I finished 1990BC. I did the same research as DaveMcW, but I didn't get a SGL. I got The Wheel, a skilled warrior and a city by the incense from huts. I built 2 workers, 1 scout, 1 spear, 7 curraghs and 5 galleys. The most difficult in this game was to keep the count of the VP locations...

I am quite sure that the MPP will not trigger until you attack a unit or pillage in their territory, for units in their territory it will trigger in the IBT. I also think that it will be impossible to get Korea to agree to an MA against its MPP partner. The only way to break the MPP is the one...

lurkers comment: Your trading reputation is destroyed. This happened 840AD when Babylon captured Pi-Ramesses. Since you both where at war with Hammi, your delivery of iron to Cleopatra where cut off. If you fail to deliver a resource or a luxery due to a broken trade route, your rep will be...

ts64 COTM17 open C3C1.22 NoAIpatrol=0 goal: military victory I enter middle ages 430BC. I have started to build warriors for upgrade to GS when I connect iron. I hope to take care of my neighbors using gallics and slowly research to Navigation so I can reach the other continent. By this...

About the NoAIPatrol=0, information can be found in this thread, there is even a utility you can download, that does it for you. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=100704 As already have been said, you have to be careful before using the renegotiate option, specifically move...

First of all, I agree with previous post by Tone and wmxa. I however have a few specific tips that might do good. 1. I think that the placement of the American troops suggests that you are not using the NoAIPatrol=0 fix. If you are not using this the AI often ends up with fortified troops...

This is wrong, at least in C3C, I'm not sure about PTW or vanilla . If you abandon your FP city, you are allowed to build a new FP in a city of your choice. Of course you still need to have enough cities to build it. I think this applies to all small wonders.

ts64 COTM17 open C3C1.22 NoAIpatrol=0 goal: military victory Opening I moved the worker to the wine and decided to settle in place. For this game I calculated different opening strategies and decided to do a gamble with a granary first. It was ready 3050BC, two turns before growth to...

To answer some of Shumble's and Ironknight's questions: First of all, I am convinced that my result's in this game will not be anywhere near the fastest finisher's for conquest victory. But besides that, I am quite satisfied with my results, even if I am sure that there are plenty of room for...

ts64 GOTM47 open PTW1.27f Since my plan is to conquer the world and I like cavs, I beeline to MT and stop research after this. I have Berlin on settler production until 190BC, all towns that are not in the first ring are building workers that I join to my eight first ring citys when their...

ts64 GOTM47 open PTW1.27f I send worker W to bring water to the cow and settler SW. Settle Berlin and start a warrior, research pottery at max. After the warrior I build a second worker then start barracks as prebuild for granary. Next research is alphabet at max. Berlin builds it's granary...

I liked this quick-game, although for me it wasn't very quick. I spent over 20 hours on it. Many trades, citys and workers to manage and many barb ships to enslave with MoW's. :D At first I had an overlook and saw that I needed more workers, so I changed most of the settler builds to...

Congratulations to UB40 for a very good win. I did not write spoiler for this one, but I guess my game was similar to the others, land main force in the north and a smaller force in the south. I however had a "fun" experience when an Ottoman city flipped to a "settler in a boat"...

You captured a bunch of X-man's citys, I bet he was in a pop-rush government and had used the whip a lot. When you abondon a city with such unhappiness it transfers to your nearest city. So you have all the whip inhappiness from the abandoned cities in Termoplye, if you abandon that it will move...

Good game and a nice write up. Be careful about abandon your city that got all of X-man's oppression, or you will end up having to starve Athens or Delphi too.
