    Tapatalk Smilies

    I just installed Tapatalk on my smartphone, and so far I really like it. However, it's disappointing that the great civfanatics smilies don't seem to work. Does anybody know if this is an issue that can be solved on my client end, or is it a 'feature' of Tapatalk?

    Note Taking

    Does anyone know of a useful way to take notes while playing? In civ4 my solution was to play the game in windowed mode, and I could type whatever into notepad easily enough. There was also the fall back option of posting player messages into the game log (I can't recall if this was a BUFFY...

    Delaying your free tech

    I'm only playing the demo at the moment, so while I know this silly little trick works in there, I would need somebody else to verify if it works in the final full release version. Anyway... what I discovered is that it's possible to build the Great Library and get access to a free tech, but...

    Forget it. I'm the one in charge!

    I'm getting annoyed by each turn having to deal with all the pop ups suggesting I build such and such a thing. I feel I'm at the point where if I'd wanted to build it, I probably would have done so. Does anyone know how to turn these pop ups off?

    Chasing down advanced Diety AI

    It seems in most diety games I play where I survive as far as the ADs there will inevitably be one or two AI far outperforming the others. How do I bring them back a peg or two while bringing myself up? It seems to me that the peaceful option of micro-manage my cities to be as efficient as...

    Diplomatically staying Peaceful

    In a recent game I've been playing (Immortal Level, not Aggressive AI) I had on two seperate occassions 'Friendly' AI declare war on me. "How is this possible?" I thought. So I ask: How is this possible?? In the first case, my 'friend' declares war on me on the same turn as another AI...

    Problem with vanilla HOF mod version 1.74.004

    I'm having some time playing Julius with the GOTM45 settings to see if I can actually meet those victory conditions. But I have a different problem. I've just installed the latest HOF patch (v1.74.004) and under the settings tab for my game it says: "The assets are different from a standard...

    Information to be gained from the demographics screen

    What early information can be gained from the demographics screen? These are screenshots of the demographics screen taken from a custom game I am playing at the moment. Not coincidentally, the settings are the same as a current GOTM - bonus points for guessing which one. They are: (To...

    Most Random Custom Game

    I'd like to play a game where I don't know if I'm on a pangaea, or archipelago, or continent, etc. Is there a way that I can get a completely random map, where the only thing I specify is the size?

    Differences between difficulty levels

    I'm a fairly comfortable Prince level player, and hoping to move up. I've had a look for a list of changes between the difficulty levels on the forums and picked up some useful facts (eg, AI starts with an archer at Monarch), but can anyone point me to a comprehensive list of differences...

    Caste System vs Emancipation

    Hi everyone. I'm a Prince level player at the moment, occasionally having a go at Monarch. I'm just starting to grasp the cottage economy and specialist economy, and have a question about the civics to run in a hybrid or cottage economy. Assuming regardless of what kind of economy you...

    Not far to go now...

    The way things sit right now, I'm two games away from becoming a Quartermaster! Assuming my recent submissions are accepted and the HOF doesn't change too dramatically. My problem is, as you can guess, my remaining two games must be at Demigod difficulty and above, certainly not my comfort...

    Diplomatic Victory Rival

    I'm playing GOTM64 at the momentm, and I've been aiming for a diplomatic victory. I think it's not too much of a spoiler to say I've built the UN, but the first vote was undecisive. My question is: how do you know who you're up against, and consequently should get everyone allied against come...

    Quelling Resistance

    What is the best way to get rid of resistors in cities you've just captured? I find sometimes a single trooper is enough to wipe out a bunch of them, other times that single trooper can't seem to rid me of the final pesky resistor over a number of turns. Does having the unit fortified make...

    QC Question

    I've spent some time looking at the other threads to find this out, but I would love to have it clarified. Am I correct in thinking that for the Quartermasters Challenge, not only do you need to submit one of each of the game sizes/victory conditions/difficulty levels, but you also need to be...

    Defensive Units

    I spend most of my games playing Monarch level, hoping to move up soon, although I like to have a go at the GOTMs regardless of their difficulty (usually playing the conquest version). I often prefer a builder strategy like winning by culture or spaceship. I see in many other posts that you...
