One of the main reasons I don't build military engineers immediately is that it costs charges to build plain roads. And honestly I don't really build them until I want airstrips which are extremely useful. Although I admit to sending traders to/from new cities just for the roads between all my...

IMO a lot of these problems can be fixed by building more builders and getting all your improvements online. It's so easy to get warring and focusing on the troop movements that you do them and then skip over the micromanagement of the cities and what tiles they are working. The result is many...

Use carriers if you have difficulty relocating long distances. Escort each Carrier with 2 Destroyers, 1 Submarine and 1 Battleship. If you lose need of the Carrier, you will not lose need of the Destroyers, Submarine and Battleship. In the late game, maintaining sea fighting capability is...

Just doesn't seem enough to buy anything decent. It's not gonna buy me that Stock Exchange or Market.

Yeah that's what I meant. I forgot why they were so tough to beat - the reason was that they had the Great Wall. Great Wall + Longbowmen + City Defenses = almost impenetrable

Nice chunk of gold? What sums are you getting? I'm getting a couple of hundred. Don't seem a lot to me.

If you have a lot of longbowmen you can really really screw opponents up, especially with a great general around. A lot of units are going to have to use two turns just to get near your longbowmen because of terrain. By that time, they're dead. I experienced this playing vs England when I was...

To Thee I Vow My Country much better versions on youtube though imo

Not really viable to rely on the image of a not yet constructed wonder in an AI city IMO 2 reasons: 1) fog of war prevents 2) you can't see how far it's progressed IMO it aint a bad thing for the AI to know when you are building your wonders - it's fine to have an equal footing. I think u can...

Surely it is realistic to know what wonders are being built and where? I am sure through the ages there have been diplomats, spies and informants for that type of thing. Maybe it could come as a benefit of Open Borders.

What's a Succession Game?

I needed this thread Turn 1 and the best spot for my city is on top of Marble! I have been lucky to find it and I am afraid that if I sit my city there I will lose the marble and improved wonder building speed. Please, can anyone confirm the effect?? Will I lose the improved wonder building...

I HATE IT when I'm building a wonder and it gets to 6 turns remaining and someone else builds it. Is there any way of knowing so that we don't waste those precious turns on futility? BTW there is a Steam achievement for it happening to your Civ 10 times in 1 playthrough. Guess what? I have...

Hi, I pm'd you on YouTube. Will be watching your Aztec vids closely.

Just want to say thank you. It's taken me weeks of on and off play with some marathon sessions (pun intended) but I've finally done it! Without this forum I would never have beaten King! I crushed it and finished with a score of ~2500. My cities and economy were extremely strong and I saved a...
