Apolyton's "Great Library"

[Scouse Gits]

Some "list of recent challenges" I'm thinking in particular of DaveV's 'AI Headstart Challenge' there is wisdom in those logs that should not be lost.

Come on Dan, Mark - give us the go ahead!

Gameleague is also making a Great Library. Go to gameleague.megaultra.com to submit your own strategy or to submit a link to a forum post you think should be on there. Only well thought out, thorough strategies will be accepted.

SG -
I thought that this had lost steam because the massive list of links I post periodically is basically subbing for a great library. basically, whenever someone finds a good link and posts to this thread, the GL is improved.

Heaven help me when these threads get archived and the links no longer work.

Y'know, it wuld be better if the authors summerize the entire thread into one long text, then have somebody set up a contents page and put one "scroll of wisdom" into each page which is linked to the contents page...

I can't remember who posted this, , and I'm not sure if it's worthy for inclusion but I use it constantly.

That would be the suggestion of making sure your diplomats/spys are on the furthest square away from an AI capitol before bribing a city. The difference in bribe amounts from one side of a city to the other can run into the 100's of gold.

Anybody else remember seeing this tip?

Yes and it is also in the Scrolls of Wisdom site despite some reservations about the latter's total accuracy. There definitely is a difference even with one square but the actual saving would depend on the distance as well as the AI civ's coffers.

I am currently making all of those links that FB found in to individual (Well, I also have one large one) documents. I POSSIBLY could finish it over the weekend.
