Man, have you ever nailed the Australian civ! The music is perfect. I thought Waltzing Matilda was nice already but the didgeridoo backing to it is a nice touch given you can't go all out with an Aboriginal civ as well (the true first Australians - but given there were over 1000 nations within...

Hi, been playin a lot of Civ since the first so maybe there's just such a thing as getting too good from practice, but with Civ BE on hardest difficulty picking worst combo I can it's still impossible for me not to rocket ahead of the AI in points while facing zero danger in war, and zero danger...

Modified the huge Europe map that came with the game to include the BTS civs. Found the default resources on the map to be very sparse so actually did quite a bit more of a revamp than I did with the Earth maps. Tried to balance out the civs some but Europe's Europe so some are gonna be...

Was getting some lag towards mid game with my other BTS Earth Map so made an alternate one with 18 civs all starting in the old world instead (Europe/Asia/Africa). Civs are: England (Churchhill) Dutch (Willem van Oranje) Portugal (Joao) Rome (Augustus) Ottoman (Suleiman) Russia...

I like Earth maps and BTS so modified one to include BTS civs. Doubtful my selections fit everyone's preferences, but enjoying it personally so uploaded anyway in case anyone's interested. I'm a hardcore multiplayer so these selections were chosen to vaguely balance the civ spread for mp play...

Looking everywhere but can't find a save page. Have no interest in playing a SGotM, but would like to play the same saves and compare against how the various groups handled it after completion (not for posting like GotM, just personal enjoyment). I can imagine you may not want saves going out...

I bought my copy 6 months ago the day of release here in Australia for a good AUS$100 (about $75US, our standard price for games here). The disc has cracked a little accross the centre dial. Apparently just enough to cause it to be unrecognised most times, or become unrecognised later in use...

I'm really just curious I guess about what people think about this. I've played all the civs and done all the SP things you justify to yourself i.e. reloading from saves when the luck is obviously ridiculous, thinking it's not that big a deal to start over when you know the map layout in 3000bc...

Played it on Emporer, Normal Speed. 1) Sucks because I didn't even do bugger all and it was over. Only 20 turns in and I'd taken 4 towns and it said Victory by Score. 2) Bugged because when Victory message came up, it also says Waiting for Other Civilisations at the same time. Stuck in...

I'm lovin' Civ4 but 50 games on the diplo side of it sucks dogs balls. The AI spams you relentlessly with ridiculous demands that they would attack you for making; they won't give an inch and they remember nothing about your history or reality; the RED system has no sense of logic to it; and...

Heya. I'm a big fan of Rifts and believe Civ4 would lend itself well to an amazing Rifts mod. It's not a mainstream game so wondering if anyone knows it and would be keen to see it happen. I have a lot of experience and some particular talents with building, specifically with design and...

Most of you prolly won't know what I'm talkin about, but a lot of people like to 'get into character' when gaming. Not just CRPG's like NWN, WoW, etc, but any game that lets you get into a persona including the Civ series. This Civ breaks that immersion a lot, more than any other. Cos of all...

:eek: Sid's snuck some porn seeds into Civ4! A random Islands game I started tonight (tilt head to right):

BUG: AI Galleys can cross from any coast tile into any coast tile. Human players cannot when there is a slim ocean between two adjacent coast tiles. This has happened to me in 2 games now. This current game is Islands but the settings are irrelevent. You can see in the screen-shot that the...

Anyone noticed that Raging Barbarians and Aggressive Personalities ramps up the difficulties more than the difficulties settings themselves? I'm playing Monarchy and have been putting off moving to Emporer yet cos once I move there I can't dumb it down and play Monarchy again, and if this is...

How do you stop it!?! From gamespy I see the list of games scrolling so fast that I can barely read any and have not any remote chance of catching it before it has scrolled off. Holding the menu's scroll button with the pointer does not even help. No sorting preferences help. This can't...
