Its very strong contender because it replaces a building you would build anyway for most citys and produces a great boost when you need one most for faith . The paper maker for china is another strong contender , giving a bonus to a building that you would want to build early anyway and with...

No - Just No , your ignorance is so massive that ive taken offense to this . Please do not make this personal. What you posted is flaming someone. Make your argument, but do not discuss the poster. Nearly all of the problems in the world are made not by those who don't believe in the...

This actually should read as "Would you like to pay x amount for a strong diplomatic bonus with us"

This is often the case now . a lot of civs tend to choose Tradition or piety as their default opening . So pyramids never show up till turn 200 or other odd stuff .. Quiet typically I see Leaning Tower of Pisa (free great person , then next turn Globe Theatre)

I think there is a lot to be said for Morocco Petra/Kasbah/Folklore cheese .

Not to mention Venice Austria Siam Greece Portugual Huns etc who have U's assosicated with City States . They get a big nerf if you take out the City States

Not overly convinced with this as I found in the game i played as port that I was driven to go for a money based buy all the city states game anyway . When allied it becomes pointless

If you push into the territory of the enemy they are far more willing to give up . If they are attacking and you just sit in your house they gonna try and knock it down

I find that no matter how many city states you have you can still easily buy them all . Buying them each in turn will snowball . Once you are getting enough of a spread of them you will be able to flog all your luxuries to raise money to buy more , you can stop producing units and develop your...

If they thing you can afford more they will ask for more . Pretty sure if they are in unhappy they will give you a fair trade because they need the resource , otherwise they will try and squeeze you . shop around . the RAs are the same and i think they want more if you are a head because you...

Gah I had a game I was in the middle of but now I am going to go home and play this instead !

Did this with Celts and also bagged a Longest Name Ever achievement whilst at it

And the kasbah , silly city with petra and desert folklore . I think in all honesty Brazilwood camp is my least favorite UI

Terrace Farms - That one time that you get a hill with 5 Mountains around it is always amusing to see those numbers . It also can lead with just a few mountains to a silly amount of growth. The one time I played as brazil i was underwhelmed by the wood camps .

I think you under estimate the following bonus in how useful they are , Well Open Borders - nearly essential for a cultural victory . Good Price for Luxury- Strategics - very useful for all victory types. Particularly diplo where your resources can be sold at full whack and then used to...
