they called me out cuz my troops were next to the city I just gave them...

    Beyond Earth

    The main feature I would love to see from Beyond Earth is the orbital layer. It would give another use of space ports and a reason to build them even if not going for a science victory.

    [R&F] Free City Farming

    Not sure if it's been posted yet but... I did this in my first R&F game and I was checking to see if it was fixed in the latest update. This is definitely an exploit of the loyalty/free city mechanics. Basically the idea is to continually have a city rebel, in a controlled manner. Have your...

    How to avoid dark ages in late game?

    I mostly have trouble gaining enough points once clearing barbarian camps no longer give you points. I had compiled a list a while back similar to the one bryjaysay posted, only sorted by similar actions: Here

    Civ IV anyone?

    I put a lot of hours into civ 4, but honestly the only things I really remember about it was vassals, colonies, and Baba Yetu... which I just had to go listen to again. If you've never heard it before here, enjoy.

    [R&F] [1.0.0.229] Diplomatic League & Amani

    Ran a few tests in my current game with Diplomatic League & Amani. With Diplomatic League Active: Case 1 If Amani is the first envoy you send, you do not receive an extra envoy. Working as expected, for balance reasons. Case 2 If Amani is present and you would otherwise have 0 envoys...
