    Can I win this game?

    I was going for a cultural victory but my neighbors constant warring has slowed me down, specifically Germany. Germany has a substantial point lead but cant ever break through my defenses. The problem is that after trying a few different strategies I cant make it past ~1905 when Germany just...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for all the replies everyone. I upgraded and healed my units and subsequently removed egypt from the bulk of the continent and Oslo is gone. An attack on England was suggested but I was considering Persia. they just finished Manhattan and I wanted to stop them before they build many...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Could someone please take a look at these games I have attached and tell me what I am doing wrong? I keep running into the same problems that bog me down in the later phases of the game. I can consistently kill my neighbors in the early game and claim my continent but I can not seem to finish...

    Should I get Civ 3?

    Civ 4 is very fun and worth buying but for some reason I dont think it has yet acheived what Civ 3 did. When I played civ3 hardcore I would day dream about scenarios and strats while in class. The game was wickedly addictive and insanely fun to play. Civ3 had a better core without all the...

    So what are you loving? Not loving?

    I love Civ games but this one is just terrible. I played it for 2 days before selling it to someone else. I could imagine how this game might appeal to players new to the Civ franchise but to veteran players I feel this is a dissapointment. AI is terrible advisors are annoying lack of...

    Is anyone else unhappy with the religion choices?

    I have always been agitated that there is never an option for religious cleansing or persecution. It is so common in human history it seems like a glaring omission on a part of Fraxis.

    Slavery....convince me

    At lower levels you can get away with being "nice" but at higher levels you have to whip to even keep pace with the AI, not to mention they are still whipping also :( Many times if I have an aggressive neighbor or I am going for domination victory I will be cracking that whip till the...

    Is Stalin a big dummy?

    Actually Stalin is my favorite character in the exspansion. I find him to be an extremley flexiable war monger. The industirous trait helps me get those forges down and whip out units like crazy. I have come to the same conclusion as Stalin did, throw enough bodies even if they are obsolete...

    GP farm ???

    I do not understand why players seem to bash the great artist on the forums? I think they are almost a nessecary for cultural victory. I also use them in war to drop culture bombs after I take a city that I don't raze. :lol:

    Stone poll.

    Stonhenge is ok, but I would wait untill your second city then use that worker to chop out the Great Wall.

    Chinese unification scenario strategies?

    I have found this scenario very fun but actually too easy. I dont think war is very profitable as I have won multiple peaceful games. I just flip my bloodline whenever I get the chance to start trade relations and I dedicate one city to only making emmissaries and another to defense, border...

    A few intermediate questions...

    I run into this problem constantly on anything past Noble. I have yet to win a domination game because of falling behind in Tech. I will be fine untill mid or late game when the AI locks me out of tech and arranges vassal and defensive alliances. Even if I have massive military build up I...

    New Civ: USSR

    I have been working on this also. I was thinking of using Lenin or Marx as the leader and have learning communism trigger a revolutionary phase. I was thinking a GA or a short duration where your GP output would be boosted or instead of the MIG maybe having workers becoming a variation of...
