...My question is thus: how do people play for this long? does any off this stuff they do actually make a difference or is it just needless pedanticism?

When you're an Ex-ChessPlayer, it's hard to get out of the habit of trying to find the BEST moves ALL the time! (That's why they have Time-Limits in chess games!)

There is a lot to what you say...........in that a Fast Finish probably doesn't need that much thought if you get the Overall Strategy right......and some luck with the Map!

HOF games are about milking the game until 2050 AD.

That is the way it USED to be..........Nowadays, the majority of HOF games are Fast Finishes.....where the Score doesn't matter BUT the End-Date does!

By the time democracy is discovered, marketplaces and good cities should be in abundance. How's that?

Also, in Democracies, all the extra commerce that you get from the +1 bonus, and the corruption minimisation, and so on... more than compensates for your units. One can easily support a decent sized army in a Democracy, and even a large one at times.

Great for a 20K city, of course. Otherwise, take it or leave it. If the AI research Free Artistry for you, give it a crack. No great loss.

Assume civ A is selling a lux or a resource to civ B for gpt. What happens to the trade if civ B acquires that lux/res from another source? Will they have to keep paying "for nothing" for the remainder of those 20 turns?

 

[eldar]

It happens to you, so it'll happen to the AIs as well.

Yes. But after the 20 turns period ends they will cancel the trade treaty immediately.

That should be the right folder. Make sure you click on the 'Civ-Content' on the main menu to access them.

[zombie potato]

Are there any ways to get a certain civ to declare war on you for war happiness reasons besides failing espionage or nukes? Because doing those wont give a wh bonus.

Thanks for the help,

 

[TimBentley]

Demanding their units to leave your territory (getting them angry first by demanding gold or something like that helps) often causes them to declare war.
