Yes, another bunch appear on the map visible only to the Civ's that have unlocked the policy as far as I've seen. They get a blue antiquity icon. The number remaining of the normal and hidden is somewhere on the culture information screen.

Any news on this one? Still got a couple of G&K Victory achievements waiting in the wings...

Brazil and Poland I've won with Cultural so far. Theming bonus and the right ideologies plus diplomats for the stubborn rivals won it for Poland but Brazil was a juggernaut once the difficult early game was out of the way and the infrastructure was in place. Plus using the Pracinha's against an...

Lizzy, Bizzy. And Napoleizzy. I rarely leave my borders unchecked if I'm near any of those, no matter how friendly they pretend to be.

Always ally with William, Theodora, Ramkhamhaeng, Kamehameha, Wu Zeitan. Everyone else I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them. Particularly Elizabeth, Napoleon and Alexander!

Sid.... Cue the Homer gurgle. One day I aim to do it. A lot of my inspiration for climbing up the difficulties comes from Arathorns Always War victory on Sid! An absolute quality win that was and comprehensive too on such a difficult level I thought. Check it out...

I think Winston Churchill or Elizabeth should be the English leaders. Is Civ4 going to give optional m/f leaderheads within the game then? @Doc - re: Muhammed. Yes you are right no pictures are allowed of him. That didn't stop Matt n Trey in the Super Best Friends episode of South Park...

Good stuff Sandman. Looking forward to the next one!!

Thanks Ginger_ale I'll try and reset it all to defaults but before I changed the civ colours, I did rename the old .biq file and have tried re-applying that. I'd assume it's the same thing as defaults but THEN, maybe my old biq file was fiddled with.... :mischief: Cheers! Mevlin

Hi all, My hi-score table doesn't seem to record any victories anymore. I know (for me anyway) that scenario's will not record but I've been playing and winning bog-standard games with no mods and it still will not save. I did edit the civ3.biq file to change the colours of the civs but I've...

Nice one Sandman! You inspired me to go and win my first Monarch Pangea map thanks to this. Never was able to win a Pangea before!

Hi, This one must have been brought up before but I was thinking a good scoring bonus could be a peacekeeping functionality? Say if 2 Civs are at war and it's beneficial for you to have them at peace (IE you want them to vote for you in the UN and one of them is about to be wiped out ;) )...

I remember being about 8 or 9 years old when my stepdad brought home a game with a city pic above a buried statue. Now at the time we were hooked on simcity so this was a new lease of life altogether. Now I'm still hooked. Sid Meier is a genius

I don't upgrade very much unless I build Leonardo's Workshop. If I don't then I tend to just use the 'old hat' as cannon fodder or to pick off enemy loose units and just build a whole new bunch of units. Leo's makes all the difference IMO

Superb idea, especially like the idea of whirlpools. And yes Deserts/Tundra should be a nightmare for troops unless they are experienced.
