It's strange that so few, if any, knew that this patch was coming, and noone has a patch changelog. Shows really horsehockey connection / interaction between gamers and devs :(

double post, sry.

Finished my second try just now, ending up at 1748. Played on Great Plains again, with Qin against four Washingtons. I figured their financial would help me get more of their techs, maybe it did, but in the end I had modern armor before they had cavalry. I didn't wage a single war, and neither...

Played a team battleground game through, ended up with a launch in 1828, which is none to great. I had, awesome tech rate, or I would like to believe. with most of my cities running 10+ towns with 100% tech rate most of the game. I am fairly certain I could have chopped at least 50 turns simply...

No, in all honesty, those games where my capital had 20 cows within its fat cross, do show up on my high scores. What I meant, is that I saw nothing special that marked them as world-edited. I really hope there is a way to tell though.

I went with barbs off and friendly AI's as well. Barbs wouldn't be needed as I was going to be peaceful, at least see how that worked first. Went with Elisabeth because she really is one for the tech race. Map was Great Plains, where there are a lot of cows and rivers and flood plains, but...

I am wondering, how can you tell wether worldbuilder has been activated or not? When I have messed around creating supercities with all resources squares etc, I never saw anything in the high score.

Theres allways something to do! Keep your most dangerous opponents at war (with you, or anyone else :o ) constantly! When you go on the offensive head for their big production cities and raze them, or small-in-the-middle-of-the-desert/permafrost cities (likely to be less defended, and...

what he said ^^ Once mass swordsmen cant get you any more cities, heal up and wait for catas and have a go again, then wait for knights and go again, and eventually riflemen/cavalry for the final kills. :o

Those references weren't useful anyways. I much prefer them gone.

Our game files varies from the hosts. or something like that, is the message I get when connecting to multiplayer games via gamespy. I can connect to the games fine enough though, have yet to start one but will try soon enough. Anyone know what this is about? Oh yes, I have the latest...

I got this with the patch, as I am sure everyone else did as well. Now the big question, what the hell is it? I figured it was something akin to gamespy, since the gamespy/vanilla civ iv combination was inherently awful. I can view counterstrike servers in it and all, but not civ IV. It's like a...

Immortal is pretty easy, you can steamroll like 7 AI's on a standard map, all within the age of praetorians. Of course, that unit is hilariously imbalanced, a vanilla praetorian equalling one 'would be counter' axeman with combat I.

Play on duel or tiny map with max 3 opponents and you can win the game on deity level. Might be tricky, but absolutely doable. Grab hold of a civ with a good ancient age UU (roman, greek, egyptian, inca, mali) and attack. If playing against more than one deity AI, 'attack' one with your 2 first...

It doubles after 1000 years, like in civ 3?

Do any of you have the exact formula for score, plain mathematical and not as some piece of a code? Then I'd stand a chance of understanding the mess and could find an algorithm of sorts, telling me when I have milked enough. And also, if you turn domination victory off, would the theoretic...

Have a look at this: 133k score on settler difficulty? The settings of that one was Small map, Great Plains, 17 opponents. I was just 1 city short of getting conquest victory, it would most likely had fallen in one more turn. Wonder how a conquest would have affected the score. If I try...

I lost a combat V musketman to a archer in a town. Both units were at full strength, odds were at 13.5 : 6.5.

800BC Deity, Duel map, conquest. ~700 game score, ~28k win score.
