Does any of you have a stock portfolio on CAPS? If you do, I would like to see how you are doing. Surely, most of us here like to conquer or to tame the world in Civilization, but it would be greater if we can also conquer the real Financial world as well. I just found out about CAPS and I...

Would someone give me the formula or the rule for razing a city? Assuming the "No city razing is not checked", how come some city can't be razed? Does it has something to do with the culture boundary? For example: In my recent game, I gifted some of my cities away and later capture them...

Does anyone know how to turn on the "Alert" message for the Domination Limit? Is this a new feature in the HOF mod? For example, "Your land area: 171 (67.86%) is close to the Domination Limit: 176 (70.00%)". I noticed that this message came up in some of your games, but I have never seen it...

Ok, I have read Arathorn's article a couple times, but still couldn't come up with the correct odds. Since I'm not really good with numbers, would someone please explain to me in plain simple Math on how you calculate the odds. The reason I'm asking this here is because you guys probably know...

I think I just discovered another AI weakness. I assume that you already know how the AIs like to protect their resources...by pretending to come after their resources, they may abandon their fortification to come after you. Although this was a good trick, it doesn't always work. You...

It seems to me that the AIs are not very smart. They are much more focusing on protecting their resources than their cities. For example, whenever I match my stack of swordmans, spearmans, and axemans to take on a heavily defended cities. I really don't have to fight much. Since their city...

Though I have had Civ4 ever since it was released, it has been sitting on my shelf collecting dirt. Until recently a few days after patch 1.52 was released, Julius Caesar came to me in a dream begging me to command his praetorians on grand conquest. I told him that I’m not really...

Just wonder if anyone have written a strategy guide for the Deity level yet? Or have you seen one out there? If not, may be I will start one.

I have a few questions about the GOM rule, if you don't mind. #1. Are we allowed to rush units or buildings while the city in civil disorder? #2. Are we allowed to rush units or buildings while the city is riotting? #3. Are we allowed to borrow gold or trading gpt/tech/whatever then...

I ran MapFinder again last night (huge map on Sid) and this is what I found. Look at that huge domination limit on the first one...4621 and its starting postion isn't so bad either.

I'm currently playing with the Celts and for the 100K culture on Sid (tiny map). I have been switching back and forward between Republic and Feudalism and it has been working out great. I may even beat EMan's 900AD record.;) Just kidding, it's a long shot anyway and too early to tell. I'm...

Last night, I was just about to work on some code for MapFinder, but for some reason, I decided to pick up where I left off last Christmas. There was this map very tough map with 3 or more cows at the starting location, lot of gems and ivories near by, domination limit of 4565. Previously...

Well, I'm going to start my first huge map milk game on Chieftain soon. Since there are just way too many gray area in C3C, I'm going back to the good odd PTW v1.27f now before I may accidentally break any future* rule in C3C. I will be with the Rusian and my opponents are all scientific...

Happy New Year to all of you! I do have a little gift for you...the new MapFinder for 2005 is now ready (link on my sig). I'm really quite happy with this version...if you have a good system of 2GHz or above, this baby can really rock! Have a safe and happy new year! :beer: :band: :beer:

Just wondering when you guys are thinking about buying Civ4: Are you going to pre-order it, ..., or wait until after the first patch for it to come out. 1. Will pre-order Civ4 2. Will buy it during the first week after released 3. Will buy it during the first month after released 4...
