Hello Civ-Fanatics, I rolled a decent start with Hannibal, that I would like to share, paired with the asking for some advice on how to continue from here. This is the start: Currently I am at 50 A.D., not in a too bad shape I think, but I am lacking a plan on how to win this map...

Since there weren't many immortal maps posted lately I would like to share this one with interested Civ-IV-players. I already played it through and had more fun then hazzle with it. It has a nice start, a leader with good traits and probably many different approaches how to win it. It is...

Hi everybody, I played a random pangea game with Tokugawa. Since I found marble I thought drafting would be nice for a change. The tech pace of the game was rather slow, I took nationalism from Lib although I surely could have gone deeper in the tech tree. So I had some nice upgraded...

I was reading in an older post, dont recall exactly which one, that rifling should be hit at 1000 AD on immortal. I win on immortal about 2/3rds of my games but I hardly meet this timeline, even with marble and TGL/Parthenon. So I am wondering how other players do it - 0) Which leaders are...

After many pangea games and the feeling, that fractal can be very random in terms of the land to be expected (I am referring to Gwajas return game ;) ) I wanted to try the earth map again, fixing the Mountain glitch that separates North from South America in world builder and go with one of the...

Please excuse the provocing title. I am sure they are great but I find them difficult to utilize on that level. I am playing through all leaders on Immortal pangea, dont micro-manage every detail, but aim for a finish date before 1700 A.D. (which I usually meet when marble is around :) ) and...

Hi everybody, I rolled this start with Sury and the map is driving me nuts: the problem is: (Spoiler contains information about neighbors and my attempts) My question to you: what is a (the best) fast way to finish this? Help is much appreciated.

For a change, I thought about trying a water map on Immortal with Ragnar. For some reason I like this character, I thing I won my first game with him, following TMITs strategy in his youtube video. However, this time I am kind of lost here, and I reloaded a couple of times to optimise my play...

Hi everybody, there is another Sury game out there, but I just got a new PC and after installing Civ, I rolled this game - huts and events are on, normal speed, immortal difficulty, I finally can play the game with high details on :) Now I stuck at 100 AD with some questions about how to...

Hi everybody, although there is another Toku game around I am posting this and ask you for your advice. It is a normal speed pangea setting without huts and events. I somehow feel like a blockade when I start with Toku. He can't be that bad. So perhaps one of you is in the mood to play...

Hi civers, I felt like trying good old Ragnar on a water map, archipelago, snaky continents, immortal, normal speed. Easy going, right? But after the x-th failed attempt I am asking for some pro advice on this particular map: The problems I've encountered are: So this is what...

Hi everybody, while getting okay results on Emperor, I am still struggeling with winning on Immortal on a regular basis. I was wondering if somebody in the forum finds time (and patience) to walk me through on this map to improve my play. I tried this map already, but quit after I took...

This seems to be a pretty decent start with nice surroundings. Kind of a compensation :). Have fun.

Fellow civers, I rolled a start that is really driving me crazy. I tried a couple of times, but for some reason I fall behind very quick or/and struggle to get enough cities to keep up with the AI. How would you play this, when would you go to war and against which AI? Here is the...

Maybe my excpectations are to high, but I dont know how the RNG works sometimes. After starting an archipelago map with snaky continents and eight civs I resigned after the initial exploration of my own starting continent - the start looks great, but the number of possible city sites with at...

Hi everybody, I found this map somewhat challenging and I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions on a possible strategy for it. After playing to 675 B.C. I don't see any valid options to win with how I played the start. At turn 5 I made some disturbing discoveries and it didnt...

Hi everybody, I am playing on Emperor/Immortal and was thinking about a game that would make best use of the pre-rifle gunpowder UU some civs (Mehmet, Suleiman, Zara) have and combine it with a very early cannon siege. Did someone perhaps try that and can help me out here? I thought l would...

Hi everybody, I rolled a game with Darius on a fractal map with normal speed, Emperer difficulty and a quite promising start. I saw Now I would be grateful for help with the future strategy and city placements. Since I am financial, I think I go with cottages, but I would really appreciate...

In one of his Lets play videos, TheMeInTeam mentioned something like 'some people have tanks by now' when it was around 1500 or so. I usually play Monarch to Emperor and I never get even close to getting tanks/bombers that time, so I was wondering what would be the conditions to reach that (of...

Dear civ fanatics, I learned a lot while reading here, now I am trying to move up to emperor, feeling secure on prince and reasonable at monarch. Now I would like to ask for your advises on a game I recently played (and lost btw) to handle these kinds of situations (initial save I attached)...
