God I love internet forums A mod note, two infractions, and an explanation privately should have sufficed. Take three days to calm down. Please follow the rules when you return. - Vincour

Keep em coming

I'm really struggling to imagine how, in a thread including the words 'isreal' and 'traits', we could avoid politics. Or is it specifically the politics of political leaders that has its' own subforum? I couldn't find that one. In any case. I would give Israel 'agricultural' as it is, of...

Another forum, another power-tripping moderator Alas, PDMA is against the rules as well. Two point infraction. - Vincour

You always go with the optimum. Sometimes that means sticking with what you have. When Yitzhak Rabin is available, Ariel Sharon is only optimum if you care about graphics over his awful politics.

Oh let's also try to spell Israel correctly.

Yeah, Golda Meir, Theodore Herzl, take your pick, just not Sharon or Bibi please or any of those twats please.

Was having .net framework issues; reinstalled conquests into regular program files rather than x86. Tried copying civassist into the same program files/steam..../conquests folder but to no avail, getting the same problem since I reinstalled conquests - civassist doesn't seem to recognize the...

I'm not clear on how specialist policemen work. I can see the way civil engineers and all the other specialists seem to work, but policemen are an enigma. Do they work better in conjuction with a courthouse and/or police station? I've had them in not particularly corrupt cities and they seem to...

Moved my palace to the front with germany on picking up a MGL about 10 turns ago (as a result of this thread).... whilst at war, had Salzburg (two towns to the east) flip after that, after the palace move, was able to re-invade, and since then it's all been good. Persepolis became a shadow of...

Also, after civil engineering (was totally not maximizing that tech) far-flung small coastal/island cities become much easier - don't bother with growth at first, set your sole citizen to be a civil engineer and build a harbor quickly. This sort of thing looks like it should be very important -...

By god, not just city micro-management that's a pain in the arse and difficult, worker micro-management is too. Have started clumping my workers together. Have realized that slaves can be useful when irrigating after replaceable parts, as they deal in half-units and irrigation goes from 3...

They were a barrier - Inca sent in a ton of troops to invade the Carthaginian cities and I wanted them cut off from their main armies in preparation for a full-scale invasion of Inca.

OK, so more worker micro-management - I must have some mental blocks about exactly how much work has to go into these things! What are slaves?

Hmm, I've done something very wrong here it seems. Had iron reasonably close, got a couple of tech advances from huts early doors, and had maybe 3 SGLs? I had a war with Inca that lasted maybe 40-50 turns on and off, I was able to fend them off fairly well, but that's the only war I had - didn't...
