That would be like saying Ghengis Khan or Alexander are the best Civs for science because they can eliminate all other Civs sans one single small city and gurantee themselves a science victory.

Mapuche exists in game just to screw over the human player that is doing well. It's almost a given they will be in game a near my capital when I play Mali.

15. Greece - Acropolis 26 [29] So disappointed I got home to late to be the one to eliminate the Seowon that should have been eliminated last week. 38. Russia - Lavra [15] KRUSSIA!

I name them after the greatest Canadian band ever April Wine, but based on my luck with the random number generator I should be naming them Tragically Hip.

14. Germany - Hansa [14] 15. Greece - Acropolis [35] 20. Indonesia - Kampung [8] 24. Korea - Seowon 11 [14] It blows chunks. Regular campuses are usually better. It's all Korea has going for it, but it falls short of making Korea any better than the average Civ. Building a Civ though Campuses...

My point is with Pingala you should get enough culture to be able to build an ancestral hall by the time you would otherwise be sitting there with a rank 2 Magnus if you went Magnus first. I might lose a second population for my second settler this way, but that is worth it to have a an upgraded...

Since I can't answer in the elimination thread I will post this here. Pingala first and then promoted to give +1 culture per population +the bonus % Pingala gives should result in enough culture to get one to the first real government well before the end of the ancient age and enables the...

14. Germany - Hansa [19] 15. Greece - Acropolis [34] 20. Indonesia - Kampung [27] 24. Korea - Seowon [16] (19 - 3) Concentrating on tech early with these is tantamount to sprinting a marathon. You will be ahead for only a short time and you won't be able to afford to build much of what you...

8. Cree - Mekewap [2] 14. Germany - Hansa [25] 15. Greece - Acropolis [35] 18. Inca - Terrace Farm [14] 20. Indonesia - Kampung [23] 24. Korea - Seowon 20 [23] it's not even top 20 let alone top 3. It's not guaranteed +4 and it usually ends up +2 in your best cities. It's vastly over-rated. 26...

3. Australia - Outback Station [21] 8. Cree - Mekewap [9] 11. England - Royal Navy Dockyard [16] 14. Germany - Hansa [26] 15. Greece - Acropolis [37] 18. Inca - Terrace Farm [27] 20. Indonesia - Kampung [28] 24. Korea - Seowon 21 [24-3]culture blows research out of the water early on. Korea is...

2. Arabia - Madrasa [9] 3. Australia - Outback Station [21] 8. Cree - Mekewap 15 [18-3] just to make sure about the mighty mekewap I played a couple games as Cree....MEEKwap is a more appropriate spelling. 11. England - Royal Navy Dockyard j18 [17+1] so nice on paper, but with the way the...

2. Arabia - Madrasa [17] 3. Australia - Outback Station [24] 8. Cree - Mekewap [17] 10. Egypt - Sphinx [5] 11. England - Royal Navy Dockyard [17] 14. Germany - Hansa [23] 15. Greece - Acropolis [30] 18. Inca - Terrace Farm [27] 20. Indonesia - Kampung [27] 22. Khmer - Prasat [12] 24. Korea -...

I'm just saying volcanic soil shouldn't change what can be built since the said 2 improvements do not say anything about volcanic soil.
