I'm not so far ahead of you, Joey. I've won at Emperor 3 or 4 times. Nonetheless, I'm convinced that one must wage war a lot to win at Emperor. Recall what Ision says about this. I always lost until I came around to this view. Nowadays, I'm either at war or preparing for war. 90% of my...

Joey, do you win at Emperor without conquering, or do you only take cities after you're attacked? Either way, I'd be interested to know how you do it (or any of you out there). I've specialized in domination with Persia. Do you usually go for UN, culture win, spaceship? I think one needs...

Sysyphus, It is really quite easy. As soon as you meet another civ, trade as many techs with them as you can. Repeat for each civ you meet. Of course, you shouldn't wait for them to contact you. Click on the first AI unit you see. I used to keep my science slider at 10% to keep research...

I'm on the cusp of domination victory. Any turn now. Within three turns the only countries left will be the Persians (me) and the Chinese. We're about to end our 2nd MPP. When the 1st MPP began, my score and land were about twice China's. Japan and the Aztecs were far behind. Basically China...

I'm playing Japan, large map, at Emperor for about the fifth time. I have plenty of good land, and my neighbors are fighting each other. At some point, Germany came down to one pop 2 town, which happened to be along the coast right next to me. The land's not worth much, but Germany is six...

I see at least three main build strategies depending on the spot you're given. And a fourth, which I'm writing last but putting at the top. If your capitol is in the mountains, desert, or tundra all you can do is find the nearest available grassland for your 2nd city and start your major settler...

I had my best game ever last night, and my first domination victory (Persia, Regent). B.C, I managed to wipe out the Indians, Germans and Aztecs and took over the largest continent on the map by far. Shorty after I had fully established myself over the continent, the Zulu demanded tribute...

In my last game (persia, warlord), I had all the right techs but couldn't build Apollo or the SS. I noticed that my palace never got completely built, even in the 2000s when I was building future techs. Do you need to finish your palace before you can do certain things in Modern Times? I was...
