    Which historical event that you wish you could play as mod?

    I voted for Age of Discovery... anybody ever play colonization... i loved that game. If there were a mod out there, well that is all that i would do for a very long time :lol:

    should the us be in the game

    Well said Ruff_hi . Just from a marketing standpoint only it was critical, that and the fact that there would only be 3 civs that are playable.

    Demanding Tribute

    It really depends on what you are actually demanding. In other forums it has been discussed that it is almost impossible to get a city in the demands screen, however, i have been able to get pretty much anything that i have asked for. If your request will not cripple the Civ they will comply...

    From Friendly to WAR - just one step. Did anybody experience this?

    Keep your enemies close... but your friends closer... It could be that they declared war because someone paid then a lot of money / Techs to do it... i know that i do all the time.

    Are captured cities worthy?

    If i am going to attack a Civ, my goal is never to just capture a few cities. Build a large army (takes time) and go and crush them all. Capture the major cities that you want and burn the rest, decreasing their cultural power, and thereby eliminating the revolts. Another thing that works...

    I've found the key to winning

    I totally agree with this. I might even say that i prefer to lose a close game, than play a single-minded game from the beginning.

    Favorite Starting tech

    Mining - Allows for quick boost in production to pump out more units, if build you build a worker fast.

    barbarians nightmare: new patch problem or marathon problem?

    The new Barbarian Epidemic is more realistic in my opinion. Sure it is hard and more challenging, but it adds some realism to the game. Barbarians were a nightmare to Civs trying to expand, as in the case of the Romans. The world was never really empty space just waiting for a civ to expand in...

    Great Wall?

    Kind of in depth there... I think you lost most of us with the explanation... And yes you did disapoint me, however, the others made me feel better. :goodjob:

    Canadians unite!

    The mountie is a good idea but what about a "courreur des bois" as the UU. For those who do not speak french, this is a type of scout which lived in the woods and essentially discovered most of "Wild Canada", was an expert trapper and fur trader. Special traits, defense bonus in mountains or...

    Great Wall?

    I really like the idea. I do have one request... that it be visible from Space like it is today. I find that just awesome.:D

    Way to tell if the Other Leader(AI) is going to attack you?

    I might have an idea about this. Roads enable Trade as well as spreading of religion (i think it makes it easier). Maybe his goal is to hurt your trade potential with your neighbors. Imagine a situation where you want to go to war against Saladin. He is somewhat weak but is getting Iron from...

    Civ4 sucks. And it's a pitty (pt3 - the end)

    All this is really quite interesting... This tread is just another example of intolerance to others opinions that exist today. It is unfortunate that i had to read all the above to get a couple of "insights" into what Mean Machine (MM) is thinking. Instead of a blanket post such as "Civ...

    Most Significant Unit NOT in the Game

    A unit i would like to see is a special opps commando. A unit that could be sent across borders, be invisible to all expect if a unit entered it's tile. At that point you would actually get an ambush "attack" with huge bonus when it is not your turn to play. But once it is visible, all bet's are...

    Way to tell if the Other Leader(AI) is going to attack you?

    My 1st rule of play, especially for a Sim Civ, is to ALWAYS be prepared for War in my boarder Cities. No Matter what. The best defense is a good offense. This will help deter your bordering nations. I usually have 1 maybe 2 units in all cities except for the boarder ones (6-7 units of different...
