    This game's civilopedia is a godsend

    I must emphasize that Civ III's civilopedia is the most intuitive, easy-to-use and best put together in-game manual I have ever seen. Good job Firaxis :)

    The big question: Workers first, or not?

    Okay, I've been looking over the current compilations of strategy for this new game and something I've noticed is the inconsistancy of the community's opinion towards building workers first in their first city, or putting it off until their population grows more. As most of you know, while...

    possible utility program?

    Would anyone be willing to make a program that reads the data on a Civ4 save file or map, and converts it into the sprite-based graphics of Civ 3?

    Index of Civilization IV Stories & Tales

    Civilization Stories (along with Civilization Modding) embody the creative and artistic spirit of the Civilization Community. But what makes a story? A story is more than a game report. It looks past the surface hammers-and-coins of the Civ Game. It sees beyond the gaming mechanisms and sees...

    When to build workers & settlers?

    Something new about this game is that settlers and workers no longer cost you population, but instead stop all population growth while you're building it. All of the food you collect goes towards the unit instead of population growth. That being said, when is the best itme to build a worker...

    Does something seem wrong with the RNG/combat odds to you?

    I have 4 neatly divided stacks of units, each with 3 swordsmen, a pair of their own catapults, and an axeman and a crossbowman apiece. Each one was has two promotions. That's 28 units. They are parked outside of Washington, which is defended by 4 units (longbowmen and axemen assorted). I...

    interface is a bit unrefined

    That's all I have to gripe about. The civilepedia isn't that well put together, and neither are the "advisor" screens. They're hard to navigate and to effectively use. But other than that, great job Sid :)

    Uninstalling the game?

    Does this game come with a built-in uninstall wizard? I can't seem to find it on my computer/

    The Thread Rating System is Underused/Abused

    Seriously, nobody uses thread rating. Not even in forums where it's a remarkably useful tool (ie Story Forums). Anyone know how we can fix that?

    MSTK1 - Monarch (Training?) Game

    (NOTE: OPEN) I've been playing Civ for a while, but I lost my disk, crashed my computer, and had many other bad things happen to me. Final story, I haven't played it for half a year. I just re-bought it a week ago. I'd like to get my skill level back to how it was before. Maybe a...

    Paintbrush-stroke borders?

    Can I request a border graphic? Something that looks like a paintbrush stroke? I'd really appreciate it.

    Eh…Can we sticky this? ~~~~ Unlike Tomoyo's archives, this archive is dedicated to those solo story reports that are well-written, engaging, and praised by their readers. I will not hold strict prerequisites for qualification, but here are the basic guidelines: 1) The story must be...

    Lyrics for Baba Yetu (For those who want to sing/read along)

    Okay, well, Firaxis has released the Opening Soundtrack - Baba Yetu - to Civ4 already, and it's a pretty catchy tune (at least, to me). When I tried to find the lyrics, I got really stuck. Christopher Tin (the composer) appears to have mixed around the words of "The Lord's Prayer". "Baba...

    CivFanatics in 2001 (a look in the past)

    Religion without names?

    I was thinking about this even before the details for Civ4 came out, and I was quite disappointed. Wouldn't it be better to name your own religions? Then there wouldn't be the confusion and gripe about religions that aren't in...religions that are... Religions, as it seems, are pretty much...

    Baba Yetu Lyrics

    The opening soundtrack to the game is nice. Does anyone know where I can find lyrics? All I can find is the "Lord's Prayer" in Swahili, which coincidentally begins with "Baba Yetu"... Closed: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=123680
