And they couldn't even code the AI to understand Naval Attrition, so it has never suffered from it. Which is why you'll see Croatia blockading your port in Cuba for literally no reason and without Quest for the New World. bUt MuH pArAdOx Don't even get me started on the HOI 2 -> 3 -> 4 debacle.

Some good points in this thread, but there's one thing that sticks out in my mind that no one's really mentioned. Vorlon pointed out that all this alphabet soup economy arguing happened in 2006 and 2007, which is when the game was still brand new. We were all traumatised from Alpha Centauri and...

Thanks for the script, Mr Mordhau

Apple also has no qualms about immediately antiquating their hardware (hello, FireWire), so should we be surprised at the ruthless improvement of software?

You could have the civilizations gets specific, unique bonuses from civics. An East Asian culture running Caste System could have a reduced food cost to grow cities, for example. An Eastern European civilization would not get this extra bonus. Instead, if they ran Serfdom, their units could have...

Yes, some events exist in the code but the triggers are either absent or impossible to fulfill.

Civ 2 was odd. Trade was a tile yield that only naturally spawned on water tiles. Rivers added a single instance of trade. Roads also added a single instance of trade, which lead to the road-everywhere phenomena that became a mainstay of the series. Trade routes also existed, but were completely...

I know I've said this before, but Tokugawa has the best trait set possible. Learn to play competent with him, and realize that traits aren't necessary to perform well. Reminds me of a game a long time ago where obsolete and Dave played the same map as Huayna on Immortal (Diety maybe?). They both...

CIV4EventTriggerInfos.xml contains a tag that defines in what per-cent of games an event will spawn. f.e. for the common event Motherlode!!! <Type>EVENTTRIGGER_MOTHER_LODE</Type> [...] <iPercentGamesActive>90</iPercentGamesActive> <iWeight>200</iWeight> 90% of games will...

In August of 2005, Firaxis Games was purchased by publishing giant Take-Two Interactive. Firaxis was a privately held company with the goal of providing a livelihood and meaning for its owners and employees, and accomplished that by producing a quality product with talented developers. Take-Two...

Mills would be stellar on this map too. Interesting, there was so little production this ended up not being fun.

Philosophical and Creative are great boosters for science, because of the double speed on both Libraries and Universities. With that in mind, the Koreans give the Saewoon (University) which boasts a 35% bonus to science instead. Strong(er) but not great by any means. And the unique unit is of...

Smiregal, you can find the downloads on the Mod page of the HOF sub-site: http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ4/mod.php Scroll down about 1/3rd of the page, and there is a secion titled: Sid Meier's Civilization 4 - Beyond the Sword - BUFFY Download [...] Previous BUFFY Versions These are provided...

I like razing very high culture cities. Especially holy cities. And capitals. And corporation headquarters. :devil: And the Apostolic Palace. And the Oracle when I was 2 turns away from hitting the Civil Service slingshot in 800 BC, Ramesses. One thing you can do if you run Caste System is run...
