I lost my job in October so I already have that stuff figured out. It is just nice that my wife makes good money and I qualify for unemployment.:D

Just wanted to stop in and say hi to all the people here. I was around a lot back in the day, but when BTS update 3.17 came out it caused my computer to heave and fall apart under its weight. But, recently I have lost my job and decided I need to see if I could get this game back up and...

I have had BTS since it first came out and have played all the way my way to a time victory more than once, but since the last patch I have had a problem when I get late into games. I get this error and the game shuts down. I have figured it out that it only crashes when I pan across enemy...

Now, when it comes to banks, and other commerce multipliers those don't help with generating more science other than it could allow you to run a higher overall science percentage. Also, I know that certain wonders have a synergy with specific cities, but what do you do about some of the...

Ok, I have isolated as my biggest problem in a game is my lack of city specialization (commerce, science, GP Farm, Production). So, I was looking for a list of buildings sorted by what type of specialized city the help. I know some are obvious, Monastaries are good for science cities and...

Well, I can't say much about my game, b/c I haven't played in a while. I was wiped out by Cyrus at some point (don't remember the exact date). But, this is way above my comfort level (noble) so it was really just a shot in the dark. I didn't expand quick enough so I got stuck with only 3...

I would recommend building cottages in newly founded cities. These cottages will help to offset the maintainance costs of that new city. Also, check out http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy/ it has a lot of helpful articles.

I am sure that I am going to get a lot of different opinions and really that is what I am looking for. This is the first time I have really used the map finder application. I usually just go with the first map that I am given. So, when you are setting up your rule groups you only have 1...

I have just started using this great tool and I would like to make it more useful. I have read the faq's on how to use it and I have run it a couple of times, but I would like it to be a little more efficent. I get about 2 or 3 saves out of every 100 maps. I am guessing that this has to do...

Wasn't one of the reasons that you teamed up with KK b/c of he often built suicide units and would then be more likely to attack cities? Wouldn't teaming up with Asoka slowed down your domination b/c it would be harder to get him to attack cities? It seems like the other teams all teamed up...

@ Gyathaar, I want to thank you for chiming in on the creation of the maps. I find this process very interesting.

The first spoiler is usually around the end of the month so it should be coming up in the next week or so. Good luck.

Ok, I have a very simple question for the MW team... How many "different" spreadsheets did you use for this game? I know there are quite a few hidden in the almost 4000 posts, but how many did you end up using? Also, are these spreadsheets unique for this game, or are they around from...

Congrats Murkey Waters! That was well played.

Congrats to Spain. They played really well.

:blush: Well, it was a good idea. :blush: I guess it is a little too far down the road. If only they were earlier. :D

I know you guys are trying to have domination shortly after PA, and I don't remember the tech tree as well as I should, but I have an idea. Has anyone thought about using Gunships? Wasn't there a glich in vanilla that allowed the gunships to eliminate all the defenders without taking the...

LC, I believe you can suggest cities to attack as long as you are in the war too.

Erkon, I could be wrong, but I believe the discussion is for a back-up plan in case the current island is too small for dom. and will need too many cities on the other island. BTW, there was a comment about what time zone I was in. I am in US Central. IIRC, I am GMT-6 hours.

Something else that might help in eliminating confusion between ideas is a set list of acronyms. For example, GL, in the last SGOTM that was Great Leader, now I believe it to mean Great Library, but it could also be Great Lighthouse. Much like what Erkons says about using the smilies to...
