Dang, there goes that plan of getting them while they are young. Were those soldiers a wasted purchase then?

Ok, I just bought the game yesterday and I am still trying to figure it out. What is driving me crazy is I bought 2 verteran soldiers in Europe and I have this nice little French city right here and I can't enter the land to declare a war. No "lets go to war" option in diplomacy, why...

Wonder if I could get a little help here... Im not that computer savy, but I would love to try this mod. Problem is that although I have downloaded it twice (once from each site) I cant get it to install. It dosent download as a zip file as far as I can tell since when I try and open it all I...

What have you guys found to be the best use for the warlord? Unit, greatperson in city or build acadmey? Im a bit curious since although I have the expansion, I havent been able to play long enough to get my first warlord yet. (Wife got in the way) :(

If I turn on the always war option, does that just mean that I am always at war with the AIs and they can have peace or is everyone always at war with everyone else? I hope that its just an all out brawl :nuke:

I decided to try a Great Plains game since I read somewhere that you can sometimes start with an overload of stuff on your first city.... WOW. (No map moding..ever) George Washington: 4 cow (1 on a floodplain 1 on a plains/hill) 2 floodplains (1 w/cow). Thought this was nice, then 2 horse...

Ive used worldbuilder on occasion to make sure im not getting totaly hosed on a start, just to look around btw. There have been a few games though where ive declared it to be officaly over and had some fun after that with the builder. 100 nuke on their last city, all launched at once. :scan:

I think we need to get the cruisers back in to the game. The US Navy uses the Aegis Cruisers and they are super powerfull. Of couse any ship the navy uses is really just there to protect the aircraft carrier in the center of the battle group.

Come on, the books have been great, just he has a lot of things to finish up and just a little bit more time to do it in. Mat rocks!

Im pretty sure ive mastered noble, but im unsure about moving up a nother difficulty lvl. Can anyone recomend a good civ to start out as I understand that some civs are better at higher lvls. I tend to enjoy quite a bit of warmongering but is that still possible at higher lvls? So far my...

This move is a little cheap but if you really hate the barbs that much just go to a custom game and turn them off. I have done that a few times before when I just really didnt want to be bothered by the swarms of barbs. I dont recomend this for a normal game, but in ones like you are playing...

Sometimes it just happens that way. Bum luck on the villiage pop.

No, its usless to use religious civics with no religion. Saladin did the same thing to me in my last game, what a moron. He wouldnt even use my missionaries when I gave them to him!

In the older civs you were able to take a tech from a civ when you gained one of their cities by force. God how I miss that. I wonder if anyone could make a mod for that or do you guys think it might be overpowered? I can remember a time that I would declare war just for the purpose of...

The blue glow of the water inside a reactor mentioned above would most proably be caused by activated cobalt in the piping or even lose in the core. Cobalt will glow blue when irradiated. It isnt H2O itself that glows. Cobalt is used in the construction of the reactor and especialy in older...
