Really? That's a bit discouraging... :( Not sure if this is a product of being isolated or just Deity :crazyeye: Also a good point. Normally I'm not this weak this late. Thanks for the advice. I guess if I want to start building NE right now then ya the current infrastructure matters. :eek...

Turnset T175-T180 Before starting, I start building :culture: in Seattle, it was silly of me not to :crazyeye: thanks Kaitzilla :) T175: The Celts have taken the barb city up near Egypt! :lol: No idea what Ramesses is doing over there. Founded the city of Los Angeles. I told the...

Huh, really? I would think that at 3:gold: or :hammers: per turn the buildings would pay back more than they were worth. Especially the half price ones.

Turnset T171-T174 T171: Napoleon has Replaceable Parts available for trade. He wants Nationalism, Music, Drama, and 70g. It's not super pressing right now so I don't take the deal. (He'll devalue it once it's no longer a monopoly, right?) T172: Boudica is now plotting war :eek: She is...

Turnset T168-T170 T168: In between turns, Ramesses gets Printing Press. Not my favorite arrangement, but I'll still grab it from backwards Sitting Bull: Set :science: to Literature. I see I can get 10 :gold:/turn from Napoleon, so I cancel Fish<->Cows deal so I can sell my Fish for cash :)...

Turnset T163-167 T162 (this turn): I queue up a Settler in Atlanta since it's about to grow into unhappiness. Also I turn some cities to build Research to get Gunpowder one turn faster. :) T163: Enough AIs now know Nationalism that I can trade for it... because somebody sold Astro to Ramesses...

Keeping Bantu raises another problem. There isn't enough room for another city on the coast if I don't raze + replace. :think: Either I should move the yellow dot 2W or burn Bantu to the ground. That darned Chicago mistake! :wallbash: It's in such an inconvenient spot. ... If I leave Bantu...

Thank you very much RedKi-rr! :D Sounds like a plan :thumbsup: Thanks for the very-specific advice. Maybe it doesn't seem like it, but this is exactly the kind of thing that I was looking for from this game. Some of these things aren't obvious! Much appreciated :love:

Ack! He probably did. That was a mistake on my part. Very unfortunate. He doesn't have Gunpowder yet though - once I get Chemisty, I can harass him with privateers and/or build Frigates. ... I will sign peace with Shaka in a few turns then. Will try to keep an eye on him with my Caravels...

Oh, I've had that issue before, but it's been so long that I don't remember how to solve it :think: Suggestions: 1. try running civ as an admin 2. Make sure you have both BUG and BULL (bull comes with instructions on how to combine the two) Next game I'll be sure to use BUFFY :)

Turnset T154-T162 T154 (this turn): As mentioned previously, gave 80:gold: to Boudica to get her to Pleased, then beg 1:gold:. She gave it and stopped plotting war! Swap to Hereditary Rule (obviously) and to Vassalage for a war buildup. T155: Traded Astro to Joao for Engineering and Aesthetics...

Oh! Good to know :) Huh, I don't tend to plan for war this far ahead of time. (Like, I know I'm going to war, but normally I don't start building units. I guess since infrastructure feels like it will make the breakthrough military tech come faster? Will do! I'll try it! ... Took 80:gold: to...

My current overall plan: Beeline to Steel after settling my continent. Go beat up on Ramesses/Sitting Bull/Shaka. But I will need to play the next turns with an amount of finesse I don't normally have to make it to that point quickly enough to make the difference! I will probably not play too...

Turnset T149-T154 T149: Open Borders with all parties :) I change the 2 of my mature cities which aren't working on settlers to worker builds. I was kinda neglecting expansion last time. Maybe a hard push now is necessary? I drew up a dotmap: There's 5 city sites to plant. Gotta get a move on...

Ack! One person says to join the war against Shaka and the other says to join against Nappy! :lol: I certainly trust Napoleon a bit more than Shaka :) but I'll take a look at the situation again before making a proper decision. You think about so many things that I just wouldn't, like AP...
