Hiya, recently returned to number 4. Wow, so much better than 5 and 6. What have I been doing all of this time. Fresh install, downloaded bug but does anybody know what the name of the mod is that enables the tool bar at the bottom of the screen? It includes an upgrade icon, a couple of...

Hi all, returning to number 4 after what...7 years? Can anybody give me any quick reminders to refamiliarise with it in advance. I was only ever an average player but always remember going for Stonehenge, Oracle, and GL while also ensuring to find a number of religions if possible. Always...

Morning all, Can anybody tell me if we have a comprehensive thread detailing all the little nifty tips, exploits in one post? I know it would be huge but even today I still find myself finding things out that I never knew about. Some examples of what could be included I guess to...

Hi, Sorry to have to ask but I can't locate the thread. Would somnebody be kind enough to direct me to the download for BUG mod please. Had a new PC for 5 but just installed 4 again and can't find this now for some reason? Sure it must just be my eyes though! :scan:

£12.99 on Amazon for pre-order? This seems cheap? I was expecting at least £19.99 and would have been happy at that with a more realistic expectation of it actually being £24.99. What's going on? Is this right? I'm assuming it will be on Steam in a couple of weeks anyway. Will it...

Hello all, I wonder if anybody would be kind enough to offer me some advice on making the step up from King to Emperor. In particular I wondered if there are perhaps some lets play videos that might be suitable? I can beat King with no troubles at all. However on my first emperor game...

Hi Everybody, Long time casual player here. I've had advice from the forums in the past which has helped tremendously. Please find attached save of my current NOBLE game. I probably win half my noble games and lose the others. I am wanting some advice to try and make the step up...

Hello all. I have just purchased this game. Tried to play it for the first time last night and it blew my mind. Only managed 15 minutes before I realised I hadn't a clue what I was doing. Is there a link to some good strategy articles anywhere? Had a quick look to see if it had a Civ4...

Hello everybody, I was hoping somebody could offer me some mid-game advice please. I have been playing the game casually over the years and have always consulted with the forums for improvement which has helped me a lot. I feel like I do okay at the start of the game but from the mid...

Evening all, Have not been able to get into Civ 5. I am finding it so boring, don't know about you? Anyway, I have gone back to BtS. Please find attached game. Bismark, Terra, medium difficulity (noble I think). Wanting a different game I decided not to use my usual early rush...

Alright guys, In UK here. Got the hard copy ordered for delivery on Friday, hopefully tomorrow though. With all the posts about poor performance etc it got me a little worried. How will it run on the below system? Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 1660 @ 2.40ghz. RAM: 3071mb. 32 Bit O/S...

My apologies if this has been asked a million times already but I haven't been able to find it while searching the forums so I shall ask anyway! Why is it on the UK preview of Civ V from amazon (link below) or at the top of the forum (pre order civ 5 - amazon uk) if you scroll half way down...

Hello all, Any tips for making an ally? It's the one thing I seem to be struggling with the most. I always tend to find one or two other civs that become pleased with me. We share same religions and it's all green plus signs - open borders, years of trade, mutual military struggles...

Hello guys, I am hoping that some people here maybe able to give me some advice as to where I am going wrong in the modern eras. To briefly give you a run down, what usually happens in my games is that I can hold my own right up until the modern eras and then it all goes wrong and I just...

Hello all, This might sound like a strange question when I tell you that I've had this game and all the expansions packs since day one but just last night I completed my first game of Civ 4. I usually get bored in modern era you see. The thrills in the early exploration/resource grabbing...

Hello, Sorry for the dumb question, I am sure this is simple for the most of you but not to me. Just got a new PC and am going to instal CIV4 again. Regarding patches, do I just need to download the latest patch or do I need to get all the old ones too? Also, do I just install BTS or...

Can't understand why this happens but I've come across it a few times and it is most annoying. When in battle and lets say you take a bit of a beating and your troops retreat and you ask them to move away from the attackers position so you can heal them...I sometimes find that on the next turn...

Alright, I usually disable this option at the menu as I haven't seen any positive affects from it. Usually just 'you declared war on my vassle' and isn't it easier just to conquer them rather than vassle them? What's everyone else do?

Is there a good real life earth map out there that BTS supports and it does not crash or have any problems on? Specifically one where starting civs start in their correct location. If so what are your experiences of this, any good?

Okay, first let me start by thanking the people who answered some questions I had in an earlier post...thanks! What I really want to know is what are the best units for doing what in three stages. Eg: Attacking an enemy city might be 1 - early) Axe men 2 - a little later) Swordman 3 -...
