Spiritual combined with protective is very good for drafting, not quite as good as spi/agg Monty. Any leader is ok if the map treats him well but regardless of your preferred strategy, there's probably somebody better at it than Sal.
Playing as Arabia in a PBEM, making the most of drafting...
Mother of god. I wish I had googled earlier. Just tossed a years worth of PBEM game down the toilet.
Entire army poised on transports in a canal city ready to strike at my enemies capital and put final victory in sight... now no army or navy.
Losses (including unembarked but marginally...
I play civ on my laptop, often while travelling with work when an internet connection is hard to come by. The latest patch's "freeing" of civ was a massive boon to me, hopefully new game will be just as enlightened but honestly I expect it will be Steam/registration jobby like Empire: Total War
I'm not using BUG.
In my last game I was at war with the Portuguese and they were vassalised by the Ottomans. I reloaded the game and demanded the Ottomans map the turn before. Lo and behold, they do not now vassalise the Portuguese. I overwrote the save game unfortunately but its only a...
For the record:
Swap deals don't work, they don't trigger a peace treaty. It has to be completely one sided.
I've tested by demanding 1 gold from Isabella in my last game, who was actually about 20-25% more powerful according to demographics and "annoyed" at me too but she acceded to my...
Thanks for that Dan, I hadn't realised the leaders were different in terms their reactions, I thought they had simply variable aggression build/tech priorities.
As I said it works up to and including Emperor (challenging enough for me, thanks ;)), I can't speak for higher.
I'm not sure how much of an effect game speed has either, I usually play at Epic and find the AI will at least talk to you once they've lost a few cities regardless of how much...
One of those predictable ":mad: Not Now! :rolleyes:" moments in any warmongering game of BTS is the point at which your almost vanquished foe bows down to some more powerful neighbour, dragging them into the war. Depending on the power ratios, this could be water off a ducks back, you might...
since memory is so cheap, I just ordered 4gb of it for less than the price of the game, maybe it'll help with civ and if not, maybe it'll help with something else!
Seems to be multiple factors causing the same problem. While some people appear to have solved their woes with more mem, I have friends with less mem than me who've never heard of this problem.
I'm still dogged by it on my laptop, all I can do is turn the graphics to zero and hope to finish the...
Good thread, so often these naval threads deteriorate into flame wars between the no-navy-needed-because-I-pwn-everybody-in-the-first-fifty-turns brigade and the I-play-for-fun-so-don't-need-to-justify-the-cost/benefit-of-any-decision-to-you brigade.
I agree with some of the posters that the...
