From what I've seen, it's better. But doesn't the lag time also depend on your computer's specs as well?

Follow your own instincts. Makes things a lot more interesting and I think you will develop into a better player faster. Also, if you want to get advice, these forums have no shortage of great players will to help! :goodjob:

I guess I'm a control freak. I like being able to control the production. I annex the cities after I've saved up enough to buy a courthouse for them. Of course I'm not much of a warmonger so the amount of cities I actually take over is fairly small.

I'm often very impressed by some players' posts regarding the level of detail they have gotten out of the game (breaking down the most minor details about running an economy, etc.) I'm not that detailed level of player. Maybe if I had mastered the game and fully figured out every aspect of it to...

In my experience, once you start knocking over city-states the AI gets unfriendly very quickly. You just have to accept that as part of the game, especially if (as in your case) you need that city-state for strategic and/or resource reasons. Just keep your military up to a reasonable level...

I've only played a few games with the new patch installed. I've found that being denounced has normally occured due to any of these factors (or a combo of them): 1) leading in score 2) declared war on another Civ and wiped them out 3) If you're on a small continent and all the good useful...

I have that all the time on the continents map. Its a big reason why I play on the fractal maps a lot. The fractal maps seem to be more balanced: very rarely does one civ dominate a huge swath of land. The only solution I've found when one civ is dominating the other continent is to go for a...

I was playing Prince. I've been alternating back and forth between that and King while trying to learn how to balance happiness, science, social policies, etc.

I saw a little of this last night in a game I was playing as Mongols. There was a very narrow land bridge separating my land from Persia's. When Persia declared war, they brought up destroyers on both sides of the land bridge to protect the infantry that was making it's way across. From that...

I have a laptop computer. I unplug it and put it somewhere safe when I'm at work, as our two cats and one pug have a bad habit of crashing into it if I'm not around. So I don't leave it plugged in when I'm at work. But I didn't know the patch was coming out today anway. I thought we had a week...

Guess I should drink some caffeine when I get home tonight. From some of the posts so far, it looks like I will be up for a while trying to download the patch. :eek:

I just beeline for their capital as fast as possible. Smartens them up real quick. :)

It's not just the oceans either. Last game, Persia attacked my easternmost city, which has a small lake one hex away. For some odd reason, a Persian catapault decided to turn into a boat and try to cross the lake. I surrounded the lake with soldiers, who I assume stood on the shores of the lake...

That's really cool. Thanks for posting it.

Has anyone noticed if the AI won't settle near you if you have a strong military? Just curious. Maybe if they think you are a wimp they aren't worried about settling near you?
