When a civ I am at war with offers capitulation is it a good decision to accept when aiming for domination victory? I'm currently playing a game where I have captured 3 cities from De Gaulle. He offers capitulation now but still has 5 cities (including Paris). The game started with 6...

In the following screenshot Gandhi is on the left and Wang Kon on the right side: - Gandhi has Feudalism since some turns - Wang Kon has Feudalism since this turn - I have traded Feudalism with Wang Kon this turn - Relationship between Wang and Gandhi is pleased - Relationship between Wang...

Is the New World west or east of the Old Continent on a flat Terra map or is it just random? (Or can it be even north or south?) I usually played cylindrical world wrap and for some reason I always sailed towards west and found the new continent. Now I have a flat map (which I completely...

This is me as Joao against Shaka: Shaka has neither horses nor metal. So, I thought, nice, no Impis, this will be an easy task for Horse Archers. I'm indeed facing only Archers and sometimes a Warrior in his cities. But this city already destroyed so many HAs that I don't want to think...

I'm trying my first Immortal game, oh, oh... :crazyeye: Started with Pangaea map, standard size and speed and random civ/leader and got Roman Empire/Augustus Caesar (IND/IMP traits). Rome starts with Fishing and Mining. I have researched Agriculture (to get at least a 4 food tile for my...

Don't worry! I don't intend to create another monster thread for a complete game like my current Monarch thread. :) elitetroops suggested at the beginning of that thread to try Suryavarman as a decent leader (with the nice creative trait) who is neither among the best nor the worst. And I...

I'm wondering if I can try a diplomatic victory in my current game. At the moment there are 4 rival civs. I'm at war with one (Brennus) and I believe I will win it. The relationships with the other 3 civs that will remain then are: - Friendly with Justinian - Changing up and down between...

I have my first game on Monarch level running and my feeling is that it goes neither very badly nor particularly well. I'm somewhere in mid game (Replacable Parts in tech tree) and couldn't say for sure if I will win or lose. Both is still possible and the game is definitely a challenge for me...

I have read several times now that the Apostolic Palace can spoil someone's game when an AI civ suddenly wins a diplomatic AP victory. There was often the suggestion to find the AP civ and city, declare war and destroy it which seems like a somewhat drastic measure to me. Is it or can it become...

The attached screen shot is with Darius on Monarch Level and it's turn 1. I have just moved the Scout but the Settler moves are still available. I'm considering to found the capital on the grassland hill where the settler just is because it's on the river (health bonus) and I would have a lot...

I've started a new game with Hatshepsut on Prince Level and on a Pangaea map. Hatshepsut starts with The Wheel and Agriculture. From there I went Animal Husbandry (to improve the pig tile first) -> Mining (got 3/4 of the research turns from a village) -> Pottery (to continue with cottaging...

I have started this game to go for maybe a cultural win with a lot of wonder building. However, I'm struggling right now a bit because I'm kind of squeezed between 2 civs and food resources for founding my fourth city are quite far away. I'm considering X1 on the attached screenshot because...

I'm a relatively new player of Civ4. After playing around on the low difficulty levels without any real strategy I began to struggle on Noble level and watched that long video series on Youtube about playing as Willem van Oranje ("Sulla" is the author of that series). I learned a lot, tried it...
