This column is almost 2 weeks old, but I just saw it in a local newspaper recently and it infuriated me. I showed it to a few people I know that support the tea parties and they were also shocked and outraged, I think most had no idea that this is what the tea party is really about, they...

I need at least 6 of the best leader/civ combo's for the AI using unrestricted leaders so I can set up more challenging emperor games to make moving up to immortal easier for me. So far I think the combo's most players prefer, Boudica of Rome, and Darius of HRE should also work good for the AI...

My last game I played as Hammurabi and while going for domination, I ended up eventually capitulating Mansa, Cyrus, Hattie, and Frederick. Mansa and Cyrus were still furious with me throughout the rest of the game, Fred and Hattie were annoyed. After capitualting them my empire was still...

Being new to BTS I'm still not sure exactly how the AP (Apostolic Palace), and Corporations work. Would razing a city with the AP stop the diplomatic votes? and would razing a city with a corporate HQ prevent a new one from being made, and prevent that corporation from being spread any further?

Just wondering if there are any else out there and could share their reason for supporting Obama, and if they did from the begining, or are switching from McCain to Obama like I have recently. Even though I never liked McCain at first for not being conservative enough, I reluctantly...

Does anyone know if when starting a game, all leaders are chosen at random first? Or does the game choose civilizations first, then randomly assign leaders? The reason I'm asking is it seems like leaders who are the only leader for their civ seem to show up the most.

On Tuesday, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former aide to Vice President Cheney, was found guilty on counts of perjury, lying to the FBI and obstructing an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative, Valerie Plame, and faces up to 25 years in prison. Should President Bush issue a pardon to...

I never understood why nuking cities, razing cities, and razing holy cities in particular give you diplomatic penalties but no penalty is given for pillaging food resurces? Pillaging food resouces and farms is a major war crime in my opinion. It should be treated almost the same as razing, if...

Has anyone accomplished this yet? I can usually do the first 2 goals with no problem if China is already collapsed, but I have trouble with the control 12% by 1500 AD. What makes this even harder now, is in more recent versions civs like India, China, Arabia, and Persia all have...

This is an interesting rule variant I've been playing recently, rules are you may only win by domination, and you may only capture cities using culture. I tried this on small Pangaea, 5 opponents, noble using Hatty my first time and it definitely makes civ 4 much more interesting. Also some...

Can anyone explain why certain AI's remain "pleased" with each other even when having negative diplomacy modifiers? For example in my current game, Brennus is Budhist and Huayna is Hindu, and they both are at -3 for having different religion, and at +1 for having peaceful relations for...

I'm debating on if I should settle in place or not in my current game as Celts, settings are standard size Pangaea, rocky 7 opponents. Notice from the screen shot below that by settling in place, I get 2f 2h 2c because its a hill/plains with gold. I'm wondering if most of you guys would or...

In my recent game as Rome in RFCW v119, Emperor level, I experienced a collapse around 550 AD due to over expansion, and loss of Rome and Mediolanum a few turns before to barbs. After losing Rome, my capital moved automatically to my largest city, Constantinopolis. All of this so far...

I'd like to know which file and which value to change to get rid of this annoying and unrealistic feature, thanks.

I just noticed Arabia and Mongols do this in RFCW 1.09. might explain why the AI usually sucks with those civs.

In my recent game as Turkey, I had the Babylonian city of Tushpa flip to me. The problem is I do not want this city, and would prefer to simply capture and raze it instead. Well everything I tried to do to get the city razed wouldn't work, I tried letting Babylon recapture it a few times hoping...

As the title above says, my problem is that the Egyptian civ is never collapsing in warlords, although they usually did by the time European civs spawned in the vanilla version. This is getting pretty annoying since they tend to be a bit overpowered and unrealistically ruin my colonization...
