That's a good point. When I have the game loaded up, I can be doom-and-gloom about the smallest things going wrong, but within a few hours I can distance myself from it and be happy about the experience we're all sharing. Sometimes I want the win, sometimes I want to tackle xist and drag us both down to 4th place, and sometimes I'm just positive about the game overall (but not the pace - a month of warfare is draining!)
I can't tell you how rare this is for a green player. It took me GAMES and GAMES before I could gain tough enough skin to just move on.
Q1) Glances around about things I should have done T30. Yes yes I do.
- Events.
- BORDERS. And scouting. DEAR GOD LOOK AT THE SITUATION BEFORE STARTING TO DO THINGS!!!! Have I been burned by this. Yes.
- Not as relevant in this time period, but quick quick glance at demos and graphs (and pbspy if playing pts on) can help you know if an attack is coming.
- THINK. Early on and in single player we are so used to just starting to play our turns. You are well past that stage.
Q2) At one point CtH had ability to go into a file in civ folder and copy the combat log. I actually don't know if this is still a thing or not. There were some issues with. I don't believe so on events log, but someone else may know.
Q3) I sadly have never really messed around with; maybe someone else knows.
I am really getting PB66 vibes where #2 dragged down #1 allowing others to catch up and they never could be bothered to get off their butts. Now here I fully expect Coldrain to attack you again despite you giving him his city back that he should have demanded from Xist the first time he helped him......
