true. and credit to aelf for taking me there.
I just can't believe some of the routes. 
it has been touched on elsewhere, but a general question post patch. standard or epic? which is easier and why? I've been playing epic just to give the units more time to war. should I play standard to push myself.
and BTW, I'm movin' on up (10% monarch wins now that I've got this screwy patch almost figured out).

Here's the save. Graphically challenged, so no pix. If anyone is bored, and has time for suggestions, they'd be appreciated.

Well, then you're in the right place. Welcome aboard.
connect things like gold, silver, gems to your cities. After you get calender, dyes, etc, will also help with those angry red faces.

ill take a look
AK got the jist of it, civics help also- hereditry rule for instance or representation. later on in the game you may need to switch to emacipation as other civs have. The culture slider is also usefull if you have theatres/colosseums etc in your cities.

i generally consider epic easier than standard and marathon easier than epic. Simply because you have a longer timeframe on your units built.

Ok now you've done well with the conquering but id say you have little to no chance of scoring a diplo win, the other two people you havnt killed hate you. your also very close to a domination win. you may as well expand your borders on your own island and if need be wait a couple of centuries and just land on the other one and kill them all.
now on general gameplay issues- you dont seem to have an established GP farm, meccas doing a reasonable job with them scientists but as your the only one left on this island your going to need to be bulbing quite a few techs. so somewhere like yekateringurg would be good if all farmed with the food resources around it.
why all the wall and castle building? i know you get a trade route for each castle but when you can only trade inside your empire that +1 gold isnt worth it when you could be building other things- monastries for instance.
hope this helps and well done on conquering that much, being able to do that shows that your ready for the next level

hey simon, thanks for the comments. I won three or four turns later. that's why i prefaced the comments with the comment.
As to the wall and castle building, that's what happen's when I'm left unsupervised and don't have to answer to team members. This is something I need to get over.
anyway, a request for the lurkers, based on Blcg's comments. What should the parameters of my next monarch game be? I keep bailing on monarch cause I'm not 4 techs ahead and don't have my own continent.

try epic speed if your worried. It'll slow down the rate that your troops become obsolete and thus make it easier to conquer.
try not being rome you dont want to fall into the same tactic everytime and just praet rush everyone. I'd pick a philo civ but thats just the way i like to play

A quick look at dad's save.
All cities have +10 happy faces, so they should grow fast.
By that time you should have enough population to win via
backdoor diplomatic. But this game, I guess, ended up in a domination win.
Before going up a level, maybe you should try a different civ/leader + raging
barbarians (without owning the Great Wall).
Or after you achieved every victory on the same level.
But if your current level feels comfortable, especially with , then
it's time to move up.

hi all, I'm back with more questions... sorry
playing continents, usually monarch or prince
I'm in a routine, doing the same old thing the same different way for the most part. Various civs. I use the early UU or UB and go conquer my continent. then the AI shows up and I play catch up on the techs.
and yes, I took tatrans advice, now I can't seem to get away from grabbing early metals.
Can someone point me to a thread that talks about early religious strats?

there is no religious victory, so what's the point exactly?
You can read through EMC2 , Aelf plays a religious game with Ramses.
Or do you mean to go cultural by catching all the possible religions? I have no link to provide, but it's something I do quite often.
Admiral Kutzov
Idiot Emeritus
As usual, I'm clueless about what I'm trying to accomplish.
going cultural by getting all the religions sounds like a plan. thanks cabert.
Now this is prolly the wrong place, but, hell everyone already is tired of my shenanigans. I don't want to start a new thread and choke up the bandwidth.
I thought I'd make this a little more lighthearted and ask people to post a screenie and a save with the question "what's wrong with this picture?" in mind.
Off the top of my pointy little head, I have nothing to post, but I ask that screenies and posts be limited to warlords.
This is to be a kind of clearing house for all those "what am I doing wrong" threads. I'm sure I'll be back when I try cabert's suggestion.

as usual, I can't follow simple instructions.
I'm doing okay on SE, but I'm getting the feeling I don't whip enough. Should I just go caste or should I retool and whip more?

there is no rule for this
If you use the specialists very largely (=more than 2 scientists per city in the early game), caste system is what you need.
Else, just whip a library and you lose nothing by staying under slavery.

thinking of going bullets. louis or mehmed. What's the best way to bulb to gunpowder on monarch? I do better with louis cause of creative, and less good with Medmed due to the UU. If I do it right, IMHO, I think Mehmed would be better. opinions/suggestions?
IMHO the fastest way is to rush to liberalism, avoiding fishing and machinery.
