Specific trade routes in Civ 2 are cool. Supply and demand are cool; although I agree, it's not something I expect in Civ 4. Not-so-cool things about caravans in Civ 2: * The bonuses you get upon establishing a trade route are too large. Expert Civ 2 players routinely abuse initial...

I don't think that's even the main reason why realism isn't such a hot idea. I mean, there were plenty of ideas that were considered for the original Civilization that didn't make it in because otherwise the game would not fit on two floppy disks. (Does anyone miss the hovercraft units that...

I'm interested, but there are three potential problems: I won't be able to play until Tuesday, maybe Wednesday. I only have RaR 1.03 beta installed. Where to get the not-yet-official 1.04 isn't obvious. :confused: Should this be? I don't have a complete Deity military win, which you...

Sorry, personal issues have come up in my life that have delayed matters. I'll try to finish the turns (I'm about halfway through) and post by tomorrow Saturday evening If I don't ... well, it's been too long, you might want to skip me. My apologies. :(

I'm going to take one extra day to finish this. OK, so it's unexpected. Sorry for the delay!

Yeah, so I've taken a while. I'll have it by tomorrow night, barring the unexpected.

I got it. :) No, I'm here and have been following this thread all along. I've actually been spending lots of time on Civ, trying (but failing) to complete Epic 36 (I greatly underestimated how long it would take to finish, though modern-age sneak attacks on a huge map never help finishing a...

Ah, good to see victory at last. Great game, guys! :thumbsup: About the changes: I have to say that the specialist changes (taxman = 2 coins, scientist = 3 flasks), the space changes, the new mandatory techs, and the new improved muskets, rifles, and infantry are all changes for the better...

Ack, I can't get at a Civ3-capable computer for the next two more days or so. RJ, can you finish this one off? Alternatively, you could wait for me, but I don't mind not having the glory of wrapping things up. :)

I got it. I don't think I'll be able to play today, but I can probably do it tomorrow.

IT: Where are our workers, and why do we have so few of them? Oh well, this game is in the bag one way or the other, so I won't stress about it. :) Swap Paoting from hospital to cathedral (this city is not going to reach size 12 soon). Swap Tatung from hospital to coal plant (this city...

I have eight turns played, and will get the other two played this evening. I'm setting up for RJ to deliver some birthday presents to the Indians. :devil2: The Indians had MI's at the start of my turn, and attacking MI's in metros without modern toys is a major pain. We aren't actually that...

I said this: Um, that's not quite right. Let me fix that: The MPP triggers if we attack a unit in Greek territory, or end the turn of a unit in Greek territory. That's how the inter-turn MPP declarations happen; civilizations A and B have a MPP, you have a unit in the territory of...

So I have three rounds in, scoring +20.0, +23.1, and +16.6. This does not seem to jibe with the official total of +57.7. I'd like to request an investigation into T-enron's accounting practices. :p :crazyeye:

The MPP triggers if we attack a unit in Greek territory, or end the turn of a unit in Greek territory. That's how the inter-turn MPP declarations happen; civilizations A and B have a MPP, you have a unit in the territory of civilization B, civilization A declares war on you, and before you can...

Hey guys, sorry I wasn't able to quite finish in time. The soap opera that is the MLB playoffs has been rather distracting! IT: What's this? The Koreans do not have a monopoly on Medicine; Egypt has it too. The lies some CEO's tell, sheesh. :rant: I renegotiate our peace treaty with...

I got it. Normally, I'd research straight to Modern Armor before attacking, because we're now close to it anyway, but that wouldn't be much of a test of this mod, right? :)

I played most of my turn tonight, getting to the 10th turn but not quite being able to finish before I had to stop. We are now a corporate police state! :devil2: Or at least we now have a whole bunch of police stations. Most of the significant banks and stock exchanges are also now done...

Korea or someone might get to build the UN, but by population we're guaranteed to be their election opponent, and we know how to buy alliances against a potential diplomatic victor. Nobody will win an election. Well, we broke an alliance with every civilization remaining in the game -- what...

Nothing of tremendous interest happened this turn, so I'll just summarize again. We discovered Mass Production, Motorized Transport, and Radio, and just started research on Flight. We should save up some money, as we probably won't be able to sustain max rate research in the Modern Age...
