Hi. My name is Tony and I'm a Civ addict. I've been playing Civ since I got my first Windows 3.11/DOS computer in 1994. My friend from school gave me a single floppy disk that magically made my computer boot straight into Civilization 1. I was very bad at it, rarely winning on the lowest...

Thanks for the info. I'll update my post later.

How do I take screen shots and in which folder do they end up? Also, how do I bring up the resource marker things that I see in peoples screen shots?

I think I'm at a rather interesting spot in my current game as Charlemagne and thought I'd post it to see what everyone else thinks. This is being played with the BUFFY mod but won't be submitted to the HoF. I started out on the south-east corner of a snaky continent (fractal map) with tons...

Thanks for doing all the ALC games. People are still reading and rereading them to this day. I used to follow them religiously back in my Civ IV heyday. Its a great way to pass the days when you work in an ISP's tech support call center and all you can think about is getting home and playing...

Since we are doing favorites rather than most powerful, my favorites are Creative and Organized (yes, I'm a Zara Yaqob fan). I like the traits that do all the work for you!

Wow, what a douche.

Wasteful? 3:culture: > 2:culture:...

I always send in the unit that has the highest survival chance in the stack. The survival chance is simply the victory odds added to the withdraw odds. If I have a CRIII Swordsman with a 75% chance to kill the unit and a Keshik with a 30% chance to win and a 50% chance to withdraw, I'll use...

I was pleasantly surprised in the game I'm playing now on Emperor when I popped a hut for 103 gold. That's the most gold I've ever recieved from a hut. :king: Four techs though, thats insane.

*signs* I suck at this game but its still a favorite.

Pericles of Arabia would be interesting. You get the cheap Madrassa along with the Philosophical bonus. This will allow you to ignore the religous techs for quite a while, while still allowing you to hire priests. Generate a prophet or two and settle them to help with maintenance as you REX...

Thanks!:goodjob:

I would have settled 1 NE of the copper and 2 N of the stone. Dejenne is good, but I wouldn't have settled that until later because it can be backfilled later. I like to expand towards the AI initially and towards to coast later. Later.

Well, you see, articles usually contain paragraphs, well thought out ideas, and useful information. While this statement is true, it is irrelevant. I once again fail to see the relevancy in this, but irrelevancy seems to be the common theme in this "article".:lol:

Earthgod's article is actually quite entertaining at. If you take the time to read through the whole thing there are some really good replies in there at. Sure, it's completely devoid of any kind of useful information (other than a recipe for cookies), but that's why it's funny at. To top it...

Standing up for self-expression? Is that whats he's doing? Really? Are you sure?:mischief:

I agree with this completely.:goodjob:

Once you start playing Monarch, you really have to start to play with more focus. After you have explored the map, met your neighbors and popped some huts, you need to come up with a long term goal. Everything you do should in some way bring you closer to that goal. Some examples of long term...

I agree. The one time in several hundred games of civ I researced DR, I regretted it. One situation I would research it is if I was pursuing a Religous Economy strategy in which you build the Spiral Minaret, University of Sankore, Apostolic Palace, and the Sistine Chapel. I've heard that...
