I have a question about multiplayer compatibility among the numerous different releases of ciV: I have the Steam special edition with Babylonian civilization included, and I play against my friend who bought the pressed DVD version. Will I be able to play as Babylon against my friend online...

The Roman leader is not Julius Caesar, but Augustus Caesar.

I played 6 turns into this game. So far I have leveraged the hunting technology A LOT. Turn 2: With the starting scout, I popped the hut, getting another scout. Turn 4: The new scout learned the secrets animal husbandry in a village (made possible by hunting). I can soon eat beef. :p Turn...

I have another optimisation suggestion: When spiritual, you may spend 5 turns in Nationhood, and then switch back to other civics. During these 5 turns, I'd like to whip consecutively in the GTdraft city, while growing back to original size during the 5 to 10 turns that I'm running other...

Maybe he was talking about spies, where you want them to skip five turns before activating again. This would be very nice as a feature.

^^ sabotage them beforehand using spies?!

I didn't read all of the previous posts, so I don't know if this has already been said... I think the proper solution to this problem would be to allow a non-blitz unit only one attempt pet turn of pillaging patrolled sea-resources. If it has moves remaining, it can still pillage unguarded...

What I'd like to try once, is to: 1. Start a single player game in hotseat mode. 2. Eventually found a colony. 3. Assume control of both my original Civ, and my colony. Does anyone know if this is possible? I don't like how the AI governors give away my monopoly techs, and maps. I don't...

The reason to built frigates and SotLs should be primarily to protect your economical interests during the colonial age. The problem is that in this version, there are no threats. What is lacking is a more aggressive approach by the AI towards your trade vessels. Also, I find a barbarian...

I made a dotmap for the western peninsula: Copper dot: Copper/Wheat city: one NE of the copper After Medina is taken, the west is cut off and can be settled at will: Golden dot: Gold/Marble/Wheat city 1 SW of Marble. Light blue dot: Fish/Spice city 1NW of fish. Dark blue dot: Fish/Cow...

Reached checkpoint one 2850 BC. Monarch/Epic.

I read somewhere on the forums that a hospital in a city is also increasing unit healing. If so, can anyone confirm this and tell me the rate of healing added?

Another leader with good traits and Uniques for this kind of strategy would be Sitting Bull. With protective you can build castles faster if you want them in the short period of availability. His protecive Totem Pole boosted archers are good in defensive wars and give you general points as...

I notice the water textures look much better! :)

Three actually: Corn, Dyes and Horses. It might pop up some late game strategic resources like coal, oil, alluminum or uranium. I'm very surprised to see that peak right next to Amsterdam. I didn't know those can appear in the BFC, or the ring directly around it. I'd say your island is okay...
