Whats the way to make the religious pressure stronger? My cities are mostly pretty spread out, so I think thats probably the reason why my religion always gets "out-pressured". | ||

Besides purchasing units, for way more faith than their worth, that is about it seems. | ||

If the AI is spreading religion too fast, the best I can do is to pop a GP and bomb his cities - and that does not require wars at all. If the AI is trying to bomb my cities, then I just need to protect my capital better. | ||

1. As a little extra bonus if I get faith from a CS or a hut. Religious wars aren't worth it in this case, because my religion is not important to my strategy. 2. All-out religion to ensure a certain bonus, mostly with ICS, itinerant preachers/religious texts and a happiness boost such as the pagoda. Religious wars aren't worth it in this case, because I will spread my religion faster than anyone else. 3. With the Holy Warriors trait to get lots of units, mostly when I find a natural wonder with high faith production. Religious wars aren't worth it in this case, because I only care about my faith production and not the amount of boni i get from my religion. | ||

My game atm goes incredibly smooth, my very first War started in ~1830 and 2 turns in i got the first long range artillery... Which made stuff pretty easy/boring  . It's not really peacefull since than because everyone seems to fear me... Except the strongest AI which likes me for some reason :p.Could someone tell me some "averages" of what you should have at which age when you do "good"? | ||

Generally speaking (on Pangaea or Pangaea-like maps), Domination Victory: sub-200 is situational but doable; sub-250 is generally pretty good for a solid Domination Victory. Science Victory: generally speaking turn 225~250 is pretty good. Anything below 225 is IMO very good. Anything below 200 turns is godly. Diplomatic Victory: anything below turn 225 is very good. Cultural Victory: anything below turn 275 is fairly good. Simply winning via CV on Deity is very good. As far as the progress is concerned, generally you should benchmark the following: NC before Turn 100 Education before Turn 120 Public schools around Turn 150~160 (or slightly later if you are skipping Scientific Theory for Dynamite) Plastic around Turn 180~200 | ||

I really don't agree with your point that iron is not important in the current civ5. If you ever played on a map like small/large islands etc, you know that amount of iron you have is amost equal with your chance of winning the game. You can get Freggats pretty early, and they only get outdated with the arrivale of the submarine, which takes long to reach, and in case of a war even longer. I think a smarted idea would be that knights required horses and iron, thus lift the value of iron on land maps. I don't think in general it's not a horrible idea, to combine 2 strategic resources to a third, but practically, I wouldn't like to lose a game just because it's impossible to gain acess to one resource, and thus a 2nd. I would love if they would add interst to luxery goods, like making it optional to use gem to improve a unit of knights in a special way, same for silver/gold. So having gold up'ed knights would be quite fun :D | ||

On land maps, there is almost no point getting Swordsmen when you can wait a little more for Pikes. Also, Longswords are way too close to Muskets that I have never used them. Water maps, tbh, are rarely played by the community. For example, civfanatic's Deity Challenge maps are almost always pangaea maps and rarely water maps. One of the reasons is that island maps are way too easy (due to bad AI) while continent maps are too luck dependent (Hiawatha/Sejong on his own continent? GGWP) | ||

All you need are a couple of units of Iron, so you can build them in Samurais and upgrade into Muskets ASAP. You still want at least 6 iron so you can benefit from the free promotions for as long as possible. I agree though, the Swordsmen line is generally useless in this expansion until Musketmen. Therefore iron is only important if you're going for frigates. Another issue is that you have to research iron working before you can see iron on the map. Civs with a UU Swordsman are quite dependant on iron. If they spend their time researching iron working only to find out that there is no iron anywhere nearby then they're severely hamstrung. Imo iron should be revealed with bronze working so you can find out whether its feasible to research Iron Working at all. | ||

Easily gobble up a civ or 2 and set yourself up really nice. I am just playing a game where I did exactly that and rushed Siam who had like 22 pop Capitol on turn 100. Now I am spread a little too thin and in a war with Greece which determines the strongest player in the game. | ||
