I understand the bit where you go from having shed-loads of cash to having none but how did you get the cash back again so quickly? The purples do the same thing. And can you teach the real world how to do it as well, please.
The map you were playing on looks very sparse in terms of how much land there was. Was that deliberate to keep the game (relatively) manageable?

I can't work out how it works out its numbers, because they're way, way high for things like gold, which suggests they use a multiplier, but it's still useful for seeing how much more you produced than anyone else. It could just be your gross amount of gold (or maybe just "commerce") rather than net. The gold that goes into your treasury is gold produced - gold spent every turn on unit and building upkeep, after all. Have I mentioned that this was an impressive win? Well, this was an impressive win. Have one of these boys: :thumb:

I played my first game of Civ Rev on the middle (King) difficulty yesterday. AI no play nice I believe that result qualifies as EPIC WIN and lulz.

Was that deliberate to keep the game (relatively) manageable? Nope - I actually don't like island games, because I really don't like having to build a navy - it's something I've always struggled with in Civ and found that I end up behind everyone else on the tech tree because I'm building canoes. I picked "Erebus", which is the world in which the Fall From Heaven paper and dice game is set, with everything else set to average - the same settings I used for the Amurite game and in that one there was one large continent with a few satellite islands a bit smaller than the one I started on in this game. Oh and the gold; all you have to do is not produce any goods or research anything and you too can be rich.

If only in life getting rich was as simple as doing nothing.
