Well, there's at least 4 of us who have it, so I figured we should have a discussion thread.
So, how many Great People do you guys have, who have do you have the green statues of (people you have destroyed), and is Ghandi a dick in your game or is he just uncharacteristically douchey in mine?

I going to pick this up post-vacation at the end of the month. I'm really interested in it. I may rent it, but I think I probably have about as much do in late fees at Hollywood video as it would cost to actually buy the game.

Well, if you haven't yet, download the demo. It is just as addicting as the full game.

The game is really addicting. It was just nice to be my boy Napoleon and kick some ass with him. Of the civilzations I have played with so far my favorite is the Aztecs, it's nice when your troops heal themselves right after battle.
Ghandi is a total ass in my game as well. All he does is demand some of my knowledge and when/if I give him some, he then turns around 2 turns later and declares war on me.

Well, I was getting attacked by everyone except Japan in my most recent game as Napoleon and I was trying to get the economic victory, and then my game froze and my last save was about 300 years ago.

That sucks. On deity everyone attacks you. Alexander and I were peaceful for about 4 turns and then he turned on me, but he is the only one who wanted peace with me on deity.

I gotta say, everyone, if you're going to play on any difficulty other than Chieftain, make sure you get combustion and then build the Leonardo's Workshop wonder. Especially if you have a good number of warriors/legion/knights/etc. There's nothing better than watching veteran tank armies face single catapults.

I love having a battleship just camp out my harbor and molest those  ing Brits because Queen Elizabeth wants to shake me down but I'm too far for her ground troops to reach. Thus she's forced to just send galleys in one by one and then just keep getting mowed down. |

Except for the random occasion when they upgrade to submarines and even though their defense is 2 and your attack is 25 or whatever battleships are, you lose. Especially when you have a veteran tank army on your battleship. |

The only reason I got this game today was because I got tired of playing the demo non stop for two straight days. Granted I was broke but I didnt care this was one game (like Madden) that I just had to get around the time it came out. Sides, I start my new job on monday so I didnt worry about money lol.
I've only played one game as America and I beat out India, Germany, Britain. I must ask, does the hall of fame or w/e really mean anything it really doesnt seem to. I mean I went through all the wonders of two of the eras already in one game. And there really doesnt seem to be that much left. Shame there isnt a story mode or something but I guess multiplayer would make up for anything.
I'm sure they'll be another game though because I can see this selling pretty well.

The Hall of Fame, if you're talking about the thing with all of the statues and paintings and stuff, is pretty much just there for personal reference. Same with the room that shows all of the dancers and stuff.

Jesus Christ. King Difficulty mode sucks. Every AI enemy starts off with 2 technologies more than you. And right when one of the AI is about to win the entire world turns on you. I'm hoping it's because I was using India, and it'll turn out that India sucks or something, because those games were bullcrap.

Would anyone like to get a multiplayer game going? I'd probably get slapped around, but it would still be fun.

Well rack up three more games and three more time running out-Domination victories for me. The last one was frustrating. I had completely conquered 3/4 of the AI civilizations, was assembling both the World Bank and the U.N., and waiting for my space colony to take its sweet time to Alpha Centauri, and time runs out. . |

If you really want to get a world bank going, your best bet is once your cities have enough good troops to defend them, go to each city screen and hit the Y button to switch them from science to gold production. That way you can get your money up faster and have more time to build the World Bank.
For the spaceship, make sure you load up on Fuel and Propulsion, but only have one habitat and life support. That way it only takes about 6 turns to get to Alpha Centauri.
Also, make sure you build the UN/World Bank in a city that has a lot of buildings done so that they can build faster thanks to the Factory, Workshop, and the like.
And if you're still having issues, you should just play on Chieftain, since there's no difficulty-based achievements until you go King or higher.

I'm hoping it's because I was using India, and it'll turn out that India sucks or something, because those games were bull ****. They are bull ****. I managed to win my first game on King by getting all the different victories. What I had to do was rush two civilizations right at the start and take them out and then just focus on getting my technologies and I was able to produce stronger armies than the two civilzations that were left. |

I just got my first domination victory on deity. The game was going to end in 5 turns so I took all my bomber units and tank units and rushed the Romans and I ended up taking Athens. Then the game ended 2 turns later and I was the winner. I could have ended the game sooner as I could have built the bank of wonder and got an econimic victory.

Got my culture and tech wins on deity tonight. I used the Greeks and just dominated the entire game. My two main cities were pumping out 400+ science and 600+ gold per turn. I still need to be the Arabs and Mongols as I want to see what they can do.
