Oh, I was doing that anyway. Of course, it's no fun to have a game with 0 SGLs, compared say to the game I had in which I generated something like 7 of them (no idea how that happened).

What is the "Age of Science" supposed to do, anyway? And can you (at least theoretically) have more than one?

This may be a silly question, but how can you tell the AI is using the luxury slider?

That's a good idea. I've occasionally done that, even gifting the tech so I make the trade. Been a while, though. I've never given a go-to order except for exploratory warriors (or scouts, if playing an Expansionist civ). I try to be picky about exactly where I build a town, and I don't want...

Yeah, I've generally been a Spaceship/UN victory type. Once in a while I go for Domination, which I might try if I play Iroquois.

Thinking Iroquois on a Standard map, random AI opponents (probably end up with the most super-aggressive...).

Did that 6 games ago (which is a long time ... I don't get to play very often). Funnily enough, I didn't really notice the difference.

That's about what I was thinking, especially having had a couple games where I was hoarding gold just because I could & didn't know what to do with most of it.

My last game was a Diplomatic victory at Monarch as Byzantines on a Standard map, with over 13K gold (at one point I was making a ridiculous nearly-800GPT!). The DoW by the Celts was perfect timing. I got China in against them, but then China double-crossed me and DoW on me after using my RR...

I have deals with the Inca where I'm currently getting 104 GPT (1 turn left), 24 GPT (14 turns left) and Wines (19 turns left). These were for tech, so I'm not providing anything to them per turn. If I were to hypothetically* DoW on them now, would it spoil my trade rep? * I need rubber, so I...

Playing Byzantines, I crushed the Aztecs. One of the former Aztec cities has some Aztec citizens and some Byzantine. If I create a Settler from that town, will the settler be Aztec or Byzantine? I need to build a town in Incan territory (I need to steal their rubber) and would rather have a...

When I have my way (like my current game), the AI is always running out of cash. :D CivAssist is valuable for this alone, keeping me up on trade options. (Only issue is it doesn't keep up like it used to & I have to keep manually loading each save. Anyone know of a fix for that?)

Thanks. Something else I never looked at was the "sentry" action, so I'm not terribly familiar with it. Then again, I haven't finished a game in probably over a year ... started another one this morning in a bout of insomnia, which hopefully I'll get to experiment a little bit with...

I know how to upgrade single units from the F3 screen, but not en masse. How does that work?

Has anyone tried allowing cities on mountains? Wondering if it's worth trying...
