This bugged me when it happened a few years ago. Don't know if it's still possible.

I'll chime in with a few thoughts. By no means an expert, though. First place I look to drop a Cottage: Flood Plains. 3F!!! Then 3F +4C when it's a town? Bueno!! Drop it early and often. :) After that, when the tech becomes available, I start looking for city specialization for...

C'mon. If you lived in a hut for 100 years and someone came by with a club, wouldn't you tell him where the ocean was? :D Peace out (warmongers)

Thanks man. I knew I'd mess something up. Peace

I'm going to try to tackle this one, because it was a lot of trial and error on my part. I'm not putting myself up as an authority, so if I screw something up, someone correct me. A city can work the 'fat cross' and only those tiles. I posted this in another thread about city...

I hate that the thread might degenerate into this, but, I'll indulge it for a second because maybe there's something that I missed. How does terrain matter? Your answer: Here's what I heard: On plains, build farms. On hills, build mines. Chop forests. If you have alot of cottages...

Did you even RTFQ?

I've been playing a while, but, one thing seems to escape me. Planning cities based upon the land layout they are on. Let me put forth a few things before I begin. I never move my first settler, I plop him down where he starts. Anything else I find nearby that would have been better is...

Good Point. Most times, if I don't have stone and I'm building the Pyramids, if I make it first, GREAT. If another civilization makes it a few turns before I do...bah. What you gonna do? Pour that money into some research. If they beat me by one turn....I throw the computer out the window...

I can deal with any starting resource, but, when the map spawns, I'm looking around to find Stone. Every game. It's a hard climb if you don't. Smaller hill to climb if you do.

I gotta go with Stonehenge. The culture is such a help without additional investment that there is no equal (at least for my playstyle). Everything else comes when it comes. For example, if you don't bust out the Pyramids, you'll get the civics by adjusting your tech focus when you need to...

I'm confused. First, let me say hi. I got CivIV for Christmas from the wife and it's awesome. But, being so new (I haven't played since Civ II, I think), I don't get it. On Marathon how is a 3560 BC Conquest victory possible? I don't get how you could win that fast. What I do know is an...
