It was in up until Civ3 I believe. I *always* upgraded the ground first.

I'm just biased for Civ 2. (I still play it sometimes).

More than that, I miss your series of FMV advisers who offer suggestions with cheesy costumes and acting. Greek Elvis was awesome.

speaking of other things, what maps are the best? I find maps with too much water too imbalanced for the ai, but pangea is too spaced out and the 'improved' pangea hides all the CS off on random islands of the coast. Terra seems the best but in the end the new continent is generally useless or covered with 1-2 sized cities from the ai once they start their mass spam.

I like Continent Plus
It gets you 2 to 3 big continents with some islands formation.

What kind of map are you looking for ? I personally like Fractal or Continent /w Plus (and pangea of course).

Many I didn't try though.

Pangaea and Pangaea-plus is the way to go.

Continent is way too dice-rolling (GL if Hiawatha or Sejong is on his own island), while island maps are too easy.

For a true challenge, go Great Plains.

I've been playing almost exclusively terra, so its like a smaller pangea and then no one really uses the 'new world' plus a good nuber of CSs end up being there. I've been trying Pangea/Pangea plus but it seems like there is too much space on these maps, and on pangea plus all the CSs are again on the islands out of the way (is this supposed to keep me from stealing their workers? keep them safe from Mongolia?)

So Pangaea Plus is definitely harder than Pangaea, because the CS serve as good barriers against the AI. Unless, of course, if you want to play for Domination Victory (then it's the other way around).

Fractal is the only map type. Pangaea is for casuals.

Damn those 5 years of German in high school did me no good...

Is this a new tier of religion after enhanced ?

Piety now has a final upgrade called 'reformation' that lets you add more stuff to your beliefs to make it more relevant in later game. This way, picking rationalism isnt going to be an automatic move. Also, makes the Byzantines stronger with their extra belief -- assuming they can make a religion --

None of these seem even remotely good.

EDIT: Maybe except To the Glory of God.

using faith to buy research isnt good? and if you end up with a high enough faith bonus, using faith to buy modern units? And then there is the thing that lets you protect your religion from great prophet spam of the ai. Imo its a nice set of small bonuses that makes piety a more reasonable option

Venice might as well go Piety first.
