    China to receive a Hakkapeliitta from military CS

    In my current game playing as China I befriended a military CS and found out it is going to give me the Swedish UU Hakkapeliitta every so often once I have researched Metallurgy (still a fair way off that yet). So I'm just curious if anyone has had experience of this and whether the combination...

    Transferring game saves and Hall Of Fame to new computer

    I've just bought a new computer, and am succesfully playing BTS better and faster than ever before. My old computer is being salvaged for parts/disposed of by the guy who built it for me some years ago. My question is, I have asked for my some files to be emailed to me so I can continue a game...

    Early Encounters Now Disasterous For A1

    Just started my first game of BTS. Playing as Sumaria and dropping down to Noble level for my first game, I was exploring with my warrior when I soon came across the Dutch not far away from my capital. Remembering that the improved A1 no longer gave them the starting bonuses they used to have, I...

    3 options to choose best use of my GS & GE

    It appears my Secretary Of National Affairs has come unstuck on a important matter, which has not come at a good time with my Military Advisor screaming down my neck to go to war with Germany. Playing as Greece, I've reached a point in the game where careful consideration is required for the...

    6 Technology Trades in one turn, and then...

    Playing a Monarch game, huge continents map with 14 rivals, marathon speed, I find myself a long way behind technology, though catching up rapidly after an early conquest of my continent. I eventually sped towards Democracy as none of the A1's had this (apart from Ramses who beat me to Statue of...

    CS Slingshot (Monarch Level+) question

    I seem to be able to get the CoL Slingshot consistantly now on Monarch Level, but can't seem to get the CS Slingshot. My problem is that I always build the Oracle in my Capital, as you do, which seems to be so efficient that even without Marble, and on Epic Speed, I'm usually building it on...

    Same Civ IV problems reoccuring on older games

    Civ IV (v1.52) still either freezes up with a loud noise through the speakers and requiring a hard boot, or CTD with errors saying 'Your system has run out of video memory' followed by a 'run time error'. This happens randomly, whether I'm on my 5th turn of a new game, or (more often) late in...

    Grenadier: Can't use city attack promotion

    Well as you all know Grenadiers are useful against rifleman units; having a 50% bonus when attacking riflemen. I was reading in the strategy guide that you should train your grenadiers in City Attack and watch the fireworks fly. The problem is that a Grenadier is a gunpowder unit and these units...

    Welcome to the age of 3D Gaming

    New demands for faster processors and high-end video and sound cards seem to prerequisite the new age of 3D gaming which I think has arrived in style with Civ IV! I've been reading the threads on bug reports and what works and what doesn't etc. I think the developers of this game have used a...

    Beaten To TOT by evil Production Sabotages

    Has anyone else been the unfortunate victim to a series of production sabotages on a city on the verge of winning the TOT wonder race. I've just moved up to Demi God and after a few failed starts finally came to grips on this level playing as the Celts. I've been used to getting the TOT wonder...
