I have the I-Phone version and I don't think there is a way to tell where you are at with respect to culture. The version is adequate if you aren't home or near your xbox, but is lacking in quite a few areas. The worst things in my mind for that version are; 1.) Not being able to sell units...

To clarify, if you settle on top of a resource that you have researched the tech for, you get a +10 one time boost to the city that the resource provides. Example; If you have researched Construction and settle a city on top of Oak, you will get a one time boost of 10 hammers to that city...

Building a Better Civilization Little background... I have been a Civ fan since Civ2 on PC and jumped on CivRev since it's launch on 360. I learned the nuances of the game and through my own methods, increased my skill against the AI all the way through Deity, got all the 360 Achievements and...

Thanks Morte and GGrayson. After all is said and done, I have gained a new respect for Legion Armies and have added them to my early game repetoire. Using them to take an early capital and or a few other cities has made a huge difference in the Ancient Era and in combination with Rapid...

Morte, here are the numbers I come up with... Vet Legion: 9 fundamentalism: 3 (12) hill: +50% (18) galleon fleet: 3 Final attack: 21 those odds are almost 1:1 on fortified pikeman armies. But you are talking about rifleman armies. Have you actually won a battle with...

Morte, my veteran legion armies get 9 attack, how are you getting to 41.5 with fundamentalism?

REPORT FROM THE FRONT: First off, I would like to say thanks to Morte and the others in this (and other) forums. I apologize for coming off with such a harsh tone originally. I love this game and am intrigued by other approaches to the game. Thank you all (Especially Morte and GGrayson) for...

GGrayson, Morte, Thanks for your patience and detailed responses. I am going to attempt to put these strategies to practical use over the next couple of days. Thanks for your input, I'll report back and let you know how it goes

Another point that I may have missed here, after having read through the thread again, is that it appears that most of you are referring to MP games on-line. My comments have been based on SP Deity Games. It makes me wonder if Legions become better units in a MP game do to the lack of an AI...

GGRAYSON I agree with most of your points and will conceed that Legions are an early and cheap means of attacking and counterattacking. However, I still disagree with using them en masse and feel that they become so useless, so early that I skip them entirely. By the time you have built 6...

Morte, you keep touting your Legion Horde, I hope it serves you well. For my own playstyle, I will take two catipult armies with an archer army over the Legions everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.The reason being, they win. 2 Catipult Armies are far better than 4, 5, 6, etc Legion...

I know that Morte is a fan of Legions because I have read it in many of his threads, however I completely disagree with the mass production of Legion Armies as I think they are a waste of time and hammers. I played a game with the Germans two nights ago where I spammed warrior armies out of...

Go yankees

Odd. I was just playing a game as Russia, (who have the same bonus as Japan) but failed to see the difference. I made one archer without a barracks and made a second archer in a different city that had a barracks. Upon completion, they both had an attack of 1 and defence of 2. Unless they only...

When playing with a Civ that gets a free Loyalty Bonus, do I still need a Barracks to produce Veteran defensive units? Or does having the automatic bonus promote the unit above Veteran negating the need for one?
