I am really surprise no one discusses it yet, because yet again we meet design with spawning units out of thin air. So situation, I was declared war by germany on me, the war went okish, since i met my target capturing 2 cities and liberating 1 city state. I suffered some hickup and got...

Hey guys, one thing that lately is somewhat on my mind and is very rarely discussed is actually 2nd city spot and its influence on overall difficulty of game. I think everyone now knows the importance of your capital city, it's location and surrounding area. this is based on the simple...

I was kinda trying yesterday something with whip OF (which I screwed up, but that's not the point of thread). I kinda went on rush spree killing AI's left/right, while totally crashing out. As you will see from SS's next turn there will be strike. I offer this as a challenge for...

ok...now some of you maybe are a bit wondering why I would post such a question... now there is some ongoing competition blahblahblah... I just need to optimize tech path a bit after getting Oracle->CS for Space ship victory. I am now in a game (which I obviously can't post) where I got it...

Ok as you probably know karadoc we run the SG game in K-mod now. i today played turnset with WC rush. Here is the report http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=11771027&postcount=108 the thing that catched my eye when playing was the streak of luck with WC's I won straight 4 fights...

Inspired by a thread in civ IV general section I put some work into preparing some small mod which brings us the MOST OVERPOWERED combination of traits (as claimed by firaxis) that is IND / PHI I modified (well added) new leader to Holy Roman Empire and giving them a MAN they should have...

Inspired by some discussion in some other thread I prepared battle round between Financial and Organized trait. As a leaders were chosen Mansa Musa (Spiritual/Financial) and Asoka (Spiritual/Organized). They are both on the same Immortal/Normal/Continents map with identical starting...

Hey guys, I am playing a game which I can't post (hof challenger) and run into a problem I made myself. I for whatever reason (probably some brain fallout) accepted Mansa Musa as vassal thinking it will be ok. The task is finishing with Time victory, thus I obviously can't finish myself...

Today I was thinking about Spiritiual and Financial trait and couldn't remember who is the leader and then it came to me... it's actually Mansa Musa. There is imo not enough games with this leader posted, so i generated start on fractal, n/e, n/h, which is imo very nice one the map is...

Not so far ago we were discussing here some interesting things and one thing that really stood out to me is that for the best players of best is very important to have the technology of Civil Service in so called BC era (by that it's meant before T 115 normal speed). This tech is very...

Was thinking about giving a shot to immortal game and since I didn't want to be picky I choose "random leader" which gave me Frederick. Didn't liked the first map, so after 2 clicks I got this start and I thought...hey why not share? it actually looks like pretty decent start My...

Inspired by some other thread I was thinking about playing SB Immortal game with the aim of using protective longbows in BC's. I regenerated a few times (with the cheap intent of finding gems/gold start), but found this interesting one I am thinking about settling on the wine and...

I have a game running (can't post a save due to rules sorry), which turned out to be classic hammer economy, or better said I direct that way the game, since capital was obviously no-cottages and other cities even if gotten very soon were better running with mines and food specials. I am at a...

Mighty Suryavarman II "The 11th century was a time of conflict and brutal power struggles. Only with Suryavarman II (reigned 1113–1150) was the kingdom united internally and extended externally. Under his rule, the largest temple of Angkor was built in a period of 37 years: Angkor...

With SGOTM 14 being close and after some of informations about the map I thought it would be actually good idea to make some training scenario. You maybe ask at first place, why even participate in such scenario? Well I think everyone could benefit with stronger participants overall. The...

This post inspired me to create this post. After I read the post, my initial thinking was "is it really that above average start?". And actually came to the conclusion that I would like to know what people really prefer in starting position. So I went and rolled 9 (since the 10th we...

I decided to revive the series with another game, because having too many games is certainly much better then not having enough. "Snack Economy" (or as someone rightly called "silly economy") is a series of games in which we try to learn how to best make use of food, with emphasis on the...

Today I want to start another shadow game. The intent with this one is to play it slower, so I plan to make something like 10-15 turns each day and at the end of the session lay out plan for the next turnset another day. That's where this great community comes in :-) feel free to comment on...

What I am thinking about lately is how you would choose your tech path in a no tech trading game. For good example let's take civilization IV general discussion ongoing Earth challenge, which is huge map with big number of civilizations on epic speed. If you want which civilization I would...

One thread in general disccussion section inspired me to create this map. It should be different kind of challenge then usually based on handpicked AI's. I absolutely don't know how this will play out in reality, so if some of you will find it too easy, blame me for inexperience. If you...
