    Whimsical names for cities

    :lol: Brilliant! I have never been that creative with my city renaming, but it would definitely add some humor!! :D Sometimes from the outset I'll rename cities, usually just get the ideas from other games or comics or other general pop culture. Also occasionally I'll name them after cities...

    PolyCast Episode 114: "Never Hear the End of It"

    Effective chopping

    I like to chop and whip, and early rush!! :lol: But I usually leave a couple of forests around for lumbermills... but it sounds like maybe lumbermills aren't as good as workshops? I haven't really used workshops much but don't sometimes people use them to replace other existing improvements...

    Dang, Yo! - How to Get Decimated but still be a Dashing Dictator on Deity

    I miss the end of game summary

    Same. ;) I find it really awkward when the game ends. It's always like.. "That's it?" I want to relive the history I just created at least once!

    PolyCast Episode 105: "Off-Kilter"

    I discovered polycast through this site only about a month or so ago, so yes fairly new listener. But really enjoying it.. now going through the back catalogue! :) After a long hiatus I returned to playing Civ iv again earlier this year once I heard Civ 5 was coming out, and now am playing...
