Talk talk walk walk (post savegame)

[Theov]

Ok. People learn a lot from looking at the other.
Nothing teaches you more than the real thing.
Post your latest savegame here.
Just add some minor details about what you did and the rest will follow.

I worked from the north... but now I'm on tension with america.
I'm blocking their expansion really.

First - you aren't building any settlers! You have lots of room left on the map; you should still be building settlers like mad. I'd switch The Hague to a Bank and then build Settlers nonstop there.

Second - you have a lot of cities depending on clowns. Push the lux slider up to 10 or 20% -- you'll put those clowns to work and be able to build things faster.

Third - you should have more ships exploring the islands near your core. Have Amsterdam and Enschede build a few Caravels to go exploring once they complete their current builds.

Fourth - you're doing okay in number of workers, but you've irrigated WAY too much. Even once you're out of despotism, you're generally better off mining grassland; you'll get better production.

Fifth - if you're going to go to war on America, pull the Incas and Mayas in on the action. That will help keep them busy so you don't have to fight as many units.

Sixth - build about half a dozen Trebuchets before you go to war. Build a road to Memphis, send the Trebs in a stack with 4 Pikes and 8 attack units, and bombard with all the Trebs before attacking with your units. That will make the town fall more easily.

Does that help?

Yes, I'm pretty bad at using the lux slider.

 

[Elephantium]

I should add one more thing.

Even if there's a lot more you could do, your empire is in pretty good shape. You're not in danger of being run over by the AI

Thanks. I set the lux slider to 20%. Worked like a charm.
I've built some settlers and went to war vs the Americans capturing some cities.
(the 3 closest by). Yeah I always pull some friends in, and the Mayans took some eastern cities. Now at peace.

Then I built some settlers and a bunch of workers because I have steam power now. I'm now roading for coal and preparing a war vs the Mayans. However, I don't want to fall into the war weariness trap again and I don't have saltpeter. And no way to get it either. I'm sending some settlers to the west of the Incas, there's some saltpeter and ivory...

Others can post their saves here too.

 

[Bowsling]

All right, I guess I'll give it a go...

Spaceship game as Greece, on Emperor. Just recently steamrolled Egypt and Rome with Infantry/Artillery/Cavalry. Hittites and Persia are my biggest rivals, while Germany and Arabia are also threats. It's past the point where I manually manage each city each turn.

So feel free to have a look and criticize my errors!

 

[Kaidonni]

Since as no one cares, forget it. No saved game...

with an army like that, I'd roll into some capitals to cripple the enemy.
How did you get on such a bad foot with everyone?
You have ivory to sell.

I'm not very good with reputation. I believe that I was in an MPP with Rome when the declared war on Germany, so I said, "Screw You!" and declared war on them. But by that point, my rep was already kind of trashed. That was the point where I wrapped my reputation in bacon strips and bacon strips and deep fry it in Jack Daniel's sauce (because that's smart!) and stuffed it with poutine. And next time, we'll eat the Hittite Space Program!

I'm gonna keep my army around, mabye eat up some of those little island civilizations. Use it on major powers if a feel their spaceship is getting too advanced. Most capitals are near the coast anyway, so a little sneak attack would be fairly easy to execute.

Your science advisor just asked: "Whatcha know about Space Program!!" then he put on glasses and suggested to cover the Germans with cheese. How can you disagree. You can't, that's what.
So I played some turns, smart, and kicked the Germans of the continent.

Did you ever resize your comment box while typing? No you didn't.

 

[Bowsling]

Ha, I'm just to lazy to put a proper fleet together.

And no, I don't generally bother with "Going Advanced", unless I'm quoting a message or posting an attachment.
