How do I get some really nice food bonuses? It seems like city growth is the factor for all science and money creation, but Wheat doesn't do anything? Is there any thing I can do to dramatically increase food production? If gold and science are calculated empire wide, is food? if not why not?

Then you are playing the game wrong.

Yeah because the horsemen opening gambit wasn't strong enough ;)

* You should be able to tell combat Percentages with another unit before starting a war. I disagree with this. I like that you can't tell how a battle will turn out before you declare war.... you need to be sure you can win before you start and it adds a little bit of thrill to war.

I did this with the aztecs. Culling other civs is worth two or three social policies a peace.

I love the Aztec Unique building... it boons population +15% food is always a good idea. Ashame their UU is weaker than barbarians.

A human player would have been able to trash your 4 GDRs, then you would have been out of gold and out of luck.

;) I'd still rather build cheap ass horsemen at 12 strength.

Only connect your production cities to your capital 1 or 2. Believe me Sid wants you building railroads ;)

I agree.... DO NOT IMPLEMENT PUPPET COSTS.

I played on a large Earth Map.

I played as the Aztecs... basically rushed to Horseback Riding. Built three of them. Rush honor tree for a free great general... Murder your enemies. Be virtually unstoppable for the next 3000 years. At one point things got a little weird so I upgraded them all to knights... unstoppable...

That sucks. Sounds like a bug to me. Everyone has to go home first to get the promotion? Week sauce.:scan:
