The title really says it all. I tried Civ4 and didn't really like it, but that probably had to do with the fact that my computer back then was just too old and slow to handle it. But now I have a fast Mac laptop, and I'm wondering if I should get Civ5 for it. Do any former (or current) Civ3...

Background: I started this game a long time ago, probably multiple large civ breaks ago. I was really trying to beat Sid at the time, and having a first Sid win on standard pangaea seemed like a cool idea to me. It seemed like the strategy used by the magnificent 7+1 could be reproduced: you...

I'm no longer the Sid virgin I was a few years ago while playing this game: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=125530 :lol: Looking back, I can't believe the stupid things I did in that game. Well, now I just want to see if I can beat Sid NOT playing as Theodora on islands or as...

The SG forum seems to have gotten a lot quieter since I was last here. I've had a yearning to play an SG again for a while now, and I was wondering how many people are still out here. This includes all you guest lurkers who haven't registered yet. Register and sign up! When and if, a huge if...

I haven't been on this forum in a while. A few years ago, if you wanted to use the [img] tag, you had to upload images with an "Upload File" button at the bottom of the page. That button seems to have disappeared. On the FAQ, apparently there is a way to establish an "album" and add pictures to...

C3C v1.22 Map Parameters: Standard, 60% H2O, pangaea, wet, warm, 5 billion Civilization: Maya Opponents: Random (Rome, Arabia, England, The Byzantines, The Celts, Scandinavia, Babylon) Difficulty Level: Deity Variant: Always War--trade upon first contact for hard goods only, no embassies...

Hello everyone, Rat instructed me to start this thread, so that's what I'm doing. The first start I rolled happened to be decent. I have played 20 and will post the log and save at the end of the post. Difficulty- Emperor Variant- Always war (I assume no initial trading) Civ- China AIs- 7...

First two attempts failed, and we're trying again. We may want a strategy revision. That last start was both excellent and bad in various ways. We could have had four local luxuries if we had held on to that indian city. A cow at the start, and four other fertile city spots, with both iron...

Another story, that I promise to finish (the no poofing game was a silly idea, especially with only a week to play it). This game will signifigantly harder than the deity game. It won't be a piece of cake at all, so I'm risking humiliation in a public forum. This difficulty may be way beyond...

I pondered for a long time whether or not I should post this game on civfanatics. This game will be quite an epic, and after finishing my previous solo epic, I'm ready for another. But, I should warn everyone, in a little more than a week this story will take a month and a half break, while I'm...

A varientless deity game. Will be tough, but with this start I'm a solid favorite to win. Strategy going in is to expand like mad at first while keeping up in tech. If I'm not satisfied with my territory (something that happens 9 out of 10 times) I wage some quick, to - the - point wars to grab...

Anyway, it's the same settings as before, and same strategy, I think? Maybe we could even go for an early archer rush, just build 10 archers and throw them at a nearby civs capital. I've actually eliminated a Sid AI once by doing this (with tremendous battle and leader luck though). It should be...

My SG's have a knack for either failing or dying; only two out of seven have finished, but I am determined to not let that happen to this one. Civ: Random Start: First one I get with a river and w/o jungle, marsh, or tundra. Standard Continents 60% water Deity (or DG if this seems too hard) AI...

Just post any you have here, preferably with explanations. 1. Oakland Raiders: Troy Smith, QB, OSU: Yeah, he's only 5'11. Drew Brees is too, and he's allright. This guy has a strong arm, is accurate, smart, a leader, good decision maker, and very mobile. Quinn may be more of an NFL QB, but...

Is there such a thing? I'm trying to play a scenario I'm making on PTW, but I only have civ3 editor and conquests editor. I got conquests, so PTW came with it on the same disc, so if there is an editor, I never got one as it is "obseleted" I guess already by the conquests one so it didn't come...

Just a thread for any thoughts about this offseason, who's gonna be good, bad, free agency, draft, whatever. My list of "teams on the rise." 1. Bears- Defense is superb, I assume they'll address the offense in the offseason, and Rex will become good, as he has a good Offensive line, RB, and...

Here's the thread I was saying about in the Own7 thread. It's AWD Small Continents, should be a little harder than AWDG standard continents. Anyone on the team can roll a start, play 30 (because it takes a lot of turns to see if an AW start is worthwhile). Roster- Own Smart- confirmed I...

Some things I recall being done in '05: -7+1 finished -Civ4 came out -Theodora's AWS! -AWD Standard pangaea :eek: Anything else that happened this year?

The title is basically the question. Is the AI smarter, gets bonuses, or is it just human players get penalized with better barbs and stuff like the manual says?
