I like this strategy. I'll give it a try in my next game. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will usually get a pantheon and I will choose one that will benefit me in the early game. Your idea of using only one GP to found a religion to get the Grand Temple may not be the best. Yes, it will allow you to keep your pantheon and get 8 more faith, but if you plant the GP instead, you will...

The only time I will use the GP to create a religion is if I will be the only civ with a religion on the continent. Otherwise, I will plant all my GPs on tiles and I will sometimes complete the piety tree (even without a religion), which will generate a large amount of gold and faith, both of...

This is a little trick I learned that helped with a diplomatic victory. I was going for a diplomatic victory and about half way through the game I captured the capital of a civ that had been eliminated and liberated it. In my past experience, a liberated city doesn't last long and is quickly...

Do the AIs get any added cultural bonus for the higher levels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This happens with all my victory paths, even a cultural victory. I never thought of bulging GAs early in the game, but it would give a boost to culture. Is that what the AI does?

Yes, as soon as possible. Thanks.

I should add that I build cultural buildings and specialists ASAP and fill my great works slots fairly quickly as well. I also try to ally one or two cultural city states as soon as I can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I play immortal in BNW and in every game there is always two civs that by mid game are producing about three times the culture I am. No matter what I do I can not increase my culture until in the late game. Any suggestions on how to improve my culture? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're right. Once I started the game there it was and I love it. This is much much better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for the tip. I downloaded the mod and placed it in the correct folder and then started CiV, but it did not appear with my other mods. Did I forget something? I noticed that according to the info on this mod that it has an improved city banner. I already have a mod that improves the...

This sounded like a fascinating play style so I thought I'd give it a try. However I found that because I did not have a city there was no bar at the top indicating my gold, culture, etc. And even though I acquired gold through meeting CSs and finding ruins I had no gold. Also no culture. Am I...

Sending my worker all the way to the other end of my territory to mine that gold only to realize I hadn't researched mining yet (slaps palm on forehead). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually it makes perfect sense. If, in the real world, Germany began staging a massive number of tanks within their own borders, but right on the border with France, wouldn't France be at least a little bit concerned? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am not certain if this is the case, but after 2000+ hours of play I have noticed a frequent trend where tiles are selected to join the borders of one city to the borders of another city. I have noticed the same scenario you described in my games and it was always to join city borders. Sent...
