140 hours? That's quick! Plenty of games I've left running over 200 hours. I would like to know actually how much time I am playing though; I would often expect over 100 hours per game, as many times I micro every city on every turn of the game. Usually this is a terrible strategy, because I end...

Also, wonders don't get autorazed.

The only thing I like about Civ5 relative to Civ3 is that the combat is more or less non-random, similar to Advance Wars.

Well, the AI is trying to do it right, putting only one type (well, speed) of unit into armies, but no one told it about the rule change between PtW and C3C that armies now get +1 move.

Preserve Random Seed defaults to 'on' I think. Can it be toggled for an in-progress game by changing one of the values in Conquests.ini? I don't see a variable called RandomSeed in there, but there is a huge long string of bits, called Preferences...

Good to have you back Steve. :goodjob: For a moment there I thought I'd be on the hook for some real work. I got a government job to avoid doing that sort of thing! :shifty:

Where's all the extra culture coming from? If you've built temples and cathedrals, remember that you can sell them again; 1000y.o. temples in particular will be making a problematic amount of culture, while their happiness contribution is negligible, especially compared to a cathedral with...

I haven't studied this style of game in detail, but as I understand it, it's all about (a) getting a start with some good food, (b) cranking out a couple of jaguars super-fast with whips (possibly including joining your worker to the capital for extra whip victims), (c) running the jaguars...

Although Civ3 maps do have 3 possible topolgies, I think!

I have made no boasts, no claims at all about my level of skill or length of experience. A boast would be a comment such as "Well, I for one [do not have limited experience]." It is a rather silly boast, I think, given that 10 years is obviously not an unlimited amount of time.

Oh? Who here does not have a limited amount of experiences to draw from? Your condescending tone is not called for here, nor indeed would it be called for anywhere.

Maps don't equal line of sight; popping maps from a hut doesn't show you any foreign units that you wouldn't have seen without the hut. Of course you might sometimes have seen AI units fortified next to barb camps. I propose that is for the same reason you'll sometimes find my units fortified...

Accidental dom in 1778ad, 1 tile over the limit. :rolleyes: Would have hit 20k in 1808ad.

Well I think a couple of people (including me) did offer to make maps last time we had hiatus. It's going to be a busy weekend for me, but I have next Wednesday off work, so if no one else has come up with anything by then, I'll see if I can break out the editor.
