    Will I get workers when I raze or not?

    @twonky: yes I decide to raze the moment I conquer the city, I know abandoning won't give me slaves. @corwin: The last city razed that did not give me workers was all native born Zulus. OTOH most of the cities that do give me slaves are also 100% native so that does not seem to be the (only)...

    Will I get workers when I raze or not?

    It happenes every game - I decide to raze a city or a metro because I need the 3-4-5 'slaves' for which no maintenance is necessary. The number is something like the pop devided by 2 rounded down (BTW what is the exact formula?) However I may also raze a city say size 7 and not get a single...

    OK, I got VERY lucky; now what?

    DEITY, Tiny, Archipelago, Byz, Accelerated production. The Opponents are Iroquois, India, England. With my very first tech (Writing) I popped a SGL! yiipee! The question is which wonder to build with it. In other Byz Games, Lighthouse is a very high priority, but its a bit of a waste (300...

    C3C - Medieval conquest: Cannot build Harbors!

    I tried the medieval conquest with the Byzantines and I cannot build Harbors. They require Seamanship and this tech is not available to Byz. This a major developers oversight. I have some harbors (i.e. in the capital) but I cannot build them ever? I cannot get the extra food from coastal squares...

    They have Flight and I don't

    Thanks guys for the response. I agree I'll have to bring the war to their continent but every time I put troops exposed he bombs them to death. I've read that AI is very unlikely to attack armies; is that also true about bombing them. BTW Twonky, you said his bombers will target my...

    Why fast units do not always retreat?

    It has happened numerous times to me. For example a Knight attacks a Musketman and gets to 1 hp while the Musketman is not even scratched. Knight should retreat right? Well sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. Are there factors that affect when fast units retreat or RNG decides when a fast...

    They have Flight and I don't

    Hello everybody! I need some expert advice. Tiny- Demigod- Continents. Only me (Americans) and Iroqouis left - both at exactly 50% land and pop and sole master of our continents. I've got to Rep Parts Electronics and Corporation, I'm in Communism and I have Hoover Dam and both Forbidden Palace...
