Settling on a lux is probably worth it in every case you are not forsaking another lux to do it. Even then I would think twice before not settling on the lux.

Ok so you have 5/7 capitals but cannot outproduce the AI? Somehow I have difficulty believing this but anyhow. Get flight and multiple bombers and the AI will not be able to compete. It does not understand modern era combat.

Frankly that screenshot looks terrible. 94 science at turn 238? Here is a simple recipe for success. 1. Build scout 2. Trade all your gold per turn for gold right before you steal your closest civ worker. 3. Trade all your gold per turn for gold to every civ you meet and declare war on them...

Yeah, I get aessthetics as well (ai kills the city states quite fast though). It is the two policies in order I dont understand. Current game for example (which I will lose) I will probably hit stealth in 20 turns with the last policy in rationalism. I am at turn 210. No time for order.

I have never understood how you can complete full tradition, 2 in patronage, 2 in order and full rationalism. Sometimes when I manage to go full tradition into full rationalism I will still bulb the latest military techs with rationalism (and win domination/science shortly after).

Personally I have started abusing the ai like tommy nt. The strategy is quite simple. You DOW the entire world and do gpt for gold before. You then proceed to buy units for the money. Declare peace when ai gives you money. Rince repeat until you have dominated atleast your closest ai with...

Game status: Domination Victory Game date: 1400AD Turns played: 200 I played it all wrong. Built like 10 settlers. Finished Vienna with great war bombers while having 70 happiness and 800 bpt..

I agree that CA are quite op. My first deity domination in this patch was with Arabia. Taking out 3-4 civs with camel archers is not impossible. The bazaar does not go hand in hand with domination though.

That has been my suspicion as well. Sometimes the AI still attacks those workers though. Not sure which version I like best. The counter-attack strategy is very powerful.

Second this. Tommy's videos are the the best civ5 content in video form on the net right now. In regards to worker defense. In my experience the AI often walks around workers. So I often just keep improving. It can be quite funny when you have a worker "defending" a forested hill by chopping.

Recently watched some of those beyond the monument videos. While it is great with civ 5 content I think his play is quite sloppy. He loses units quite often. He attacks with the wrong units. For example when using archers he attacks with the units in the wrong order and ends up with units not...

Sometimes you just can't win. Got hit with roughly 2x10 B17. Took two core cities within 3-4 turns..

Only reason for beelining currency is for Petra. Trading posts are best used for puppets.

Currently playing with Pacal. It is possible to survive with machinery and go for the kills with artillery even on diety. However still half in score to the leaders at turn 200. Hopefully I will get bombers/stealth bombers before they win.

Camel Archers Rock!! I went 3 city NC (tradition). Settled fourth city about 10-15 turns before chivalry close to my first target. Unfortunately he never dowed but after chivalry (about 110-120 turns) it was all downhill for the AIs. I took out three before turn 170. I should probably have...
