Thanks a lot for this advice. I always tried to found the early religions (when starting with mysticism) but there is apparently no reason to.

So I generally play on pretty standard settings on prince. And every game, either everyone converts to hinduism, buddhism or judaism (sometimes). On maps with isolated continents , sometimes maybe christianity or taoism, but that's it. So what is the purpose even of the later religions? They...

Oh, I missed that. I havent played civ 2 in over 10 years so Deity seems a bit daunting. But I'll give it a try maybe.

Yeah so everyone had the same religion but I had negative points from the spanish as I declared war on them (but yeah I need to have more cities and have them have less cities os I needed war), so I got negatives from 'you declared war on us/our friends !!'. But oh well I came at least close...

Diplomatic loss :( somewhere in the 20th century. i was quite close to a religious diplomatic victory, but alas. I don't know well enough yet how to play the AI so that they vote for me. Still I learned, as a lower level player, a lot from playing this game. I converted to Buddhism, and so did...

I think id still go 1s and build a work boat first, then a worker. By then it should be at pop 2 or 3 (I am not such a good player that I can micromanage so much as to calculate the exact amount of turns though, I play only on prince. just started to get back into civ IV). By the time one...

Haha I played to like 1000 AD on the day it came out. I was playing civ all day. So I won't spoiler anything for you guys.

Settle 1S to lose a turn, or settle on the deer? I think 1S is better?

Where can I find the psoiler thread? edit: nvm found it

Yeah I have been using way more artillery as of late and it's been working great for me. I generally make stacks for each city that I plan to take in my 'blitzkrieg', then I take all the cities I want to take in the first few turns of the war, then I declare peace as soon as I can. Sometimes I...

Civ 3 and civ 4 are both very good games. But from what little I played civ 5 I did not like it as much as 3 and 4 (currently mostly playing 4, and I used to play a lot of 2 and 3 in the days).

I used to play civ 2 as a kid and I'd like to get into it again by playing a game of the month. But I think that if I start this one I might not finiish before june 5. So maybe next time.

Thanks, I got it to work already.

Woops yeah I mean move the scout there, not the settler.

Is there a trouble shooting thread for the patch if it doesn't work?

Yay I will give this a try. I only play at prince though so I might not win. Move the settler to the hill in the east then decide whether to settle in place or not would be my strategy.

Okay what I did was start over and only begin the war after having many catapults. And it went a lot easier ! Soon 'll be the only power on my continent. Playing at prince level. It did take a long time so I might have a tech disadvantage upon contact with the other civs.

Okay, thank you. I think what I will do is start over ( I saved before the war) and build a horsehockyton of catapults. Maybe I'll go for trebuchets (engineering) instead of knights in my research. I'll let you know if the result will be better than in my original.

So I need EVEN MORE catapults?

Thanks guys Another question: how do I beat longbowmen until I have knights? I can't seem to destroy the other civ (Sumerians) without ridiculous stacks of units, and their stacks keep getting bigger too. My economy is now crippled and from the 4 cities I was planning on taking I only got 1...
