It is worth noting that anarchy also has the despo-penalty

Now you make it sound as if the forum is undervaluing defensive units. I still think they are overvalued. Never building defensive units is a big statement, they do have their purposes, but those are specific, for certain circumstances. Defending a stack of bombard units is one of those...

Everything you'll ever need to know about worker movement is in Crackers guide to opening skills. Note that this guide has several pages, there is a menu on the side of that site. What he says about worker movement counts for the rest of the game too, it just gets more complex with more...

Isn't it funny, the same people who tell you cats are great, also tell everyone they build only few, if any, defensive units. :) The trick is, to put those cats, trebs, and cannons in big stacks. A stack of 12 catapults need to only be defended by about 2 defensive units. (in levels below...

Barracks -> settler, or barracks ->worker sounds like a bad barracks timing to me. I'd rather build: warrior(x3) -> setter, or warrior(x3) -> granary -> settler I know the power of vet units, but I'm not afraid to build a dozen of regular warriors at the start of the game, unless I'm really...

The maximum tourism a single wonder can give is 14 gpt.

I'm not sure if this is such a bad thing: if you don't build a huge empire, like in a 5CC, you'll be able to profit a lot from trade.

@Aabraxan post #4 My only correction is that its not a chance thing, if your wonder traits match your civ traits, you will get a GA, 100% chance!

The FP in conquest reduces corruption by increasing the OCN (optimal city number) and it also reduces the "distance to palace in tiles" factor, creating a second core for this factor The difference with vanilla and PTW is that the FP no longer becomes a second core for the city rank factor. If...

But you are implying that every city needs its own defense, whats more, you imply that they each need to build their own defense themselves! Thats exactly the problem I'm talking. Its the empire that needs defense, not individual cities. I don't. I move my troops where they are needed, I don't...

Fascism is not to be confused with German nazism.

Please don't upload auto-saves, they are uncompressed, use manually created saves to upload.

If that is so, the space ship components are not available in the city construction list.
