It's no problem, I leave enough forests so a forest can spawn. I also don't build over land i want forest. Anyways mines are great.

gunpowder musket units are insignificant. Knights and cavalry is the only significant conquesting gunpowder units.

(noble - standard) Its 1750 - I already have ICBM tecnology, submarines and machine guns My score is 3:2 (3000:2000) over the second best AI. There is 7 players in the game, but I got rid of the Americans. The score gap is growing. I'm playing continents. Is this as smart as the...

with the right strategy it is possible to reach industrial on noble before 1300ad, especially if you are a financial civic.

its good to get workers, but getting a warrior does guarantee an early tribal village encounter.

Cleopatra is a ***** but i removed her Bismark is ironically very friendly (and i was french!) um bleh i think personalities are random

could a moderator redirect this to the dvd-rom thread thanks

Oh Sullla i love the walkthrough, the manual is good for being informative and the strategy guide is a good guide to playing style, not saying either is better but the manual is rather light but if there was more pages my eyes would just fall out lol.

I really loved this strategy guide, it's way more better then the manual in every sense. There were a few typing errors here and there but this is forgivable. Yeah, it does drag on alot about common sense, but you have to fill in the blanks as a strategy has to be adaptable to the surroundings...

so much pessimism in this thread, Kafka would be rolling in his grave.

Ok i know for 100% that this game works (the US version) for me as i do admit i had downloaded it illegally but only for the limbo time until the UK version was released so i could delete that. I uninstalled American version, removed everything possible (i think) I installed DVD edition...

I assume you skipped out forge because its the most obvious choice? (goes without mentioning). it is dead necessary if you're a warmongerer. Infact its probably the most useful building in the game.

I don't see how its possible to be behind an AI in technology, either you're neglecting science buildings (observatories, libraries, scientist specialists, religious buildings, general economy) or simply not expanding. You're lucky to be on 100% in research for me its usually 80-90% in the later...

I dont see why you just dont A) Choke/pillage with 1 or 2 porcupine stacks (4-6 mixed units) or... B) A Dagger attack (if you have copper resources) with spearmen, axemen or horse archers if you got them. Your strategy may work best if you used archers with hill bonuses. It's not like...
