You could leave it in the queue for that city and just insert your unit builds ahead of it.

to nitpick, it's not "declare"; it's "plot." An AI can declare at any disposition as long as it started plotting below its threshold. However, I don't think Charlemagne plots at pleased. Do you have any vassals? Vassals cause an AI to average their opinion of the two of you, so if you have a...

Very possible that's true, but you only addressed the first line of my post. Trade routes, scientists and avoiding unnecessary techs (IW) are very helpful with regards to teching to Alphabet and establishing a strong tech base, and at lower levels much more likely to be an issue that unit costs.

It sounds like you're overbuilding units. 5 units for every city plus 6 workers PLUS fogbusters? If you aren't preparing for immediate war, you really only need a garrison unit for each city (if it can reach the happy cap), plus maybe a few fogbusters, plus the Workers. Once you reach Monarchy...

What DO you mean by rigged then? It looks like your definition of rigged is "the displayed odds are not the true odds, which means I cannot make a fully informed choice". Is this accurate? Which is all fine and good (and to a certain extent accurate in the base game), except the common usage of...

:band: Not to be too dramatic, but I read your post last night and I thought, "I can't let this person give up on a fantastic game because they haven't seen a good screenshot!" So I figured what the hell, I'll do it myself. Get it! You won't regret it.

I think there is a camera option that makes it an overhead perspective, which is essentially 2D. EDIT: I opened a game to check. It's essentially 2D, the resource icons seemed to move a little but it's more of your style I assume. Regular: Alt + O: I guess it's kind of hard to make it...

My first Deity win! 1470 Conquest with Cuirs/Cav. This was a fun map. I love Pericles' traits, when I was moving to Immortal he was one of my favorites as I adjusted to how fast I needed to get Libraries built and GScientists to bulb.

I might give this a try, I'm beating a lot of IMM lately and this looks like a nice start... Any thoughts on possibly setting 1S? I might send the Scout 2S1E and see what's down there. Moving 1S gets the 2 Corns, 7 grass hills, 7-9 cottageable riverside tiles, all fine for a great Bureau...

I never really got an answer to my questions here. Can anyone elaborate what's needed to integrate these BULL features with KMOD? I'm getting somewhat bored with vanilla BTS and want to branch out into my own mod with KMOD as the base, but I want my micro tools from BULL. Any help on where to...

I hate many of them, but nothing makes me slap my forehead like losing a city spot by a turn or two. Usually it's because I say "nah, I can afford not to whip, why give up my 2 GS for my academy to get that Settler out sooner? I'll be fine." ... *cue rage*

In my most recent Immortal game, I was pushing for a space-race victory while WVO was going for culture. I abused the hell out of Cristo Redentor to swap into civics for one turn, then have WVO swap civics for 2-3 turns of anarchy, delaying his culture cities long enough to win. At one point I...

I rolled a great Isabella start this morning (IMM/Norm/Fractal) and have played until 575 BC. I've come across a decision point that I thought would make for interesting discussion. I've also attached the start, so if you want to play it, spoilers below. Starting location: Game...

There's quite a few people here (especially over at S&T) who could have a PhD in Civ-ology :goodjob:

I agree with everything here. I've Impi-rushed (NOT just choked) at least twice on IMM, and I'm no early-game superstar. Ask yourself why a Chariot rush would be deemed viable, but not an Impi rush? High level AI have Hunting (and Archery), so if they can get Axes to defeat Impis, they can get...
