why did I waste my time reading this article, no less now I am even responding too it. If your goal is to win a conquest so early in the game, why are you playing this game in the first place? I fail to see the point or the fun of what you have written here. As far as strategies are concerned...

My last game I played I decided to try for a cultural victory. In my attempt to acheive this I made sure that I was never at war very long because of the hit it makes on your culture. At any rate when i realized I would not be getting my cultural win I went for the diplomatic victory. Several...

Generally i don't think about granaries early unless one or two things occur in my cities. If i can found a city near a river tile and it is going to be one of my core/wonder producing cities, i like the granary for the population boost so i can hurry the production of what i am building, the...

I was just browsing through the forums here when i seen the picture of your mod pack and think it looks excellent. I went ahead and downloaded it, but i am not sure where i should unzip the files too. Does it act as a scenerio with different graphics or will it change the look of every game i...

Well, I have been playing about a month and a half as well and i have a hell of a rant to pick. This game is starting to become a complete waste of time. Those people that do play on the higher difficulty levels, how the hell are you doing it? Do you just restart the game if you get a crappy...

I am starting to get really frustrated with this game. Don't get me wrong, I think it is quite fun to play but some of the features really are starting to annoy me. I played one finished game on warlord difficulty and had fun though at the end I kind of ran away with it. So I switched up to...

It's not so dumb to starve out and move cities. In my current game I had an Egyptian settler unit moving into one of my last good spots that I had not envoloped by my culture yet and my settler was about two turns behind him in reaching the prime location or so it was (tip of a penninsula that...

Not a seasoned war veteran here myself, but I would agree that you should be cranking out those units instead of wealth, especially if you have known they have been eyeing you up for a while. With that mountain range of defense it would depend on your units tech levels, but I would suggest to...

I agree that coal plants are a waste of time. I think that they cause way to much pollution and from what I have noticed this game does have much more pollution then my previous Civ II games. It is a more efficient use of workers strategies too lay the railroad tracks to boost the production...

Well thanks a lot for all the feedback people it has helped somewhat. In my current game I did manage to get the Nationalization advance and I found the draft citizen button. I was a bit disapointed to find that the drafted citizens were conscripted infantry units with only two hit points. I...

In the gaming manual it says that you can draft some of your cities populations for making your armies. I can see how its done in either Despotism or Communism, but how do I draft units under the other forms of government? I have fought a few wars where drafting my citizens could have been a...

Well so far things are not going very well for my Chinamen at all. I thought that i was off to a good start when I met the Japanese and took two cities from them, but then i met the Persians and their immortals are kicking my butt. I am not sure if it is the rotten starting position for...
