I take a 2 stage approach. I attack. In order: raze, sell, puppet, or annex. Then I pump happiness. I think puppeting vs annexing is also generally misunderstood. Puppeting is good short term, but Annexing is the long term solution. Puppets have a gold focus and won't build happiness...

Thanks guys, it hadn't caused me any game breaking bugs yet, but it was getting really annoying. :king:

479, so ashamed of my lack of commitment.

I'm digging Neuschwanstein, but I also like it because I've actually been there. It was crazy awesome, too bad the guy who built it was a loony.

Whales killed my sister. I say wipe'em out.

I had a 88 pop with ghandi, but people have shown you can grow cities over 100 pop. I saw a screenshot on here with something like 140. here is the thread http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=389034&highlight=largest+population+city&page=2

Thank you for the ideas Petiscator. I'm going to start a practice game tonight. Yes, we are going to disable other conditions hobbsyoyo. We usually finish games in the 300s but we wanted to have a late game strategic battles since we never really get to the modern weapons. So we decided on...

I usually am sucked in for 2 hours minimum. I've had a few 8 hour sessions, but I take breaks about every hour to walk around or do a quick chore.

I played a game with Alex. I took some turns to get religion off the ground and the intial gold investment to get them allied with me. After that the CS quest you fulfill just playing kept me allied with all of them permanently, I think I maybe had to give out gold 3 or 4 times with 16 cs's. I...

Same thing happened to me on my first game of GK. Now I know better, haha.

My current game could use canals, before I could get a good handle on the land around me I settled 2 cities and found out they were both on the shore of a huge lake, not the actual ocean :mad: There was a spot where there was one tile between the ocean and the lake, so I was eventually able to...
