I have a somewhat irrational habit which is that I never, never, never ever change my capital from my first city to another, no matter if there are superior spots to have my capital in or if it is like on the border of the map when my empire is stretching all from the high north to the deep...

This is quite circumstancial, as I see it. First of all, as you said, it depends on the number of cities you are planning to build or that you eventually have already built. However it is a nice feature if you are playing on a crammed map (as I like to do), since it is essential that your...

In general I would also say that it is not really micro-management that you are lacking. To tell by experience, most default in-game settings are okay for noble. You just have to change/check a few things. It is more decisive that you always act and plan on a middle and long term, which...

:wallbash: Stupid me. Of course. Thank you very much! :)

As early as possible. I only build the essentials beforehand, since an early city foundation will potentiate itself with time. Same I would with a third and maybe a fourth city. After my altogether fourth foundation I would severely consider building another city so early, since costs could then...

The key word is "flexibility": In military history there has always been the question how one can use his forces with the higest efficiency delivering the best effects. So if you intend to protect all of your cities against enemy invasions with infantry, it is clear that it will be costful...

Tips for extreme beginners: -> go and play Civ I. Getting a simple but practical overview over the mechanics of the Civilization series lets one better understand what is more or less important. :D That's the easiest way, actually, to learn Civs with higher degrees of complexity.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask nor could I find any helping information yet, therefore I will ask here: When I regularly load the mod into the game, it starts perfectly well, but all text fields are blank. It is hard to navigate under these circumstances, but I managed to start...

The only buggy experience I ever had with CivI occurred about ~15 years ago (I had just joined school, if I remember it right). I had a random map with big landmasses, a wet moderate climate and old mountains on the warlord difficulty. My settler started by the ocean and I founded my first city...

I think you can't really do it in another way. But make sure you got siege weapoons like catapults, triboks, cannons, etc. In the very beginning of the game, you can also just stack warriors and attack. Works quite fine too. In my last game I destroyed two civs with warriors only (they only had...

Tell me honestly and seriously that the Russian Communism, Bolshevism and Stalinism, were no threat to the free world. Do so with the terror attacks of 911, that they were by good intent.

Considering that this thread here is Off-Topic, but my answer gives an answer to the question in this thread, my anyswer is On-Topic in the Off-Topic, but now, this post was even Off-Topic ine the Off-Topic.:lol:

Well, in my opinion this forum seeks discussions about the Civ games (I, II, III, IV, Rev) and nothing else, except for the Off-Topic. So if someone claims anything about Islam, be it concerning the game (for example (it's not what I think, but this could be the case): "Civs with Islam should...

This map is a quite simple one: It is a round-shaped island where in the middle there is a relatively large lake that forms, for it causes humidity, an oasis with predominantly jungles, from which the name of the map is derived. Everything else on the island is merely desert, which is why it...

I don't see a reason why we shouldn't: The question was: Your quickest war? Not: What was your quickest war, where the enemy had more cities that you could conquer in one turn? My war was a war like any other (except you believe the question to have been the second one).
