im not trying to showboat nor am i saying im the best, im just saying im very good and the strategies ive found along the way work wonders for my playing style.
if you think im giving attitude then so be it, in the end i really dont care, people will draw their own conclusions and think what they want. these forums are here for discussions and advice, im entitled to help too not just you, deal with it.

And you have to deal with the fact that the majority of people, many who are playing at far higher levels, are trying to give you advice that will help you when you decide to have a real challenge and play at higher levels than princeKeep on Civin'

i accept that but dont think that playing on emperor or higher makes you a better player than people who play on prince, if i really wanted too i could play on deity and just give us our own continents and try to oust'd them in the space race or whatever,Keep on Civin'

and changing deserts to plains really aint cheating since it benefits all, i like the actual earth map and they have no deserts or tundra lol, but N.A. is really small yet its the 3rd largest continent square mileage wise, N.A. should be alittle smaller than africa but it doesnt seem that way, i wonder if there any saved maps we could load then use while controlling the options in-game before starting too, hmmm.

then go ahead and do it... show us how your "strategy" works on Deity. Don't rig the map, or make any changes... Show us how good you are instead of crowing how brilliant you are at prince level. Prove your "defensive strategy" can work on the higher levels... or just agree to play in a MP game.Keep on Civin'

Back to the game...
We're at endgame as he launched his spaceship. It's complete minus 1 thruster, which IIRC slows him down by 20% so I'm thinking 12 turns(?). That was 2 turns ago and my 2 cities are on track to legendary status 2 turns before that.
I've been rebuilding my fleet like crazy and so did he somewhat. Tbh I'm not sure what he's been building since I don't see a lot of new units . I know he's been sending tons of spies my way but most get caught quickly. I just DoWed him again (why not?) and had positioned my ships to maximum advantage... and my Athenian navy gave me a strong advantage. In fact every attack but 1 was to my advantage and in the end I sank 27 of his ships while losing only ONE. Also lost 2 bombers but managed to take out one of his jet fighters. Also have positioned a small fleet to burn 2 more of his cities next turn on other side of his continent.
Btw it appears that tac nukes don't count wrt SDI... upon further reading of the game files it states nukes are ICBMs. Didn't know that and don't think he did either or he might have had more regular subs out and about. Or maybe he does have them squirreled away somewhere. Guess I'll find out.
Also found a bug in 3.19- don't know if it's new- but if you destroy a spaceship part on the same turn it was built the game crashes in the spaceship view screen as it attempts to put on the part but fails. Might be just PBEM.I'm consitently stupid- Japher

Please update us in 10 turns. I'm really interested to see if you stealth the culture victory.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I just noticed how stealthy Stealth Destroyers really are. He's blockading several of my ports and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. Should've RTFM.

My last Great Person I got was a Great Artist. So while it says my 3rd city is 13 turns away from Legendary, it's really only 2. Other city is 4 turns. I figure at least 6-8 turns for his spaceship to land.
The only way for him to win is either invade and destroy one of those cities (now impossible since his fleet is at the bottom of the ocean) or drop multiple nukes on one of the other 2 in order to destroy their cultural buildings. That's still possible as our SDIs aren't running at optimal capacity: mine's got a 60% success rating and his is 25%.
Oh, and they do work vs. tac nukes. At least sometimes.I'm consitently stupid- Japher

edit: i found out how to change deserts and plains and tundra and snow(?, do they mean ice?) but i looked through the file some more and didnt see anything for flood plains or % of mountains either, where would i find the "terrain generators" for those? thx for the help.Last edited by brandonjm8; December 29, 2009, 22:23.
