153 turns into a game (LoR mod, Huge, Marathon, Noble, Greeks) I am tempted to quit and start over. I bee-lined to Bronze Working and discovered that the nearest copper was 16 tiles away from Athens (my capital) and on the far side of the Sioux Empire. Without copper (and Hoplites) Greece is...

I am getting tired of the mechanics of diplomacy in Civ IV BtS. The last straw came when I saw that another empire had given me a -1 hit because Our close borders spark tensions. Our empires are on separate land masses and our closest borders are separated by 11 ocean tiles. But even outside of...

On the lower right hand side of the screen, next to each opponent, there is a number which represents your relative military power. How is that calculated? Because it doesn't seem to be very accurate. I am not a code writer/reader.

In my current (solo) game the Mayan emperor contacted me and demanded that I stop trading with Dido, the Carthaginian Empress. The odd part is that the Mayan empire is a vassal of the Carthaginian empire. I have never seen that happen before, and I'm surprised it's even possible. I am playing...

Even with 'Sid's Tips' turned off the game recommends the "best" units/improvements to build next and the "best" sites to build a city. With experience (and through reading these forums) I've learned that many of these game generated recommendations are bad advice and actually lead to less than...

I am a warmonger. When do I attack? Especially late in the game it makes all of the empires pissed off.

1. Does the AI ever forget a DoW? If I trespass across another Civ's cultural boundary in 2700 BC because their cultural boundaries expanded and trapped my scout, will they still be angry about it four thousand years later? Even if there was no fighting involved? Or does the cry of "Get...

I am frequently frustrated when reading articles that I really want to understand here at CivFanatics. The Commonly Used Acronyms in the Civ Community http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/reference/acronyms.php needs to be updated, advertised, and improved. Too many of the articles in these...

Late in a game (huge map, marathon) I invaded the Celts, landing a large SoD from a fleet which included 3 super carriers, several battle ships, more than a dozen destroyers, a big fleet. Proceeded to shellac the two nearest cities with air raids. The Celts opened their next turn by dropping...

Just finished a Revolutions mod game that took 199 hours. Domination in A.D. 2058. I'd turned off everything but domination, Space Race or total win options. Huge map, marathon. I didn't use Nukes (but my neighbors sure did). Toward the end the turns were really tedious. I had 102 cities. But I...

I have this persistent problem and I need help: I don't like attacking and slaughtering my neighbors. If they 'like' me or are 'friendly' I have a hard time telling them that their head would look good on the end of a pole. And I'm playing conquest games, so go figure. I don't have any such...

I have found that being screamingly aggressive at iron age is a win. Killing off two civs at that point seems to seal the deal. If you can also get great wall then so much the better as everybody else is fighting off barbs. But I would like to get better at this game and I am a slow learner! :lol:

Huge map, single player marathon games. Specific advice for the long game players. It's a very different game.

Pressing the Windows Key + M doesn't minimize the game (in Win 7 64 Premium).

After saving a game & trying to exit to windows the game freezes. Win 7 returns a message that Civ V has stopped responding and is shutting it down. Doesn't seem like a particularly elegant way to shut down the game. ;)
