Hello everyone, a monarch player here asking for tips. While my tech rate is most of the times very good even without using tech trading, I think I could do a lot better. Some players get liberalism very early, or get a space victory in year 1700 or whatever. I want to know some short...

Hello. I've been wondering if the two following things are possible to add to the game. I don't know anything about modding, that's why I don't know the limit of what's possible to do and what not. So here I go: - "Situational" Music: Having both peace and war music separated by eras that...

Really, this is one of my favorite games but at the same time is the most frustrating that I've ever played: strong learning curve, cheap AI, fake difficulty, losing at 90+% odds, this game has everything to piss you off. This week I played three games: in the first one I was doing great, and...

Hello everyone. I came up with the idea of creating a campaign. I love stories, I love scripted events, that's why I love RTS games (Age of Empires, Starcraft, you name it), and while I love Civ IV as well, the fact that you can't play a structured campaign still disappoints me even after 3...

Hello everyone. My VGA from my gaming rig suddenly stoped working a week ago (I still don't know exactly what happened, from one moment to another my computer stopped recognizing the card), so I started playing Civ IV on my laptop, a very old one. It has a good proccessor but the graphics...

I've been playing Civ IV for over 3 years now. 2 days ago I started a new game, standard size, shuffle map, normal speed, random leader personalities and Monarch difficulty (I barely won one Monarch game before). Also it was my first time using the BUG mod (with a combination of the Better AI...

Hello everyone. I moved from Warlord to Prince in a couple of months. Good times, indeed. Then I moved up to Monarch, and after a few tries I won (it was a small map, though). So I started to use the Better AI Mod since I heard good things about it, and now I barely survive playing at Prince...

Hi, I have been reading the forums for a while now, it's very entertaining, and very helpful too (thanks to this site I jumped from Chieftain to Prince...) Anyway, more on that later. I have a question about WW. I recently installed patch 3.19 for BTS; I jumped all the way from 3.13. So, it's...
