I noticed that some UU's don't seem to upgrade logically. They seem to be due to the expansion packs (either new UU's or new units messing up upgrade tree). I know the civilopedia is no longer 100% accurate after the expansion packs, so I assume the expansions were a little "phoned in". Zulu...

First off, I've only really played Civ 3 and 4. I have 1 for snes somewhere, but I never really understood it so I just cheated and goofed around. Civ 4 has gotten pretty boring for me. I played about 15-20 games over the course of spring quarter and it was a blast... until I noticed every...

I've NEVER used one. They are costly (I don't generate many GPs) and have been severely nerfed since Civ 3 (half duration). The only time I would ever create a Golden Age is if I got a Great Priest and Great Artist in quick succession towards end game and I wasn't going for Cultural Victory. And...

What is this and how do you enable it? I notice it in a lot of screenshots.

Be warned I write a lot... I've gotten kind of bored recently with the game and have had trouble completing games so I decided to liven it up a bit. I'm a builder by nature (although I'm not hesitant to war... it's just I have to change everything when I feel the need to do so) so this should...

Can someone explain this to me? I'm sitll pretty green at the game. I play mostly on Noble and have absolutely fallen in love so much with the Financial trait, its practically become a crutch for me. I've become pretty economically dependant on cottages, but I'm curious about this alternative...

Only else find Siege units overpowered? Why build 7 Cats/Trebs (max needed to lower 100% defense bonus) and a stack of Swords when you can just build a fat stack of Cats/Trebs with a few Spears and Axes for stack defense? Siege units can get City Raider just like melee units but also cause...

Anyone else notice that the Guerilla 2 and 3 promotions ARE available to melee units? Sounds useless since they can't get Guerilla 1 to unlock those... Right? Except Celts can build all units with Guerilla 1! Haha! Combined with the Charismatic Brennus, its easy to get Guerilla 3 troops (+50%...

So I by selecting random climate I rolled just about the worst thing possible for me, Arid. I have never seen such a landscape devoid of food. Can you give me some tips on how to settle? I'm Korea so I'm Fin/Pro. I still don't know whats to my east, but given the columns of desert I wouldn't be...

I recieved the following messages when I attempted to host a LAN game. 1 - The network socket could not be created. 2 - The network socket encountered an error and was closed. Disconnected. 3 - Unable to start the messaging engine. How do I go about fixing these?

Okay, I'm in the Napoleon conquest as Austria and have just "liberated" the people of Naples. It seems that both in strength and location, the Ottomans are the next people on the list searching for liberation. However, earlier when mass MA's and MPP's were being signed I got the Ottomans in on...

The last conquest, WW2 in the Pacific, had me wondering something and since the Mac version did not ship with an editor again I must ask here. In that scenario 4 of the civs are allied together on the score sheet and appear as 1. Is it possible to do that in the editor? If so can you do it on a...

I've recently fallen in love with this conquest. Does anyone have any tips? I haven't really completed a game yet, I've only messed around a little with a couple civs (France, Dutch, Mayans).

Can anyone point me towards pop heads for the Conquests? Or even better, can anyone tell me how to manually replace them with ones that I am using for Epic play? Thanks.

Okay, the Aztecs out of the blue have declared on me. I want to buy the Zulus into a MA against them and I figuredif I use GPT instead of lump, I'll pay less for when the AI decides to break the deal on me. My question is that if the Zulu decide to break the MA will I get a rep hit for the GPT...

topic. abc PS: What does REX mean? From context it seems to be early game development, but I'd appreciate if someone could clarify this for me. :)

Since Mac C3C doesn't have an editor (lazy firaxis), I have to make a request here instead of doing this myself. :rolleyes: Can someone please make me a map with no corruption? That's it. :goodjob: Just a blank map where you can pick the settings at the beginning, but with no corruption. I know...

I'm moving up to Regent and after reading many posts here praising the abilities of artillery I have to ask why? My previous attempts at using them have been drastically disappointing. Is there something I am missing? Also while I am making this topic and slightly related to it anyway, how big...

I only just got back into Civ and after dominating the world as the Celts on Warlord, I moved up to Regent. I'm playing as the Dutch on a Large 70% Archipelago. Thanks to the power of Curraghs (wow, I already love C3C way more than vanilla) I have already seen the outline of the world and met...

After screwing the Mac players like usual, I guess they decided it had been long enough. I finally got my hands on the expansion packs! Well, I know there's a lot of updates to things, particularly artillery actually being useful. Basically I'm just looking for some pointers that I can take...
