Wow..sometimes it really pays to dig around in the old posts. Special thanks to Vel and Hermann - I think you just light-bulbed the middle- and end-game for me.
I've been visiting here for nearly a year, and reading everything has improved my CIV play a lot. I haven't been posting because I have not have anything to really add. I'm going to now though because this thread needs to be bumped. There are various threads around asking about how to improve mid- and end-game play at high (monarch+) difficulty levels. They have answers that are neccessarily general in nature. THIS thread has examples of not one, but two entire games, where the players have put in enough detail so you can see the general answers THEY used, and exactly how they arrived at those answers and then applied them.
Some people learn really well from examples; I'm one of them. Seeing how others really plan ahead and prioritize in detail is going to help me. I bet it will help others.
Even a re-read might be in order.
I'm sure I read this last summer ( I checked out all Vel's threads); those and others got me from struggling at Prince to now holding my own at Monarch. Yet only today did I really realize what those numbers in the Demographics screen meant, and what you could do with them, after seeing what these guys did with that info.
Thanks.
