Hey Endure, Looks like you, Bona, and Homan hit it on the head then...that must have been the case...Damned Zulu's! :) I don't know if I'd say 'progress' persay, baby steps ya know... Thanks to all as always... Cheers, Mark

Oh, I was just trying to sumise why I might have lost the chance at the tech halfway through...I thought it was because the only thing that changed from one turn to the next was that I lost two cities... In one of those cities I know I had a great person and he 'might' have been the one I...

Well Homan...what half of what I said makes no sense? I don't really know that I said more than one thing, so I'm a bit confused as to why you're confused. I started the Manhattan Project, and half way through, it ended. Why? That's my question...there isn't two parts. Cheers, Mark

Hey all, I was rolling on King level yesterday, on my way to the Manhattan Project and was going to use that to decimate one of the two remaining AI's that I hadn't conquered yet (was pretty excited as many of you know I was having a hard time making the jump from Warlord to King), and all of...

Hello All, WOW! Thanks for all the tips and hints and what not...I'm going to print them and try to see what comes of it in my ensuing games. I'm on King right now and have lasted and faired the best ever to date by just taking more time to build science and worry about defense first...I...

Hello Sneerk: City management I think is the key I'm missing...I think I've always been so production heavy to pump out the most armies and such, that I didn't pay much attention to the other stuff. In Chieftain and Warlord, you can get away with that. Great advice, I will pay more...

Hello All, For those of you who have been following my virginal introduction to this 'time suck' we call Civ, I wanted to ask you all the following question? In your opinion, what seperates a good Civ Rev player from a great Civ Rev player? Reason I ask is I can win confidently on...

Hey Psi, Well, you are more brave than I...I'm still sticking with Warlord, for one more game. I'm winning on that level, but not too pretty. I got smacked around pretty good on King, so I know that I'm not ready for the big leagues yet! Good luck to you, and to the contrary, your...

Hey Bis, Ueber sweet...thanks! Both make total sense now...There is a whole bunch I'm not taking full advantage of, due to the fact that I just don't know... Gotcha thanks! Mark

Although any naval unit, save the sub, will transport all of your units, I think it's best to not put all your eggs in one basket incase you get attacked and you've a bunch of built up army units in a galley or something... This is of course coming from a Noob of all Noob's, so I could be...

@Bismark... Could you differentiate a 'resource tile' from food producing tiles, or hammer producing tiles, or gold producing time that I see? Is a 'resource tile' something different? You mention that the spot where they place you first don't seem to have the amount of 'resource...

'Fat Cross'? Sorry, this term is thrown around a lot, and it seems important...anything to do with city development is important, imvho at least. Thanks!

Hey Fish, That makes a ton of sense, thanks! Just presumed that if they showed up, you had to place them there... This game just gets more and more in depth as the days go by...great fun! Cheers, Mark

Hey Ziv, Thanks for the note back, seems like you are far more knowledgeable than I, so I do appreciate your thoughts. I'm only 2.5 games into this entire genre of games, so believe me, when I say noob, I mean NOOB! :) Cheers, Mark P.S. I'm on PS3; however, I'm eqknix on Xbox...

Thanks Fish and Bona...much appreciated advice! I didn't realize that I could move the great people. The box always says, 'Hey, here is so and so...do you want to get 50% better this, or finish x'. So, you can say no to both and move them to another city where he/she may benefit said city...
