    Naval Strategy

    J Bryan is playing without the 101 patch. I remember that you could buy SOLs in the off the shelf version.

    Phantom Colonist Bug

    Yes, I have had it happen to me. Similarly I have clicked and dragged resources into the colony from a wagon or ship to the colony and it disappears as well. I have found if one is very carefull with where the "drop" is done - all comes as expected. So it may be that the "drop point" is...

    Mod Buddy Problem

    I used world builder to make a map of eastern Germany and European Soviet Union in 1941. Placed cities, rail line, resources and units. Basically everything the way it was in June 1941. When I opened mod buddy so that I could formalize the map it said I needed to download some files which I did...

    turn off citizen automation

    Ah well that may have been Sjeffers problem placing them in one colony when he had already placed someone there in another.

    turn off citizen automation

    Dalgo's point that there maybe overlapping teritories between two colonies does not sound right to me. If a square is bing worked by another colony - in a farm for instance - you cannot even place a colonist from the other colony in that space. I agree that when an enemy force (or even not...

    Huge Invasion Force... Is that normal?

    JBryan: I would also suggest that you read one or two of the strategies posted in that forum section. Does not even have to be mine.

    Does Civ4 run on Windows 7 properly?

    I play Colonization just fine on Windows 7. Remember also, if for some reason there is some glitch with Civ 4 remember there always is the option to play in compatability mode.

    Then I played a game...now I'm a BELIEVER!

    Wow - I can believe a game in 30 minutes either! Otherwise I agree with windfoot that it depends on how much you micromanage your wagons. When I set up my wagon trains on automate a game with a standard map size at normal speed I would say it takes me between 10 and 16 hours of game time. A...

    Warehouse Expansion not selling Excess?

    To answer your question - yes - the reason why the expanded warehouse is not selling those goods is because the goods are being boycotted. The same thing happens when you declare independence and go for democracy except that no goods are sold in excess of the 300 allowed they just start...

    Who is the best leader to learn the game with?

    I voted for John Adams, but it was a hard choice. For my style of play (see the Winston Churchill strategy post) Washington does not help much at all. However I also love Peter Stuyvesant due to starting with a Merchantman as it means you do not have to save up to buy one relatively early in...

    Schools & Churchs - what % of your cities have these?

    I will typically build churches and schools in my feeder towns only after I have built a warehouse, stockade, armory and printing press (in that order). In my main city I wait till after I have a factory level building for all the resources I have readily available in my feeder towns.

    The Winston Churchill Strategy

    “We shall fight them on the beaches…” Winston Churchill June 4, 1940. I have not seen this overall strategy set out on the forum so I thought I would outline it for those that have tried others and may want to try a new one or folks new to the game. I have employed this...
