Play on a lower level to sharpen your skills. Then move back up to the higher difficulties. It sounds to me like you are trying to run before you can walk.

When you upgraded the unit you changed its type. That is all.

I hope this was a troll post.

Zouave has returned! I haven't seen you post in quite a while! Welcome back! Lowering the AI aggression levels would still retain their advantages at higher difficulty levels, their extra units and faster tech rate / production rate. The game would still be harder to win, just not a constant...

The model is realistic. Its an arms race. Your goal is to have enough nuclear weapons to insure mutual ahnialation. The answer is to build tons of nuclear subs. Equip them with warheads, escort them with battleships and Aegis cruisers, and surround your enemies shipping lanes...

If I defeat a Civ I usually make the next piece of my palace in their style... I think of it as using their architects and workers for slave labor!

If we were to look at this in a vs. side by side comparison: 20 Cossacks vs. 16 Sipahi the Cossacks would win. The reason being is each has twice the attack as the others defence, 8v4 and 6v3. Therefore they each have the same chance to destroy one another before any defensive bonuses. The...

OMG this is so asinine. You are assuming global warming would happen at such a fast rate that sea levels would rise fast enough to cause Asians to drown from the rising sea levels?! Haha... Oh no and those poor Canadians who are going to get flattened by the SPEEDING GLACIERS! *dies...

If you are going to include larger armies... there should be a stepping stone... Size 20 armies should only be available with great leaders, and size 4 armies should be available with pentagons or in ancient times or something. I'm sure a size 4 army fortified in a town full of defensive units...

Artillery is useful but I dont use it extensively. Artillery increases your odds of success dramatically. Defensively... it can give you an insurmountable edge against an opponent, fortified with an elite defender on a mountain or in a city... if an attacker has one less hp than you coming...

128 mb of RAM is enough if you know how to tweak your system. My first suggestion would be to GET RID OF ME! Windows ME is such a resource hog, if you are experiencing any crashes / lockups I'd blame every one of them on ME. Borrow a copy of XP from a friend, 98 se, or Windows 2000, in that...

This is the perfect idea to add to everyones idea that navy needs to be a more important aspect of the game anyways. Just a question... is it possible to create an area of control around all navy vessels? That way a single navy vessel can cause havoc to all 8 squares surrounding it as far as...

One trick to deal with corruption is to change from building mines to irrigation. A corrupt city with a high population will be more beneficial than a corrupt city with high production potential. Corrupt cities become population powerhouses -- and if you are building huge empires under...

Just remember Ironworks and nuclear plants can be stacked for a truly hellascious production rate in a single city.

They only meltdown in civil disorder in my experience.
