Have you tried playing at chieftan level? I think that'll be a bit more along the lines of what you're hoping for (similar level of advancement). I can't...
Hi! my advice is the same, try easier levels. On high levels, it is possible ´that the AI s have several settlers at the start, and build units faster than...
I'll join in with the other comments. The Warlord level puts you at about the same level as the AI. Especially if you chose the "huge" map and don't start on...
I was just wondering what kind of strategy people employ when deciding to go to war. I tend to wait for a significant unit advancement, then build several,...
I never go to war unless I'm overwhelmingly ahead in technology and production. :) ... http://us.click.yahoo.com/Z1wmxD/DREIAA/yQLSAA/cLRolB/TM ... ...
I tend to have a nightmare, even on the easiest settings unless I just build masses of troops and park them outside the opposing cities. Then, I try and pick...
I play my own self-written scenarios, but even when I play the game straight I never initiate war. I wait for the party to come to me. I also never make peace....
You cannot control where other civilizations tend to settle. However, in the latest version you CAN take over those cities that settle too close to you. Build...
You know, I'm glad I'm not the only one who never initiates war. It's inherent in my personality, I guess. I prefer to win by diplomatic means and I usually...
At the risk of adding a "me too" message, I must confirm that Kit's strategy works. I employ the same. Especially if my settler builds a city very close to...
I real life I am a leader in the Peace Movement. So, in the game I never start a fight. In real life, however, if I was attacked, I would defend myself. So, in...
When you say you build as many cities as you can, does this mean that you are still able to give maximum resource growth for each city? I tend to move my...
One way you can prevent settlement is to have control of all the territory on your land mass. I build cities in less than optimum places in order to make sure...
Kevin, What type of system and OS are you using? More importantly, are you using the latest and greatest patch from Firaxis? I've never had a problem with the ...
I've got plenty of memory, and I'm running on XP. I haven't tried a patch yet because I don't have broadband and waiting ten years for a download has put me...
No, the main goal at that point (until the maximum number of cities is reached) is to plant more cities. I plant cities in the places that are most likely to...
I hear what you are saying Kit, and I must admit that I didn't know there was a limit to the number of cities in a game... However, I still wonder wether you...
Yeah, you should be prepared to build less than optimum cities in order to defend certain strategic interests. ... Ryan Puckett - Ann Arbor, MI Waheguru Ji Ka...
It's necessary to be sure that you are getting essential resources when building cities. However, if possible, there is a pattern that yields maximium land...
Jim, that is what I allready do, however the way Kit was talking made me think that this doesn't necessarily yield the best results for your civ. Looks good...
Must say, I too would be intersted in the answer to question 2 though my personal offering is, I doubt it. As for question 1, I too have never repelled, but...
... Nothing - it stays part of the original civ. ... Accept the culture flip and then raze the new city. ... Yep. You can abandon any city which is of...
One method of limiting opposing civs' growth is to send a couple of groups of three units to within 2 squares of their closest border cities; then start with...
Right back at ya, Dude. There is no way to disallow the two squares around a city. The game does not allow anyone to put a new city within the two squares of...
I am not opposed to the method as sketched out below. There is nothing wrong with it. The ONLY time I put a city closer than that is when I am planting next to...
It seems to me that you could have it build settlers again and again until it can no longer build them (because it would deplete the city's population to...
Depending on how fast I can build Settlers and how much I want the opposing city, I just send out Settlers to settle in the squares right outside their ...
Question: What does the '*' mean when it's next to an elite unit? I notice that on occasion, when one of my elite units succeeds in vanquishing an opposing...
