    Better to make a promise then break it, or just tell the AI to go away?

    For diplomatic modifiers, breaking a promise is +20, while refusing a request is +15. For reference, Denouncements are +35 each.

    Any strategy to Research Agreements??

    Research agreements are a way to convert gold into beakers, usually at better than 1:1 ratio. So is it worth it? Definitely, but inherent to all gold related question is whether you have another use for it atm. That trade-off is game dependent, and sometimes you're better off rush-buying...

    Are people who play civ smart, or am I an elitist?

    (I find my earlier comment rather harsh and brash, so allow me try again.) Search as you will, every statistics or metric of the Civ playing base, you'll not find a single one where majority of the players play at the highest level. Civ is a difficult game, and vast majority of us play at a...

    Are people who play civ smart, or am I an elitist?

    No. You're just looking for an in-group on which to call your own. Playing a game, listening to music, wearing a brand should not automatically define who you are nor provide you any sense of superiority.

    build priorties

    I dislike the concept of blindly building a set build order in every single city. If you look at the numbers, it doesn't add up. For example, let's just take a look at Granary: If you have a wheat, bananas, or deer in your first ring, building it makes a lot of sense. But what if you don't...

    old GOTM and current version

    I am a lurker that enjoys playing and replaying through the old GOTMs to comparing my progress with the after reports. TSG 41, 43, 47, and 53 all played perfectly fine in the newest patch, so that should bode well for OP.

    Best Civs for the long late-game

    B17 does not go obsolete, since Stealth Bomber requires a different resource. The idea is to purposely build B17 for the free Siege I and Evasion, promote Siege II, Siege III, and logistics, then upgrade to SB. Edit: I made a couple mistakes - Panzer and Zero also don't go obsolete, with Zero...
