Maybe they're fortified.

I'm still not sold that the idea of getting techs from conquest is a good idea in any way to begin with. I don't think that if one nation were to conquer another that they would be able to understand everything that the people they conquered understood. If what you are proposing (and what was...

I think I recall something like this happening when I played a while back, even before I stared using mods or tooling around with files. I'm not sure why it happened, but at least I can attest to it happening as well.

I tend to be a frugal person and I don't look at playing with one leader all the time as being weak or anything like that, I look at it as a waste of money. You paid for the game, you paid for the experience, you paid for all the leaders, map types, difficulties and victory conditions...

While playing through a game as Willem in BAT 1.2, I found a strange bug with the gunship. The Civlopedia doesn't show anything for the gunship, just a simple unit button and when you use the gunship, it doesn't use its interface, it actually assumes the interface of the last thing you had...

As far as his picture is concerned it seems that media personnel always search for the absolute worst, most creepy looking picture of a suspect or perpetrator before publishing an article about them.

Sorry, but what happened to Andrew Johnson? The white supremacist in charge of the post Civil War Reconstruction. He was the first president to be impeached.

I'm from Vermont and I know one serious cost issue for our schools, if they decided to go to a full year system would be installing air conditioning. Vermont, while not always hot during the Summer tends to have a week or maybe two out of every summer month that tend to be extremely warm...

I think it might have to do with the fact that since FDR the Executive branch (the president) of the US government has grown considerably stronger. IMHO the Legislature and individual states had a lot more power during the early 1900's and before than after the Great Depression and New Deal...

In order to do something like that, you would have to slow things down much further than Marathon speed. I would foresee a slower speed than marathon being even more warmonger friendly, having massive armies by 400 BC or so. While it would be cool for your warrior to take a day in the game...

I just want to know these three things about the reviewer. What difficulty was he playing on (I hope for his pride's sake it wasn't settler or chieftain)? How many times did he play Civ4 vanilla and BTS before reviewing it? Finally, how much did he get paid to publish this?

You can be the secretary general of the UN, but not win the game. The secretary general chooses what resolutions to propose, one of which is the diplomatic victory resolution. If you propose that resolution you could win the game if you get enough votes. Keep in mind that even though people...

I'm more of a builder/peace monger so I usually go for cultural. I'll go for diplomatic or religious if the opportunity arises, but generally I don't draw my line between friend and foe enough to get a diplomatic victory. I sometimes have to contend with people like Isabella when trying to win...

I think an idea of supply lines would be more favorable than ammunition. Hail presented the idea of supply trucks, that might be too much. I think that if there is a reasonable route between your unit and your country or an allies' country, then your unit would be properly supplied with food...
