    Map/Game seeds

    I’m trying to load up a map from another player. We have the same settings, same mods are enabled, I enter the same map and game seeds and I NEVER roll the same map. I’m not sure what the problem is. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    A few random questions

    Just to compare with other, most likely better players than me. Do any of you ever settle a city that is not adjacent to a river or coast? I mean a city in the middle of nowhere where an aqueduct can't help. I ask because there are times where I could settle a nice resource rich spot but...

    Culture VC

    I couldn't find the thread where I could post my win-loss info but I figure I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I've played 2 games so far, trying to go for a Culture V. Both times, I've lost very early. The first game war Emperor and I lost to Brazil - Culture. For the 2nd game I...

    Open borders

    I apologize if this had been mentioned before. I looked at the change log but didn't see an answer. In my current game, I am paying 5 gold per turn to have Pedro's open borders. However, he is the one getting the tourism modifier. Is this correct? In the vanilla version, when I paid...

    Managing happiness

    Hey all, Anyone has tips for managing crippling happiness? I realize and appreciate that the mod makes happiness more realistic. I'm finding it very hard to manage it especially when going for domination. Maybe the question should be how to manage happiness when warring. I take a...

    Base commerce

    Hey all, Slowly getting back into Civ4 BTS and getting use to the commerce aspect of the game. Assuming a 6 city empire, how much base commerce should I aim for on higher difficulties? It's probably a strange question, but in the past, I would always over-cottage to make sure I stayed...

    Lessons learned - any supremacy VC tips?

    Just "finished" a game as the ARC, Apollo, Quick speed, Terran. Was the first to launch the satellite, first to build the emancipation gate. Sure enough, as soon as the gate was built, I was DOW'ed by 2 AIs, one not even on my continent. The funny thing is, it had no prior conflicts with...

    Contact victory

    Is there a way to speed things up? I tried increasing my energy per turn but it doesn't. In my current game as Elodie, Apollo, quick speed, I activated the Beacon and had 20 turns to go, 80% complete. Kozlov and the KP built the Mind Flower a few turns later, maybe 5 turns later. They...

    24 hours later, a few strategy questions

    Hey all, first off I love the game. Very addictive. For my first game, I am Elodie, Gemini level, standard size map, Terran. Here are my questions. Micromanaging pop. It doesn't seem like you can production focus, lock down food tiles. So what are some of you doing? Nothing, or still...

    City specialization in Civ:BE

    I've searched the forums and have not found anything on this topic so I apologize in advance if it's been discussed. I've be watching a number of LPs, especially Maddjinn's, and it occurred to be that city specialization could be important in BE the way it was in Civ IV. You could have an...

    Immortal/deity question

    Is it more difficult playing at these levels on a continents map or any map where the AI finds theme selves isolated ? I realize that on a Pangea map on higher levels if the AI decides to attack early, you can be screwed. But I start a continents map on immortal as Catherine. I had a very...

    Holy city flips

    Hey all, Is it possible to flip back the holy city to its true religion? There's still pressure so if I build the Grand Temple, I assume that will help. Any thing else apart from not letting it flip to begin with. Sent from my Q10 using Tapatalk 2
