I don't think the current Dome is useless, but it is very circumstantial. I only consider building them if I have a few "nice to have" tiles in the third ring, or if the city is bordering my opponent. For border cities the extra tiles are a nice little thing, and the hp can be usefull too.

I like Spain. They play differently compared to any other civ in the game. Spain is pretty much the only civ I would conquor a city state with. There are only a very few situations when I would build a city off my starting continent, with Spain I'm, much more inclined to do so. Depending on...

A little thing that bothers me is that the AA units does not get experience from successful interceptions. The way I imagine they are supposed to be used, is to have them move behind the front lines, to guard the front from air attacks, and doing this will never promote them.

In my last game (G&K) I was Ethiopia, my nighbours were Sweden, the Ottomans and the Huns. I was going for a tall defensive game, starting in Tradition, I opened Honor to hunt barbs and befriend city states, a series of early wars led me down the Honor path. All of my opponents had a tech lead...

I build them on ocation. They are excelent defenders and scouts, I give them away to city states when they go obsolete. If I spot a hut on an island I always try to pop it with an unpromoted CA, if I have one. That upgrade to knight can be a gamechanger.

When I'm in the mood for an action packed game, I play Monty, finish Honor as soon as I can. That way I get bonus gold and culture for every kill. When I play like that I usually keep a war going all game, even when I don't have capacity to expand, I still gain from all the killing.

I usually do a little bit of specialization. I always have a science focus city, it gets my national college and a few academies. Most games it will be my capitol, but if I see a great spot with a lot more food and a mountain or some jungle, I sometimes settle my second or third city there with...

Another thing that count in favour of Polynesia is that they get too meet everyone early, giving them a tech diffusion advantage, as well as giving them more trading partners. On top of that they get quicker access to all city states and their bonus quests. All in all I do however think I agree...

Don't delete it, gift it to a city state.

When I play tall and peacefull, I have placed forts in the desert boardering on some neighbour. Just a few so when fortified they can give me zone of control so my archers can manouver. I even do this with peacefull neighbours, when my workers does not have anything better to do. In another...

You should delay building roads untill both cities are at least as large as the number of tiles your road will be. Roads are very expensive to maintain and your worker can be used much better! Focus your worker on Luxury or Strategic resources, consider to sell them too. Have some gold ready to...

I usually build a few to guard my own territory. Like it was written above keeping it in my city it can pick off most attackers. They also work great in groups, or behind a Destroyer. I would think it was cool if they could stack with a surface ship, for protection. Do anyone know what happens...

Have Explorers be available round the time of Caravals, give them the same promotions as Marines (Embarked defence and Vision, maybe only vision). Give them 66% of the Muskets mans strength, the same way that the scout has 66% of a warriors strength. Explorers should have the same ignore...

If I'm looking at Denmark creatively, through the ages we have had more or less contol over the following nations: G-S-B Total Denmark 2-4-3 9 Faroe Islands 0-0-0 Greenland 0-0-0 Iceland 0-0-0 Norway 2-1-1 4 Sweden 1-4-3 8 Finland 0-1-2 3 Estonia 0-1-1 2 England Scotland Wales...

I think it's worth it. Many times the AI that is doing the bullying won't be popular with the other civs, so it won't hurt you that much. If the AI denounce. If the AI bully however has some friends then it becomes risky. Espacially if you have other demerrits, like the "free CS war" or...
