    Role Play Challenge, The Next Generation: Sid Meier, The Civilized Tyrant

    Ahhh, the city of Absimiliard . . . . . Cold, hungry, desolate. Like it's governor's black heart. I can not help but approve. Thanks Mad. -abs

    Role Play Challenge, The Next Generation: Sid Meier, The Civilized Tyrant

    I have a city!!! I promise to be as much of a war-mongering, evil, despotic, governor as you will allow me to be. Any chance I can see a screenshot of my city, so I can better oppress them for you of course . .. .. . Excellent work on the long rush to owning your continent by the way. I...

    Role Play Challenge, TNG: Mad Scientist, A New World Order

    Yeah, I considered advising chariots. Speed is good, and Shaka is seriously hate-worthy. I just hate throwing horses at impis. But if you're fast enough to beat him getting to impis . . . . -abs

    Role Play Challenge, TNG: Mad Scientist, A New World Order

    I'd say smack 'em. If you're going to play food and spies you can really use an early hammer. Personally, I'd do Shaka with Bronze Working in the library. Then I'd nail Gilgamesh with chariots in the study. After that I'm a little lost. -abs edit: Besides, you're MadScientist. Don't let...

    Role Play Challenge, TNG: Mad Scientist, A New World Order

    I'm tempted to suggest going spy heavy and stealing your way to victory. If you like it, farming the fp would seem the right directionn. -abs

    early gold age, worth it?

    I'm w. FutureHermit. The issue isn't whether an early GA is better than a late one. I actually think it might well be just because it's . . . well. . . . . early. The issue however is whether an early GA is better than the alternative use of the GP in question. And there, usually it is...

    Religion & Espionage

    I don't often get the -40%, but damn I love the -25%. I agree it's a major part of an espionage game. -abs

    Aggresive Whipping Tips

    Tip #XX: If you're chopping and whipping in the early game don't stack too much overflow into anything, sometimes you lose hammers if your production isn't high enough. -abs is in the lame-tips business today, this one's free

    Let's Play Civ 4

    I would settle in place, agreed. I prefer Pottery first, then Bronze Working. I'd go with a worker first and cottage first. Getting your capital's early commerce going is important. You're Financial and I feel early cottages exploit that. If you go Bronze Working first you're...

    my games last too long

    3-5 hrs? Gods that's fast FH. I play standard maps, normal speed, with the typical number of AIs. My games take 10-15 hours. I gotta be doing something wrong. -abs

    Role PLay Challenge: Chairman Mao's Revised Plan

    I think you should avoid the internet. Remember first that they will cause you to learn forbidden technology. Then consider the real-life Great Firewall of China. China is quite famous for it's highly censored internet access. I bet if they could just blot it away from the world entirely...

    Role PLay Challenge: Chairman Mao's Revised Plan

    I hate Freaky Yellow Martian Dude. You know what to do Madscientist. March yourself over to Mao's house and speak unto him with your God Voice. "LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!" And good riddance to him. My least favorite AI. -abs

    Role PLay Challenge: Chairman Mao's Revised Plan

    It's too late for a chariot rush to work anyway. He's got two cities up. It'd have to be an early war instead. For that he should grow at the moment. -abs
