So what are the distinct features between the three? Are there limitations for training or arming Indentured Servants and Petty Criminals? (on a similar note, I really wish they'd publish the pedia online so I can read through it when I'm at work)

Ok, if you've been following the Many Leaders Game 2 (and if you haven't, what's wrong with you?) you know that I've been playing an espionage-heavy game. So it's only fitting that the first BTS SG I run has absolutely no espionage in it whatsoever. Civ: To be discussed and determined by...

Warning: Poster is about to torture some logic. Look away if squeamish. In the various Civ:Rev threads one of the major concerns that keeps appearing is the idea that if Civ:Rev is successful, CivV will incorporate some aspects and essentially "dumb down" the franchise to increase popular...

We don't need every CivFanatic in the US/Canada starting a new thread just because they bought the game. If you now have it, add a post here with the details. Grazie.

I know they just announced it today, but we might want to create a Civilization Revolution forum. Since it's a new game (not Civ 4 for Consoles/Handhelds) it doesn't belong in the existing Civ 4 forum, and I'm sure there's going to be a lot of speculation etc. and it'd be best if the Civ 4...

We have so many "favorite new" threads, I thought by rating them we'd be able to help those visiting the forum. Links: Favorite New Leader for Existing Civ Favorite New non-AP Wonder What's the best new UU? What is your favorite new BtS Civ? What's the best new UB? Favorite New Thread...

Introduction Well, after much discussion and playtesting here and especially here, we're at a new point with re-imagining the current Tech Tree. The main elements we are looking to retain from the prior threads are Less rigid Tech Tree Discovery/Mastery levels for the Techs Player...

Firaxis drops a bombshell in the chat: Holy Roman Empire is in BTS with Charlemagne as a leader. The question is: Good move, bad move, or meh?

We've radically changed the mechanic, so I've started a new thread here. I'm leaving the originals intact for reference/historical purposes. This thread is being spun off of this one in order to make discussion easier (since that thread really described two different mechanisms). Mxzs did...

Ok, the libertarian in me is disgusted at the current choices in Government Civics in Civ 4. So I want to come up with a new one. Town Hall Upkeep: None (since each city essentially runs itself) Required Tech: I'm thinking either Education or Guilds Effects: ... ? The non-existent...

We've radically changed the mechanic, so I've started a new thread here. I'm leaving the originals intact for reference/historical purposes. A New Tech Tree Mechanic for Civilization 5 Last updated: 6/7/07 This thread was inspired by this thread by dh_epic The philosophy of the...

Ok, my "Should Firaxis make a Bizarro Leader Expansion?" thread got me thinking: instead of dubious leaders, how about those that probably would be in serious discussion for a leader if not for fate intervening? For discussion purposes, let's stick to those whose reign was cut short very...

While jokingly suggesting that Alcibiades be a new Greek Leader, it occured to me that there's probably a lot of dubious leaders in history that would be fun to play. So far I got: Greece: Alcibiades England: Neville Chamberlain France: Philippe Pétain United States: Warren G. Harding...

After BTS, what do you want to see next, Civilization 5 (with all that entails: new graphics engine, new features/gameplay, PC upgrades) or a 3rd Expansion Pack (more Civs/Leaders and Scenarios, probably very few new features/upgrades left)?

(Haven't done one of these for awhile, so...) I got a pic of Pisgah Forest, although really it's just a foreground shot of yellowing leaves (odd for August, more of a October shot) and a misty tree background.

Link. I know not everybody is a fan of Bill Simmons (or even knows who he is), but I'm curious as to what people (especially the EPL fans on the board) think about his comments.

In an announcement that probably comes as a surprise to nobody (a hermit in Appalachia was quizzed on the matter, and he too saw it coming), Arena will be leaving at the end of the year. Link: Reactions? Thoughts? Replacements?

This thread is the result of the wanton slanderish attacks against my person in the "Israel allowing only Jews on flights" thread. ;) --- In today's world of a million-and-one bloggers, pundits, mouthpieces, off-topic forums, and bobbleheads, it's seems like everything becomes a crisis. As a...
