I was just about to shut down IE, and start up Civ4 when I saw this...:lol: Look back...

From a consequence of pre-order from Amazon, bad timing, and impatience I ended up buying two copys for Civ4. Which is actually not a bad thing, because I own two computers (gaming computer and laptop). I'd been swapping the first play disk between the two computers. But last night I...

I noticed the main game was going to have a screenshot thread. Can we do the same here? How about screenshots at least at the beginning or end of each DP turns? Maybe some important events... 4000 BC http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=3310585&postcount=10 3050 BC...

I really enjoy Standard and smaller maps. I do well and win most of them up to Prince. I tried a couple of games on Large Maps and one on Huge Maps. I just don't do well. I'm not sure what the difference is. I even went down to Warlord to give it a go, but I just seem to missing something...

I had just started my first war about the time of Samurai and was reseaching quickly for catapults. Pretty typical start build a melee army, while a research to catapults. Plenty of Samurai ready and cities just waiting to convert to catapults. Early in the war, my enemy sent a stack after...

I'm fairly early in a game (before Gunpowder) and I've just vanquished my sole enemy on the continent. At this point, once the enemy cities grow their culture a couple of times I will have every land square on the continent covered. There are quite a few workable sqares that are avaliable...

I'm fairly early in a game (before Gunpowder) and I've just vanquished my sole enemy on the continent. I misjudged taking his last two cities, so I have a decent amount of extra military about. (Usually I try to time it so that I take the final city with just enough military might.) So what...

Has anyone seen any large inland seas? I've been playing on continents and haven't seen a one of them. This was one of my favorite features of Civ3 map generator. Every once in a while there would ba a large inland sea that usually turned out being strategically important. It was really...

It seems like there are two times when I am really annoyed by the production suggestion of Settlers. 1) When I'm at war and am taking cities from the AI. For the turns that the city is in civil unrest and until the culture takes control the AI ALWAYS wants me to build Settlers. Why, why...

Does the program see future resources and recommend city locations based on this? The reason I ask is because in my last game early on I went to found two cities and the program recommended a site that was 1 square off where I put the cities. In a few turns I discover Iron Working and...

I played last night for the first time (seems pretty obvious). And during the late game one of the border cities of the AI revolted. Basically it looked like the city square itself was the only square the AI controlled and the surrounding couple of squares were part of my culture. When this...

Check out this comic... Today's (1/21/2004) is pretty good. ExtraLife "Attention All Units...."

After reading another thread need to ask the question. Does the AI shoot for a specific win condition? If so how early can you figure out which condition it is shooting for? Or can you? I have been playing Monarch, so it probably isn't that critical, but it would be nice to hear what...

Check out this Maya starting location. Plenty of food, plenty of shields (once I mine those mountains). My question is, where should I start the city to get the most food out of it? In other words, can I turn this into a Settler factory? One other question do I need to research to...

When you're playing Civ what do you curse? I usually curse the leader, for example Ghandi and Bismarck. I've also seems a lot of discussion talking about nationality, for example India and Germany.

Are trebuchet worth waiting for? The Germans started the war. Just about the time I was going to wipe out the Romans. I have my offensive power at the other end of the continent. Fortunately, Kyoto is the nearest city they can attack and it's heavily defended. We went to war for a...

What does everyone think about the idea of a unit that automatically fortifies itself at the end of its movement, even if it's movenent is used up? I'm think the rules would work like the fortifying to "heal". If you set a unit to move across the continent it would move each turn an after...

Has anyone else noticed better continents on the randoms maps. I play primarily Continents and is seems like the maps are made up of more "blob" continents instead of the long string continents from Civ3 & PTW. Just last weekend I ended up with a N & S Amercia looking continient structure...

Does someone have the upgrade costs worked out for Conquests? If so how is it calculated? I'm assuming its a shields difference cost. It seems a lot higher in Conquests that PTW.

Has anyone else noticed that the AI is much better at picking off defenseless or very beat up units? Playing the Mayas, I end up having a stack of enslaved workers following my UU stack around. If I send them back to my territory, or worse yet have them building roads without guardians, a...
