    Nobles' Club 343: Darius of Persia

    Immortal. 1310AD Domination. Will try Demigod for the next map. Feel like this didn't exist last time I was on the forum...

    Nobles' Club 344: Catherine of Russia

    1AD First game in about seven years so figured I'd get back up to speed with Emperor. Fairly messy but a nice warm up for Immortal on the next NC.

    Started another Deity game. Anybody want to play along or give advice?

    Doesn't BUG stand for BTS unaltered gameplay? The name makes it sound as though it shouldn't be cheating. I'd be interested in joining in with one of these on std/norm settings as it's about time I tried to conquer deity too. Don't have enough time or patience for marathon. Good luck with...

    BOTM 107 Final Spoiler

    Retired in 25AD after attempting (and failing) to roll the map with HAs, and then deciding it would be too depressing to wait to finish it off with a much later date. Started off quite nicely. 1480 BC - HBR (plus Maths and Archery) in. 750 BC - Currency. 700 BC - War with Shaka. 475 BC -...

    NC CLXXIV - Justinian I of the Byzantine Empire

    Thanks for resurrecting this thread. It was a really fun map. Managed to get an immortal conquest win in 1120AD with score of 388861. Pretty high for me, probably because I only whipped on one turn after lib, then ran caste and pacifism.. weird...

    Pesky Vassal

    Lymond seems to have covered the best ways to deal with the cultural pressure directly, but as he touches upon in 3) and 6), there are quicker and easier ways you could go about winning (assuming the ultimate goal is to win rather than to handle the culture problem). It looks as though, as...

    Nobles' Club Bullpen: Fourth Cycle

    Hey Noble's Club organizers. Would one of you be able to answer a quick question for me please. :) In the NC game instructions, it says... Does the save file really need to go in this folder? I know this lets you open it as a scenario so maybe is helpful for mods, but is there any other...

    Deep Learning and Civilization

    My gut instinct (as an experienced Go player) is that Civ IV would be harder for AI than Go or Chess. Civ takes more moves than chess and a fairly similar amount to Go, But Civ will branch very quickly compared to either go or chess. Whereas in chess or go the number of possible moves stays...

    HoF Stats Fun

    Really nice updates once again! :goodjob: Oldest firsts is a nice addition. Creates some targets for people to shoot down! Shame we'll have to go through 24 games (6 sizes, 4 speeds) to make ourselves the oldest. Maybe I'll try to do it for one setting anyway. ^_^ Heading wise I can't...

    Challenge-XVI-07

    From the HOF rules page: The following must not be checked: **snip** •No Espionage So make sure you don't click that option as the game will get rejected.

    Challenge-XVI-09

    Maybe on warlord difficulty/large map you can get away with a sub-par HOF start as huts (read free settlers / workers) will make a huge difference.

    Nice tables! Both of the "Firsts" tables will be quite motivating. Maybe enough to make me brave some Deity games... :s

    G-Major 137

    Right, isn't the phalanx a unique axe rather than a unique spear? If so then the bonus makes sense.

    Challenge-XVI-09

    My ways to feel better about picking the wrong settings: 1. Almost everyone has done it. 2. It's a really good motivator to check in the future. 3. It gives you more reason to play the map again and set a better date. 4. With already having a test run under your belt, you will probably smash...
