Most of us have heard of the one and five city challenges (OCC & 5CC). But what are some of the other variations and "house" rules people play. I am currently playing a variation where I can only win a diplomatic win but am not allowed to build the UN. I have also played variants where I...

I would like the ability to direct where my defending unit retreats to. I have had many times when my unit retreats and instead of retreating to a city or a stack of my units, it always goes to an empty tile, thus is destroyed by the next attack.

I noticed this in my latest game. I play playing Conquests patched to the most recent patch. I am in a Modern day war with the Iroqois. The Iroquios have two oil sources, both along the borader with me. In the first turn, I bombarded the tiles to cut the suppply. In the second turn I...

Starrider posted some decent sub ideas over in the conquest forum and I hope he does not mind me posting them over here as well. I would like to add a #5 and that would be to fix the dreaded "sub bug" where war is declared when the AI moves into a tile where you sub is sitting.

I would like the hardcoded limit to the number of civs removed.

Current game settings, Civ Conquest no patch. 7 civilizations still around. I have good relations/attitude with everyone except the Celts and a causious attitude with Iroquois. I am leader in military and size, points and culture Tied with Spain and Iroquois in the tech race. Iroquios...

Had this popup during my recent eradication of the Iroquois. I had cut all the roads leading to the capital and had my navy situatated outside of the city blocking the two sea tiles adjacent to the city. When I took a look at the foregin advisor screen, it idicated that the Iroquios had an...

:mad: VENT The one thing I hate most about this game is the insane practice of the AI in how they make their military agreements. Here is the situation in my latest game: I am the largest civ in land and military. I am on my own continent after eliminating Carthage and Japan. (I am the...

As we all know, if you edit the bix file in PTW, or play any mods, those games scores do not appear on your personal Hall of Fame. (I hear that this is the same in Conquests as well). Overthe weekend, I took a look at the halloffame.cvg (I think that was the file name) in the PTW subdirectory...

Wife took the little one over to some friends on Saturday which left me with 2 options for my suddenly free Saturday afternoon. 1) clean the house or 2) play some non-inturupted multi-hour civ, something I have not done since before the baby. I wonder what my choice is. Started up a...

I have a questions about the Hall of Fame. I know that in PTW, the Hall did not keep track of your high scores for modded games. Is this the same in Conquests?

Everyone (or almost everyone) knows about the way to secure a diplomatic win, build the UN, start a war with the #2 power and ally with everyone against him, hold elections and presto, everyone votes for you. I personally do not like this method and think of it as a cheat, but in a round...

If you found a city on a tile that already has a fortress built on it, does that add to the cumulative defensive boosts? In other words, do you get the bonus for a city plus the bonus for a fortress?? I ask because I recently built a city on a fortress tile and it appears that I now have...

I would like to see popups telling me when a civ completes a new tech. Much like wonders. The popups come up only when a tech is learned for the first time. Also, once I have a spy in another civ, I should recieve a popup letting me know when a civ starts a tech, or at least have the option...

I am ashamed. Over the weekend I was conquered by the Zulu's. As the game developed, I thought I was alone on an island. Suddenly, I see a zulu scout come by and before I could figure out where he came from, they demand techs and declared war because I said no. Suddenly, this massive wave of...

I just played a quickie this weekend (if you can count all of Saturday and half of Sunday as a quikier) and had one of my best games. DYP on emporor. Large map Random civs. Won via Culture much ealier than usual (for wins via culture) Why am I ashamed. I was the Babylonians...

In my current game I have marshalled a rather large coallition against the evil Egyptians. The three most powerful nations are me (India), Egypt and the Iroquios. We are on pangea and the Aztec as between me and Iroquois. Japan between me and Egypt. Out of the blue, Egypt declared war on my...

I see in the latest sticky that Killer is now passing the FAQ onto someone else. I hope this does not mean that he is leaving us for some other game. Anyway, I would like to thank Killer for his hard work with both the FAQ and the Newbies Thread. Three cheers for Killer! Hip Hip Horary...

I know it has been stated that the AI is programed not to know which civ is the AI player. One of the Fixarians have stated as such in some chats and it has been supported by some of the more knowledgeable players on this site. I have come to the conclussion that this is false. My examples...
