If you can post a saved game, it may be easier to comment and talk about it and we can play a few turns.(usually I end up playing a hundered :lol: ) Thanks.

What does AI consider a backstab? a: You attack any civ that has friendly/neutral realtion with you b: You attack to a civ that has declared friendship for you (DoF mutual or solo) In my recent game attacking Rome soured all my future relationships and I could not even get a single RA...

This guilde by snarz is probably a little outdated now with 2 different patches. Assuming you are playing the latest patch try it on random civ, standard size pangae or continent type map. The experience will be way different.

In my last game (standard size pangae standard speed immortal) my neighbour was Monty. As it happens he attacked pretty early but thanks to my upgraded scout/archer, I was able to defend myself. Then I decided to leave him for last. He is not a tech whore, he is a warmonger and does not ally...

I think posting a saved game, rather than trying to explain and getting bombarded by questions is better. If you can send a saved game I will also take a look and try to help.

In Immortal/Deity standard size game play, early hammers are extremely important. So I go for a GE and set up manufactory. Once you get workshop/forge going they start multiplying. Since I will be going mainly for steel-gunpowder route, the manufactory becomes more and more valuable. For me...

Pangae Plus maps have the City States in the fringe areas of the map. Out of the supposed 16 CS in a pangae plus standard size map, I was able to discover maybe 2-3 by turn 100-150. In a standard size pangae that number would be double or triple i.e. at least 6 to 8 CS.

I think we should discern between standard or bigger size games and duel(2 civ I guess never done it) and small size maps. The experiences of games such as Duel,quick,tiny,islands,deity against a Standard size, pangae, deity , standard speed game will be much much different. In fact in...

Send your settler to that 7 tile away beautiful ZOMG 3xgems hill+river location without any escort. Give breathing space between cities so that a previosly beaten 1 city Civ can come and settle 1 pop city later in the game on the main trade highway between your capital and the rest of your...

Been trying same with Darius immortals. Their double healing rate is amazing. Put a medic around them and they heal by 4 HP/turn when not fighting. Imagine 6 rifle units with this promotion + golden age bonus (+1 move and %10 combat) As there will be an abundance of great generals in the long...

Deau, I have been reading your deity tactics extensively. I struggle exactly on the same spot as you do, meaning after a good opening start with 1 city with NC+HE and, slingshotting to steel or gunpowder, I can usually clear one or two opponents. But by the time I reach to 3rd or 4th, they...

I think building Chariot Archers then upgrading to Keshik is the key to the sizeable army that Deau (and me) was struggling to build. I believe as per snarz's previous CKN strategy, 4 keshiks + a medic horseman can take one or 2 cities, during which time you should build-up your army by...

Started 7-8 Immortal games,(standard size, normal speed) ended up losing 3 of them right at the start (warrior rush by Monty,Cathy and Isa in different games). Usual 1 city NC start ends up being attacked if you have a close civ. Starting with something defensive such as Nebu with archery...

Rammy was on the other end of the map. By the time I explored the map, he was already that big. I expected Isabella can slow him a little but no. She played one of teh worst games ever. I will give try and see. If not rinse an repeat. New game I mean

I played Kamex's immortal game. Washington has the Stonehenge (+8 culture). Even with current units you can easily overpower America. I added a few musketman and trebuchet for good measure. All the rest are on different continents. I don't think any of them can muster any invasion. You got 200...
