    Does a video of the complete history of civilization on Earth exist?

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this question. Sorry in advance admins if it is not. What I want is a video or mod I can download that shows all the major events of Civilization according to the generally accepted timeline. For example the entire battle of Kadesh could just be a...

    Full music names, for those extracting the soundtrack

    Ok, dosen't anyone ever talk about Beethoven Allegretto? I have hummed this tune to a great many musicians and no one recognizes it. Either I am a really bad hummer or this is a piece few know, or it has been altered alot for Civ gaming. No where on the net can I find this bit of music...

    I won on Prince

    I read through all of Sisultis Montezuma game on prince and his domination victory. In my games I often end up on the small continent with one other civ rather than the main ontinent. Next time I will try for a domination. In the past I was way to concerned about not starting a war past...

    I won on Prince

    I have yet to try a game with the opponents set to aggressive. You seem to know exactly how my games are unfolding though as you have no doubt been where I am at now at some point in the past. Military victory is seen by many as the only "real"win and I will admit it is much harder than space...

    I won on Prince

    I have won on Prince a couple of times now and they were space race wins. I hate how space race gets me small points. This has been brought up in other threads but I will say it again-space race should be worth more points as a victory. Domination is difficult for me on Prince because by the...

    Civilizations and leaders you'd like to see.

    Another special ability of the Canadian civ is: Automatically becomes vassal state to most powerful nation at the advent of feudalism. Switches allegiance as nations become more or less powerful. Can only spend 10% of toatal money on troops. Number drops by 1% ever 100 years. This is...

    OK I Finally REALLY won on noble

    Some of you may remember my earlier thread. Well that win on noble wasen't a "real" victory cause I customized opponents and had a small map. Well, after a 2 month hiatus where I meditated on how to acheive victory in Civ I have returned and won on noble, standard size map, continents, random...

    I need a basic CE guide

    Try Dot mapping. This will tell you exactly how many farms you need for opptimum growth. Before settling any settler: 1. turn on grid and resource display 2. hit print screen to capture screen shot (it will appear under my docs/my games/sid meiers civ 4/ screen shots) 3. save and exit...

    I finally won on noble!!!!

    Mice, your advice above is noted. My space race win on noble was indeed tiny map with hand picked opponents (I thought it was standard but rechecked the HOF). The large continents was random opponents but a hard won and insignificant points victory, getting me only 4000 points in 2050 and I...

    I finally won on noble!!!!

    You can all understand how crazy happy I was to finally win. Again today I won on noble, this time on a large continents map. It was only a points win though. My goal was domination from the outset so I bee lined for military tradition, getting it finally in 1700 something (it took awhile to...

    I finally won on noble!!!!

    One final thing. Everyone who is interested in Civ 4 should look at sisiutil's strategy guide in the war room on this site. Yes, diplomacy is a big thing I need to learn.

    I finally won on noble!!!!

    Ya I'm a noob. I'm obsessed with Civ 4 and have been struggling to win on noble for a long time. I came within 17 points of winning once in 2050 and was banging the table and yelling alot. Every game I would be ahead and then an aggressive Civ (usually Rome) came with about 20 galleons and...
