I don't know what level you're playing, Hambil, but many of the strategies you mentioned won't work in a random game at a mid-to-high level, let's say from monarch on. The Oracle does give you a free tech, yes, but the saved turns are minimal if the tech is useless: the Oracle is most useful...

Great, so we just have to bring this game to the end. I think I'll stick with the pace that Sullla has set, that is 20 turns each. (0) Enjoying the state of things. There's only one non-hindu city, and the missionary is queued up already. Then exit the game and restart it in 1024x768 windowed...

Talking about my wonderful city? :cool: I didn't revolt to universal suffrage when I went to freedom of religion, because we didn't need many hammers really, and having to rush-buy things wasn't that big either, with us having already built most of the cultural improvements. On the other...

If a civ is friendly, the chance it will attack is zero. It's also much easier to sign a defensive pact, if we want. On the other side, Spain isn't a threat because it's been crippled by the early war, and Rome is overseas, and, as Blake would say, we all know how good the AI is at attacking...

Screenshot size? I thought 1024 width was little enough... I'll see what can I do. Sorry about that. About wealth: it was a one-turn-build, as one missionary was about to convert a city, and I wanted to start rebuilding it as soon as possible. I could have put the hammers into a unit, yes...

Preflight check, the three selected cities are doing well, with Lillehammer at 380 cpt, and it's the weakest one. Tuscany and Venice are producing much less culture, due to the lack of cottages. Venice has got a lot of sea, but it just can't compare with a fully developed cottaged city, sadly...

All right. *yawn* Not that I'm playing right now... I need to sleep! Of course, I need the save too. :rolleyes: Is it hidden somewhere and I don't see it, or was just forgot? I could play 10 civ turns now, if I had the save... *opens the 1800 AD save and starts to play 20 turns, declaring...

Indeed. Sorry to hear about that, Gusto.

I think trying to beat Mansa to the space will be a much harder task than to fight him. His economy looks very powerful and still a lot improving, while our cities, already quite well developed, don't have much room for improvement. At this point, my opinion is to make use of our Panzers to...

:goodjob: Good thing we're Germans... :devil:

1st GP: GE 0.17, GP 0.35 2nd GP: GE 0.14, GP 0.42 3rd GP: GE 0.14, GP 0.42 I just calculated all possible combinations... 0.17*0.14*0.42+0.17*0.42*0.17... total 0.098. I guess I should have put the . and not the , :crazyeye: the use of those two signs is inverted where I live.

Umm, let's see if your idea applies to the game AFTER my turnset. :scan: ***WARNING*** If you don't like math, go directly to the bold paragraph :lol: We need three GPs, and precisely two prophets and one engineer. The amount of GPP is 2000+2200+2400=6600 GPP. Actual Cornelia GPP...

Whoops! :lol: Fixed.

(0) What can I say? Everything looks good to me. Playing after Sullla surely is a good thing ;). (1) The turn doesn't start well: Even though he's cautious... probably he decided to stop the deal when he was still annoyed, in the IT. :lol: Nothing bad, he'll be more than happy to renew...

Got It :D Better to trade Democracy or Astronomy to Mansa for gunpowder? I guess democracy, but it never hurts to ask.
