Britain is a small Island

SIV it is hard to make those types of deterination with a screenie. A save would let someone look at all the factors. Not to mention we still do not know what the game level is at.

Since it is 880AD and Germany has about two mines total, I am guessing it is around Warlord. In any event, I see no reason to be concerned about Germany, they should not be a threat until they can muster up Panzers.

Russia OTOH will be making its UU soon and that will not be be fun and they are much larger than Germany.

Looks like you should do alright. Concentrate forces and go for it before they get too tough.

Actually they have 9 mines (7 of them in the pic) and it's regent - so It shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks for the advice guys

Germany is food rich/shield poor. They shouldn't be too tough to take down. My GOODNESS that's a lot of food!

And somehow all that food didn't help the Germany-AI

Well, I actually think you`re fairly big now. I think you should not attack anyone; just go on developing your continental cities as fast as you can.
You have two advantages:

1)Your insular possesions are fairly easy to defend, so you don`t need too much force out there. Send your units to the continent, and focus on science.
2)On the ocntinetnt, you have only two fronts, so you have only two countries which CAN really harm you.

Again, you`ve got a big coountry now; WAIT. Donpt attack anyone, play the peaceful Kissinger way, and stay up there. Focus on Culture and WOnders.

Why, why, why does the AI irrigate those deserts around Berlin? The floodplains and wheat should be providing more than enough food to compensate for the loss of a few food tokens to mines. Sigh.

[Kuciwalker]

You can't mine floodplain tiles.

[Solomwi]

You can mine desert, though, Kucinich.

Why, why, why does the AI irrigate those deserts around Berlin?

[Kuciwalker]

Oh, I didn't realise some of those tiles were actual desert. It looked like the river was touching them.

SIV? Simian Immunodeficiency Virus?

Looks like you should have this game in the bag.

[Vince278]

This seems to illustrate how odd the AI can be.

SIV, can you determine whether Russia has had her Golden Age yet ? (from wonders that match traits) Or would you trigger it as soon as the first cossack wins a battle ? If so, I would go for Germany.

[SIV]

Thanks for your advice - I'm now at the modern era and about to win - so you can stop giving your wonderful advice

What did you end up doing? Did you conquer the Germans, and prune the Russians? Or did you settle down and build? Or a little of both...

I would have been tempted to take away Russia's horses and iron right near the border there. If you were nefarious enough, you could do it by building towns on the border. heheh
