What exactly is the point in changing game speed from say normal to epic? I was reading somewhere once, a guy said normal is too fast and that by the time your units get anywhere they're outdated (slight exageration but point made). Any other reasons?

it's 1350, i have gone around the entire world, the other Civs just barely got Optics (from me in one turn of trades), and I'm way ahead of them all. But i haven't gotten anything from doing it yet. What could be the problem?

I've definitely been playing a different game with a different leader everytime to learn the different aspects of the game better. I finished a game last night where i was friendly with everyone cept Monte, who i had everyone declare war on. Then i took out my neighbor on my continent, then...

ok i'm new to the game, so i'm sure there are some really good players, but 750 AD is barely any turns at all not to mention BC (unless the game speed wasn't on normal or something but even then). So, i'll have to say, screen shot or it didn't happen :p

I just got Civ IV a couple weeks ago and i'm lovin it. Winning games on noble pretty easily most of the time. Anyway, should i get Warlords, wait for the other expansion or wait for Civ V :lol: ? I just dunno if it's worth the money. Like does it make the game way better? I know some...

What're some of the fastest UN victories people have gotten? I just finished a game on noble, elizabeth of england. I'm sure others have destroyed this but i felt pretty good about winning in 1960 with 13,433 points. Was nice when the game said my leadership qualities were like Abe lincoln...

I was going for a quick atk on a neighbor (I was Incan so i rolled over there with a couple of my UU). It was his only town and i killed him off. I was planning on razing the city since it was a bit far away. The only reason i didn't was because he founded Judaism there. I remembered once a...

ok. so if i wanted to use specialists i would just build tons of farms so that i could support all the specialists?

Could someone explain specialists to me? more specifically, the reason i ask is that i'm confused about the trade-offs. For example, a scientist, gives 3 flasks, but if you got a cottage up to max it would be giving you 6 or more gold right? so wouldnt that be like 6 flasks? The thing is i...

Thanks guys. Of the 3 games I've played 2 were time victories (I can't seem to kill off the other civs quickly enough so i never make it to domination) and one i lost to Elizabeth in 2046 when she completed the space ship and i was ahead in points. Ouch. So I figured I'd go for some specific...

I want to try and win the space race if possible next game i play. I'm kinda new, I was wondering which leadership qualities are best for that in people's opinions. Thanks, Insidion

k, that's what i was wondering. if i should be worrying or not :P

It's 1960 BC, normal game on noble, i feel like i'm playing well, but i'm #7 on the list for most advanced civ. What am i doing wrong if anything? Thanks in advance

I'm to 1600 AD and my research rate is at 70%. Is this an OK thing or should i be doing something to get it to 100%? -Insidion

k i'll keep military teching at this point. thanks for the galley info. Didn't think about that.

My civ is Mongolian (aggressive and the +2 culture in all cities traits seemed nice). I did all the settings normal like fractal on noble. I researched AH first since there were some cows and I was hoping to find horses for my Unique Unit Keshiks. Then I got BW so i could chop and some tile...

Thanks guys.

So, i've never played a Civ game in my life. But i played it thru once and was able to get a point victory and now i'm addicted. Anyway this is the most complex game i've ever played, and after reading the entire manual and then some almost twice, and a lot of articles on here i have a lot...
