Yes, O'Brien is a good player, and a starter. (Most of the time) He already won the title and the Amstel Cup with Ajax, maybe one more..............:D :D :D :D :D

I think it's ok to see some smaller civ's appear in the game. It would be fun making Iceland the biggest nation in the world:goodjob: So I guess it's Vikings for me please :D

Sounds familiar.....sort of. In my current game (Regent) I started with a "Warrior Gambit" out of frustration (A failed builder-game) As it turned out I became the biggest and baddest civ from day one........a first for me.:D It probably won't be a conquest-vic....on the other hand, the...

I wonder if the AI is ever using the automatic removal to get somewhere. I recently asked a civ repetedly to remove his units, and they just walked on until the auto-remove put them exacly on the tile I didn't want them to be on:cry: Guess i'll have to Culture-assimilate them..............:D

About 1. No. They will notice them but I have never had complaints about units within my own borders. 2. The chance of an alliance depends mostly on your power and your diplomatics. If you're powerfull it's more likely they leave you alone, unless you are a terrible diplomate:D as far as I...

The AI certainly can see more than you. In a recent game a settler walked in to my empire; probably on his way to some free terrain on the other side. when I blocked his passage with some units(still approx. 20 squares away) it turned around immediately. I move one unit, he comes back; close...

I just voted for (against) Germany, because they are one of the civ's who are always "demanding" this or that. In the early ages I trie to avoid contact as long as possible.......I thought about India and/or Zulus just because whatever setting I play they always live next-door somehow:mad...

I'm sure you all know about the bombardment-bug by using the "B"-key, but I never heard anyone about using this with other units. It works with every key-command.........:D I can land a paratrooper anywhere...... :D. Didn't need it though.. Is this old news or is everyone playing with a...

If they withdraw, fine. :p It's only that I'm used to fighting the AI till the end. Most of the time they don't know when to quit...... Thanks for the reply guys :goodjob:

Maybe this is nothing unusual, but it's a first for me..... Late in the game +/- 2000ad my neighbour India declares war on me, so I take one of his border cities and roll on to his capitol with about 20 Mech inf. While surrounding the city he steps out with 8 infantry, so I'm expecting a...

All sound tips. I use a lot of them myself. By the way, about that salad-bar: Waar kan ik die salad-bar vinden (in Dutch).....:D

I had the same problem at the beginning of my current game. I figured it was because a: I was the smallest and least powerfull and b: The tech was to new for them to sell. After trading some luxuries and wiping the Germans of the map, trading tech's became more and more do-able. Make them...
