I'm making the same jump. I'm Washington (random leader, fractal map). I wiped out Justinian with a nice axe rush, and just finished off Vicky with Rifles. I have 12-14 cities, the Buddhist holy city and am in 3rd place on the scoreboard and in tech. Ghandi is a vassal of Qin (I sure do hope he...

Yes, and it might have been. But the victory screen still has parts listed for the Dutch.

I'm playing BtS and this is actually the first time I've encountered this situation. I'm woefully behind in the space race to the Dutch. So I invaded them, and pillaged Amsterdam. To my surprise their spaceship seems to have survived, at least according to the victory conditions screen. My navy...

Louis is my nemesis. I always am friendly with him and he techs well, then invades me. Now whenever I see him I immediately declare war.

Agreed, I try an axe/sword rush and I never seem to have enough guys. I can maybe snag one city and I'm forced to stop because I'm depleted. Then it ends up in centuries of stalemates. Working on a better early military rush.

I will say on Vanilla Civ IV I could kill on noble every single time. BtS has humbled me quite a bit. Early wars are more difficult and expansion is brutally tough. I can usually only get to 4 cities, then end up in a stale mate war while everyone else is out taking over the world. Espionage...

Usually I go with Oxford since it's my primary science city and National Epic for the double GPP points. However if I have a shrine or two I go with Wall Street and National and put Oxford elsewhere

Would it cancel it with everyone or just the civ I declared war on?

I'm gonna try when I get home, but I figured I'd see if anyone encountered it. I feel like stirring the pot and a world war where I'm the most advanced will only help me advance further.

An interesting scenario has presented itself to me. I am the Carthaginians and was asked by Babylon to declare war on Egypt. I did so. As I was on the doorstep to Thebes she agreed to be a vassal of Babylon. Now, the palace has declared that all brothers of the faith have a defensive pact with...

Sure does, enjoy that. I hate the palace

Gotchya, thanks, that clears up some confusion I had.

The only game I've played it was 2020 and it said 79 more turns left. Am I under the impression that game now end in 2100? And not 2050?

I snagged it for $15 =)

Yeah pretty much, had the artist ready to go for Chichen Itza, ended up not getting it and couldn't even whip up some defense and lost the city 2 turns later. Man was I pissed.
