The attached image shows where a lake tile is created even though two of the surrounding tiles are ice as opposed to land.

Inspired by Kordanor's build-order setup and Google Docs ability to import Excel files (imperfectly) I've decided to provide a rough work-up of a starting plan (50 turns) for the Ottomans. I used the same assumption as Kordanor regarding costs. As a starting location I figure one or two...

Since ranged attack killing does not result in the attacker moving onto the tile occupied by the defender in many cases it would be best, given the option, to have a ranged unit perform the final attack on an enemy so that the defensive line is not forced to extend into the possible middle of...

Inspired from one of the reviews that explained the "Great Library - Civil Service" beeline there is another beeline related that could be quite powerful; the Education Beeline. The Great Scientist allows one to instantly research all (most?) technologies as a special ability; and to get one...

The Granary An ancient era building, unlocked by Pottery, that provides +2 :food: to the city that builds it. It costs 1 :gold: per turn in maintenance. While eventually the granary is going to be a key building in most cities it is an important decision as to when to build it in your...

From what I have gathered there is one boundary case where we don't know how indirect fire works, that where the unit has a range of three (3) but only a sight-line of two (2) - over flat terrain, and does NOT have indirect fire; but the player does have visibility. F = Flatland c = catapult w...

Its appears from Greg's preview that siege works as follows: Setup to Fire: 1 turn Fire: 1 turn (end-of-turn normally) There is a high-level promotion that allows them to fire twice (with sufficient movement remaining). Greg had moved his trebuchet the previous turn and then tried to...

The one thing that seemed odd to me was that Greg had troops across the red-sea ( did it part or did they walk on water :hmm: ) I would have just maximized my defense in Suez (built the citadel one tile closer to the channel and let Frace puts troops on the tile, not Japan). I would also...

EDIT: GRD == GDR - Giant Death Robot Does anyone have a decent rationalization for why uranium, the necessary element for Fission is required for a unit whose existence is made possible by Fusion? I understand the gameplay perspective - if it was fusion based then only hydrogen or some...

Has there been any info on whether: A) Units not at war can pass-through each other B) Units not at war can occupy the same tile at the time time (i.e., 1UPT applies per-civ/per-unit-type - since we know civilian and military can share a tile)

I've got a pretty good feel for how City-State influence works but what I have not seen is whether or not this is going to result is increased micro-management. I guess my main hope is that there is an option to offer a gold-per-turn agreement with a City-State that can either "maintain" the...

OK, this is going to be a little long but looking for some thoughts. Monarch, Hemispeheres, Stalin, LARGE MAP; BUG Mod + BetterAI I am Stalin and share a large continent with Isabella (neighbor), Mehmed and Hammurabi. We are all the same religion and all three are friendly with me. I started...

A new book entry has been added: Founding Father Points Info

Was wondering if anyone else would like to be given an initial prompt, as well as a button on the colony screen, that lets you choose if/when the 200 food is converted into a new colonist. It is really annoying when you try to auto-supply food to a food negative colony and it grows on you...

Played a game where the English were destroyed by the King of England but their mission in Boriken (Native Village) remained and eventually provided me a converted native. I had not placed ANY missions this game so was quite confused to hear I had converted a native :eek:

I agree with many of the comments regarding the exponential increase of the training times being a big detractor from being able to accomplish the main goal of the game which is to become self-sustaining. Instead of having the rate of learning continually increasing and relying on greater levels...

At Normal Speed In addition to the following point generators your colonies can also convert hammers into points (3 per hammer). The following are taken from the XML - Did my best to interpret what the tags actually represent. File: XML\GameInfo\CIV4FatherPointInfos.xml • Exploration...

I have decided to try writing a strategy article in a more bard-like way that I associate with fantasy. Let me know what you think with the format. The biggest flaw is that it is quite difficult to make the strategy apply to different opening map situations. Anyway, here we go. As the last...

I still need to flesh this out some but figured I put the basic idea out and see if anyone can point to another discussion on the same topic before I start from scratch. Anyway; the goal is to manage worker actions not by controlling the worker but by designating what is desired on any...
