I wish it would show in the quick research list too.. Patch idea?
Do you mean the green number in the little menu that appears normally? Well maybe it could help, I didn't use that thing many times because it was too long to see that, but when I needed it, it was helpful.I wish it would show in the quick research list too.. Patch idea?
@Morte
I was mainly thinking about the civ specifik strategies.
It might be nice to get different angles on those.
I agree with you that have you seen one 1000 AD achievement you dont need to see another
Yeah, I agree. But it's also true the Morte wrote most of the strategies in this forum. So it makes sense that his name appears more than the others in the archive. I didn't follow too much this thread, also because the first people reaction has being to argue instead to say thanks or at least to give some help (like: if I find a strategy that I think is good, I'll pm you and please add it in the list). After all a post like that is very useful for casual readers that come here just for strategies.
And I had been wondering about that for months until now as well.PS: I am continuing to find little tidbits I didn't know about in these threads (for example, the fact that those little (1) green numbers in the tech tree planner show you if the "first to research" bonus is available.
I have put here some tips, how to search in this page and now I will create new strategies for the following civs (I tried them now and know what to do):
-Spanish
-Germans (I prefer them)
The germans strategy is now available. The spanish strategy maybe is coming soon.
PS: I do this to help the community, this isn't a race for the best strategy archive, but I ask you please to post here and not there. If you want to help the community, then please post here your strategies, then I will add these here. I won't post strategies without asking others to put those here.
i want to do the spanish, but it'll take time.
i want to make my archieve to race with you guys, but i think the mods and elizabeth would see it as spam, since it'll only have 1 strategy in it...
morte your a genius
Can you please stop giving me -1 rep for a helpful thread? Really, I do this to help, while others insult me for this, copying my thread, saying it's worthless.. All these things are stupid and I think only kids can start giving bad rep because you don't like a thing. Be serious and stop doing this stupid thing, saying it's worthless doesn't help, then, give me good strategies.
PMSLMAO - the AI is shoddy in places tooi tried going outside once. the graphics were awesome, but the gameplay was boring.

It's not a strategy per se, but it is strategically very useful...
I added it because I think that's helpful, but others should ask me if they want to see here their strategies. I value that and see if their good however, I don't want to put here 10 germans strategies for example.PMSLMAO - the AI is shoddy in places too

I think if you want this to be a good archive you should add eirekstein's guides on the mongols, egyptians, french and russians. All those threads were well written and help you better understand how to use those civs. They also all have a lot of discussion in them so people who read them are going to be able to find even more information in the discussion of the guide / civ then just in the guide itself.
That's my opinion at least. It'd also add some much needed variety to this strategy guide of yours. Just my opinion.
Ok, I will, then if they ask me to delete strategies I will do it. Tomorrow maybe I will see his strategies and put them here.
thanks for the srtategys
ill be doin a English strategy, it was gonna be spanish but changed my mind.....
so open a slot or something, its that great
why isnt my french strategy here....mines way better than xbman
As I said I don't post here strategies if you don't ask me that, unlucky as xbman that posted my strategies without asking me that. I put here only eireksten strategies because others wanted to. I will see the strategy later maybe but I haven't understood it as well, or at least you should try that again and edit where it's wrong.
But who reads, whats been edited......
whos gonna read the whole thing for just like 1 or 2 sentences...
@Morte
Nice to come home from the holidays and see you updated your archieve
good job
If you were complaining, well, nobody sent me strategies and I can't add everything, then, stop complaining, I will add strategies if needed or asked by others.@Morte
Nice to come home from the holidays and see you updated your archieve
good job
I'm asking you to add mine then.
Ok, I'll add it, but you should maybe try to refine it about anti-rushing. I tried it with some differences and I had like 1100 science per turn or more by 1300-1400 AD, or perhaps 1600, I don't remember now.

@morte
actually it was a compliment, but i will stop comment your posts if you take that as a complaint
this archieve is dying......lol
Well, every time it seems you keep insulting me, then I didn't know what you were going to do. Then thanks.@morte
actually it was a compliment, but i will stop comment your posts if you take that as a complaint
The archive needs good strategies, it's not dying
yesssss....mine!!!...lol, you dont need any permission, or any signatures from me...
As I told you, your strategies don't seem to be really strategies, only to understand what you can do with them. If you want, if you edit your strategies I can add them here, but I would like to have good written strategies with a little of details
Just make a new section called "Understanding of Civilization bonuses". Or something like that. The one HGB wrote about the English was pretty good.As I told you, your strategies don't seem to be really strategies, only to understand what you can do with them.

eieksten, wrote his strategies the same way.....
yup, and those strats are ok, but it really is just an overview of the positives and minuses of the civ and an explaination of era bonuses. There is a little more in both of you guys' strats than that, but I like b-mans and mortes because their's attempt to make unique strats with the undertstanding of the bonuses.
That's not always applicible to each civ or strat, it gets old reading "make two warriors, then switch to food....", but I tend to learn a little more about civs with this kind of strat.
the expaination of bonuses and overview like you and erikestien write saves players from those intial trial and error attempts when you're getting to know the civ, but don't always provide a clearer view on how to play with them. there are unique things in your strats HGB, you're French strat is unusual in that you focus primarily on grabbing land with cultural borders and building landlocked cities, and that's great... just stating my personal preference.
so does that mean he should put them!?!?!?
one day ill make a spanish guide!!
can you link the zulu strategy to this post
thanks
What zulu strategy? I don't see any links.
sorry my bad, the first page says Zulu x1
under availabel strats.
this is an awesome resource. no zulu, indian, or spanish on here. the spanish have been getting more love lately. i know there are a few decent strats for them. we need a good indian strat.
I think Morte will put up my Spanish strat here.
About an Indian strategy
I have thought of doing an Indian strat but due to their bonuses its not much to say about them though. Having acces to all resources at the beginning is great but other from taking advantig from this and place cities close to those resources there is not much else to say about that. The thing about not being effected from anarchy is also nice. And when playing them one should use this and can switch from example democracy back to republic for one turn later in game for a secon expanding boost. Also use this to be able to declare war at the AI when fitts for taking cities/settlers from him. Because usualy when finally in democracy ones tend to stick to it and not declare war because of the anarchy penalty. Late in game it can also be nice to switch to communism and have a short building phase..
Hmm.. when I think more of it maybe there is enough to say about them to write a strat..
hehe..
Well, I put your strategy maybe yesterday. However, I don't think there are really good strategies for indians. One could be enough.I think Morte will put up my Spanish strat here.

Yea.. I agree..
And thx for putting the Spanish strat in the archive..
If you have nice strategies to put here send me the links. At the moment I'm looking for the new strategies opened here, but I should have to choose because there are more than only one
