As the title says - I'm looking for starts that are a bit tougher than average. Not necessarily sadistically poor, but below average. I normally play Fractal and got some pretty interesting maps out of it, but you never really know early on. As I usually play Immortal, I'd like to ask for...

As others pointed out in the bug and features threads, the AI is much more aggressive in this modmod than usual. From what I've seen in my games, there are some things that aren't working very well under these circumstances. For reference, I'm playing on Emperor. Almost every AI is looking...

Hi everyone, I've been playing some island maps lately, aiming at not completely isolated starts but the kind where you meet only part of the AI early on and that require a strong focus on naval technology throughout the game. The game threw me this: A barren rock near the polar...

I'm currently playing a game at Emperor level, which used to be challenging but winnable for me in normal BtS. It's now around turn 200-250, I've been having a massive tech lead for a long time and the game is pretty much over. The games I played before often turned out to be similar, but at...

In my current game as Tebryn/Sheaim, I realized how powerful death mana can be. Skeletons are great at the start of the game, then once you get up to mages (or in this case, moebius witches, too), spectres make a great supplement. Another tech level later, there are wraiths and, sort of as a...

Hi, I have just started playing FF again, after reading the walkthrough and some general advice. I normally play Civ at Emperor or Immortal, so I figured, let's jump right in at Emperor. I'm now in the process of my second game, and I think I understand the concepts quite well - yet I'm...

I have just installed Civ4 and BtS on a different computer that didn't have a previous BtS installation. There was a Civ4 installation long ago, but was uninstalled and all related files deleted. So I installed Civ4, then BtS (patching Civ4 in the process) and the 3.13 patch. Civ4 runs fine...

Hi guys, I've been learning Chinese for a while, and I'd like to try reading some Chinese CIV forums for practice, or even playing the game in Chinese language, if possible. Does anyone know any community websites that might be interesting for me? I checked the CFC links, but no luck there...

I have just played most of the Afterworld scenario, and enjoyed it very much. However, I can't seem to find out how to end it. I sent Sever to activate all the terminals, and he disappeared after the last one, supposedly opening up the way out (or not?). I moved the other 4 outside, where that...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for someone who could replace me in "GiantGuineaPig's 2nd PB game" for (just under) two weeks. The turn timer is 24 hours, plus the couple of hours extra time the server normally has per turn. I'm playing as Japan, tech-wise it's late classical, and I'm in an...

I'm wondering, is there anyone at all who's still trying for G-Major 1? Any chance that you could release a Major 2 with easier accessible settings before the first one runs out on 9th of July? For fairness maybe you can keep the first one running as well, but I doubt it'll generate much more...

To achieve a cultural victory on a standard size map, many people consider it the optimal case to get 9 cities up, to be able to spread any religion they may get to all of them, and thus be able to build cathedrals in each of the culture cities. I'm wondering, why is everyone so sure that 9...

is there a list somewhere of what kind of person can research/boost what? Particularly I'd like to know, what does a great artist give when you have Literature, Drama and Music (plus the ancient era stuff)?
