    ways into health

    A minor correction: a city has to be build directly on a fresh water tile to gain the 2 health points.

    Monarch difficulty = computer gets 17 turn headstart?

    So, you noticed the AI gets bonusses on higher levels? And on what speed takes a worker first 17 turns?

    Cottage Rush? Do worker first strategies work?

    why not with only one seafood? I even put 0F/3H tiles into use, thus halting growth to get them. Growth is useless unless there are improved tiles to be worked.

    It is? I didn't know, seems like a rather basic way to create a random serie.

    Cottage Rush? Do worker first strategies work?

    The growth of those cottages will help you research Divine Right, not monotheism.

    amazing odds

    Basically the function they use is: #define MAX_UNSIGNED_SHORT (0xffff) #define RANDOM_A (1103515245) #define RANDOM_C (12345) #define RANDOM_SHIFT (16) unsigned short get(unsigned short usNum) { m_ulRandomSeed = ((RANDOM_A * m_ulRandomSeed) +...

    amazing odds

    They don't use rand(), neither the Mersenne twister, but their own implementation. Which seems to be a bit dodgy as well to me (but I don't know much about random number generation), but doesn't show any anti-human bias ;)

    On the matter of 'Strike'

    You can get maces, SAM infantry, destroyers, subs, carriers, bombers, gunships, artillery and ICBM's without code of laws :) Not that I recommend skipping code of laws though ;)

    Is slavery essential ?

    You can whip immediately. It will come into effect directly when it comes out of revolt, you can even queue whips when still in revolt.

    What do you think of permanent alliances?

    Tokugawa needs to be one step above friendly to agree, and since that step doesn't exist, he'll never agree.

    Tech Tree Question

    No you get 20% for construction. Mathematics is 'optional' even while that doesn't make sense. Just as a max 40% bonus for writing would be more logical.

    Can't build cathedrals?

    It's because it is already in the build queue of London. The 4 is because you play Huge world size en you are playing epic.
