So I am trying my hand at a deity game for a change (usually I play Immortal) and while I failed with Russia miserable, I am going for Babylon as I really want a science victory and not necessarily domination. I started this map and on turn 3 I find Skilldorado with my Warrior. On turn 4 I...

I am amazed at the sheer amount of specialists (no pun intended) we seem to have on this forum. Every other person claims to know the psychology of why CIV 5 sucks. Even better, every one of them also knows that everyone else thinks like they do and must thus surely hate CIV 5 just as much...

The discussion about leaderheads for Civ 4 and 5 gave me an idea... I would find it kinda cool to have real life actors play the leader roles in an upcoming Civ 6 or something. So if they could pull it off and get celebs, who would you want to see as which leader? I'll start with a few...

howdy, I read a bit through various articles about GP Farms but still have some questions. I must admit I never really used a GP Farm specifically (it just so happened that I had some cities producing GPs at a decent rate) so I want to try one tonight with a philosophical leader, parthenon...

So here I thought (or knew, from experience) that if I am at war with a civilization and suddenly they become a vassal with another one that I am peace with, I automatically make peace with the one I am at war at. Interestingly enough, it doesn't seem to be the other way around. Yesterday I...

So I moved up to prince yesterday and was playing a fair game as Ramesses II with Pacal, Sury and Joao. We were all Hindi and it was a love fest (friendly, friendly, pleased). So the AP elections come up and Sury gets elected. Here I wonder 'why him and not me' (it was him or me to chose...

Howdy, I just recently "discovered" Charlemagne and the HRE. I have been blissfully ignoring him until now. Now, in my limited knowledge of game mechanics and blissful ignorance of the higher concepts of this game, I think he is a pretty good leader to play with. Unfortunately I haven't...

howdy fellow fanatics, I have a problem and it is about how long my games take. I usually have one or two evenings per week (ca. 4hrs per evening) to play Civ4. I would love to be able to start and finish (and hopefully win :lol:) one game per evening. From what I read in the forums, 4hrs...

I seem to run in a recurring problem in most of my games: Number of cities. Let me elaborate... I often read about how having lots of cities (i.e. for a cultural game, 9 cities is optimal due to being able to create the necessary temples for the cathedral type building) is generally a good...

Hi there, I intend to try a cultural victory on noble before I move up to the next difficulty level. I read up on some strategies and pointers and thought of a rough plan on how I go on about this game. However, I do have some questions that I'd rather have answered than find out by trial...

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or is annoyed with it. Sometimes I tend to either misclick or click too fast (i.e. go to) and then realise that my unit is now wasted or something like that. In such situations I really wish there was an option to at least undo your last turn in...

SO with great interest, amusement and way too much time on my hands (at work...) I read these forums and often see a remark or punchline about Ghandi being weak and sucking big time. I just finished a warlord level map (ok, it's "only" warlord, I agree) where I dominated the whole game in...

so I have read a lot about the SE and frankly, I find it more appealing than the CE, in terms of gameplay. it seems you have to do and think more (?). anyhow, so I build my cities with already a rough idea which is gonna be which (production, science, etc.) and let them grow a bit. now...
