Well I believe unit production is much longer on Marathon. It's hard to say cuz I don't play anything but Marathon lol. I do know that if you start your capital on a hill it takes 15 turns to make your first scout, and 42 turns to make your first worker. Seems like that would be a long time on...

Wait you got the great library? Was it like 4th in your build order or something. I don't play deity much but EVEN on immortal that wonder gets built so fast..

Well against real players I like to go with a culture victory for three reasons. 1) It's the victory condition that give me the most satisfaction in game. I think that culture victories have a lot more intricacies than other victories/hardest to master. 2) It's the rarest of the victory...

I know this doesn't apply to everyone. But I play with 16 civs/32 states, and Sweden can get really OP. Playing the friend game and having 10/15 declarations of friendship.......

Would you believe my first Deity win was with Venice? I'll never forget it. Strategies was defense, trade routes, and....well.....that's it lol. They are quite good at diplomatic but that's really it. You could pull off domination I suppose. But 1 city science/culture victory? That's such a...

England will always be my favorite out of the ones here, especially as a continents player with large oceans. They lose a lot on Pangaea. Shoshone liberty builds are absolutely incredible, the negate the risks of Liberty to a large extent and their super scout can contribute to defense quite...

Ya but if the city is close I never really feel like an instant harbor is that great. I often start building my roads ahead of time anyway. Idk I never feel rushed with my workers as I usually build a decent amount of them. Same with gold in I feel the instant connection isn't that valuable. Idk...

Well Denmarks ability really doesn't help any particular strategy. So what is it they do then? They constantly leave your opponents civilizations covered in black smoke. Their all about slowing your enemies down rather than a buff to a particular win con. These strength's would seem less...

The great thing about this game is how you must always choose one good thing for another. Try to create a priority list for yourself based on your civ, what your doing at the time, and how you want to win. Right at the beginning you have 3 types of resources generally, food, production, and...

Sorry about that my post was more in response to a post saying that England was still among the best even without seas. Your post did extend upon that but not directly agreed with it. Really I shouldn't have quoted you rather than the other post. Also, I agreed Denmark is a much worse civ...

To add to the conversation, My personal two least favorite are Carthage and Austria. Carthage gets a free harbor for their coastal cities which could be good for long distance settlements but eh I don't think I'm ever pressed to make harbors, and I have never really used her mountainwalk ability...

I have to agree that just longbowman and an extra spy is very underwhelming if that's all the have. England really needs those seas.

Denmark seems to be lacking in terms of raw power, especially if your thinking only in terms of a domination victory. But he is so effective at just harassing and slowing your opponents down, which makes him so much fun in multiplayer and probably underwhelming against the computer. As Denmark I...

Keep in mind this was on marathon. So I have a lot more time with my individual units before my techs get researched. Of course policies do cost more on marathon to balance it out. Idk I don't think you can fill tradition out that fast on normal length, just not enough time. Regardless the...
