The UA from Rome is great. For a cultural victory with more cities, you could better go with france because of the +2 cult/city UA, i think. For a CV i would skip the liberty tree but the rest sounds great. You could also try Egypt, saves hammers and time from wonderbuilding and also has an...

Ranged units are pretty powerfull, but i think that makes CiV work with the no stacking and hexes. It makes warfare a tactical component of the game and i like it. By making ranged units strong the programmers forced warfare to be fought this way and i think by adding the range aspect to combat...

I've visited: Big Ben Eiffel Tower Notre Dame Sistine Chapel Louvre Pyramids The remains of Circus Maximus Oxford University

Most of the time when I play babylon i sette the GS from writing. I once tried settling more but bulbing later GS gets me more of an advantage, especially when you save uo some GS. But maybe a a way to make academy's more used is to give them a bonus when more are settled. So tactics become...

I could be horribly wrong but the library nor the NC have a specialist slot. With current patches the first specialist building for science is the university.

try this: settle settler and build: scout, monument, worker, settler. (then GL or units) Take liberty as SP take the settler one first after opening the tree. Hopefully you run across a goodyhut which gives you +20 culture: then youll pop your sp settler before turn 20, otherwise after turn 20...

thanks a lot, so postphoning conquering her but keep on containing. I will try to use the advice. I know losses are normal but lossing a riflemen against a late medieval army feels wrong, but quess ill have to learn to live with that. Getting my own navy up and running feels like a big...

today i was playing a game with hiawata pangua king 6 civs. I attacked japan with my mohawks, rushed to rifles to DoW england. they had 3 cities and i conquered 1, signed peace because of happiness issues. I DoW'd England again but my rifles didnt do any good: the 2 cities lizzy got lets were...

Taking my first policy always makes me doubt but i've reached some conclusions for myself that maybe you can use, think of or comment on. I like tradition. Opening with +3 culture and getting an early wonderbonus is awesome in my playing style. I normaly go GL -> whatever i find necessary ->...

@anandus i didnt check, hadnt time to play today, but i think that in main menu you can easily click your way and play with previous settings. Have to check to be sure. But nevertheless rerolling would be a nice option ( i never take a fish-as-food start )

nope, allthough you can just click start game in the menu. you wont have to go through the setup but skipping loading time and the story about the chosen civ isnt possible.

@shanjahanii yes the explanation on maurits was for his infantry because you said they weren't 17th century and i didnt understand you made the remark based on the word infantry.

uhm yes he was(maybe you mixed him up with the brother of the current heir whom is also called maurits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurice_of_Nassau,_Prince_of_Orange furthermore: the french have an UU from 2 different periodes(musketeers and foreign legion) allthough i agree that civs should...

People think about stadholder William III, he fought of Lious XIV numerous times and william became king of england in 1689(after the glorious revolution). As UU, i would go for mauritian infantry, maurits who was mentioned as a possible leader of the dutch(i dont disagree, but at his time...

Ill try to give some tips: Building a scout is considered the best opening, what to do next depends on a lot of factors. Stealing a worker from a city state is also considered as a good move. Best wonders? my favorite is scoring the great library, then asap the national college. This makes...
