Thanks for the tips vmxa. I took the island to get the iron. I started to get behind on the techs when I had to drop research to 10 for dozens of turns because so much was being spent on the luxury slider. As for city placement. In the core I was going for 2 tiles between cities. When I took...

I was building Galleys to try to take on the Iroquois or the Romans and Greeks. I was trying to plan a head to build Galley's to land troops. Cologne and New Augustodurum I just started building up because they looked to have decent production and little corruption. I guess they were close...

I have been in 3-4 wars in Republic as took over the continent. I shared it with the Germans and then other nations started to land colonies. The war with the German's was long, but the other wars short. The Russians are my current threat and way ahead ( a whole era) and tehy have $5,000+. I...

I hadn't played for awhile and jumped into an Emperor game. Seemed like I was doing pretty good, but as I was capturing my content the other civs ran away in tech and strength. I had to have my luxury slider at 50% to keep all towns from burning. Save attached for tips and suggestions on future...

I am going to try for domination. I won Domination on Emperor with Maya, standard map 60% continents, and I won a space race with Greece, but both were in the mid 3000s for score. I think I need to try taking out neighbor civs earlier. If I try your suggestion of closer city spacing, that could...

Ok, just won diplomatic victory with Byzantine. I stayed with warriors and was lucky I was on my own island. There were only 3 civs left, I was about to lose to India. They had a culture of 93000 to my 40000, so I gifted some luxuries to America right before UN being built. It was my highest...

Instead of writing I tried to go for horseback riding so that I could build up a MW stack. As I went a long I discovered I had no horses. After three similar games of 3-5 AI civs declaring when I couldn't pony up the extortion costs, I thought I would try to be ready to attack them. After...

So, after being 4-1 in Emperor games (lost one early when out scouting and the Incas captured my capital after a few turns grrr) I now get clobbered every time. I won 1 by space race, 2 by domination, 1 by conquest, and one by diplomatic. I have started 5 new games (standard, 60% water...

repost, blind, found my own answer. carry on.

I can have both, I assume save game is best. I have nowhere to host it, though.

No matter what I do the game freezes at 650 BC. I have patch 1.22. I finally have a good game going being new and this happens. Everybody stops moving and the game stops responding. It is frustrating. Any ideas? Win2k AMD XP 1700+ ECS K75A 512 PC133 ATI Radeon 8500 SB Live 5.1...
