I don't know if this will be useful for anyone, but Codecademy is now offering free classes in Python programming. I wasn't sure of the most appropriate place to put this, but this seemed like the place. :D

I usually try to avoid overlap, but if I do, I try to have it where the overlapping tiles don't matter, like mountains, desert, ice, tundra w/no rivers, etc. Of course, later on in the game, I will try to build gap cities to fill in any spaces that aren't being used by my other cities...

The best solution is to just buy the Civ IV Complete package on Steam. I think I got the whole thing during one of their crazy 75% off sales for $15 or so.

One thing I like to do is keep a spearman with the medic upgrade in my stack, so I can heal faster. Also, yeah, raze baby, raze! :lol:

I also just noticed that the icons don't show up on the flags. Is it a path issue? I added them in the Warlords version of WorldBuilder.

I'm trying to modify the Earth18Civs map with Warlords, removing some civs and replacing them with the civs introduced in Warlords. I added the Carthaginians and Celts, and there were no problems. When I added the Viking & Zulus, their flags showed up black. I copied the info for those civs...

Would timed events for a city be a part of a map script? The reason I ask is because in World Builder, if you add a city you have the option of adding a script. I've not been able to find where this is explained anywhere.

Personally, I'm always happy when bears don't attack my scouts. The only time I seem to win is if I'm on a wooded hill, across a river, with woodsman 2. Speaking of animals attacking, how many times has this happened to you? :lol:

I've created a modified world map, and i wanted to add some scripting to it. One thing I want to do is crank down the religion spread rate. Ideally, I'd like for religion to be spread only by missionaries. It's extremely annoying when a civ half way around the globe that you've had no contact...

Has anyone ever figured out how to use this?

Is this map posted anywhere for download?

I wish turning off battle animations was an User Interface option. I think one of the most disappointing things about the game is how abruptly it ends without even any reward for winning. A simple screen with a picture of the U.N., World Bank, or somebody planting your flag on whatever planet...

The map is almost identical geographically, but there are several exceptions with regard to locations, etc. First, the start place is different. It is about 8 squares west & 2 north of that location. DS opponents are Arabs, English, Indians & Mongols instead of Aztecs, French, Germans & Greeks...

Maybe each week we should try to play as the same Civ that's selected for the PS3 & X360?

Yeah, special units would be good, but it doesn't seem to be. I love the Roman Praetorians from Civ IV.

AFAIK, Printing Press is just place holder. It doesn't do anything except act as a prerequisite for other techs. You could probably easily skip it all together.

The areas outside of the square are available to be worked, you have to place workers on them. Also, you have to make sure that the areas are within your cultural borders (not somebody else's), and that they aren't being used by another city, and that an opponent doesn't have their troops on it.

That's definitely a game design flaw. In every version of Civ, you always got some sort of food, trade, or production from the square you settled on. I guess the best square to build your city on then must be desert since you only get 1 trade/2 with trading post?

I bought the DS just for Civ Rev, but while I was waiting, I also got Advance Wars, Age of Empires, Prof. Leyton, etc. There are a ton of great games for the DS, but even without all those there's still a pretty compelling case to buy one for just Civ Rev. :goodjob: Ahem, the DS has...

I imagine that you lose your city & the game if it's your only city. That would be interesting to figure out. You could always make 3 galleys and try to form an army from the crews, but that would be pretty useless. I didn't notice losing a pop point, I'll try to recreate the conditions...
