Too bad about MOO III....that game tanked the franchise.

Pure Capitalism: Except for common goods such as roads, police, fire-departments, and national defense, markets (supply and demand) determine the cost of said products and services. Pure socialism: All things are provided by the government. No one owns property, natural resources. In theory...

I went with Warlord, as that is my usual starting level with each new Civ game. Still have not finnished all the CIV's in G&K(+DLC) yet at this level. But that might be due to my setting of all my games at marathon, and not being able to play 24/7.

Beleive it or not, the last use of a longbow in a real war was WWII, by an eccentric Britsh officer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill Besides, range 2 Machine guns and gatling guns are pretty good as well.

I give them one warning, and then go crusading. :D

Have you tried locking the use of the resource by your capital?

That's an obvious choice. That would allow you to get the the faith for mount Fuji and start a religion early. But your other option is 7 hexes North by north east of of Stockholm. Do it know and you begin to limit Spain's expansion, and gives you access to the lands further east. This spot...

I'd look at settling four spots, the first is two spots south east of the gem resource south of Madrid. The second is the the coastal hill next to the barbarian camp near Mt Fuji, the last is the plains coastal hex south of the river. These would be the otpimal areas to settle initially for...

I've recently run into sluggish performance with this game on my PC. It was running fine up until a week or so ago (DX9). Was there a recent patch/hotfix?

I always saw the SODs as targets for splash damage (from artillery and aircraft). At which point the AI performed terribly anyway. At least now the AI doesn't loose its entire army in one turn.

Basically you won't make mone on trade routes until a city is at least 5 population. Also, it is advisable when bulding a road, complete the trade route as soon as possible. Otherwise your loosing mony on the roads to nowhere.

And it's nobody's business but the Turks! :crazyeye:

For me it was the upgrading of units. You can go to the military view screen, select a unit there, press "u", and it upgrades (if you have the cash).

I was continuing a rome game last night on warlord. I noted that one CIV, Korea is expanding as did the Arabians (on to my continent) which I promptly bought out and later razed to build a city in a better location. Wasn't happening pre-patch....
