Another flawless victory!

@ Krikav Thanks for the production tip!

@ Krikav What am I missing when it comes to production - why not just select the city(ies) and then Alt+click the unit, so that it gets the * and is in permanent queue? Instead of queuing 20 units

Victory! And we already have another game ready! I had an extremely smooth game.

I think so, too. I liked it very much. There was one issue which limited its usefulness in my game, though. I am unsure about which strategies and tech paths people commonly take; for me, however, rifles came almost right after Oromo warriors (so none of my wars were fought with Oromos really)...

I tested it out (or rather, checked it out) and I simply missed that, in the green color, 3-6 first strikes gets listed for a rifleman with 4 "first strike" promotions. And 1 first strike (usually) for a Longbow. Displayed combat odds indeed do differ for the first strike rifle and an...

Thanks! Quite odd that the mod gets the odds wrong when it displays them. I gotta check whether the odds differ depending on which unit I choose... (I'll choose a rifle with and without first strikes to compare) That is certainly a display bug, then? That would mean that the percentage is...

What if I have a rifleman that has 2 first strikes, fighting a longbow that has 1 first strike, attacking it in a city? What the mod shows as fight odds is confusing (or maybe it is right?), in that it shows that rifle's first striked are not counted in such a fight and are thus useless And I...

I am also considering several different plays from this point onwards as far as teching is concerned. Steam Power seems good with a few big rivers on the map. Then again, Kremlin and rushbuying seems good, too; even though I actually rarely use the option once I get it. Thirdly, Physics and...

A couple of quick questions. In a fight between an Oromo warrior that should have +2 first strikes, and a Longbow that's defending a city, who has the actual first strikes? I ask because when I mouseover the defender to see the fight odds, the mod shows only Longbow's first strikes. I got a...

Thank you for the tips! Interesting read. Why is the Great Spy the best GP? They always seemed close to being the worst, just behind the artists. :D I always liked those prophets. They give me both production and gold in the capital, and that's always welcome.

Just one more turn! :D

I am watching Lain's game with great interest, cool that he's doing one of these. I am curious about one thing - he did not enter worldbuilder and add archery and those other deity technologies to Barbs like the first post in this topic says. Isn't that a problem?

Plenty of fun still awaits even after that...

No problem at all. No need to apologize. You were just trying to help, and all ideas are welcome. And things often work out in quite unusual ways when it comes to computers. :) I am grateful just the same. The whole story gets even weirder, but it somehow worked out in the end. So I install...

I figured so, as well, but I prefer checking before with those who could know better than me. An odd turn of events followed. I read your post, tried, and 3.19 patch setup, once I start it, wants to remove the game. OTOH, 3.17 patch initializes and offers to install. Very weird.

Yeah, I agree with digital being great. You can always redownload, and you don't have to pile DVDs, and such. When I run Civ through Steam, though, it keeps (kept) starting up some of its extras which make everything just ever so slightly laggy and less responsive on my PC. I have the one Leif...

Oh, I'm speaking about a legit, normal version. I probably spoke poorly and now you misunderstood me - "burned" by the producers/creators. They all "burn" the DVD-s, and every such process shows the dates of the files on the disc. :) So when I take a look at the DVD contents, I see the dates...

That's a great tip! Indeed that was possible, I was not checking. I think it is not the case here, though. I have uninstalled everything. Then I reinstalled Civ4 complete. For now I cannot start BTS (I have not patched anything yet) - and that is to be expected with no patch, according to this...
