Thanks vmxa I realy do appreciate your time and effort into helping me. My present game is on hold but Ill be going again soon. As a side note did you adjust corruption because of the size of map? Would the lowering of corruption be a long term gain but a short term loss vs the AI?

I was useing a max size map (360?/360?) and doubled movement for units. Do I need to make the spacing between civs much bigger? I hadnt increased costs at all but the ship movement which IMHO is way to Short to beign with was doubled up. Im now thinking about tripling the ship movement. I...

I recently upgraded my system and Im now able to play huge Pangea maps with up to 32 nations. I realised that playing that many nations can be difficult so I went down from Monarch to Regent and have now started several games but find myself as much as an entire era behind in tech and the AI...

NEVER Play Chieftan level: It creates bad habits and in many cases makes it harder to play because of the lack of research of AIs. 2 workers per city Build cities as fast as possible. Avoid buildings untill you have as many cities as possible. IMHO the 1st building you should build...

I have simply decided to destroy or eliminate the player or spending 50% on lux from war weariness (IMHO once you are in 60% WW other nations are outresearching you and leaving you behind). To perform warfare in a Rep govt demands proper planning and despersition of recources. Often times...

1. I alwasy go for the Republic slingshot. You should research to code of Laws and then do philosophy. If you reach philosophy 1st you get a free tech and that free tech is Rep. Change your govt ASAP. That increase in science from govt change will vault you forward. 2. Dont research all...

Theodora always seems to be happy to make friends to keep the barbarians at bay.

Roads, roads and more roads followed by railroads. I have never had a problem waging wars in Rep and having a large army is not a problem as long as you use it. You should always gain enough cities and increase your pop enough to cover the maint. If your military costs you 100 gold in...

I would only enter a MPP a turn or 2 before going to war. be observant and watch and you will be abl eto predict when a nation is about to attack you. When you see that stack of 10 (insert unit) on your border its not a vacation. Use the MPP to bring others into your war not let it bring...

Lately I have been very successfull with the Dutch. I play Pangea maps mostly and the seafaring helps you by putting you on the coast and thus you only can expand towards the center and down the coast. The Arg trait is essential in Conquest. For new players I would suggest maybe check...

Found Civ3 and conquests together on ebay for 1.99 and bought it. Best $5 I ever spent.

I purchased C3C on ebay for $2.99 2 yrs ago.

2 ways to speed up your games useing workers 1. shift+D : Automates worker to clean all polution 2. Shift+w: Automates worker to clear jungle Once you automate a worker this way he will not have to be used untill all polution or jungle is cleared. When building units just use the...

This is my biggest gripe about this site: 1. If you dont play excatly how Waken does it your doing it wrong. 2. If you dont use Diety levl strategy than you cant win on Regent 3. If you dont play Diety level you arent a good player 4. If your not a Warmonger you arent playing right...

1. Stop playing Chieftan: With Chieftan you will build alot of bad habits. 2. To produce money you need A. roads/train tracks B. marketplaces C. Banks 3. To produce science you need A. Librarys B. Universities...
