I just went through your timeline on the Civfanatics site. I'm a new Civ player. I was able to follow the action, but had a question. There is a point in time when you get repeated tributes from the Zulus. I was unable to understand how that was accomplished. Care to enlighten me? Stan

It's been a while since I played that game (<a href="http://www.civfanatics.com/timeline1a.shtml">click here for the timeline</a>). I am very surprised myself. I managed to get tribute from the Zulus every turn for 8 turns! The amount was 75, 25, 50, 25, 25, 25, 200, and 150 Golds. They were definitly my Golden Goose! <IMG SRC="http://forums.civfanatics.com/smilies/cwm45.gif" border=0>

So if you have the military and are not afraid of war, demand tribute every turn. They may give you tribute for many turns one after another, until they run out of money! I guess Zulus had to sell some of their improvements to pay me tribute.

i have encountered this with one city challenge too. every one, and i mean everyone, wants an alliance with you! they are never mad. lowest at all times is enthusiatic. demand tribute every turn, yes every turn, and get like 200 gold. this is on diety. no wars or pestilences or anything. and you can trade techs too. and maps. its awesome. i find it strange how when one is so weak, diety nations (very very rich ones ) are very kind to you and your one city.
