I like really big civilizations but I'm a bit frustrated to discover that my latest city seems to be more of a millstone than an asset. Can anyone please tell me what mechanics are scaled with number of cities good or bad. For example I believe district costs go while tech and civic costs are...

I'm just trying to translate "One more turn" into proper Latin, but there are literally a billion rules. No wonder Rome fell.

I feel that I can be honest with you guys, were all Civ Fanatics here right? Well my wife keeps going on about how awesome Adam Levine is. One of the things she really likes is all his tattoos. So I'm going to get some more ink just to make her happy. I'm thinking of the golden disk waiting...

This is the turn tracker thread for "The Next War to end all war" PBEM game. This game is full, we already have four players. If you are one of those four, please post when you arrive so we can have a convenient place to discuss the game, note delays, or hash out rule disputes. Welcome to...

I usd to play D&D a bunch like 30 years ago. I wanted to play with my nephews but don't know what I need to buy, Wizards of the Coast marketing department seems to take special care to keep that answer murky. So is it still DM's guide, Players handbook, monster Manual and a couple adventures?

Just saw a short presentation by John Hunter on Book TV the other day. He talked about his book "World Peace and other Fourth Grade Achievements." Supposedly he created a huge world politics simulator in which his 4th grade students solve every problem facing the world today. Sounds pretty...

I'm trying to teach my kids Civ. Is there some way to pause the game or increase the timer on the Defense scenario while they are learning what to do?

It’s a well known fact that people who play strategy games are geniuses. So I’m thinking of starting a strategy game club at my daughter’s elementary school (ages 3-6). Although I’d love to play board games like Risk or Axis and Allies that would be a little impractical as it is unlikely we...

Just starting a class on Hitler and Stalin tomorrow. The text book is The Dictators by Richard Overy and he says something in the introduction that piqued my interest, even more than it is already piqued. Ovary references The Testament of Adolf Hitler in which F. Gernoud quotes Hitler on 26...

Will there ever be another Civ IV Demo game? I mean with other players besides just me.

Both of my kids are in school this year, my oldest is starting 3rd grade and the other is now in preschool. That has allowed me to go back to work. At the moment I am a substitute at an elementary school. I love kids; I love teaching so it’s a great job but very eye opening. I made sure...

“Welcome aboard the starship XZzbrt. Its purpose is to investigate unusual new worlds, to search for new life forms and new civilizations, to fearlessly traverse where nobody has yet done so.” Captain Ghpstage crumbled the pamphlet. “All lies” he thought to himself...

Like all other great religions Civ has its missionaries who live to convert others from idolatrous pastimes to the true faith (BtS is my preferred denominations). Anyway I’ve been working on my brother. I’ve remarked on the awesomeness of Civ and this site regularly enough to get him curious...

I submit two proposals for your consideration. We are clearly loosing this game…big time, so I have posted the latest save in the strategy forum to beg for help. If anyone is able to give us a winning strategy I think the least we can do is change our leader name to the user name of whatever...

Just installed BTS on my alienware laptop, but the patch will not install, its still version 3.00. Anyone know what my problem is?

12 months is a pretty good cooling off period, so now that everybody is friends again is there any interest in another game? ;)

I want to get to that barbarian encampment...just...right...there, but so how do I do it again? I just researched Optics and my swordman are standing on the beach but they don't have any experience so...they have to kill somebody else first or I have to build a barracks and a new unit or...

Participation has fallen off because we are in a bad situation. We have fallen behind badly (in last place by all measures) and have no Iron. The sight won't let me upload the save twice so please visit our thread to check it out the 230 BC save...

That pop rush really set us back but I think we may recover quickly as the population of Coppacks returns and we get some workers to Babylograd. We have some real security now and expansion is still on track. Expansion: Babylograd will finish the settler in 3 and will need 3 turns to walk...
