    Alphy's Prince LP - China

    I really wanted to start playing again and doing an LP seems like the logical choice. I chose Prince because it is one step easier for me and then I can show the difference of the higher levels and what changes can and must be done to achieve victory or defeat. That and everyone is doing deity...

    The Case Against Using Scouts

    I see the benefits of building scouts first: ruins city states barb camps natural wonders other civs terrain but I do not think a Scout is worth building to achieve these. Ruins go pretty fast, your starting warrior can find 2-3 before there all gone, so why waste a scout to find 1...

    2 Great Scientists in 1 Turn Not Possible

    Last night I was playing and tried to get 2 great scientists in 2 cities on the same turn. I calculated correctly, but only got 1. Now I know its possible to get more than 2 GP in the same turn, same or different cities, but has this always been the case? :confused:

    Make Settlers Obsolete

    1. The AI builds settlers all game long. 2. When you get to later eras, nothing but cities exist. 3. Settlers settling starts wars. So how about we make settlers trainable for the first 3 eras of the game or make them obsolete after a certain tech, that would make the game a lill better...

    [BUG] .348 AI unit Garrisons In My Town

    I went to war with Babylon against America. Babylon killed a unit next to my city and then it moved into my city after the battle. I notice this bug seems to exist since the game began and also have noticed that the game glitches and the icon is not in the same tile as the actual unit, but...

    Special Challenge Series (Vote Yes or No)

    I want toe expand my Youtube channel to include some CIV content and as I see that the LP is nice being taken, how about a challenge everyone can participate. What it would mean, is that I would give a challenge and the person to obtain it the quickest using standard speed/map gets a cookie...

    Convince Me to Train Scouts

    I never train scouts, no matter the map type, I do not build scouts. I dont see the point. I do scout with my early warrior, but I just mow people down and usually the AI finds me. I dont have to worry about barbs, dont really care about anicent ruins. Is there a game changing reason to...

    Constant Golden Ages w/ GP

    I just completed my first campaign with the new patch, and I find GA very easy to obtain. When the game ended on turn 376, I had been in a golden age for atleast 100 turns and still had 20 more turns to go. Most of it was because of the new way GP work and how fast you can get them now after...

    Too Many Resources

    Sorry if this has been discussed earlier, but since the patch, I noticed that many more tiles have resources on them, whether I set the option for Strategic Balance or Standard. Below is a Standard map size, Sandstorm, Standard Resources :eek:

    CiV is cheaper than Civ 4

    With the most recent DLC, I thought I would look at the cost of CiV compared to Civ 4 based on number of civilizations available since that is what the DLC gives us. Currency is rounded US dollars Civilization 4: $50 Warlords: $30 Beyond the Sword: $30 Total Investment: $110 Total Civs...

    Preventing AI City Spam

    I am trying to figure out how the AI civs can spam lots of settlers without really any reason. I autoplay 100 turns to see what happens on deity and I have changed the following, 1 at a time, and nothing seems to work. Changed AI expansion flavor all to 1 Changed Settler to be non...

    Changing Gold Cost w/o Changing Production Cost

    Is there a way to change the gold cost of buying a unit without changing the production cost? I really want to make the settler impossible to buy by changing the purchase cost or changing that disables the cost. Anyone know?

    Changing City Spacing Did Nothing for ICS

    Increasing the city spacing from 2 to 3 did nothing for the AI but make land grabbing more important and you will more quickly run out of land to settle. And also, the SP granting a free settler doesnt help. I think they made ICS stronger by faster growth in cities and making land grabbing a...
