Haven't finished the game yet, I think it will be tough for me to win by anything other than space race now, thought that seems increasingly likely. I have weakened Monty to the point where if I DOW on him again with a military tech advantage he will fall over, Hannibal has been weakened also...

Wan kong I haven't had a problem with in the past, unless I wanna attack him and have to wade through his defensive units! I find Gilgamesh more of a pain usually tbh ... As well as the early war orientated Civs of course. I haven't seen Mansu Mansa for ages in my games, in fact over a year...

I think I monged out and put this in the wrong forum!

I am struggling with the question on if I should run scientists or build cottages. I feel that without The Pyramids, scientists are only worth it for GPP. I do however realise that a empire on 50% slider means that each scientists = a 6 gold tile for research output. However given...

I uploaded a 4000bc save, a 40AD and my current save for you to get a flavour of what is going on!

Well restarted the game off my 4000bc save, built fewer wonders and expanded more, focused my cities more, spammed more cottages and didn't go religion first. I am in a stronger position, got liberalism about 1220 ad, not great but maybe 100 years earlier. In my current game Monty declared on...

Editted cos I was wrong!

The way it actually went was something like this ... I made peace with Hannibal and Monty, I ignored Monty mostly and I think Cyrus and Monty had a small set to, then I built up my military trying to gtet powerful enough to take Hannibal. Just before I was ready he attacked me, so I swapped to...

Uploaded my save!

I won't lib at 800ad this game, I think I am on for 1300 ... To much war and too much spamming units kept me from building decent stuff (as I think of things). No libbing before 900ad was a one off event with Elizabeth of England, I often take Nationalism or Printing Press with lib depending on...

Sure, I can attach a sve directly to a post?

Ya, taking a shrined city is certainly better than building your own, I can see that! I still haven't managed to play another session of my current game as I had some holiday booked tonight however I foresee myself bee lining Comquistadors and 'doing' all my neighbours in, starting with...

I have been away from this thread for awhile, some interesting posts and 'discussions' ... I founded a religion in this game because it is something I never do and I was jealous of Boudicia getting a +44 gold shrine in one of my previous games so thought I would give it a try! I don't doubt...

Well I am playing Monarch on a large continents map. I am on an continent with Monty, Cyrus and hannibal. I went for horsemen quick and attack hannibal as he was getting out of hand, razed 2 cities and captured a 3rd. Then Monty attacked me but kept bouncing off my walls, then he bribed...

So how good do people think she is? I am playing a game with her ATM, i typically don't build castles in my games because I rarely tech engineering, this time I will tech it and build them and try for Notre Dam also. The bonus to siege means I will have to go warlike, the bonus trade route...
