    Has anyone else adopted a schorced earth policy?

    I raze I still strongly support a new game concept of refugees. If you raze, all those people don't die in the fire, instead they escape to nearby cities, increasing their population. Or even form guerilla units like in civ2 to slow your progress.

    Small tip: trading post on marsh land

    Marshes are more permanent in nature. Flood plains flood temporarily and are very fertile. Nile delta comes to mind. Which reminds me... Trading posts built on flood plains should regularly wash away. Maybe every 15 turns.

    Gandhi AI never makes it to modern age.

    Gandhi AI never makes it to modern age.

    I know he's a pacifist, but it's getting sad. In each game I played, if Gandhi was on the map, he got wiped out before modern age by another AI if not me. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

    I voted for China, but did anyone stop and took notice of how well thought out some of these UA names are?

    100% fool-proof strat for Deity without reloading on any map, speed or setting.

    Won my second Deity game, here's tips.

    You forgot something Gatheras: Restarting on a new map is only a step away from playing in worldbuilder and giving yourself a GDR when your neighbor storms you with more units than you can handle. (c) Godclone, page 2

    Won my second Deity game, here's tips.

    Oh, I get it. Instead of challenging my intellect, you could give this game a chance (deity, quick, small). Win it, come back and offer us tips. Don't reload if it violates your standards.

    Won my second Deity game, here's tips.

    It does while the game is new (as it is) and we're still testing and learning. If I want to follow through on an idea, damn right I'll reload until I get the conditions I want. Again, this thread contributed NOTHING to the strategy of the game style presented (deity-quick-small map)...
