    Gauntlet Three

    I got a 1132 one with Huanya Capac, too bad my games are excluded because I had to use auto save for a couple of times - my game isnt 100% stable (and i was stupid enough to say so). While I can certainly understand the staff doing everthing to permit cheating I think they overdid here. I...

    Starting Age

    @Chris : I play for fun in the first place and wont play a game with settings that look silly to me just to proof something that I know anyway. However its good that BlueRenner takes the time to do it.

    How long is your typical Civ session

    I like to play a game during on day, it just feals a little odd to get into a game again after a longer brake. I think if you play a game in one session (with some short breaks) you have a better feeling for things happening.

    Starting Age

    I disagree that you have to try everthing out to have a solid opinion about it. Whats the point to do a Space race Victory starting advanced ? It just doesnt make sense to me at all to take away almost everthing of the game and reduce it to an optimize X turns with a Build Order game. How can...

    Reloads.

    @Craterus22 : I think many people have some problems with stability, however I think the patterns for saving abuse and autosave usage after Back to Desktop Freeze or graphic sluggishness are different. I guess it will be relatively easy to distinguish between cheaters and players having...

    Milking your score

    I find it very odd that you have to play worse than you can in GOTMs to get a higher score and a better rating. To talk of skill in this context looks weird from my point of view, where is the skill if you have to delay your victory ? I think everybody can do this - huh. It comes down to who can...

    Optimum Early Growth Strategy

    Long-term considerations are not very important ! I see this fault in thinking so often here on the boards, what you gain in short terms will multiply over the years and overgrow the longterm penalties by far.

    spiritual is lame!

    Spiritual and Organized seem to be the most underrated traits in the game. Spiritual allows for many special tactics, i give you some examples. Say you have several religions and no Stonehenge. In this case you often want to switch frequently between religions so that all your cities (with...

    Starting Age

    Not to start in Ancient age looks simply silly to me. I havent tried yet, however from my imagination it will take away fun and skill.

    Gauntlet Three

    Have you tried Mao already ? From my imaginition i would say going without cottages and Financial trait will bring you nowhere close to the best finish dates.

    Civ 4 vs. Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire

    I think AC is really not a game for beginners. With Civ4 on the other hand you can have lots of fun as a causual player also. That said start with AC if you are an expert for those kind of games otherwise play CIV4.

    Number of opponents?

    AIs settle very fast on higher levels so with standard amount of AI players it doesnt take too long until all good places are taken.

    Religion theft - A cultural victory tool

    Maybe i did misunderstand someone when he said its extremly difficult to get more than five (thinking it wasnt possible at all). Im gonna cry if i loose gauntlet three because i misunderstand that lol.

    Gauntlet Three

    I always thought you can only have five religions in one city but now i read somewhere you can have seven, is this true ?

    Religion theft - A cultural victory tool

    You can only build a Cathedral in a city who 'believes' in that religion. Since only five religions are allowed per city you can only build five Cathedrals also.

    Religion theft - A cultural victory tool

    You can build only five cathedrals in one city anyway, doesnt make sense to build all those units for nothing.

    Gauntlet Three

    Say never never ;) , if you have a location short on food and several bonus commerce fields it would be the way to go - well for gauntlet you would of course start over. This startlocation looks fantastic, which civ are you playing in this one BlueRenner ?

    What do you think the rate of GotM cheating is at? Does it matter?

    Those guys who cheat in other games behave often ******ed in forums or in chats. I dont see this kind of talking here at all. And this is exactly the difference to games like AoC, im with you that many people do cheat in those kind of games. Furthermore those people tend to be not the most...
