I haven't the foggiest. Is there an option to turn that on? -The Le

Just tried again -- sure enough, on single-city-challenge, Deity, with all the AI on my team except one, all my allies are getting DEMOLISHED by India. No, this isn't a joke. -The Le

Actually, the one opposing nation took out two of my allies, has the largest number of cities, and made a B-Line for my one lonely city. I've been on the defensive for over an hour now, and the opposing artillery keeps coming. My 3 rocket artillerys have taken out countless of AI, and there...

So I've been thinking of trying Deity mode -- single city mode challenge, 7 computers on the same team as me, and 1 opposing computer. Would this make it easier to win, or are the odds still heavily against me? -The Le

One of the best locations I see is next to a river on top of WHEAT. Is there a downside to building on top of a resource? -The Le

Thanks for all the tips! I finally won a game on PRINCE level after a dozen failures. For this game I completely changed how I spent my money -- this time I put it towards City/States to keep friendship up (or become allies during wartime). This helped tremendously. I also purchased...

I just won my first Prince Game, after about 8 losses! I took all your advices and changed things up a bit. I played Rome and didn't create any units at all -- but once I researched Ballistas, I cracnked them out and stuck them in each city, with 2 extra in at my capital. Since the Capital is...

OMG... I've never noticed that rectangle before.... EVER... Thank you! -The Le

In my cities, I have a garrisoned Rocket Artillery, and I also put some nukes to sleep, fighters on patrol, and bombers in sleep. However, the only one I can see is the Rocket Artillery. How do I activate my nuke and/or bombers? Thanks, -The Le

I know that rivers offer big bonuses for new cities, but under what circumstances should I build a city that is NOT on a river? -The Le

I am very familiar with the Civ series, but I haven't quite figured out Civ V yet. For the life of me I just can't win on Prince mode (but I've won on all the easier ones). I try to be peaceful, but it's just not working at all. -The Le

In the early game, I find myself buying Settlers. I get the feeling this has been causing all the mass declarations of war against me, so I'm looking to do something else with my gold. So, in the early game, if I'm not spending money on Settlers, what should I be spending it on? -The Le

I plead the fifth. -The Le

I cannot win on Prince for the life of me. Once I get my 4-5 cities established, the AI declares war on me. I have walls and one melee unit stationed, but I cannot stop the 5-7 unit that rush me - I'm constantly losing 2+ cities by the time things are done. What kind of defense do I need to...

Umm... what is SP?
