    How to leverage Charismatic?

    I have just recently fallen in love with CHA. I have a game going right now with Washington, and it's 1850 and I am clobbering everyone. I have three main production cities in my mainland, one has IW, one has HE and two GGs, and another has WP, Red Cross, and two GGs. I have the pentagon, so...

    "Must Have" Wonders?

    Oracle, Taj Mahal, SoL, and Versailles are top priorities for me. I'm a wonder whore, so it was tough narrowing it down.

    Strong unit first or weak units first?

    I tend to attack with weak units first, unless they are veterans.

    [Scenario] Age of Discovery 1492-1792

    First off: Great mod! I've been playing a lot of AoEIII lately, so I've been jonesing for this scenario for Civ. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, because I've only read pages 1-7, 13, 14, but after a while, the natives start using malinese names. Djenne was in N Vermont, and Gao...

    Do you prefer the Holy Roman Empire to Poland?

    Being late to the argument, I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but I can't resist. They forgot Poland.

    Idea for new resources and corporations

    Cotton, tobacco, and barley all sound like good resources, but I'm a bit iffy on silica and cocoa, and especially prime wood. As for the corporations, the textile and chemical companies sound good. Where is the Motor corporation? For Aluminum and Oil you get X production, X happiness, and X...

    The nations civs that you want for the next expansion of civ4

    I'm inclined to say "add a new trait, then give us more leaders and unique content for each civ." Seriously, I would much rather have Charles V/Carlos I or Harun Al-Rashid in the game than have Turkmenistan or Moldova as playable civs.

    your favorite UU

    Well, considering you've mentioned Praets in every post you've made in this thread, yes, it is quite obvious. My fav is the Redcoat, simply because I am running Vanilla, and I like to kick things in gear in around that era. My second favorite (from what I've seen) would have to be the East...

    Mercenaries

    The "merc-only unit" kind of defeats the point of renting out soldiers when you aren't using them. This way you make extra money during peacetime at the risk of losing your investment 1 turn into the deal.

    more units

    Yes! I have always wanted a bombard! Perhaps with the Basilica as the new Ottoman UU?

    Mercenaries

    I was playing a game on the standard earth map for Vanilla as Alexander, when China declared war on my semi-hemi-demi-good buddy, India. I was busy at the time, but ten turns or so later, Qin Shi Huang was whooping Asoka, and encroaching on my #2 spot on the leaderboard. I didn't want an all...

    Civilization Revolution (for consoles)

    Oh God. Civ for the DS! Now I can leave the house without my laptop! I'm actually excited for this, because my compy isn't too great, so graphics are skimpy with Civ IV. Would it be fanboyish to get two copies? (DS + 360) Yes. It would.

    Civs that should be in an expansion

    Babylon, Maya, Korea, Turks, Zulu or Abyssinia, Carthage, and more leaders for the existing civs! I agree completely!

    RB1 - Cuban Isolationists

    Doing great! Kick those British into the dust! One question though, what does West Point do? XP boost to new units?
