how do you deal with aggressive civs with this strat? it's similar but better than one i was trying :p emperor is as high as i've been able to go been wanting to get a win on immortal or deity. was trying the last couple days but no luck so far. had a pretty decent start but the zulus attacked...

i was just trying to approximate it phonetically in english :p that's how they sounded to me heh. i assumed it was ga-jah so when i heard it different in the intro i was confused.

i bought off the city states because i had so much gold coming in and because hiawatha was trying to screw me in the world congress :p i thought they were very fun. when i hit the modern era some of my sea routes were taking in close to 50g a turn. i was trying for a cultural win but hiawatha...

dang i just bought bnw (finally) a couple weeks ago on gamefly. they had it on sale for $9.99 and my friend sent me a link to some coupon site that had a 20% off coupon for gamefly. so i downloaded bnw and it cost me a cool $7.99

just did my first portugal game yesterday (won on first try yay!) and i really liked them. i benefitted from a pretty sweet starting location (my second city had 3 crab and 3 fish that i got to quick) and i went with the goddess of the sea. after awhile i was making stupid amounts of gold and...

my wife pronounces it ga-jah. i asked her brother and he said the same thing. her sister said it could be guy-yah or ga-jah so i don't know.

all this time i've been hoping and hoping and hoping for some changes to the ai. it's the one really obvious flaw in this game. but still nothing. why will a civ turn down my dof only to offer me on the next turn? why will someone who's been my friend for 2000 years renew the dof, ask me to join...

favorite has got to be boudicca because she never does anything and is generally a complete lump. denmark and polynesia are usually pretty ineffective too. most hated are definiely ghandi, alexander, hiawatha and attilla because no matter what i do they will always attack me. i'm starting to...

my wife is from indonesia and last time we went to visit we went to Majapahit which was pretty neat. so of course the first civ i played when i got brave new world was indonesia. quite fun i agree with some of your points though i think the game makers aren't really concerned with being totally...

i just started playing as brazil the other day and so far they're pretty fun. i've been trying out starting with other policies since i was getting a bit bored of doing the same basic starts alot. lost my first couple games one due to being caught between zulus and atilla and getting smashed and...

yeah i noticed that awhile back when a friend and i started a coop game and i saw boudica was near me. we talked about how she never seems to do anything ever. she'll build some cities and then just sorta languish making threats. i've never worried about her even when i play on higher difficulties.

i finally got bnw ($9.99 on gamefly and then 7.99 with coupon! woot!) and won my first game with indonesia last night. started a zulu game this morning and in my first couple tries got horrible starts and never could catch up. started another one this afternoon and am doing pretty well so far...

yeah i just won a game with indonesia (my wife is indonesian so i was showing her) and ended up on an island but surrounded with very little room to expand. luckily all 4 cities i built were powerhouses and i turned into a gold/culture machine. eventually won by getting voted world leader. good...

was doing a game last week and i was doing great trying for a domination victory. i'd taken out 4 civs and was upgrading my riflemen to great war infantry and i see a message "catherine has entered the atomic age" wtf?! she was way ahead of everone. even worse i'd just declared war on her and i...

i definitely seem to be doing something wrong late game. i keep getting passed up in tech. my spies don't seem to be doing such a great job of getting me older techs and i'll have to backtrack a bit while my main competitor goes right on ahead building his or her spaceship ;p in my game with...
