    Things they obviously removed to have some expansion material

    As with the vanilla Civ 5, I feel the developers obviously chose to not introduce some functionality that was either present in the predecessor, or it was obviously necessary. (see the religion and spying that were missing from Civ 5 vanilla) The first thing I noticed in the little time I...

    Permanent Alliance. When do you get them?

    I was playing an OCC the other day, on monarch, large/marathon, with Ramesses. I didn't have any problems, but I didn't think I could ever win. I was in the lower half at score, and was neck to neck with mabye... 3 civs tech-wise. Except for psicho Mansa Musa who had a couple of techs ahead of...

    what leader trait combinations are missing?

    I did a quick calculation in order to see how many combinations are not found, and got this: 52 leaders (from what I have counted), and 11 traits, which means 55 possible combinations of 2 distinct ones ( (11*(11-1)/2) I know that there are some leaders with the same traits, so that leaves...

    Quests - are they worth the trouble?

    I had my share of 'quest' type random events, but because the requirements were... not in my game plan, and the rewards were not mentioned, I decided they were not worth the trouble. However, in my latest game, I managed to get two done, and it's mainly the reason why I won. The first said...

    corporations = culture

    I just payed my first BTS marathon until the end (victory I mean :) ) And I got cultural victory playing Cyrus. The thing was that if you play your cards right, and 3 or 4 corporations, you get insane amounts of culture. I mean Sushi, Civ Jewelers and Cre Constructors all give you 2-5...

    stopped invasion

    I'm not sure if it's a bug, and because it worked in my favor, I don't have the save. Marathon game, continents, I'm playing Cyrus. Montezuma declares war, and starts pouring over the border, with mainly chariots and jaguars. The border is very wide, but his main force is...

    how does the civic upkeep work?

    Does anybody know how this upkeep is calculated? I understand that it's afected by a lot of things, but i would still like to know. I mean... I know that the "high upkeep - low upkeep" in the civics section are an influence, I know that distance from the capital or forbidden city is again a...

    overconfidence - a deadly affliction :)

    I'm relatively new to civ4, but have played quite a bit of all the earlyer versions. So naturally, I started to play civ4 at noble. At first I just wanted to "explore" the possibilities you have here. however, trying to keep things interesting, I always play raging barbarians and aggressive AI...
