    BOTM 61 -- First spoiler to 1AD

    Have not played in quite a long time. I started playing again last month and had to re-learn a lot of things and am still in that process. I moved to the hill 1N and went quickly for workboats, and Stonehenge. I built cities north of the copper, far east by clam and west of stone. Hooked...

    G-Minor 135

    Started a second game and this time managed to finish, still had a lot of problems, but it went much better than first game. Finished with Mansa in 2010AD. He started building spaceship parts in the late 1900s. :p

    G-Minor 135

    Well, I tried this, using Asoka as my PA (I didn't assign leaders, just took all random) and that's not working. (I'm at 75k+ and his biggest is only at 18k.) I guess I'll need to do some more reading before trying again.

    News: BOTM 49 -- Starts December 16

    Lots of complaints about Vikings on a Great Plains map, but having just played a bunch of G-minor 133 games (OCC Space on Great Plains), there is water in the SE corner of Great Plains, and we are talking about a map maker that like to change things, so I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see...

    G-Minor 133

    I just finished my best tonight (1725) and had the same thing you did, park and globe after preserves->workshops. Think I need more cottages (only had 4) to speed up economy early and then switch them out for production later. May try that next. The last three games I submitted have all been...

    G-Minor 133

    I never understand when to stop using a resource like that.

    G-Minor 133

    Just improved to 1770, using plains/flood plains and a couple hills and Ghandi. Nice start with 2 cows, 2 wheat, gem hill and spices in BFC, wine just outside, stone 2 rings out, and coal and oil both showed up later. Had to trade for iron and copper. I held off on Pyramids until stone was...

    G-Minor 133

    So, apparently you can't just build one of each piece and expect your ship to make it. Even if it did, I was still in the early 1800s. I saw no point in building another one. :p This was also my first attempt with forest/preserves, and no pyramids. Because of that I forgot to get...

    G-Minor 133

    I guess the floodplain/cow spots just aren't working. I've done this 4 times and slowly getting better, but still in 1800s. Going to try the forest method now.

    G-Minor 133

    I have played this twice, the second time only took two hours. Dates of 1927 and 1890. I used the peaceful OCC guide as a basis. Kinda funny getting attacked by the AI near the end. I had only a warrior and axe in my city, built two tanks and wiped out a couple cities defended by longbows...

    Win7 keeps replacing CivilizationIV.ini file

    Weird, I just noticed this happening recently as well. My game started playing videos on opening and isn't autloading BUFFY anymore. I'm actually looking for the notes on how to put it back in since it's been a long time.

    BOTM 28 First Spoiler - 500 AD

    Just recently got back into Civ, as Civ 4 wasn't working very well on my previous pc. Picked up Civ 4 Complete and have been trying to figure out all the changes in BTS. Nothing like a Deity BOTM to be your first. Cities I read the opening thread for pointers, and decided I was probably...

    Civ4 GOTM 52 First Spoiler - 500 AD

    This is my first GOTM in a very long time. Finally got a computer that can play Civ 4, but never got back into it until recently. I did play a partial test game and learned that its not too hard to beat the ai in the land grab. So I felt comfortable moving the settler 2NW to look around after...

    News: WOTM28 - Starts 27 February

    So, it's been a LONG time since I played GOTM here, I quit playing when Civ 4 came out because my computer couldn't handle it. I finally got one that could, but never really got back into it until very recently. I've played a couple vanilla games, and tried out GOTM51 to get back on my feet...

    SGOTM 07 - Misfits

    Looks like I won't be able to play the next game since I don't have BTS but I'm sure I'll be lurking and watching.

    Really great job everyone :goodjob:. I have been following this daily, going cross-eyed at times, but it has been very interesting and informative.

    SGOTM 07 - Misfits

    I know some of you will be upset with me for bowing out this turnset, but I'm definately not comfortable with everything going on and I won't have time to post a plan, wait for replies and play tonight (or likely tomorrow night either). I think at this point I would like to pass, and in fact...

    SGOTM 07 - Misfits

    I've never done a PA before, is this something that shows up as a trade option when it becomes available? I just need to know what I'm looking for.
