Gwajas game:

Solid advice above. No need for fishing until the 3rd city by the crab is due. First site on plains 3W1N to share rice and cottage FPs. Tech Agri-Wheel-Pottery to start, no need for early BW with this capital/start apart from barbdefense. This way you rex towards the enemy, blocking off land...

Oracle is not gonna be at a safe date for sure. The safe bet would probably have been going for AG-AH-TW-Pottery-BW-Masonry (or some such) and settle the red spot, doing failgold and aiming for Mids. Personally I'd take the gamble for Oracle, settle the blue spot, tech AG-BW-TW-Religous techs...

I am assuming Amsterdam is built on a hill. Citysquare only passes on irrigation when built on flat ground. Edit: If I read the screenshot properly it looks like you have no way of getting irrigation through to the north side of Amsterdam as you have hills blocking across the land there.

The tile costs 1 :food:, the :yuck: costs another food, since if you whip you wouldn't have any, thus 2 :food:. Each food translates (roughly) to 2 :hammers: if you whip with a granary and 1.75 is your hammer bonus currently. So yes, a size 11 would be better is what he is saying :) (Not...

I'm happy to see this write-up got another chapter as I have been waiting anxiously for it ! I never really abused the drafting mechanic like you display here, but the power of it is obscene and makes me wanna roll a new map asap :) Kinda funny that you have about 20 happiness available and...

Game has Espionage off, hence the double cost for all culture related things.

It's pronounced "Mu" in English but "My" in many other languages, like German, Swedish and Ancient Greek for instance :) Would also like to extend a big thank you to Seraiel for all the writeups. Although I can understand the tactical reasons for most of your decisions and try to learn from...

Sigh, why does this one always pop up in my head when reading Slavery discussions... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvD82i4Ixkk

I had the issue with pink bars and icons before I changed this setting: ; Custom Art from user folder is not loaded NoCustomArt = 0 Since you seem to have that one fixed I have no idea why the art doesn't load.

The client takes about 5-6 minutes to start with Gold and then the game itself takes about 2 minutes to launch in singleplayer. In multiplayer the game crashes after about 7-8 minutes of loading, usually with a runtime-error or XML-error. Our computers aren't state-of-the-art, but since we...

I have a MP problem I was hoping someone could have a solution for. Me and my friend have been playing Civ with BUG mod on a LAN for quite some time. When we read about CIV Gold we downloaded it asap to try it out. We had no issues getting our LAN game up and running, but after a while we...
