    How many days of work/school have you missed because of Civ?

    missed an afternoon class a few times by starting up a game after an early one and losing track of time

    Do you really want the AI to "act like a human"?

    AFAIK, Sid claimed to have never even played the game, although it is disputed

    Sewer

    yeah more or less, and for the purposes of the game, I am content in assuming the aqueduct encompasses an overall sewer type system

    1000 Beaker City

    in that last picture, how can you have 17 specialists assigned with only a 21 population and still work almost every tile? :confused:

    Statue of Zeus - AI War Deterrent?

    Does the AI take into account whether or not you have the Statue of Zeus (increased war weariness) before declaring war? Either personal experience or someone who knows the code is helpful! If not, I'm not sure its worth it for me to ever build.

    help

    bump for an example of how NOT to post a topic. for future reference: - the title should give an idea of what the thread is about, not "help"... for example, this thread could have been "Question about red slider" or "Interface help - sliders". - The manual is surprisingly helpful for...

    Freebie City?

    I'd assume it asked him whether he wanted to keep it or raze it after it "flipped" via the bug.

    How to use National Park

    just to clarify, the national epic will double the GPP (great people points), not GP (great people). since it costs more and more GPP's for each great person, the national epic less than doubles the actual amount of great people

    BtS harder or easier on same difficulty than Vanilla/Warlords?

    I went from vanilla as a prince player winning ~75% of the time to BTS and found it to be easier- never lost a BTS game on prince and have now moved up to monarch. The AI does seem smarter overall (especially in war) in BTS, but I seem to out tech them more easily... I could just be getting...

    Civ 4: Game of the year

    Does Stalin really belong in the game?

    Raging Barbarians

    There was no Great Wall wonder in the original Civ IV :sad: Maybe you're thinking Warlords.

    New player here.

    You can NEVER "work" a tile outside those 20 tiles in the city's big fat cross (BFC). But, as said, you can still gain access to resources on those tiles if they are in cultural borders and have the correct improvement on them (or the fort improvement can "access" any improvement, just another...
