aaaaargh, it seems mine raid is gone! On it stands: GOTM13 and GOTM14 with a good start. A good thing I've this baby now but it S..KS! Starting again and only 14 days left for me! (after X-mas to Poland) Intresting, next year I can do a comparison when the p4 1.6@2.4 is fixed and this one...

I posted mine before I left for Mexico nov. the 16th. I can't see my name in the list????

Lets begin We are on a large island with: Russians, Persians, Zulus and Egyptians. Only one option: we have Jaguar warriors so Golden Age comes fast, have to finish this game quickly (because I'm and Spice-girl are heading for Mexico on the 15th (how appropiate )). So I've gotta finish this...

the best I've ever read from you,only one icon (smiley) is appropiate (5 to be specific) Please continue with your saga Zachriel

It's not powerfull at all, it's very fast absolute. On Deity it isn't even nessecairy. You need your attention on the more important wonders, imho the Hanging Gardens is the most underestimated Wonder especially on Deity-level.

In the other thread about an exploit it's about blocking. In the game I'm playing the Persians destroy the Babylonians. It's around 1300 AD and I'm already too late for early domination I wanne go on for Spacerace/Diplo or Cultural Victory. With two goals: not becoming dominant and keeping a...

An other way of using blocking is the encircle(ment) manoeuvre. In mine GOTM the Persians swallow up the Babylonians and swerm into mine homelands. The force is to big to attack and if I ask them to leave they declare war! Totally it's a number of 30 knights/immortals. With the help of mine...

I used the search but I still couldn't find a solution. In march I posted in some treads which handled slow gameplay. I concluded mine procesor wasn't up to it (Duron 800@1000) Ok, it's almost september and I bought a pentium IV 1.6A which runs at 2.5 MHz. I didn't play the last months...

20-30 seconds is very fast, mine is growing to 5 minutes, it was bigger but i gained some speed with making the pagfile very small (64 mb, i have 768 mb onboard) divided in to two segments which are on partitions who don't have an OS installed. Maybe its even better to make it smaller and/or...

From da lowlands!

ok, I changed mine videocard, I bougt a matrox 550, no difference but very handy so i can play civ on monitor one and the other stuff on monitor 2. To the point, mentioned in other post i promised some tests. I installed I) Bysoft Freeram. The ram was never a problem, BUT the cpu-load rose...

Right, i was playing my second game on deity level, the first one i couldn't finish much harder then civ2 and I had to find out about luxury resources, culture. The second game palying was on a new map and better but very difficult to compete with the ai. In the meanwhile i was reading this...

our chinese president is right, in some cases it works. I'ld go one stap further. I've moved al mine units and i press enter. I watch the result and somethings don't work out fine. Back to the save game i rush build a courthouse in koningsberg. Noway in the neighbourhood of any fighting and...

Mentioned above, The first turns very quickly to a very low pace, now 90 bc, it takes op to 3-4 minutes for a turn to finish after enter. And it's noway mine system! duron(800@1000) 768 mb 45 GB harddisk geforce MX 2(210/220) everything is updated nvidia 23.1 via 4.36 altered page-file...

two reasons: 1) to keep up the tech race with the ai 2)to have a good income per turn So you can put your efforts on beaten the ai, the weakest first. By blocking strategic resources like horses and salpeter you can improve your units and the ai can't. While doing this i'm trying to create a...
