So I've discovered I really like Pitboss games and I'm involved in three different ones, with one on the horizon. Is there a way to create a shortcut that quickly links to that game? Some are mods. Currently I Start Civ>Multiplayer>Direct Ip> Type in new IP address each time. Any...

Already have the religion (should be all, but I'd settle for State) of the city they were created from??? Sarge

Why do some people use Hamachi - what does it do? Sarge

I've been lurking a bit trying to hook up with a Pitboss game...., but maybe I'll start my own, but i've never done it... 1) True of False: I would create the game on my computer and basically wouldn't ever be able to turn my computer off, or close Civ IV 2) True or False: I need to...

Ok, I just downloaded ROM last night for a PitBoss game i'll be playing in and I thought i'd get acclimated to the game. Typically in BtS I play Marathon game speed so I'm used to techs taking upwards of 20 turns, even for the first ones. Not so on ROM? I had to double check twice on...

Ok, So I like the full Civ IV experience, and want it in MP as well. I'm looking for another player to play CIV IV, but not at Quick speed. I want to play Epic or Marathon games.... I live in the Pacific Time Zone and I'm looking for maybe a night or two a week for a few hours that we...

My buddy and I are playing multiplayer via the internet (whatever the default service is with Civ IV). Problem is I must have forgot to set a password for the game, because towards the end of our session - a new player popped into our game unexpectedly. Is there someway to go back and add...

I'm not sure I've seen a thread on this-- I'm curious what everyone thinks: From best to worst: Mining: is probably my favorite starting tech,... just that much closer to an Axe rush with bronze working- Doesn't require a resource to be useful Ag- Wheat/Rice/Corn, even some of the...

Why is there such a love affair for the Apostolic Palace. I mean I get building it to prevent someone else from getting a cheesy religion diplomatic win, but outside of that, if I'm not going for Diplo or to a certain extent culture - why would I want the Apostolic Palace? Sarge:gp:

I was about to send an email to a friend about moving up in levels - but I'm not sure I'm 100% correct: ======= As you move up in levels (noble, prince, monarch, etc...) the AI doesn't play any "better." It will initially tech faster and produce faster, but as far as how to handle a war and...

Which buildings would be the best to destroy --- where do you get the biggest bang for your buck. I realize it will be city Dependant - If I see a Cottage'd city, then I'd hit markets, libraries, etc... Production city, - forges, barracks, Am I missing something key?

in the CvEventManager.py there are two entries that reference units being created/and or built. What are the differences between these two? The onUnitBuilt seems to focus on the city, and also making a broadcast announcement that it was built. Sarge:gp:

Ok, so I'm the newest of the noobs exploring Python and trying some very minor stuff.... I've been through a couple of the tutorials and have a rudimentary understanding - but learn better through doing, so maybe a few quick question to help me on my way..... argslist: ==== def...

This post is cross posted in the Multiplayer section, but I think this section gets more traffic and may have answers I seek as well. ======= What are some general Team Concepts one would need to be aware of. My buddy is setting up a hotseat game for us and suggested teams. A team of two...

What are some general Team Concepts one would need to be aware of. My buddy is setting up a hotseat game for us and suggested teams. A team of two (us) vs 4 AI teams which are teams of 3. Would we just horribly get out teched in that situation? Few other questions: How does our...

Generally when I execute an axe rush I run my troops through the CR line. Would it be more advisable to use a Shock or Cover promotion as my second promotion? If I play an Agr trait, I'll have Combat 1 Already - Summary - currently I develop: Build out of barracks: CR I Fight a...

Can someone post something that explains what each tool does and why you use it? What would indicate i need to use Python over XML or SDK over Python? Does that make sense? Sarge:gp:

Hi, I have the dll that allows me to have up to 50 civs in a game. (sidebar "props" to who ever made this) At any rate, I like to challenge myself and start a game with max civs. Generally I would just use Random - but in one game I noticed I had two Carthages-Hannibal. That was...
