I am actually still playing, Its one of the most fun games I have ever played, an expansionists dream. I am at turn 300, and I have 21 trade routes, each raking in over 40 gold, + another 5 in sci, cult, prod, faith, etc. When I used to come here in the Civ IV days, people would often play the...

Anyone else having this problem? Its happening constantly, and when it pops up, I have to click it off. Any typing I did when it pops up is stopped. Its annoying enough to drive me away.

WOW its been a long time since I checked this forum. I was a regular during the Civ IV days, and even ran some community games. I am up to Emperor on Civ VI, but I seem to only be able to win with a top leader on specific maps. Winning with Science seems impossible without first beating down...

I was pretty good at Civ IV. I was very active here, played and analyzed games, groups, etc. But 6 has me confused. Just a couple questions. How do you conquer cities, early, mid and late game? There arent "stacks" anymore, but whats the secret? Attacking, even early, seems futile. How does...

I am having trouble finding focus here. In Civ IV, which I played fanatically to the point that I started clubs on this forum, I could pull the threads together be in culture, science, military, resources, etc. Here I am confused, and I think my history of playing too much IV is hurting me. So...

Not really. Let me explain. Lately I have been playing quite a bit with Random Unrestricted Leaders. I also dont like having 2 or more Civs who are close in color, its just a PITA. So I have sort of figured out a way to combine them, and still get some of the "randomness" I am seeking, and...

OK, I know what you are all thinking, easy one, a no brainer, and you are right. Its a very strong pairing, but that can also be fun (for me anyway). The map is interesting, I am still not exactly sure what it is, used a random script with random Unrestricted Leaders. Here is the start and...

I am sure we have all noticed that new Field of View slider in the newest BUG. I love it, and adjust it regularly throughout the game to encompass the area of vision I want. But there seems to be a minor bug, that doesnt affect anything except visually. It occurs when you go into a City Screen...

Figured I would re-start my Unrestricted Leader games once I made the adjustment to Normal speed. I actually played half of a pretty cool one, Churchill of Babylon (in honor of troy, heh, PRO Bowmen with CHA promos) but it turned out to be a crappy map, so I made this one. As before, I use...

I have been playing Epic speed since I started. I was one of the folks who started getting into the World Builder files just so I could play the LHCs as Epic (my first was Gilgamesh, I won by Time/Score in 1910). I still think Epic is the "intended middle" of the spectrum, like Noble has easier...

Havent checked out this one yet, so if its not a great map, we can replace it or something. Title says it all: Lincoln of Egypt, Emperor level, Epic speed, Fractal map (low sea levels), Choose Religions, Unrestricted Leaders-

I know there are a lot of games on the board right now, always seems to be these days, but I thought what the heck. So I am posting this for others to try an Unrestricted Leader combo. Very casual game folks, play it, report if you want, whatever, its all for fun. I re-rolled random...

I always thought that if I used my own settler to found a city, I wouldnt ever get a Motherland :mad:, but apparently I am mistaken. I razed the city HC had here, and built my own right next to it to grab that "Local Legend" +2C tile in the BFC: But even though I used my own Settler, I still...

OK, now that I have tricked you into looking at this thread, please take a moment to follow me to the BUG board, and send those guys a massive note of thanks and praise. I started a thread to thank them myself, please feel free to tack on your own comments if you wish. BUG is something I...

Lately, I have become a "One-Board" guy. My homepage is Strats & Tips and I rarely wander away from there. I used to roam more, even here, but I dunno, lately it seems the only time I ever read another board on this site is if its linked in a post on Strats & Tips. So I wanted to come here...

I remembered that AIs using Workboats to train Barb Galleys into our fishing grounds came up in another thread, so I thought some of you may enjoy this one. I am Asoka on an Archipelago map (random/random with random personalities) and I have a couple Work Boats out exploring, and one of them...

It seems to me that a very large part of progressing up the difficulty ladder in this game is about knowing exactly how the various AI Talking Heads are going to act and react. We know we can push Gandhi around, but if Shaka is near, we should cowboy up ASAP. Mansa will trade with us forever...

As some of you know, I enjoy the island type GLH REXing maps. Not so much the smaller island ones like archipelago or tiny island ones, but the ones with lots of medium to small sized islands. I am a builder at heart, an in many of these games I end up with plenty of land to develop peacefully...

Take a look at this screenshot from a game I am playing. I recently took this city and now, I want to irrigate the Rice. Now, before I built that farm 1S of the city, I could not farm ANY of the tiles 1E of it (not 1NE or 1E). Even now, I cannot build a farm 1NE of the city. Yet the city is on...

I often find there is a stage of the game where I absolutely do not ever want to give out another Shock or Cover promo. What I often find myself doing is pre-promoting many units to Pinch, in anticipation of the AIs ability to make gunpowder units. At my current level of play (Emp, can win...
