    Failed Persian and Inca UHVs

    What basically happened in both: -As Persia I got as far as Egypt (having taken Mesopotamia and Palestine) before stopping. Had a few world wonders built. I suppose I should confess that all but the very last of my conquests were done with Immortals. -As the Inca, I ran into a French...

    I just lost a game of Civ4 to the Apostolic Palace for the first time.

    And it really stings. On the bright side, it was to Hannibal, who will ironically be in Deadliest Warrior soon.

    Does the AI just suck on maps with more water on them?

    I would really like to ask this question. I just now finished my first game of Civ4 since May, with a Diplomatic Victory in 1904. However, I was surprised by how easy it was. To give the assets: Map Script: Fractal (turned out to be a map with four continents) Civilization: Sumeria...

    Vote for Civ4 at 12am!!!

    http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/gotd_bracket.html As you can see in this bracket, Civ4 is taking center stage in the GameFAQs "Game of the Decade" contest at 12am in a few hours. It has a 10 seed, and its opponent is Persona 3. We can do it, right?

    Is there a list of AI leaders based on aggression level?

    I was very curious about this.

    Some proposed changes to city art

    I wanted to make this thread to propose some new changes to city art. First of all, I'm glad that we have different art sets for Greco-Roman and Eastern civs, but I would like to see art sets for Mesoamerican and Middle Eastern civs as well. For Mesoamerican civs we could maybe take...

    "Our game designers have developed a new addictive game of Civilization."

    Even though I was aware of this event, it was still quite funny! And striking in 1926, too? Um, that was weird! I just wanted to incite discussion here because... ...doing some calculations, IF you assume that the rate of video game creation is the same here as in the real world, then I...

    Which victory condition should I take?

    So I started a game of Civ4 a few weeks ago, with a goal of getting a space race victory since I haven't done so in BtS. But now, take a look at the Secretary-General election for the UN. Leading Candidate: Pericles (577 Votes - Required 317 out of 793) Napoleon votes for Catherine (82...

    Multi Topic Thread

    Well, there are two things I wanted to ask? First, when does the AI usually build The Pyramids? I am playing a game where Cathy built them in 725 BC (on Noble difficulty)! Second, how do you win on a Pangaea map without founding a religion or conquering somebody? I just wanted to ask.

    Some ideas for new units

    I just had to put up this thread, because there are three units that I want to see in Civ sometime, maybe in a mod or scenario (they haven't been yet!). Here's what I'm talking about: Throwing Axeman Unique Unit for French Empire Replaces Axeman Additional Benefit: +10% city attack...

    My First Archipelago Venture

    http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3691 Alright, this is my first game of Civ4 ever on an archipelago map, and the third game I've played recently. This thread has everything up to 1360, which is up until I've played. I took screenshots, but I haven't uploaded them to...

    Some things inaccurate about the modern era

    I'm not really asking this to be fixed, but I just wanted to bring this to attention. In the modern age, why does every house become a skyscraper? Is Firaxis assuming that everybody is moving to apartments in the modern age? Even then, it makes no sense for COTTAGES to look the same...

    May I see the city lists for each civilization?

    Naturally, the title says it all. On a second note, why are the Roman and Mongol UUs named after the historical civilizations' royal guards? There was something else I wanted to ask, but I can't remember anymore.

    Who do you recommend I first play this mod as?

    Seriously, I tried as Germany in the 1936 Europe start, and the whole thing just seemed overwhelming. I just felt like sleeping off my units, and why are the cities all set to produce wealth? And on a side note, why are Von Papen and Yamamoto back? So yeah, for my first time, which...

    I just had one of my greatest moments ever in Civilization IV

    Well, for a start, I was gunning for Liberalism, and then I saw Isabella start to research it even before I did. Then when I started I would take 5 turns while Izzy would take 6! Except that Willem would take one LESS turn then I did, so it seemed like he had won. So I declared war on him and...

    How do you delete save files?

    Yeah, I just wanted to know. I don't like my computer gumming up with savefiles.

    Shouldn't each civ start with all ancient age techs no matter what?

    I've been reading Asimov's Chronology of the World, and it just seems to make more sense for each civ to start with all ancient age techs researched (including the starting four) with maybe some exceptions (depending on history). The stone age ended in 3500 BC, so why strand us in the stone age...

    GameFAQs Contest and IGN Top 100 Creators List

    Wow, I'm surprised that both of these events didn't get mentioned yet in the civfanatics news. Event #1 regards IGN's Newest Top 100 List, this time being about game creators. Sid Meir was #2, only behind Shigeru Miyamoto. Sid is an absolute genius. I believe Brian Reynolds and Bruce...
