ok so I downloaded and started playing the version 30 last night and wow... am I seeing things or is the terrain design new? To my eye this new version just looks fantastic... 10 times better than Blue Marble and the regular game. In fact I would love to apply this terrain type to the basic...

where can I read about the specific changes in version 0.30? I see it was released last month and has a new title, Hidden Enemies? Are there any quests?

has anyone else seen this site and I'm curious how well it will work for Civ IV... www.wegame.com

How often does this happen, the AI just out of the blue offers one of their cities to you for nothing? I was really surprised by this, although Sitting Bull had plopped a city very close to my borders and was getting major cultural pressure. I can't remember if I read about this happening to...

has anyone reported this bug where the AP and UN votes are coming up at the same time? I actually won a UN victory on the same turn that an AP vote came in (which I did not win - no one had enough votes for the religious victory... wonder what would happen if they did?) but I won a UN vote. I...

I recently realized to my surprise that the 3 early religions do not give you a free missionary like the others. Somehow there's always something about the game that tends to pass me by for a while, I guess! Now I suppose this was to give some kind of balance with the later religions, since...

I played a bit of a game with Boudica (I had never tried Brennus in Warlords expansion before) and I find the unique unit and unique building combination very curious: Gallic warrior - a swordsman with the Guerilla I promotion (20% hills defense) Dun - walls that give units the same Guerilla...

sometimes I would really prefer a unit limit in the game (or you can set your own limit under custom game)... and I hate the fact that each time your unit does battle it either has to win OR lose and therefore go bye-bye forever (except with the withdrawal promotions or abilities, which...

has anyone else had a problem with the blitz promotion not working? I can't make my tanks attack twice in one turn.

anyone have some ideas on adjusting play style for marathon speed? one thing I notice is that whipping is now 30 turns of unhappiness. so you get more hammers for whipping a population, I get that part. But everything costs a lot more hammers, so there is balance in that. However, it seems...

Check out who gets to vote in the United Nations...

I tend to build too many wonders sometimes, but their benefits are fun. I recently tried a game variant whereby I tasked myself to build every single wonder in the game and then win. If I could not build any wonders in time, I would have to capture and control the cities with those I missed...

I've found the more I play that I am using Hereditary Rule hardly ever anymore. I guess the reasons must be that I get the Pyramids about 50% of my games then switch right into Representation, which I consider a more useful civic under most circumstances, early or late game. I also was...

Wow, privateers actually count toward emergence of your great generals, and I've found that to be pretty powerful, especially playing an imperialistic leader. It's not only nice to be pillaging fishing boats while at peace, but you can have a GG pop up in one of your cities without ever going to...

What happened to the button for pinging other players and marking lines or signs on the map? or did they decide to ditch that for some reason...

Gamespot.com now has a review of BTS. it's actually slightly worse rating than Warlords!

seems in this mod the tile grid display appears for a little while then goes away, then might reappear a little while, but mostly it won't display. try it and see - the demo had this problem too. I think this is important because if you've played this mod you know it's much harded to see what...

Wondering if anyone has tried this scenario/mod and their thoughts? I have seen suspiciously little discussion on it so far. I tried it once and so far I was really disappointed. Where are all the unique civs and traits, and the spells and abilities? This just seems to be a really nerfed...

when I had a spy conduct a mission in a foreign city, it said it was successful, but it also said my spy was caught (China - Qin). but I noticed there was no diplomatic penalty, so what was the consequence of getting caught if the mission worked -- just that the spy was killed? this might not...

Anyone else having this problem, that BTS actually runs slower than Warlords/Vanilla? I am really surprised to see this..I have been reading how it's supposed to be FASTER?? Also the opening movie runs very slow/stuttering for me. It's like I'm back to the good old Vanilla pre-patch days...
