Agreed. The only time I tend to build counter units is when a rambling bunch of hephalumps are coming my way, or I intend to attack a heavy elephant enemy. Otherwise, I (usually) stock up heavy on horse archers and macemen with a good compliment of seige units. As soon as the time Knights are...

On a bit of a side-thought, my laptop has a comparble setup (bar onboard gfx - yuk) to my desktop which blazes anything yet the laptop struggles. I quickly found that the basic SATA drives that ship with a lot of lappies are crap at best. Slow as a wet week to say the least. My original one was...

No, you can't repeat/multiple build the same NW's or WW's, just like a normal game. Now a Capitol with Bereaucracy.... :lol: I've played this way a few times and yes it's a heap of fun. I usually play it using the Tectonic maps so you end up with up to 6 food bonus tiles in your Capitol BFC and...

Sigh - I'm getting old. :)

I should have thought a bit harder. :) Was it Civ III or Cv IV where you could break treaties immediately and push hard again once your troops have rested and regrouped? I know this made the AI rather nasty towards you. :p

I understand the term you used it in, as a lot of players in Diablo II also seems to bandy the word with gay abandon. The new generations coming through consider the term to now mean "destroy in the fastest and most violent way possible". Many consider the horror of the crime well above murder...

Initially thought of doing that also when the suggestions came rolling in, but seeing I just the one enemy left to conquer, and a ton of workers loafing about I found it easier to go the canal route. Suggestion logged for the next time something like this happens. :)

Absolutely the rankest, most disgusting thing I have heard on this board. Not funny in the least.

Nice list Supr49er, thumbs up. I never got around to making something like this that I can plan to so I'm stealing yours and printing it as I type. :p (Well, I would be if the printer wasn't out on one cartridge which has now disabled all function except software-force scan. I can't even send...

Same thoughts as CCRunner. Nukes won't affect the culture per-se but may destroy some culture buildings. On the nuke side, I believe that for a culture win, you need to currently hold the cities for the win so if you nuke him as heavily as possible or just one of his main culture cites, it...

Need it to turn up as a Uranium mine quest! :D I had a similar quest for copper once. Izzy was the target and the resource smack bang in the middle of her hunting grounds. The problem - I was busily copping the business end of a ton of her axemen and summarily losing a lot of ground. Wee bit...

On Noble (and maybe soon Prince) level, I leave it to the enemy to build for a few reasons: 1 - In the time it takes to build, I can pump out settlers/workers/axemen/buildings etc. and make my empire that little bit better/bigger/stronger early on. 2 - Usually by the time I get around to...

That tends to make the other Civ's very distrustful of you and they talk in whispers in corners while pointing at you. :D It also tends to make them form defensive alliances more readily against you and also, if you do it oo many times, essentially when you go to war again, many other Civ's will...

Googly: When you play a total wipeout game, you can take all the enemy cities, but all the units will remain until they are killed off. I've played a few like this and left close to 2 dozen enemy units roam around on thier island for the remainder of the game. and none were disbanded/destroyed...

Wow. Imagine trying to tell HIM where to attack! Somehow, I really don't think He'd listen. :D And with all that sushi, he'd be too busy forever fighting off my cat! :P
