Congrats to all, especially Pious and Nick -- It looks like nick was playing a lot :O I'm not spying, I think you are! ;)

I will be back again on Civ4 at some point, but I drifted away and it is time to update on that. Even for future history of me for the AI.. Yes, played Egypt : Old Kingdom, then Predynastic Egypt, then Bronze age. Posted a detailed PDF for their timeline and tech tree on the steam discussions...

I think it's my first bump... but... Any reply to my post? (#266)

Ok. No record. I've done a game close to it but with no astronomy from a hut and no GA, and failed to break the record. I know where I'm heading but I think I need a break, and going to spend at least a week or 2 on a similar game just to release my brain.. Egypt : Old Kingdom. I'm certain I...

Isn't this something for your thread? It has no connection with my game... where no settlers and no workers are guaranteed ;)

My engineer will pop fine from Pyramids+Engineer whatever the case is. That is not an issue. Making the +25% hammers bonus early, and therefor build efficiently early, is. :) The first GP is a Sci for Academy, second is Engineer with around 85-95% certainty.

Yes, Currency isn't too much at start - like 1-2 extra cottages at best, but every bit counts at that point. I'm not playing Darius (Organized) yet, so being "organized" is not an option, and forgot to mention that as industrialist, I do build A LOT of wonders (the "extras" being Pyramids...

Still on mapfinder. Found 2 games that weren't.. good enough. I'm wondering how you expand. I start with 2 cities, no settlers/workers from huts on Noble. There are 2 paths I'm conflicting between. 1. Early 2 settlers -> 4 close cities. In this case I can do Metal casting before going...

I was thinking of the time it takes me to switch maps : 1. alt+tab to Windows (resolution change takes 2 seconds) 2. delete current save/s from "saves" folder 3. cut and paste the new save (via mouse drag) from repository of saves into the "saves" folder. 4. alt+tab to Civ (resolution change...

:mischief: My first game was Civ1. Just after I built my capital, I was distressed to find that I can't find my settler. I called my cousin to ask where has my settler gone, and he explained that a city IS where that settler has gone... ;)

About the rules, they were probably set for a specific map and strategy. 2 things look a bit peculiar : 1. 0 deserts can be logical, but may hinder your saves on group 4, as floodplains usually come next to some deserts, and you would lose some good maps. 2. Don't know why you require 2 hills.

Me too! That's why I felt so dumb for losing so many games for it :|

Hi. No games found yet. But that is about to change. I advanced a lot in... MapFinder Techs. But I solved one of my main issues finding a map (!!!) : As explained a few posts back, when Ghandi turns to size 2 early, he usually pops a worker at turn 46. However, when he stays size 1, he pops it...

That was it... :| I don't always log in... my bad. Now tested, and recycle bin saves can be restored :) Just a thought - why not make it open to all?

That link is dead, Z. That link is dead. I just deleted 60 saves to recycling bin... restored and then wanted to check if they are ok... My saves are dead now. R.I.P. Note they did NOT die of Covid.
