I am the same. It's easy to think the focus is on your scout, but to actually move a settler and lose two turns, forget to sell your luxury at the end of a turn and then think you did, so you lose several turns of 12 gold... I can't not correct those mistakes, so I replay... However, you could...

It's interesting to see a detailed response. (Though I haven't reproduced it in this reply!) The trouble with a lot of Let's Plays on You Tube is that it's difficult to follow what they are doing.

Thanks for the response. I saw the strategy. Settle to the east for the extra culture to obtain Code of Laws quickly. Work the pearls asap and plug in God King to get Lady of the Marshes asap. Meanwhile beeline writing and build Etemenanki as soon as it's available. It was working well, with an...

How did you manage to get Etemenanki? I've played this three times and not yet managed to research writing and get a spade in the ground before another civ has completed Etemenanki. Did you research pottery then writing, take urban planning rather than the civic that gives 1 gold and faith and...

Greece. I love the ancient Greek Religion. All those Gods and Goddesses with their petty rivalries. It was the world’s first soap opera. And to my mind, divine squabbles and jealousy are a pretty convincing way of explaining the ills of the world like earthquakes and droughts. It was the Greeks’...

Then the comparison with Hitler is apt. Your stance would seem to be: "Say what you like about Hitler, but he never made any secret of his hatred of Jews. He consistently persecuted them and was never hypocritical by allowing any exceptions to be made. Respect!"

Your claims have been successfully refuted, but you choose not to see that. You have a very strange understanding of the word respect if you think that promoting hatred, intolerance and lies is worthy of it.

Temple of Artemis (5) (8 - 3) Camp resources are not always nearby. Terracotta Army (17) (16+1) If you can delay this so that you are promoting a lot of units from level 2 to 3 or 3 to 4, it's useful.

Alhambra (30) Angkor Wat (10) Apadana (22) Big Ben (27) Casa de Contratación (25) Chichen Itza (13) (12 +1). I think this wonder is seriously underrated. Unlike Petra and St Basils, it improves some tiles like rainforest hills that are worth working anyway. To build Chichen Itza, there's no...

Alhambra (30) Angkor Wat (9) Apadana (22) Big Ben (27) Casa de Contratación (25) Chichen Itza (12) Colosseum (27) Colossus (15) Estádio do Maracanã (25) Forbidden City (28) Great Library (23) Great Lighthouse (18) Great Zimbabwe (19) Hagia Sophia (13) Huey Teocalli (17) Jebel Barkal (27) Kilwa...

Alhambra (29) Angkor Wat (18) Apadana (22) Big Ben (25) Bolshoi Theatre (8) Casa de Contratación (24) Chichen Itza (18) Colosseum (25) (24+1) This had a slight buff now that Entertainment Complexes give +2 culture to adjacent theatre squares, so entertainment complexes are slightly less useless...

Alhambra (28) Angkor Wat (18) Apadana (22) Big Ben (25) Biosphere (0) (Eliminated) Some nice benefits but comes too late to help most domination victories. Bolshoi Theatre (14) Casa de Contratación (24) Chichen Itza (18) Colosseum (24) Colossus (15) Estádio do Maracanã (25)(24+1) This can...

Alhambra (28) Amundsen-Scott Research Station (3) Angkor Wat (21) Apadana (22) Big Ben (25) Biosphere (11) Bolshoi Theatre (14) Casa de Contratación (24) Chichen Itza (18) Colosseum (24) Colossus (15) Estádio do Maracanã (24) Forbidden City (27) Golden Gate Bridge (5) Great Library (22) Great...

Alhambra (28) Amundsen-Scott Research Station (8) (11-3) By the time you've built a research lab in a snowy city, (which isn't likely to be a production powerhouse), and then this wonder, I agree you should have won. It has great benefits but I've never managed to build it yet and great benefits...

Alhambra (28) Amundsen-Scott Research Station (11) Angkor Wat (21) Apadana (21) Big Ben (25) Biosphere (14) Bolshoi Theatre (14) Casa de Contratación (24) Chichen Itza (18) Colosseum (24) Colossus (15) (18-3) Unless you are the AI and build Great Zimbabwe(GZ) in a city with no bonus resources...
