8:58 PM - Q.: prince = AI standard difficulty
8:58 PM - Blue Jay: SO WHAT SHOULD I CHOOSE
8:58 PM - Q.: anything below you get bonuses and the AI won't declare lame wars on you
8:58 PM - Q.: so settler
8:58 PM - Q.: because otherwise, for not having an army you'll be declared war on
8:58 PM - Q.: for not having x resources, war
8:59 PM - Q.: ai is dumb passed chieftain personally
8:59 PM - Blue Jay: wow!
8:59 PM - Blue Jay: okay start!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:59 PM - Blue Jay: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8:59 PM - Q.: When you start, you'll have a settler. Found a city and start building Units (Scouts to find ruins, ruins give you bonuses quick.)
8:59 PM - Q.: Or buildings (Monument to build culture, which if you get enough gives you a bonus)
9:00 PM - Blue Jay: sounds confusing
9:00 PM - Blue Jay: WHERE ARE YOU AT
9:00 PM - Q.: if you're going to just keep trolling jay I can just go back to my single player >.>
9:00 PM - Blue Jay: no i seriously dont understand any of this
9:01 PM - Q.: That's why I'm trying to help <.<
9:01 PM - Q.: So, you get a science and an object to construct right away once you found your city
9:01 PM - Q.: Click on the science bubbley thing
9:01 PM - Q.: and open the tech tree
9:01 PM - Blue Jay: uh

9:01 PM - Q.: did you found a city
9:02 PM - Q.: Click your settler and then on the left there is an action pane to do stuff with it
9:02 PM - Q.: you can move him, found a city, or just idle
9:02 PM - Q.: (get a city)
9:04 PM - Q.: If you click sciences at random, that's fine too; but eventually you should see that certain ones give you certain things that help
9:04 PM - Q.: like world wonders or culture or horsies
9:04 PM - Blue Jay: its not really letting me do anything
9:04 PM - Q.: so did you move your settler already
9:04 PM - Blue Jay: it wont let me
9:04 PM - Q.: did you click him

9:08 PM - Q.: you have no choice but to end turn then

9:13 PM - Q.: because that might be
9:13 PM - Q.: a big hint
9:13 PM - Q.: to what you need to do
9:13 PM - Q.: >just a guess<
9:13 PM - Blue Jay: doesnt seem to be saying anything

9:13 PM - Blue Jay: but isnt saying anything
9:13 PM - Q.: can you screenshot your screen

9:15 PM - Q.: when you press screenshot it saves it locally on your computer
9:15 PM - Q.: at least, it should
9:15 PM - Blue Jay: yeah i know
9:15 PM - Blue Jay: lets see
9:16 PM - Q.: Oh and that blue thing on the bottom flashing is saying it's still you in your turn
9:16 PM - Blue Jay: http://puu.sh/azAPa.jpg

9:17 PM - Q.: /facedesk
9:17 PM - Blue Jay: god damn
9:17 PM - Blue Jay: did you know i dont actually have eyes
9:17 PM - Q.: that's the same thing I sent you jay
9:17 PM - Q.: saying end turn
9:17 PM - Blue Jay: yes
9:17 PM - Blue Jay: but i didnt SEE that
9:18 PM - Q.: at first I was confused why you chose the literal same team rather than allies
9:18 PM - Q.: now I see that this is a piggy back session
9:18 PM - Q.: k
9:18 PM - Q.: c:
9:18 PM - Q.: SO NOW
9:18 PM - Q.: CLICK YOUR SETTLER
9:18 PM - Q.: DON'T TELL HIM TO MOVE
9:18 PM - Q.: NO MOVING
9:18 PM - Q.: AT ALL
9:18 PM - Q.: DON'T DO IT
9:18 PM - Blue Jay: OK
9:18 PM - Q.: OK
9:18 PM - Q.: NOW
9:18 PM - Q.: IN THE BOTTOM LEFT
9:18 PM - Q.: YOU SEE THAT LITTLE VERTICLE COLUMN OF COMMANDS THAT APPEAR?
9:18 PM - Q.: YEAH
9:18 PM - Q.: TOP ONE
9:18 PM - Q.: THE CITY LOOKING ONE
9:18 PM - Q.: CLICK IT
9:19 PM - Q.: if you don't know what things do hover your mouse over it
9:19 PM - Q.: you will literally be given a box saying 'THIS DOES THIS'
9:19 PM - Q.: now
9:19 PM - Q.: you have a choice
9:19 PM - Q.: you can build a monument to start farming culture (points that let you brag how cool you are and unlock perks for your empire)
9:19 PM - Q.: or you can build scouts to go and find ruins and draw the map for you
9:19 PM - Q.: you can also meet the other civs, allowing you to trade
9:20 PM - Q.: on your warrior you can tell him to manually explore each turn, or you can automate him by expanding your options
9:21 PM - Q.: at the top left, I'll explain some icons you may see
9:21 PM - Q.: the blue beaker is science per turn, the more science the faster you'll research new technology
9:21 PM - Q.: gold should be obvious, it's currency that lets you buy units, land, and upgrade old units
9:21 PM - Q.: happiness is (if you mouse over it it is more detailed) everything right and wrong with your empire, and the more you have the better
9:22 PM - Q.: if you have little to no happiness, all other aspects are affected and will slow down
9:22 PM - Q.: so keep people happy with resources like Dyes, Sugar, Gold (mines), Silver (mines), ect.
9:22 PM - Q.: The one next to happiness is your happiness counter, once it maxes out you get a reward
9:22 PM - Q.: then the culture counter, same thing
9:23 PM - Q.: and faith counter, once you get 20 you get a parthenon (minor religion that gives you a bonus), and once you reach 200+ you get a religion that you can spread to everyone else
9:24 PM - Q.: early game is quick because one city doing production is all any player can do
9:24 PM - Q.: so it's just turn after turn c:
9:25 PM - Q.: when you get to a point where, say, your culture becomes 15/15
9:25 PM - Q.: you'll get a message and it'll appear on the right side in a bubble
9:25 PM - Q.: "ADOPT A POLICY"
9:25 PM - Q.: you click it and then pick your reward tree
9:26 PM - Q.: just like an MMO or RPG, you invest in which you feel gives you perks, and you can mouse over and see the general idea of what you're getting
9:27 PM - Q.: Do you see the ruins you are passing?
9:27 PM - Q.: Go to those, you'll get culture/faith/population bonuses
9:27 PM - Q.: or maybe a new unit
9:29 PM - Q.: I spawned in Britain and you got North America c:
9:30 PM - Q.: Territories with Black borders are City States, they aren't AI players, but they act like it and give you bonuses for being friends with them
9:31 PM - Blue Jay: eh
9:31 PM - Blue Jay: i kind of dont want to play anymore
9:31 PM - Q.: After the fiasco at the beginning I could tell >.>
9:31 PM - Q.: But thanks for trying any way jay
9:32 PM - Q.: even if you did just /o/ the whole way through~
