Well it revealed that the Doctor has a "dark side" but that has been known for a while. I mean he shows favoritism to his humans meanwhile some of his actions has resulted in the deaths of entire species and what not. lol

Having many citizens working 2 food 1 hammer tiles in large cities is largely inefficient not to mention costly in terms of city upkeep. Calender is a must, the happiness resources and the extra commerce is needed. Leaving those resources unimproved for too long is not ideal. The commerce of...

It depends on your start 600 CE or 3000 BCE. But some things apply to both, get to calender so you can build plantations as not only do they provide happiness allowing for a larger cities, but also act as extra commerce. (Silk on river tiles yields like 6 commerce.) Markets allow for even...

The renault was the first tank design with a turret. Pretty much all tanks designed afterward deployed a rotating turret. M4 Sherman tanks were not designed as a main battle tank like the modern abram or the patton tank. the sherman tanks were designed for infantry support and a design that...

I find there are more situations where caste system is more beneficial. However there are times where serfdom can be useful and those times are increased when playing as a leader with spiritual traits allowing for the obvious quick civic change.

yeah I thought the only 'bad' side effects from it include lower potassium levels which can result in decrease muscle mass and in extreme cases paralysis. But this is from 'heavy' consumption as this was associated with people drinking like 2-9 liters a day.

In the past year there has been probably like 10 homicide related deaths in a square mile radius from my house. A cop involved in a shoot out was killed just like two weeks ago a couple of blocks from my sisters high school. Personally I dont know someone who has been directly murdered...

It is funny to see how suddenly Kyle Orton is considered a starter quarterback. And apparently some news reporters find that kyle orton is even remotely comparable with cutler. I cant take any one seriously when they talk about the win record as that is the deciding factor in determining how...

the thing is that they curassier are considered gunpowder units and arent affected by wallas and castle defenses. I think this was said just a couple of days ago.

It is amusing to see the prevalence wikipedia has in online forums. In this thread there are 3 links to the same wikipedia article about cold reading. This all in the first 18 posts.:lol: On topic.... This tarot card reading is explained by this..:D...

Wow I concluded the same and eventually became more interested in the 19th century. My interest in history, politics, and sociology was first ignited through my early years high school interest in military. (Wars, tactics, immediate effects of the war etc..) I digress, currently I am...

I think Europa Barbarorum plays out much better than Rome Total Realism. lol Yes the management system is poor in like all the total war games. They cover only a certain time period and are effectively a scenario versus the long spanning scope of civilization 4. I go back in forth between...

A Great General settling in a city allows two promos out of that city (with barracks) without the use of civics. I find that very useful in my games, but to each there own.

I tire of looking for changes in the map. I always play marathon/huge maps and looking was always very time consuming lol. Especially when you have so many cities some time late in the game.

there is probably an extensive guide in the war academy. ( i think that's what it is called) however you will gain increase commerce as foreign routes are more lucrative. Buildings like a harbor increases the amount of commerce gained. Trade routes to another continent generate even more...
