in my games Meroe is written like Mero? - coz of the e with the two dots above All unregular symbols are also replaced with ? which is kind of annoying. It would be good to use only normal symbols for city names - not everybody's machine and character coding is the same.

I would also love to see developed barbs blossoming up into civs - like in the revolution mod.

I have an idea how to ballance the barbs especially on the fertile crescent map I had to edit constantly egypt and my other desert neighbours to survive. While it is possible for the human to survive - half of the AI's get wiped out. The threat comes mainly from random barb spamming than from...

I am in too..

I found a way to make decent swamps maybe it will be of use to you: - create lots of small islands with grassland tool with only one water tile between them. - after that use ocean tool to replace only the coast terrain between the islands with ocean. You will see a nice swamp effect where...

did you repair the rivers? coz on v0.4 rivers were misplaced and strange edit: sorry I have read that you updated the rivers - great now I can playtest the map

oh sorry - was not aware that you took part in that nice scenario. :) btw - to make a real map would it be better to be an enourmous map of earth but with impassable ocean/land terrain at some point, instead of a rectangular shape? I still think those "land edges" of a rectangular map give...

hi thamis - just some of my thoughts on the project: I enjoyed a lot playing the ancient scenario that comes with the original Civ4 and you can take some ideas from there mainly: - the circle around the map - it is a nice touch as the the sea/ocean and mountains were made in such a way that...

wow - thanx - this is awesome more years will be ok too - will give a better look and orientation.

with OCC the easisest by far is cultural victory. on harder levels it is best to start with lots of opponents on smaller maps to compensate for the dificulty handycap

yeh for diplo religion is the key spread it fast and early if you dont have open borthers with everybody choose a guy that you have open borders with that has open borders with other civs and then constanly send him as gift missionarries :) which he will use immediately on other civs. ah and...

also at the point when Electricity comes you need to play with your cities a bit - dont let the computer decide the city tile usage. I have noticed that in late game if you put automanagement without any options the computer will chose the setting with maximum production while having slow...

sure I love longer games too, I would dream for an epic or longer but with reduced production times - to be able to wage larger and longer wars etc. Also I like the idea of nursering a unit to get maximum promotions. But it is hard in current game settings as even on epic sciences are...

welcome prospero. before I give you some advice I will also give you a warning. I still have Civ I installed on my laptop. Civ III is still installed on my desktop comp. I've played this game since it was released many, many years ago and continue to do so. Be careful not to adict too much :)...

also try to read the article about combat here in the forum in articles. It is explained via mathematics. I've read it and I perfectly understand the combat system now there is also a useful trick with alt+mouseover on target. Try it.
