    ... and still Civ4 is superior. I'm sad.

    So i got Civ5 when it got released - huge disappointment, and it actually was pretty obvious that it would never be a good game of the franchise because they just ed up too many things. Recently, a lot of friends (and reviews, professional and casual ones alike) said that Civ5 had been improved...

    Caught up in the middle - elephants delight

    Napoleon, Deity, Pangea, No Huts/Events, everything else standard/default. Why should you play this? Well... let me say, this, the map has something to offer for everyone. Well, maybe except for the builders... so, everyone = the warmongers among us ;) Spoiler for map info 1. Light...

    Airships

    Title says it all, and as the search function didn't bring up any good results regarding this topic i decided to start a new one. Do you build them? How to use them? When? Is it worth beelining them? And everything else that comes up in your mind on this topic. Personally, i found them to...

    Starts of doom

    Welcome folks, here's one really freaking tough start i've rolled in one of my last games, and i'd really love to see someone beating this one. Personally, i really consider this one as to be unwinnable, but judge for yourself: Warrior moved already to the only direction that made...

    Continents - remarkable hard @ Deity?

    Hey folks, so, i've been playing Deity for some games now, suprisingly with quite some sucess (roughly 10 games, won ~ 7 out of 10). Played them all on Pangea or Fractal (random leader, 6 random AIs, no huts/events, everything else standard), as those are my favourite mapscripts. Although...

    Pop1 city capture=raze probability

    Is there a formula or anything else worth knowing? Searched a little bit but thought, what the heck, i'm not playing deity so i don't have to know everything :D Hope that's not an incredible stupid question like the ones i've stated lately ;) For those who want to know why i'm asking this, here...

    Cross the Ocean Pre-Optics...how?

    I'm 100% certain that Vicky couldn't have come from somewhere else but right this point, so how did she do that, means: settle Warwick? Another AI cheat? "Oh, let's give AIs the ability to cross ocean tiles with galleys, sounds fun"? As you can see MY galley can't reach her land by no means.

    Barbs gift cities.... or what happened here?

    Civ4 BTS 3.19 with BUG, don't think that the settings matter here but they were Immortal/Epic/Random Leaders/Huts+Events Off and everything else standard. So, there i was, scouting the land with my axe and suddenly... native american territory, far away from his mainland? Like, 12 tiles away...

    Where was that file again...

    ... where you can see ALL the information you need to know about AI behaviour, e.g. unitbuildprob, if they declare @ pleased, chance of building wonders / settlers / whatever, what their fav. religion is and all this? Searched the whole freakin' forum and googled like a thousand times, just...

    So what happens if...

    ... every single tile on the entire landmass is covered with one unit, even the ones that are inside enemy borders because you have open borders with him, and the open borders agreement ends? let's also say your units can't embark. what happens then? they die a painful death because they can't swim?

    CiV Design - Sucess and failure

    this ain't another "ohh ciV sucks so much" thread, maybe i'll get advise through this .. well, whatever. what's great: 1. military/warfare is ALOT more fun, no doubt. although, moving multiple units at the front can get a little annoying because it needs alot of micro to set them up...

    Mapgenerator helps when trying to move up in difficulty?

    hey folks, this may sound stupid, but i recently tried to play deity a bit ... failed miserably, but i somehow realized that the game gave me 10 or so EPIC startpositions. all-green-capitol with lots of production, great sorrounding land, nice neighbours, alot of food, room for at least 10...

    Seafood - Avoid for more Landtiles?

    hey, simple question: which position would you settle and why? personally, i lean towards the right position, the left needs a borderpop (and as you can see i randomed spain) for fish, has low production and alot more of junk seatiles. right doesnt need a borderpop right away, has instant...
