Congrats. I'm playing on the same level (noble, right?) and have used Praetorian and Keshik rushes, but not finished a game off before Industrial. Currently playing a religious/cultural with Ghandi, but next I just might try the Vikings.

As a fan/student of japanese history, I'm often disappointed in Tokugawa as well. I understand the rationale behind his behavior and their civ's isolationism, but the facts are on most maps they're not isolated. Shoguns and other war leaders of the japan's ancient era's were nothing if not...

Thanks Bostock; corrected. Addressing the overcrowding, well, is usually counterproductive. The only ways I know of to do it is to whip the people (under Slavery); You can reassign what tiles are worked to either starve (not a good idea) or put them in a stagnant condition, and click the...

Likely sick; you would be able to see a sick yuck face :yuck: as well. It's caused by a combination of overcrowding and possibly city improvements related to production, like the Forge, Factory, Coal Plant, etc. Also nearby jungle, floodplains contribute, and so on. You need to either build...

Epic, followed closely by Marathon. Never faster than Standard. I like to stretch out the ancient times as long as I can. I might play No Tech Trading, or at least Brokering, soon . . . .

Same here, I haven't had a game yet where copper doesn't practically fall into my civ's lap. It's horses and iron that the game loves to place tantalizingly out of reach, and usually just adjacent to one of my hostile neighbors. As well as gold. My games have been mostly Terra, a few Fractal...

Whoa. Rolo, are you seriously from Portugal? I've traveled all around the world and lived abroad, but never met anyone from Portugal. Hi! :wavey: ------ whups, OT! Okay, ummm. . . . How do you farm for Engineers? GA's, GP's, GS's, GM's I can get, but so far no Engineers.

I'm not sold on Ghandi yet (UU: "Fast worker" sounds of head thumping the monitor. ) I'm just playing him on Noble trying for my first religion-based win. Somehow I ended up owning ALL the religions & sites, although I'm promoting Hinduism. To my north is Shaka, who loves me, even as I'm...

You could have some "criminal" corps, too, like the drug cartels or slave trade. You'd have to spread their reps like spies, and branches just drain money, increase sick people. Not serious, that just made me think along the lines of corporate warfare . . . . . maybe instead of buying out...

When I remind the Cat that Emanicipation doesn't include felines.

Since I bagged on Rush (the weiner), turnabout is fair play Michael Moore (Great in his own mind Person) -1:strength:, -1:move: Requires: Mass Media, Liberalism +10:science: for every city with a Broadcast Tower (+20 for the Eiffel Tower ) +1 :mad: for every city where a Corporation...

Lies! The photo features a professional actor and a Stunt-Pig (from the Union of Stunt Pigs). Any resemblences to Ned Beatty are purely coincindental. For the record, it's the "worker" that has the lines, one line, actually, the dramatic and (dare I say it), yes, shakespearian porcine...

yeah, well, you can't beat Morgan, I agree, he's the top of the heap. I don't picture Aliens when I hear Signourney's voice, tho' - rather, Planet Earth

Allright, who brought the banjo! :crazyeye:

I play Epic and Marathon for the same reason. I like the ancient world, and would prefer to linger in it. I start up a game, and before I know it, I'm in "the Industrial Age". Or as the OP posted, I find the window of my UU's usefullness, or any other unit, eclipsed or at least shortened to the...
