I will protect "my allies" in most games. I hate to see a single AI dominating others and will often protect the smaller ones. I find that in the late stages i often have forces based in a good few nations across the planet ready to help out if that big neighbour makes a move on them. I...

Thanks Tomlo. Much appreciated. I'm gonna upgrade if its cheaper.

Is this right?

S i bought Civ 4 and it will install on my comp but wont play. (everything is blank when i start a game). My system specs says Time Computers AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ 1.54 GHZ 224 MB of Ram I am a bit dense when it comes to technical thingies and have no idea what all that...

I'm thinking "chemical" weapons. A bit like an ICBm but affect infantry and population only...and a new promotion too "NBC warfare" allowing units greater chance at surving a chem/bio or nuke attack.

Thanks Kolpo.:goodjob:

I think I remember seeing a preview which metioned a Medic promotion which will alow units to heal other units. Was I dreaming? and if not...anyone any idea how this would work?

I think that given that the health of your citizens now deepends partly on access to fresh water it could be possible that if you fortified a unit over an aquaduct square it might cancel out the benefits of it to an enemy city. Im sure in ancient times besieging a city and cutting its fresh...

I don't think i would raze it (if possible). Imagine your at war with a nation and you take a holy city, not only do you get an instant line of sight to your enemys cities(presuming they are the same religion as the captured holy city) but you start draing gold away from your enemy...also gives...

Does anyone know if we can break a resolution? Like building nukes in defiance of the Non-proliferation treaty. And if so..what are the consequences?

England. I just want to make my own thin red line of those Red Coats!

I think they are a great idea. The idea of "generated" resources is brilliant. I can already see the mods now....coal and iron in a city limit allows construction of a steel works. Uranium and fresh water...enriched plutoinum plant! The modding prospects are excellent.

I think the main reason they've included these new limitations is to allow the AI and human player to fight a nuclear war on a more even footing. In Civ III the human always had a big advantage in that he could target whatever he wanted with his nukes, stacks, resource squares, infrastructure...

Sorry? the second cultural city for the English Civ after London should be Edinburgh and 3rd Cardiff!!! Scotish and Welsh!!!

OooH! CV Thunderchild. Nice name! H.G Wells we love you.
