    Oracle options and relative value

    Metal Casting isn't really favored by the AI so makes for (maybe a little more) trading possibilities.

    countering the naval 'sneak' attack

    Seems just #2 would do it--> Invade one square in and that is all you have for that turn.

    countering the naval 'sneak' attack

    I think Wolfblue should get hot with writing a mod that meets his demanding expectations. I won't be using it though, because I like the way naval warfare works in CIV 4.

    countering the naval 'sneak' attack

    If you plan ahead, you can have some options to react when you see the armada coming your way: When you get Chemistry start cranking out Privateers, which, of course, can attack without declaring war. When you get combustion, upgrade your privateers to destroyers and keep them off the coast to...

    Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

    I can't speak as a code diver, but I've seen a lot of people claiming that forests and jungle have reduced growth probability if the tile is roaded, and my playing experience is consistent with that. I doubt they'd make a gems tile have higher jungle growth probability, you just notice it more...

    My 2nd monarch game, sticky situation, advice...?

    I would start over, and make a more balanced approach to military production in the future. It sounds like your 50 Preatoriates didn't last, if you ended up losing cities later. By the way everyone is attacking you it sounds like your power is behind the rest. The Khmer stack sounds...

    Transferring saved games from Mac to Windows, with mods

    Good morning, I haven't been able to find anything answering this, and I imagine it's probably impossible, but I'm hoping someone knowledgeable will read this and confirm that suspicion, or, even better guide me to a solution. I play CIV 4 BTS on both Mac and Windows, and recently I was...

    Guided Missile: 60 Hammers of Suck?

    If there's one thing I hate it's a fair fight... The only use I've seen is that a missile cruiser and a battleship both have equal hit points, but if going into battle and you have your missile cruiser loaded you can at least lob missiles at them and have a good expectation of winning the...

    Slapping Vassals

    I'm wondering if anyone has stories to tell doing the brokering beestar talked about. Seems like if feudalism was prioritized (not an unreasonable Oracle grab) you could get some vassals quickly, direct their research and have fusion around 1500? I'm usually too stingy with my techs, so the...
