The AI civs are programmed to be bullies and cowards. If you expand and tech up quickly, before they get their gumption up, they will never bother you at all. If you stay small and are in the middle of the pack in tech, they are all over you. There are a few key things that will help you...

Yes, it gets worse in MP because if you change government and then take an enemy capital that same turn, you will often get booted out of the game at the start of the next turn. Thus, if you roll up on a lightly-defended capital, you can't just try your luck. What I typically do is move my...

Shouldn't you be playing the Mongols if you are Temujin? I recommend you join the community at the 2k forums here: http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?39-Civilization-Revolution-General-Discussion This site just doesn't get a lot of CivRev traffic. As for freezing, yes it...

This forum isn't too lively. I recommend you try the community over at the 2k forums: http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?39-Civilization-Revolution-General-Discussion. You'll find some games there for sure.

Religion is much farther into the tech tree than Code of Laws. Code of Laws is also on the tech path to Feudalism (knights) and Democracy (trade bonus). Not every game calls for expansion as you may be able to just attack your enemy early, but if you can't do that, you will almost certainly...

Hey, I'm not judging. It's a game for fun! Chieftain is the only difficulty in which you start off with your city settled. Some of the scenarios start you off with multiple cities settled (in horrible locations usually), but in the vanilla game above chieftain (and in MP), you start as a settler.

We're pretty good about training people up. The game has been out for a few years and pwning noobs has very much gotten old. We want quality opponents and will help you get there. Mine is El Thrasher. Feel free to add me when you're ready to jump online. Are you playing on Chieftain...

When you're done getting your achievements, you should come online. There's still quite an active multiplayer community. You wouldn't know it from this forum, but there are a lot of us posting over at the 2K forums...

Well, not so much in MP if your human opponent(s) aren't joining you in playing passively. Aggressive always beats passive in this game. It's just how it's balanced. But if you are playing SP, you can certainly adopt a more passive posture. In this case, you'll still want to start with...

Press the thumbsticks. Left for custom workers, right for selling a unit.

Indeed, but I'm also very good at this game. I wouldn't research CoL with a single 2 pop city. I would use my capital, my 100g city and some number of cities I've taken from the AI/other players. If expansion is my goal, then spending 5 turns growing before researching a 60 beaker tech isn't...

If you want an economic victory, you want to reach the Industrialization and Corporation techs first for the 5 gold per city per turn bonuses. That's obviously huge if you have a lot of cities. Get them both with 20 cities and that's 200 gold per turn for free on top of any other gold you're...

From what I've heard, you can't. For some reason they left that feature out.

This forum doesn't get a lot of use for CivRev. I recommend you head over to the 2k forum (http://forums.2kgames.com/forumdisplay.php?39-Civilization-Revolution-General-Discussion) and hop into one of the noob threads there. You'll get some help. Once you have the basics down, you can get...

Sorry, but you can't. There's no hotseat for the game. You'd need a second console. I don't know if there are scenarios for the iphone version. If so see my post above. If not, you're probably out of luck. There is supposed to be some sort of scenario editor for the ipad version, but I...

Some of the scenarios available on the 360 and PS3 have specific victory conditions. I believe there is at least one for each victory type in which the other victory conditions are disabled as well as several other scenarios. But disabling victory conditions shouldn't be a problem. If you...

Yes. It has always worked like that, though in the original release you could produce multiple GP by hitting 100 points simultaneously in different cities or, I think, different tracks in the same city. As you point out, the major advantage wide empires have is gold. If you want to go...

Good thing he didn't try playing Civ4. He'd be at it for a few weeks. I googled him and still don't know who he is.

Looks like that guy got sick of everybody looking at his resume and now you can't view it anymore, but when you could, it said he had spent some time in 2008 working on CivRev2 before it was canceled. It sounds to me like they planned an immediate sequel and then decided against it. Of...
