    Wow strange rare bug: cruiser on top of ironclad.

    I just saw the strangest bug: My french ironclad defeated some ships near my capital. Yet the next or same turn the russian cruiser still moved onto my ironclad position. The ironclad didn't die, I could move it the next turn, later on the russian cruiser reappeared from the same squad were my...

    Two funny things just happened...

    I was just playing earth map with rome... I kinda wanted to do a custom map... but I picked earth by mistake, but I got two settlers with rome so I decided to play it. I tried my new simplified tech v3 and it worked pretty well, though I would advise to get masonry and construction quicker...

    Fortification and sentry bug concerning AI in civ 1 ?

    There might be some kind of fortification bug in civilization 1, where the AI cannot attack fortified units. I noticed such a case with a musketeer on a mountain. Only after unfortifieing and refortifieing could the AI attack it. If true then this could explain why the AI sends and stacks so...

    Funny: Zulu settler (AI) takes hut and barbs spawn !

    Yesterday I saw something funny and something rare, maybe even first time ever, I always wondered what exactly happens when the AI takes a hut. I was doing well with french on earth map, I had a trimeme/ship sailing near the left side of the south america. The zulus were there with two...

    Funny Bug ?: Split empire into Aztecs and Egypt during same turn...

    I have encountered a possible funny and rare bug in civilization 1: I've been playing civilization 1 on this live stream for a while: At somewhere around 4 hours and 24 minutes I prepare and finally attack both capitals of Russia and Zulu. I take Russia/Moscow first, it splits into Egyptian...

    Civ 1: Zulus stronger than Romans ? What does geopolitics mean in jCivEd ? What decides unit strength ultimately ??

    I just played two games with Indian. One game versus Romans, one game versus Zulus. In both games I attack the enemy with calvary. The Romans were kinda easy to defeat. While the Zulu units seemed much stronger and harder to defeat. Granted combat against Romans was mostly on grass, while...

    Patch Request: Allow more total units and units per AI.

    This is probably the most important patch request, especially for playing on earth map. The AI seems severly limited in the number of units it can produce. It seems once the game reaches a total maximum units, nothing else can be produced. By increasing the total unit limit, civilization can be...

    Easter egg found: Marie Antoinette's diet secret

    Cake ! I suspect civilization 1 either has a bug or sabotage, the following instruction needs to be by-passed when the player has produced to many units. Also the player must press F1 to get back into the game after by-passing this bug. The following sequence of instructions can be used to...

    White technologies vs blue technologies

    Why are some technologies white in the F6 screen ? I've read that this was supposed to mean that these technologies were given at the start, but that don't seem to make much sense according to the following screenshot where later/advanced technologies can be seen in white as well ? Perhaps white...

    Maximum number of blue lamps for technology ? Is there a cap limit ?

    Hello, I just played many hours of civilization 1, twice with english. The second time I had a better game and the English became very rich with just a few cities. I noticed that it only took 3 turns to research new technologies even the very advanced ones ?!? So this maybe me wonder if there...

    Carriers vs Battleships, which defends better against planes ?

    In the game World of Warships, carriers have stronger anti air than most battleships. I wonder if carriers in civilization 1 defend better against fighters and bombers than a battleship. According to wikipedia both have a defense rating of 12, but maybe the game does something special for...

    After goverment collapses (democrazy) buildings keep building ???

    Hmmm... when going into revolution as far as I can remember/tell the production stops... or was this only in civ3 ? But if the goverment collapses for example in Democrazy, after it collapsed, the building of buildings still continue, perhaps units as well ? Not sure if this is normal, a bug...

    Patch request: Disable forced AI sneak attack after AD

    I read somewhere that the AI is forced to attack the human player after AD. This could be lame. The AI should not be forced to attack, but allow it to "think" more smartly... it can also be lame for the player if it's constantly sneak attacked for no reason. (This can especially be annoying with...

    All civs on Europe, me with Russians (save games)

    I think some of you might like these save games, I saved the current turn at the 4th save game, the auto saves are also from this session. I decided to play Russia with fast tech tree selection to get quickly to republic and such to see what it would be like. Russia/Moscow has some nice rivers...

    War and Peace at the same time ?

    I have noticed this before in this screen, now I capture it. The russians are supposed to be at peace with the french. But the french think otherwise and are still at war with the russians ? Is this a bug ? Or does this show the french intention ? Maybe both lol. See attached file.

    Do temples, colluseums and cathedrals stack ?

    I just noticed AI selling temples and also cities with cathedral doing fine. So this makes me wonder do temples, colluseums and cathedrals stack ? Or do they simply replace each other's properties. So for example Cathedral makes 4 unhappy people content overriden the temple ? Or is it...

    More info on the weird screen/weird colors I just noticed it again this time I think I know what might be going on: 1. I rejected the peace offer of rome while playing french. (Immediately a start of game, diplomay patch installed on version x.05) 2. I received technology, the screen look...

    Is it actually possibly to buy a city ? Or is only incite revolt possible ?

    In another thread I read something about "buying" a city without triggering war. I am confused about this, there could be something to it, I can vaguely remember acquiring a city but without war or maybe it just seemed like that ? Buying a city would be possible under some type of government...

    2D Game Style still the best.

    What I like best about Civilization 1 is it's 2D game style which is beautifull and handy for a couple of reasons: 1. First of all the VGA color graphics are used to great effect and produces a nice shiny bright display of beautifull colors, while 3D games usually need some shading leading to...
