    Minor exploit: GPT deals from AIs about to attack you

    I got jumped by Alexander a dozen or so turns after I stole a city-state he was about to conquer, and I was really in no shape to fight since I had been focusing on expansion and not military. Before giving up, I thought I would reload from one turn prior to see if I could trade for enough gold...

    Nit of the day...

    Um...140 years is just a little more than a century? How many years does it take before it get beyond a 'little more'? (yes, I'm playing on an underpowered machine so I have to waste my time doing something while I wait for it to load...) ;)

    Rob's UU Analysis

    Since I did the one for civ3, I figured I do one for civ4 too, especially since CR was kind enough to post the stats so Note that the only abilities that the Standard Marine doesn't already have are the 1-2 First Strikes and March promotion. The free March promotion is actually quite cool...

    Nice touch: map scrolling with scroll wheel

    I wanted to post this in the 'nice touches' thread, but couldn't find it because the search function is disabled. Anyway, I don't know how long it's been implemented, but you can use the scroll wheel to scroll the map up/down and if you hold the SHIFT key while using the scroll wheel, it...

    Post your worst random map start screenshots

    With some people complaining about all the bad starts, I thought it would be a good time for the worst start screenshot thread. Here's my first one:

    What I like best about conquests... (inside joke for Beta Testers)

    ...is that after receiving the CD I was finally able to delete this 1.2 GB-large-pain-in-the-a$$ known as Atari Safecast!!! ;)

    Can Fortress defensive bonus % be modded?

    I wanted to try out a mod where fortresses gave minimal defensive bonus (to make barricades maybe worth the effort of building) but I couldn't find anywhere I could adjust fortress bonuses in the editor. Am I missing something, or are they not moddable?

    VP locations at sea

    Dammit, why didn't I think of this early on during the C3C beta? I was just going through some mod possibilities for conquests and it occurred to me a great way to model naval trade routes that could be fought over would be to set up victory point locations at sea (I believe that the axis and...
