Edit add on, By the way, why build settlers on a crowded pangea? Rush to iron working and build swords instead!~

It takes out other civs, wich gives you MORE expansion room, and gives you great city sites

Because IA sucks when it comes to city placement...

I think the idea is you will almost always get a killer site from taking capitals, and early on you probably want to raze most of the rest of their cities anyway

Killer sites yes... but sucker placements. Often you see a great capital, just one tile to the right >.<

Isabella can be iritating, but at least you know that she always is crazy. The backstabbers like De Gaulle and Julius Caesar are alot more frustrating to me, because you never know when they are going to snap

Again something else I love. That tense buildup of "I know it's coming, but when?" Last Night, As I play my game (emorer marathon huge, 2 continents, 1 HUGE one, and my tiny big enough for 8 cities island nation that I was alll alone on for centuries) Well in order to secure my island nation, I needed to gain a foot hold on the mainland (you cannot predict an amphibiose attack, but you can defend a beechhead) And I began vassalizing nations on the east coast. Cyrus was in the north and had grown large, Charlamain was dead center in the middle and had amased a great empire, he scared me. Yet poor little Willem Orange, on the west coast, my good friend, had his own plans.

Willem declared war on the Big scary mean Charlamaign. And ATE HIM UP! (he had tanks!) Broke apart the old power structure and made a new one.

Me and my vassals in the east. Cyrus and his in the north, and the now Monsterous dutch empire in the west. A few Independants in the south. A clash was inevitable. And it made the game SO MUCH FUN!

A 3-way of all friendlies. We all loved each other. So who was gonna back stab who was Impossible to predict. But you knew it would happen, sooner or later.

Finally Cyrus declared war on me. Willem wouldnt join the war on my side because "He had enough on his hands right now" Wich meant he was planning on attacking someone already. Of course it was me. But I expected it to be. my Vassalized Germany was utterly destroyed, but berlin and calogn (cities I heald) survived, Cyrus's Egypt was destroyed (and I gifted her lands to my Saladin Vassal) and that world war was soooooooo much fun.


Man I love this game.
