Wow, it seems like everybody else is having trouble with the Russians, but I guess I got lucky. Having found the French right away (as there was only one way to explore), I quickly sent two warriors and captured Paris before they could found Orleans. They respawned in the eastern part of the...

Yes, even with 1.16, the AI would often send spearmen and pikemen into my territory to cut up roads. They cut up any roads they see, giving priority to resources. They don't take it to the extreme, but they are a threat.

When sending out the force you have mentioned, I don't see the point of including 3 Spearmen in the attack group. They're fine for defense, but wouldn't 3 more Swordsmen be more effective? Including a settler in the attack group is a great idea which never occured to me before. It could make...

The British are a bit difficult, but they're one of my favorite civs: Yes, the UU is completely worthless, but the starting techs mean that you'll probably be first to Map Making, which means fast expansion, a key element of the game. Also, like Egypt, the British Golden Age can be triggered...

Personally I think that the land mines should become available with Replacable Parts and after Electronics, opponents can detect them if they're in a certain range of a city with Barracks, or within range of a Battleship or AEGIS cruiser. This might be hard to program, but would be very...

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that Veteran units are actually better in combat than elite units. The "real-world" explanation for this was that elite units become cocky, overconfident and spoiled. So it makes sense to keep the Veterans on the front lines rather than elites. The...

Wishlist: If you have a big army but don't use it and have a low approval rating, there should be a military coup, and your government goes into anarchy. Likewise, there should be riots and such if you don't play peacefully enough. Also, a kind of helicopter that has a decent attack...

Oops, sorry! *is stupid* Still can't tell the difference between Spanish and Italian. Don't watch too many Afghan war reports. I'm not a big fan of the whole "war" thing. (In Civ 3 it's fine - Real People aren't dying.)

It took people a very long time to complete GOTM 2 and that was just large. Huge would not make peeps happy.

The ability to make requests of the AI would be great. "Please build a harbor in [City]. "Please stop attacking [Civ]. You should also be able to make Ultimatums. "Stop slaughtering the ethnic Albanians!" "Remove your nuclear weapons from Cuba!" Also, you should be able to...

Just finished my game. Diplomatic Victory in 2015 A.D. Score: 2305. Too bad I can't submit. Ripley, I'll get you my 30 A.D. save as soon as I can. The computer I'm on doesn't have ZipMagic. It was a very (technologically) slow game. I was #1 in tech, but I discovered Nuclear Power in...

Ah, well I already deleted that file and restarted the game. In my new game I'm at about 1800 A.D. So it looks like I'm playing for fun this month :)

GOTM3 is Regent. (Prince)

Just one quick question: If I started the game, then realized that I had played too far without saving, so no 1 A.D. save, then would it be ok to restart from the beginning. I was wondering because that happened to me: I played to about 300 A.D. and forgot to save. So I started a new game...

Prometeus En ingles, "platano" es "banana." simpelemente para tu informacion. (Hope that was okay, I've only had Spanish one sememster)
