What difficulty does everyone play on?
After beating the game soundly a few times on King difficulty. (Archipelago map, start in Renaissance, play as England, small map 6 civ/12 city states), I'm trying a game at Emperor difficulty (everything else is the same). Not going quite so well this time - I've managed to keep everyone friendly that I want, but it's now 2011, and I've only managed to take one capital, and I'm in third place in points (though not behind by much). I'm probably going to have to settle for a time victory (domination and time are the only victory conditions) - if I can manage to catch up.
I fell behind for awhile in the technology race for a bit, and was only able to get 4 uranium from a captured city. I hate getting screwed on resources. I also realized before I first went to war that a time victory was my most realistic option so I went after the strongest civ - who was far stronger than myself - but it took a great many turns to turn the war in my favor. (Note to self - fire your Military Advisor. What a pussy.)[/u]
