Will the CRIII trebs still work even if he has a castle and 100% defense? I've never really tried that before but it sounds like a heck of an idea.

Hey there, Playing an MP game and I share a continent with China as Japan. He unfortunately has a stronger manufacturing base, and we're playing with some low research speed mods, basically keeping us in the medieval times. So I just got Guilds and Engineering, to match up with my Samurai...

How is his health +125?

Sorry to bump this as it says delete please, but I just noticed this in two of my cities in my current game. Is this not a bug, or has it just been reported elsewhere? EDIT: ROFL I need to learn to read the first line of the post XD

I'm starting to play around with Python, and the best way I learn this sort of stuff is often by example. What other games out there extensively use Python so I can expand my codebase, to hopefully play around with and learn Python? This is probably not the right forum, but the mods...

Melee and Gunpowder units receive the extra Combat I promotion. Tanks don't fall into either category. Though for an offensive I'd rather have Modern Armor too for the most part. I prefer to have my Mech Inf. be the defensive support troop so that I can take advantage of defensive bonuses if...

In a lot of 4X games, the AI tends to have an innate "negative" view of you if you are particularly powerful (especially in first place). I wouldn't be surprised if Civ 4 is the same way.

I'm pretty sure it's +50% commerce with Bureaucracy.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was because it was a 3rd party. I captured it from the Persians, but lost it to the Chinese (after the Persians were dead too).

I know that this isn't true though. I played a game where I captured a Persian city close to the Chinese border. A bit later, it eventually did flip. I bet after a bit of time it's no longer called a "captured city" any more. This was probably done to stop the annoying "you've captured a...

I know the airport opens up another route, though I don't know if it is only with other cities that have airports or whatnot. Coastal cities have benefits because they can trade with farther away places and also build the harbor.

I've been thinking on modding the game to give Subs a bonus against battleships (or maybe even just "attack" or at the very least maybe a first strike). Then probably have Destroyers have a bonus against subs, and if I do go subs first strike then have destroyers naturally immune to first...

I don't mind the organized religion one. I usually switch to Theocracy just prior to going to war, with Vassalage, IF I have the penatgon so I get insta level 3 guys. It was kind of nice building marines with +2 combat and march for taking out cities and amphibious assaults (which are >> than...

Did you declare war on anyone?

I have only played with patch 1.52, but I am pretty happy with the Civilopedia. But if that is his dealbreaker for the game then :eek:
