LOL, Has anyone actually seen privs that the AI built? They don't seem to use them, I've literally never seen them. Must be too complicated for them... Funny, stupid Privateer story So the other day, I create a semi-large foreign empire, which I grant independence (to save myself some...

Agreed, but then, does anyone care that we don't care? "I was saying Booerns..."

Count me in, username: scorth Just got WiC, so far, so good!

I played a similar game recently (ended up yesterday with a Domination Victory). Basically, I randomly ended up with Joao (I forgot to choose a Civ, oops) I had 5 Cities on the main continent when I founded two in the new world. I made a colony, to save some cash (Washington...I should've...

I've never seen the AI use forts, except in similar ways to what you experienced. I'm currently playing a Terra map. The North and South poles of the "New World" are completely blocked my ice and land. So, I build a city on the "new world" near the midpoint to act as my own personal...

I'm also surprised that friends of the former country are able to become such fast friends with the new colony, too. Similarly confusing to me is the way that I can, with tanks and infantry, take over a country protected with cavalry and riflemen, immediately create a colony and the former...

I would imagine that the diplomat modifiers would have to be like -10 or -15 for the victim and also very, very high for the friends of that Civ. I'm thinking of the continuing anger towards the acts committed by the Nazi's or the bombing of Hiroshima/Nagasaki. I guess that, in my opinion...

Good points, thanks. I guess maybe I could just take out the Cultural Civ and then wait on the Space Race... All of that conquest is going to take time that I'm not sure I'm willing to spend. I just figured that I could finish it up in 10-20 turns... :rolleyes: But I see now that I've gotta...

So in my current game I'm trying to eek out a domination victory (mostly because space is going to take a long time and I'm getting tired of the game). Another civ is close to a Cultural victory (although I'll just raze a city or two to slow her down). My question is: If I'm at 41-42%...

That sound is LOUD! I have basically given up on listening to the game after I get a few Priv's out there. Who's idea was it to fling coins at me every turn?

I'm not really PRO-airship, but I'm not ANTI-airship (or is that what unit we're proposing here?) IMO it's a unit that was added to increase the air presence in the game (which is still lacking). It is relatively weak and must be employed in fairly large numbers. To be honest, it has had a...

I'd say build the 'mids. But it's already been said

Ditto on the horses, my current game shows about 3 or 4 on the map...hardly enough for 12 civs, is it? **Give me your damn horses Khan!** Although, to be honest, I haven't been that impressed with the horse units anyway, I rarely use them, except to plunder squares. And if I intend to keep...

Nothing worse than being pummelled by f*ing airships whilst beelining to flight just to get some relief. I personally like airships for recon and for softening up cities (as does the AI), to be honest, I've never built more than 3 or 4, they just don't seem very realistic to me (maybe that's...

I think that it might be pretty underwhelming to see an aircraft carrier emerge carrying...Airships...strange to launch a slower vessel, but whatever. I personally think that if you build a fort in neutral territory and you have a land-based unit occupy, then it should act as a forward air...
