    Unusual tips!

    I'd say another way around, if you brake a promise you get big red hate (eg. promised to declare war but didn't)

    Dividing the spoils of war to mitigate warmonger penalty

    They kept the denouncements out. Only after I captured Moscow they came in flying, but I was 10 turns away from arty so no matter But, alas it works :D

    Dividing the spoils of war to mitigate warmonger penalty

    You get big green for luxury donation. And... my capitol was 10 tiles from Ulundi, and he forward settled me - so I had no choice (left Shaka with one city). I'm planning peaceful till arty and I hope this donations will keep away mass denouncements... Otherwise, well... crossbows FTW! :)

    Dividing the spoils of war to mitigate warmonger penalty

    I'm beginning to test this approach, eg. to donate luxuries and/or strategic resources that I have surplus as result of conquering cities (esp. early in the game). You get big green modifier You traded recently (that somewhat balances out the big red Warmonger) And it works, kinda :)...

    Byzantium Sacred Sites Culture Victory Guide (T170 pangaea all standard)

    Excellent Religion Combinations

    I really don't know, 100 seems nice :) Just try to count the turns and calculate the pressure on isolated city with only your pressure. If city has even population you have to get to 3,5 (of 6 pop) so last one would take a bit longer.

    Excellent Religion Combinations

    This is correct, but to spread even further, of course, you have to make more cities have majority, and here Texts shine. I had numerous occasions when even my own my cities would gain population faster then pressure would convert citizens and I'd had to stop growth to save on missionaries...

    Excellent Religion Combinations

    IMHO, both Texts and Preachers give +33% spread/strength, but with Printing Press Texts get extra +33%, so they are stronger. AI always spams cities in ICS style, so +33% strength is equal to +33% radius... (but 66% strength > 33% radius)

    Excellent Religion Combinations

    I've tried both and... Church Property gives more in start/mid game Tithe gives more in end game. As I need more money in start, when I'm weak, I always go for Church Property (snowball effect).

    After the Patch - Pillaging heals units - Thoughts?

    Initial deity rushes will be more deadly, but if you win, you can sell luxuries one more time :) Pyramids and Liberty got a buff there

    DoF expiration help

    Is there a way to determine when will my DoF with AI expire? I'm looking at F7 'messages' but it's hard to find anything there without a filter/search and I'm not sure if it is there anyway :( It's rather important to know how many turns one has to wait until denouncing/DoWing an AI for...
