Would this strategy also work for a human? I mean, research to max, trade a tech for gold and so on... It would help a lot in the tech-run. Especially on higher difficulties.

Well, well, well. We all know it: in ancient age we want to change techs with the AI. But wait: the greedy AI wants also gold for it! Alright, gold is useless until you reach repulic or monarchy; let it be then; But the question is: What is the AI doing with the gold? Trading with another civs...

I'll take a look on it.

:lol: Go to the next greenpeace embassy and tell them about your idea :D @Zardnaar If nuclear war is a waste of time, is a d-day invasion too a waste of time? Think about it so: the whole game is a waste of time, since we didn't do anything productive. So if we didn't do anything productive...

Generally, I use nuclear strikes also to destroy some sort of stacked AI naval units (notice: no pollution on water titles). It's more profitable then to face with my own units this stack.

:nuke: NUCLEAR WARFARE :nuke: I've looked recently in the Internet and I've never found a tutorial: how to wage a nuclear war. So I have been playing with tactical nukes, ICBM's and nuclear submarines. This strategy worked great for me: 0% own loses (okay, about 3 units were killed in the main...

Ancient times: Swordsmen Medival: Berserk or Medival infantry with 8 or more trebuchets Industrial: I won't agree that infantry is the best unit. The marine is much better - fast assault from the sea on a coastal city and after capturing it move on to the next and capture it - all in one turn)...
