    An update from Firaxis about the Colonization patch

    This may be too much for a patch but, for what it's worth, I request: - Cannon that can fire at passing ships from fortress upgrades. Addition of a "Heated Shot" promotion for cannon? - Foreign kings who have cities in the New World (after WoI with colonies) are contactable during diplomacy...

    Which leader is the best as an AI?

    So far I've only played Single Player games and I've noticed that Hatshepsut (Egypt), Kublai Khan (Mongols) and Mansa Musa (Mali) seem to spend quite a bit of time at the top of the leaderboard in the games I've played. Qin Shi Huang (China) doesn't seem to do too badly either. Bismark always...

    Cities: Specialized vs. Well rounded

    As an experienced Civ player I always used to play with generalised cities and wondered why I rarely won. This time, my fourth 'Marathon' game of Civ4 I decided to try city specialisation, as Catherine (Russia). I have to say specialisation is definitely the way to go. In this game I am at...

    Who is the best conquer leader

    After playing 3 Epic games at Noble level (despite being an experienced Civ3 player) and losing each time I decided to trawl the leader characteristics in detail to find the one that suited my playing style best: perfectionist with an economic and scientific focus and a military tailored to...

    The Cold War Deluxe; 1950-1991

    Hey El Justo, I'm still continuing to enjoy the game. Just a couple of points on the Australian / NZ order of battle for you: I achieved the Helicopter civ advance which unlocks the UH-1 and noticed Australia is unable to build this. I don't consider this a huge loss as I'm assuming we...

    June 1964 *Newsflash* As the ceasefire is signed in Helsinki, Australian government ministers are planning the post war future of liberated Pyongyang. In the closing months of conflict with the Soviet Union, Australian and allied forces surprisingly managed to retain their control of the...

    The Cold War Deluxe; 1950-1991

    February 1964 *Newsflash* After a month of gruelling urban fighting Australian troops have finally captured Soviet-occupied Pyongyang. Supported by an intensive and devastating aerial bombardment, conducted by elements of the USAF SAC and US Navy, the Australian North Asia Task Force...

    The Cold War Deluxe; 1950-1991

    El Justo, Thanks for your response. It'd be great to see those Charles F. Adams DDG's available to Australia as without them, we are limited to the Daring DDs throughout the 50's and 60's. I guess when I get the advance that unlocks the Oliver Hazard Perry FFGs we will be able to build...

    The Cold War Deluxe; 1950-1991

    El Justo, Great job! Have been playing as Aus/NZ and think it is the most historically accurate mod yet. I've got a few helpful comments which could help make it even more accurate: - Australia should be able to produce the F-86 Sabre. Australia produced its own 'Avon Sabre' from 1953...
