I wish. That would make the practice of law a lot simpler.

You must have a fluidized bed fetish. Sure you can apply civ to your job, albeit probably not as directly as some. In the most general sense, an empire in civ is a system. Your job is to get as much yield from that system as possible given the resources available to you, just like a plant or...

All. The. Time. :mad: You'd think I'd learn by now, but it somehow happens at least once a game when I'm giving him that second promotion out of the box. I then say really bad things about myself and stick him on garrison duty well away from any borders.

This is the key benefit to promoting MGs with Drill. Combine the higher likelihood of surviving a direct battle unharmed with the immunity to collateral, and you have a unit that can handle large stacks in relatively small numbers, given rough tech parity. Give them some kind of bonus, whether...

I see Tokugawa more as the tough kid from a poor home who keeps to himself except to bully his classmates. Basically Nelson Muntz from The Simpsons, but in high school. And before the writers girlied him up.

So GG generation in a team game works on the principle of individual point accrual toward a team-wide goal? Do GPs work the same way?

If you have a city so high in food output that this looks like an attractive option, I'd suggest revisiting it with workers or reconfiguring the workforce to shed some of that excess food for commerce and production. If you're in caste system, use that food to feed specialists.

Remember that you get double the XP and double the GG points if you're the attacker, so the best way to do it would be to have your stack smash the enemy's inside your borders before it can actually attack.

That's obsolete's city, not Joao's. The border around the city tile is hard to see, but it's there. If Joao never controlled Susa, I only see one Portuguese city, Guimaraes, that can put culture on the hill 7 of Susa, and that hill's in the outermost ring of Guimaraes, while being in ring 2...

Guys, I think you're missing his point. He doesn't want modern Turkey in the game alongside the Ottomans. He wants modern Turkey, the Ottomans and the other Turkic peoples and nations throughout history represented as one civilization: the Turks. As in the Ottomans, Seljuks, Uighurs, Kazakhs...

Is Darius your vassal? I'm too tired to crunch the possible numbers, but the first thing that occurs to me is that it's actually his culture winning out in the outer ring, with the result that you get the tiles by virtue of being the master. That's not as satisfactory an explanation for the...

Can you post a screenshot? It seems like, as nanomage said, the fort gave the island a trade outlet not blocked by the triremes, and if thst's the case it can easily be determined from a screenshot.

That would be fair to say. I know I don't admire current Egyptian culture any more due to the Pyramids.

Not quite. Consider the following setup (G = grassland, F = fort, C = coastal, including inland lakes): GGGGCC GGGFGG GCFGGG GGGFGG GGGGCC Here we have a three-tile canal enabled by the single-tile lake in line 3. By itself, the inland lake would be too far away to complete the...

I've found huge/epic to suit my preferences best. With a continents-type map, this virtually ensures that my game won't be over before the Renaissance.
