On my Mac Pro I am running Parallels and Civ 4 Beyond the Sword with no problems. Parallels has 'official' support for Civ 4, so it runs VERY well. It seems to be able to harness a great deal of my Mac Pro's power as even playing massive games with 18 Tribes, turns take seconds. The only...

I am looking for a little advice to help salvage my current game. I am an long time Civ veteran, and just picked up Warlords this weekend. My experience with Civ4 was very light compared to my Civ3 play time. I am going through and re-reading the manual right now to refresh my understanding...

I just picked up Civ4 Over this weekend and have been chewing through my first game. I am doing fairly well in my current game, but my first major war that I waged did not turn out anywhere near as well I had hoped. In Civ3, I was a huge fan of the Indirect Fire weapons and the bombard...

Thanks for all the information guys! Lots of my questions were answered here. It seems as though its pretty flexible to allow unique tech trees, this is however tied to civ choice. This should work good :) Cheers,

I am thinking of starting work on a scenario. However I want to have it so not everyone works on the same tech tree. I would like there to be some choices. You either go down path 1 or path 2. I do know I can add flavours to a technology and then tell a specific civ not to use a flavour or...

In the Civilopedia the Shogun-1 -> Shogun-10 descriptions look like they were copy and pasted. The only thing that changes according to the Civilopedia is the Attack and Defence. Lazy lazy lazy :) However in playing the scenario the Shogun also gains other abilities. I have seen my Shogun...

I am playing this scenario right now. I use my Warlord as a front line warrior, I do save often! He was upgraded to a 5/5 when the world had Bushis, 3/2 so he was the brute for sure. I would pile stacks of workers / siege units with him. Not once did he get attacked. I also have used...

I am now on my third scenario. The first scenario I also played Pacific WW2. I played as the commonwealth. I thought I had done very well, only loosing one city to the Japanese ( they took it first turn before I got to move ). Later in the game they too and razed Hong Kong ( bastards! ). I...

I am playing the Japanese conquest scenario. Im doing fairly well in the game. Im guessing Im number two on the island with the big guys right beside me. We are "friendly" though, trading a resources. He is however attacking me with Ninjas. Before I got my act together and put of a screen...

It all comes down to I hate what the AI sticks in the Military queue :) Ill struggle and do whatever it takes to ensure that my wussy little people dont build ground troops or 500 colony vessels when they could be building dreadnaughts :)

Lets talk about X. I have only barely started to explore this method of winning the game. I just discovered were to activate the explorations a couple days ago. I told it to send out a detachment to see what it could find. Many many turns later I get a message that "they" found something...

I dont use the AI .. I find it does silly stuff for the way I play. Currenly I am ranked 7 out of 9 in Galactic standings but when I look at victory conditions my fleet is between 10-25 times stronger than any of my neighbours. Makes me feel. Hey, I may not have the most planets, I may...

Yes that is what I do mean. I have encountered that middle to late in the game my planets and system can grow so quickly using the set migration option that I have to important starships to ensure that my people dont get out of control and rebel before the planetary shield and the recreation...

In the planet report you can click on a planet then at the bottom of the screen you have an "Orders" tab. There you will find a Send Colony | Send Outpost | Set Migration options If you click on set migration people will start to move to this planet. However people naturally seem to...

I was reading about this on another forum. Seems as though it can happen but you have to be pretty lucky. As the post commented when you are in the senate you see motions to add another race to the senate very rarely, even more rarely are they seconded, and rarer still is there are majority...
