Playing on a massive continents world on a middle difficulty. Last night, I finished my first game, and it will be my last from both BE and Firaxis as a whole. I am thoroughly disgusted and pissed that I got interested enough in the fluff to override my disgust for Civ 5 to give them another...

You won't have medium cavalry until much later in medieval. Archery training is practically all the way to renaissance. I think you are just ignoring the point I am trying to make by covering it up with assuming I am having difficulty dealing with this design. I assure you, I am not. I am...

And do you honestly find this to be an enjoyable mechanic? I can take care of the revolts. You just need three or four light cavalry, and maybe one or two swordsmen in case they run to a forested hill. If they are meaningful revolts, they shouldn't happen every other turn. Medieval...

Double post

3.2 is wonderful! Currently in the late middle ages of my second game (huge/realistic/big&small/monarch) as Egypt. Currently, the only balance issue I have found that I think needs to be looked at are the medieval slaves/serfs. In the ancient era, by the time you get mining, you have access...

Managed to close the browser window when I was just about done with the writeup. /flipdesk Let's try this again On turn 26, I got archery and selected metal lore next. Because my warrior scout that was S is very near the borders, I turn off research to upgrade him. I'll turn him into the...

I don't have time to post write it up now, but I played 25 more turns. Mansa is going to beat me to the desired site, but I do have copper close by.

Hi all, I have posted a game playthrough thread in strategy & tips trying to break into Emperor on 3.1 Right now, it's just me and Tachy posting. I'd love more input. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=514980

My reasoning for the scout was this: it's still 15 turns or so until the barbarians show up, I don't have archery yet, and my city is still pretty small. Thinking about it now, I probably should have put two turns into the settler, switched to an archer in two turns, then switch back to the...

So, the first turnset: Turn 5: Mansa Musa ran into me from the East. Turn 15: My warrior took the first hit from a wolf. Turn 20: Tokugawa ran into me from the West. Looks like the area I'm in is a fairly narrow. Turn 22: Found Mansa's borders to the East Turn 25: End...

Moved one NW with the warrior. Saw a grassland cow. Inspected the edge of the fog of war, and saw that 2w was a grassland hills and 2w1s was a grassland. Also, if I moved 2n1w, the fog looks like I'd have a tile of jungle in the BFC. I didn't want to risk a better food resource and a possible...

Yeah, the 25 minute load time is why I haven't bothered with the SVN. Only takes a minute with the released version. It's 600:hammers: in 3.1 I must just be having awful luck or something. I am not exaggerating that I consistently get eaten by AIs almost as soon as I get the region fogbusted. I...

So this may be my sub-par play, or they may have changed enough between 3.1 and SVN that things are completely different, but to me, it seems like food is no longer the primary thing to be gunning for at the start in RI, simply because of 1) the super low happy cap and few ways to raise it, and...

Sorry - Nomad Raider. Heavy Cavalry. Strength 3, Move 2, Ignores movement costs. +50% against cavalry, infantry, recon, and defends at +50% against chariot. Ends up just around crapshoot if you're defending with militia.

It is automatically 2:food:2:hammers:1:commerce: I did drop it from huge to large. You don't count citrus as good? I think it's one of the best things to see in the BFC of the first city because it gives either 3:food:1:hammers:1:commerce: or 2:food:2:hammers:1:commerce: that can't be...
