What else needs building in your military production city? Early on, you need a barracks, granary, and (maybe) monument. Later a forge and Heroic Epic. Then pretty much nothing until the industrial era. Build more units! :crazyeye:

Can't we math this out? Someone stop me if I do it wrong, I don't write these things out often. On epic speed, a worker costs 90 :hammers:, a WB costs 45 :hammers:, and growing costs 33 :food: (I think that number is right?). The capital produces 2/1/9 normally. Lets assume you have a...

Harbourboy, If you look at one of the EMCs (I believe 3), the first attempt was a doomed start, and abandoned to a restart. Other than that, it seems to me that aelf and Sisiutil just do rock that much. :)

One of the few actual LOL moments I've ever had on the net. You rock :lol:

Post a save-game after you've developed a game a bit and people can take a look at it =). Remember, for research, cottages cottages cottages. Money is very important in Civ4. If you're having real trouble grasping the easier difficulty levels you may benefit from spending an hour or so...

Hmmm, not quite. City raider I is 20%, City Raider II is another 25%, and III is another 35%. To get cover you have to go Combat I -> Cover for a 35% general boost against archers (and 10 to everything). If you think you're mostly going to be raiding cities rather than fighting in the open...

My understanding is that the AI reacts to your power rating and to your overall score. I'm not sure how the power rating is calculated but nuclear weapons are surely included, so having a lot probably will make the AI less likely to attack you. However, ICBMs are rather expensive hammerwise, so...

Honestly, I think you're in fine position to just win by spacerace if you don't want to try destroying the other civs. You would have to switch over all your production to military units for a while to crack the Greek cities, which is fine if you're intending to win that way, but if you're just...

When I put my start file up for a check it told me I had an "unrecognized install" for 1.52. I haven't done any modding or file modification on the game at all beyond installing 1.52. What are some possible reasons I'm getting this?

Thanks for taking a look, more stuff to experiment with in my next game. =)

If you look at the Hall of Fame, that's what I understand Billator does to win on Immortal and Deity...

War is always a good way to raise your score if you're so inclined. However, if you want to keep your boys at home, try bribing a friend or two into attacking whoever is building the UN or a bunch of spaceship bits. The AI will deprioritize the ship and build more military units, and you'll...

That's a really good thought on managing the barbs, I'll try that in my next game. I don't really feel like moving up to Emperor yet, heh, seeing as I only know how to win SS on any difficulty level. Next up is the cultural. Attached are two later saves if you want to look at them.

Hey everyone, I've recently moved up from Prince to Monarch difficulty and it has certainly been an adjustment. Whereas I used to dominate the AI in tech, wonder building, religion founding and pretty much whatever I wanted, I've found Monarch a struggle. Both of the wins I have picked up have...
