I am just wondering, what kinds of things will never be doable in the game? Many people like hex but that is probably one thing. 2D is likely another. I don't know what might be added in and what won't. I know their relunctance to tell us what will be added, since it may change later on...

Everyone likes chop-rushing, especially for settlers and workers. Has anybody tried a game where you can't chop? It seems like many of the higher levels require chopping. That could be one reason why I am only at warlord, or peacelord in my case. It would be really hard if the enemy could...

I have several requirements for my mod based on civics. One is that your units can only defend, except barbs and animals. Another is back to using building upkeep but make it changable. Like variable upkeep depending per civic or wonder, e.g. Adam Smiths. Can you have more the 3 rates other...

I want to make an all inclusive resort, er mod. I have various ideas of my own and links to dozens of other mods and topics as well. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to start this? Do people like these kinds of mods? Should I just give my ideas and hope they will be incorporated...

I noticed that often certain civs, I'm looking at you Elizbeth, seem to end up better than others, Tokugawa you can get up there. Has anyone compiled a set of average strengths and common scores and powers of each? A way could be by simply taking snapshots of the civ list in various games...

Are the various styles downloadable or otherwise obtainable? Are they easy to install on another forum of the same version? I like the one I use here and would like to put it on another forum that has one not as good. If these can't be gotten do any exist that are similar? Can these be...

I have 2 computers on the same network. Or at least they both connect to the same router. How do I send a file between them? I tried the windows help and it is usless. I tried Google and it is no better.

Before the patch there was a ironworks problem that didn't work. Now it seems to. With 1.09, I still can't get the values to add corectly. Sometimes 2 hammers leads to 4, 6, or 7, depending on what I am building. I get that by having no super, engineers, prophets, and no citizen...

I was thinking. After I got rid of the brain pain, lousy gerbal wheel, instead of traits being a simple YES or NO they could vary from 0 through 10. I came up with an idea of how it could work. First, each trait has an increase of building certain building. Instead of 100% or 50% it would...

We all know that Great Prophets don't do much in the late game. All the good buildings and techs they rush are gone. I have a few cities that actually have no percentage of spawning one. The problem is that the governer sometimes puts one there. I believe it happens when the city grows and...

I have a couple dozen warriors. I can build either upgrade to axemen or spearmen. What should I make them? Similarly what about longbows vs crossbows? I don't really need to worry too much about city defence. I mainly want to attack his cities and field units. Forgot, I am Germany and...

My capital is trying to build the UN. It is producing 40 base hammers. It has Ironworks and access to both coal and iron. It also has a forge. It lists 88 at the top even though it should be 90. It also says the UN will take 19 turns. 1000/88 = 11.36. It should round up to 12 turns. What...

Does anyone know how city and civic upkeep is calulated? Is it like 1 coin for each city after the second per 10 tiles or something obscure? I have 5 cities or so and have a cost of like 3 gold/turn. How do the versaille/forbidden wonders affect it? What about Communism and court houses...

I just got a great prophet. I can do 2 main things with him. I can either build the Temple of Solomon or create a super-specialist. I can do that in either my capital or second city. I guess I can only get the Temple in the Holy city/capital though. I am not going to get a tech or golden...

Hows do you actually get wonders? I never get them because I am busy build other wonderful and fantastical things. When do you build them? How do you allocate resources and citizens? Which cities do you use? What buildings do you have to have before getting them?

We all know calender render the obelisk usless. Does that mean it generates no more culture? What about other buildings or wonders? Do they still make culture and not have the main effect? I am puting off researching it for a while, I have other stuff anyways, so I can real more from my...

I installed it on my computer and it worked fine. I eventually installed ATI's "All In Wonder" suite. After I did that it stopped working. I uninstalled both, reinstalled the drivers, or at least I think I did, then installed civ4 again. It still didn't work. I think the error is...

Besides the game of course. I would guess a physical box comes with the cd/dvd's as well as a printed manual. I have heard some versions only have pdf's but I want dead-tree also. Are there any strategy guides or anything good too? What online places give all the stuff needed? What...

I have a couple bizarre ideas. First, I was reading the wonder thread and saw the wonder "Trans Siberian Railroad." I was thinking that instead of the usual "have city build wonder and the whom ever finishes is first gets it," I came up with a "have two cities build a wonder and if your civ is...
