I have once seen barbarians take Delhi - holy city of Hinduism with Stonehenge. Cultured barbarian cities followed.

Chariots don't receive defensive bonuses, so no +75% from hill with forest. It was 5 (axeman) vs. 4,4 (chariot).

Would you be willing to buy a Civ4 DLC with new civs, new UUs, UBs and leaders (no other new content, beside perhaps a new trait to allow more leaders without repeating existing trait combinations)? I know there is no chance for such a thing, but imagine there is.

2270) You visit internet forums in hope of becoming a great person.

My bet is on another nation.

Byzantines had a Christian symbol as their flag in CIV and this would never stop them from founding Buddhism.

That's a screenshot from one of my older games, so I don't remember if it was actually near one of the poles, but it's still desert next to tundra.

Ninja will require of you to be allied with a Japanese city-state, have certain social policies unlocked and certain technologies researched. It will be able to enter tiles occupied by other units, perform spy-like missions and be invisible until it attacks. Pirate will be a land version of...

Their leader is Charles V. His face is used for Polish king in medieval scenario (including his unit) and French king in Age of Discovery. Their unit - the Hussar - is used in Napoleonic Wars. All files should be in whatever place those things are normally stored, (i.e. the standard folders, not...

Every one of these Civs will be in the game sooner or later, except the Phoenicians, who are probably going to make it on day one as a city-state (most likely Tyre). I voted for all but Phoenicians, as I think they should just include every mandatory Civ in vanilla/first expansion and go for...

AI does not use the free promotions on arcane units. I've captured plenty of them with Chalid and was able to use these promotions myself. Edit: Another explanation may be that arcane units are given free promotion to spent upon capture, just like they are given magic promotios from...

It was to be sponsored by Illians.

Lucian promised them a feast and he is still alive, so perhaps +10:food: in all cities, scaled by game speed.
