yup...this is true, just found that out today. had the GL, met up with civs that I know where well ahead of me on the tech tree, when they reared their ugly heads, my screen was nothing, but I've discovered, got that and this, all the way past education but not into the next age, didn't matter...

....I just can't understand the point of the way it's programmed. Huge map, 12 civs, pangaea(sp), there are actually two large islands. Me plus 7 others on one and 5 on the other, I"m America! All the way up to around 1500AD, there was no sign of the 5 missing, too far away. I was...

also on a side note about placing cities, or the way I do it....once your town hits it's first cultural conversion and the borders expand, htat is also your city production limit, nothing out side of that first border growth will get worked, so unless another town is using those adjacent squares...

well that was certainly a lesson I wasn't expecting!! as it turns out I found I could just barely get through to the east....as I would expect, al the other civs I found were at least 8 techs ahead of me! the Great Lib was wrought by someone else, so there was no hope at that point...

........with only 5 towns and no land anywhere in sight! Even having the lighthouse doens't allow me enough movement to find any land! Mind you, this is a predominant land mass map.......how the hell did I get the crap island! this is the second game in a row that this has happened!

I care not what anyone says, the AI knows my every move and therefore do what it needs to do....sometimes referred to as cheating, I will refer to it as unfair advantage. Especially at REGENT level. I attempted 3 Regent games, only to quit due to the overwhelming desire of the AI to...

1) Mines vs. irrigation: I had a city that was taking way too long to produce so I went about having a worker convert an irrigation to a mine to a get a few more shields hoping this would reduce production time. As it turns out the worker went ahead in auto-mode and converted it back to...

In that case, it would be reasonable to say to plant a settler on the fifth square from an established city to make the best use of land, makes it easier and quicker to build roads between, etc. I don't mean throught out the whole game, I understand about strategic cities, being near water...

Hmm, well, I didn't ask properly to begin with because the server on base was being rebooted and had to log off. Here's more info, i think. Your borders expand, but when I go to city view, they only show city occupants producing shield, gold and food out to no more than 2 squares. I don't...

I've noticed that no matter how far the borders expand, any given city only has its squares worked out to 2 squares all the way around. so anything beyond the second square that isn't occupied by another city doesn't get worked, therefore no benefit to the city. So should as many of the...

Are there any? I've played for quite while, CIV3 only, but I have a hard time believing the AI can spit out settlers so fast. The best I've been able to do is a settler in 6 turns, then POP drops by two so it takes longer next time around. Yet the AI still kicks them out with no effort. This...

i captured a level 6 japanese city, got it to a level 11, highest culture in the game but last in techs. They still flipped!! so I reloaded to an autosave before it to see if I can keep it, it's kind of critical tactically. I just can't believe it flipped!

As the Koreans, Greece kept crossing in my territory, knowing full well he wanted a war...sure enough. But I was fat on tanks whereas he didn't have any. And as luck would have it, one of my last verteran cavalry, fortified on top of a mountain trying to regain health after being knocked down...

No.......there isn't.......but there is something very wrong with losing 3 Cavalry to one samuri.

Okay, maybe no attack bonus....put them on flat ground... 3 cavalry with big guns couldn't kill a single samuri with s long knife...:rolleyes: and 1 spearman defends against 5 horsemen. Sorry but some of these are a bit ridiculous, somethings should never happen. I can certainly...
