I am starting to feel like I am the only one, but we will see. Everyon keeps saying they are too busy for CIV. Too busy, what a lame excuse.
I posted a message right after I received my BLOG invitation...I had forgotten about the Civ blog...sorry
Ok...I starting playing Game 4 and it seems that I am having trouble with corruption with a Republic gov't. Now I have built some courthouses and currently building my forbidden palace. Is there anything else I am missing? I am experiencing a several case of Civ-rust......
Hey Kev, How did you create the post? Did you go to www.blogger.com and log in, or what. That is how I do it, but I was not sure if there was another way.
Here were some of my suggesions for Gary
1) don't build courthouses unless the corruption savings will offset the cost of the courthouse.
OK, what does that really mean? A courthouse cost 1 gpt as maintenance, so if you assume that the the courthouse will reduce 33 of your corruption (depends...) don't build a courthouse in a city that has less than 3 commerce of corruption.
Next, never build a courthouse in your capital.
2) You need to build Marketplaces to help your money problems. Ditto for Libraries and science.
3) Not so subtle hint....explore in ALL directions.
4) OK, worker actions, irrigate brown, mine green. If a city is all of one or the other you should have about 2-3 exceptions to that rule. Mountains cities (or cities with a lot of hills) need extra irrigation.
5) Build Temples in cities before courthouses.
6) Luxury % of 30 this early is wasting more gold then you are helping. The distant cities that are really being helped by this just create entertainers and build temples. These cities will take a while before they are really useful.
7) Trade, if you have Currency and they have Construction and it will take you 9 turns to research it, just trade.
8) You are doing a good job of expanding so keep it up.
9) OK, back to the luxury thing, you will have construction, because you have only 1 luxury, Colisuems are a must.
10) You may be at war with the Russians, but you can ignore them. They won't be able mount an assault at this point of the game.
11) You do have a pretty good army, so build up your cities.
You aren't that rusty, but these are little things that will help you.
