Knowing which leaders are (or aren't) in the game can certainly affect your strategy, so I just thought I'd share a few tricks I've noticed for figuring out who my opponents are before actually meeting them. Also hoped that the rest of y'all might share some others that you've picked up on; at...

I've been playing these settings every so often for a year or so now, and it just occurred to me that perhaps other people would enjoy it & hadn't thought of it yet: You take a duel-sized Continents map, increase the total number of civs to 10 (you and 9 AIs), decrease the city states to two...

First things first...Civ IV is such a huge step up from Civ III that I don't even know where to begin. Tons of stuff that I absolutely love, and I don't miss anything that was left out from the earlier games. Anyway, here's what I've noted from my first full game: -I'm having the same...
