Bugger, with work I'm still at 1000BC on NC LV :cry: OK will crank this one out on Prince then go back to NC LV :) Starting thoughts, will settle in place but it doesn't look like it'll make a great long term capital for a financial leader like this. LPR.

@ Patronus Potter - I've never heard of a three city cultural victory before. That's pretty cool.

1000 BC | Monarch | Normal

Starting thoughts... I'll settle in place for the nice hammer bonus and with the UU, will scout one (or two) AI to rush. Will play on Monarch, normal. LPR.

Yes, apologies, I didn't get the Levee behaviour 'quite' correct :blush:

Maybe sounds like you don't have enough workers if the don't have time to build 'roads everywhere'. Couple of bonuses for road (railroad) building... mines yield an extra hammer with railroad and riverside tiles and extra hammer with levees. Personally it's less thinking if I just road...

The thread subject should be renamed to "Automated Workers... Civ 4's worst nightmare". "Build Trade Network" is the only permissible automation option :coffee:

Played again on Prince to try for some of the more sensible national wonders like the Globe Theater but I couldn't build it, needed six Theaters... turns out the OCC option isn't on by default :lol: So, just played in through again, on Noble, normal. Space victory in 1996.

Wish I'd thought of that :blush:

To clarify, I didn't build every wonder, tech, commerce, GP points and anything that acclerated GP production were my focus. No hammers were wasted on cultural wonders. For example I built the Orcale, got the free tech then go Liberalism. Don't know that I got the Great Lighthouse which might...

That's a bit disappointing. I played the Monarch save on Prince difficulty and lost to the Egyptians (cultural victory in mid 1900's). What confuses me a little is how I was crushing it at the start, taking any wonder I wanted, then as the game went on my tech slowed (had been at 100% until...

Oh, cheers. Alright, I'll play OCC then :)

Don't know what OCC is so I'm going to play this on Monarch, Normal and maybe do the OCC afterwards. Starting Thoughts: Settle 1N of the stone, this city will be my GPF I haven't finished a game on Monarch yet so won't speculate on victory type yet.

The math hurts my head. I normally build academies with the first five GS then use any later ones to bulb techs. That's on Prince and below. I fear the higher the difficulty the less academies get built in favor of bulbing.

Yes, I change my suggestion based on the argument's put forward by the others and the fact I was distracted with work when I was writing it :mischief: Also, a secondary benefit, it'll provide a nice staging post before attacking Genghis. Keeping the units within your boarders will reduce the...
