I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for new civilizations for Civ4. One i would choose would be The Macedonians. They would be a Militaristic and Agricultural civilization, and there special unit would be, of course, the Pike Phalanx, replacing the swordsman as a 3/4/1

The Longbowman was what allowed the English to become the kings of the battlefield in medievil europe. The English, during there invasion of France, were outnumbered sometimes as much as 5-1, but the Longbowmen allowed them to tear apart enemy formations from a long distance. Oh, BTW, this is...

Here is a good idea: Assimilation If you completely conquer a rival civ, you can assimilate one of their traits onto your Civ. Say if Rome conquers Greece, Rome is Militaristic and Commercial, while Greece is Scientific and Commercial, Rome could assimilate the Greek scientific trait...

Legionaries are better in both offense and defense, when fighting their cousin, the Immortal. The Legion has a slightly higher percentage of beating an immortal while attacking then the Immortal has attacking the Legion. It is basically a matter of preference. Winner=Legion :)...

A good strategy for Rome is to build a huge number of Legionaries before researching fuedalism, then start building Medievil infantry. Voila, A 4/2/1 Attacking unit for dislodging pikemen, and a 3/3/1 defender to prevent Knight and Medivil Infantry attacks, with the ability to finish off wounded...

I find warriors are the next best thing to useless. I never use them, and i only build them as a last resort.

Legion. 3/3/1 vs a 4/2/1 is kinda iffy, but, the Legion wins in my mind be cause of greater versatility. An Immortal might win in open field, but the odds are very close, with only a few percentage points away from being dead even, but when an immortal attacks a Legion in a city, hill, or...

All i mean is like Colonies maybe on the moon and mars, towards the end of the game. I don't care if it is mandatory or optional, simply because most games end before the modern age, few people would even end up playing unless they wanted to.

Name: Cataphract Unique unit for Persians or Byzantines, if they ever include them Replaces Knight, requires Chivalry A/D/M: 5/4/2, costs 50 shields. Requires: Iron, Horses Also, on the Modern Aircraft carrier thing, if it is in range of a Battleship, it can be bombarded to...

My unit Modern Aircraft Carrier A/D/M 3/16/8 Carries up to eight aircraft, can use fighters for point defense, adding to its defense value. Requires Uranium, Rubber, Aluminum Required tech Computers Any other ideas?

I believe that there should be at least one future age, preferably two, just to add more to the game. Post your thoughts

I originally posted this on the 'Civ4 Lounge & Ideas' thread. 1. Government: I believe that they should bring back the senate from CIv2. The Senate would be used to represent the peoples will in decisions, so if you go against the senate, you cause civil unrest. 2. Civil War: I think...

I think that the importance of navies should be improved also. They were next to useless. I think the AI should be given a big overhaul too. I'm playing a 8 civ game on pangea, with mutual protection pacts with everyone but the egyptians, and they decide to declare war on the me. Smart move.

I really hate them all, but especially Bismark. Every game i play, i end up fighting him, and, in the end, kicking his @ss. THe AI on the game must be improved! :die: Some times i just wanna kill the AI!

I know CtP sucked, and due to licensing issues, will probably never be another one. When i think of future age, i think more along the lines of SMAC, though not nescesarily on the exact same trap (that living planet stuff was kinda creepy:confused:.) Basically, it is just a logical advance on...
