These are just my random thoughts. Feel free to comment. 1. I think that of all the civs so far, I like Civ 2 the most. I can't explain it in words, but I just have the most fun and enjoyment from Civ 2, and I can play from start to end without getting bored. With the more current Civs, I...

Ohh one more thing, in one of my Rhye games, the idiotic arabia declared war on me India, so I did a sort of Blitzkrieg and capture 4 cities in one turn. From "unstable" they went into "collapsing" Hahaha!!

Germany not interested in Britain? Wow, not that I've read. Well I guess its because its easier for the Germans to go by land and use their tanks in their Blitzkrieg, rather than to transport troops by sea (remember that they have to face the British Navy). Anyway, I don't need to modify the...

I agree that the years can be turned into months, or even weeks perhaps. I mean it only takes a week to move troops around a country right? I am also aware of many other WW2 scenarios out there, but i'm hoping for one which is made specially for Rhye's mod, and with certain customized events...

Hello everyone, I'm teaching History classes to teenagers in school, and well Civ 4 is one of my favourite games, esp. the Rhye's mod, because it mimics world history fairly closely. So now the kids are on the topic of World War 2. My idea is to have (using Rhye's Mod), a customized WW2...

Okay thanks, that seems pretty standard, but how about windmills and watermills? when to use them?

I'm stuck here.... should I automate my workers? Let me try and present both sides of the argument. 1. It takes the load off you to do anything. 2. Sometimes I don't know what improvements to put, maybe the AI can do it better. 3. Once you have too many workers, managing them becomes a...

I've been doing some modern warfare recently, and I've thought of a more refined way to fight wars. It is called Advance & Cover, because basically you have one group of offensive units, and a large group of defensive units. What happens is that your offensive units are used only to take...

Have any of you actually signed MPPs for a purpose? Everytime the AI asks me to sign an MPP, I always have this irrational fear that they are preparing for war and want to drag me into it, so I do not sign it. How can you use MPPs effectively to protect yourself? Anyone have any experience...

By building and storing lots of nuclear missiles, does it scare the AI civs as though you have a big army? i.e. You are less likey to get bullied. I mean just as in real life, how countries build nuclear weapons but do not use them. They just build a large stockpile to scare others. So does...

This Civ3 dream of mine happened a long time ago, but I remember it because it was quite funny. In my dream, I was the commander of a worn out company, and the Russians were approaching the base which my company just took over (which was my school in real life) with tanks. Determined not to...

Oh, forgot about the funny pictures thread.... I'm not exactly sure how to move it in there. Can a moderator help me? Thank you!

Horse 1: "I wouldn't let the farmer get fresh with us ,especially when he's carrying a mace." Horse 2: "Yeah, tell him to quit horsing around."

Thanks everybody for your advice. Looks like I've been missing out on building the catherdals: I didn't know about +50% culture, that seems like a very powerful tool. I have one question though, If I am not able to found many religions, how can I get the AI to send his missionaries to my...

Yea, I played on a small map on noble and did exactly the same thing. It was my first ever win on the game! But I have to agree with mujadaddy not to lose your iron city, or the iron resource for that matter. I was sending my praetorians out to attack the enemy cities when an AI unit came to...
