I thank you gentlemen, you're advice was spot on. Once I got the early money issue worked out everything is moving along nicely. It is mollifying to find my early game strategy was so brittle. Thanks again.

I see, I moved away from Trad when I tried the first BNW game, some fuzzy idea about needing pyramids. I was wrong about that, I'm not hurting for units but for gold. Building the second city is when I start bleeding money, I will not connect it right away this time however. My only "army"...

Yikes, ok this is about what I expected. I guess I just can't do things like I'm used to. The first hundred turns used to be set in stone; no longer. Too low relative to the number of cities I have? Meaning I shouldn't have founded a new city if my cap is only pop 6? And about those...

I came here this morning because I'm having the same problem. I've backed down from King and am still having trouble on Prince. Roads don't seem to pay for themselves anymore, I consistently run a deficit. I gain 3(!) gpt for "connections to cities" another 1gpt from my trade route. I spend...

Quick combat and movement, time victory off, and save policies and promotions. Now that I think about it I don't think I've played a V game without turning off at least the movement and fighting animations. I've recently tried sparse resources on the Sandstorm map. It's not as bad as...

One cannot ever shame a corporation into anything, if this were true we would live in a completely different world. Seriously, you can't believe that Firaxis is in any other business than all the rest - making money. They are not trying to make you happy, or build a community, or anything other...
