    Can't make it past 2000 BC (City placement frustration)

    Try legendary start from the options for resource placement. Personally i have found no start so bad it could not be worked out. Just depends what kind of challenge you're looking for.

    Another set of balance changes

    Thanks for the suggestions Krikkitone. I may not agree with many of them, the following i do agree with. Mounted Units penalty for attacking cities is a good idea. Upgrade to Mech Infantry seems to be a match imho. If they last that long. Stables adding happiness when mounted units...

    How much is this unit costing me per turn?

    After acquiring over 20 workers from the Aztec civ, i started deleted them and noticed a strange thing. Delete 1 no change in maintenance cost. Delete 2 saved 10 gold on maintenance. So i can safely say 2 workers = 10 gold in maintenance during the Modern age. Must be some kind of increased...

    City defense range

    You are correct that cities have a range of 2. My reason for increasing the range of city defenses are to keep up with the military units range increases. The Dynamite tech advance grants artillery an increase in range to 3 hexes. Battleships have a range of 3 and ships can get a promotion to...

    Bonus for city adjacent to natural wonder

    The Great Barrier Reef is 2 hexes worth of Goodness, sitting in the ocean. 1 Happy, 4 hammers and 6 commerce total.

    If Happiness and Gold, why not Food?

    This sounds like a grand idea. Maybe even start with food sharing when each city has a Granary and road connection. Or link it with a social policy like Liberty

    City defense range

    I'd like to see the range of cities increase to 3 hexes when Tech advancement Dynamite is reached. Bring back Workshops that add 1 Production to grassland, plains, tundra and desert.

    AI Warfare Enhancement

    What i would like to see is some dedicated AI offense and defense. 1. The capital should never be undefended. AI should have a dedicated force to defend its capital. If the Capital is a port, there needs to be a defending fleet. (I have taken most capitals and never saw a defending unit)...

    Attack a city with a naval unit heals it if HP below certain amount

    3 Frigates were used to bring down defense of city, so Land unit could take it. When the city reached 0 health, i clicked to bombard and it healed the city 1 Hit point. Because it was multiplay, i did not get a save file. If anyone can confirm this oddity , please post here. Thanks.

    Do you still use specialized cities?

    All cities need food and Culture. Maybe specialization with regards to a Science & Happy city. Wonders could be built with this in mind. For military units, 1 city for Cavalry production. Coastal cities you might want 2 major ship building complexes based on the size of your empire. These are...

    puppet then annex

    My current game, Rome vs Greece, Siam, Egypt, i decided to try out the puppet and annex choices. For Egypt, i just outright annexed each city as they fell. It required a long time to build the courthouses, especially as the populations in all but Thebes were low. Overall it taught me not to...

    Preliminary Tips and Strategy

    1. Make city-states your friends. Absolutely a great way to get a leg up on the AI's. Look for the Friendly ones and don't be shy spending coin on your newest City-State GF. Patronage Policy can be an extremely helpful path, if you have the gold and opportunity. Militaristic Matilda...

    ugh!! ptw singleplayer game crash

    Hey, does anyone know of a quick fix for this crash? It really stinks to play for multipule hours in an internet game and have this error put a stop to everything. Someone with authority should be responding to the crash prone minority.
