I think this thread is excellent ABigCivFan. I'm really learning from your posts about how you prioritise what is most important for a city to do at any time and how that a city can easily change it's function at a later date. I'm generally a Monarch level player but even with a good start...

Yep - Well done! Very impressive. Good write up! :goodjob:

Nice victory Aelf. :goodjob: Your build up of Navy, Bombers, SEALs & Tanks is something I could really learn from in my games. I always seem to not have a correct mix of units for a 20th century war and this has shown me the way! Thanks again. Boppy.

Okay - thanks for letting me know! :-)

Hi, I just downloaded WOTM 2 and HOF 2.00.002. One thing I am confused about is that I thought (having read the "HOF mod to be made compulsory" thread) is that "Lock Modified Assets" would be turned on. But having opened WOTM 2 this appears not to be the case - in the victory settings there...

Hi Sisiutil, Excellent second round. From reading all your ALC games so far I really feel that your grasp of where to found cities and build queue ordering in the early game has improved greatly and you're now very competent in such decisions - as your seem much keener to now play larger...

Looks like you're going for The Tubes type victory :) Boppy

These ALC games and write-ups are fantastic Sisiutil. :goodjob: Crazy I know but I sometimes prefer to not play Civ 4 and check to see if your game has developed further! :crazyeye: Well done everyone with their thoughtful responses. Now that ALC2 I can get back to playing again! :)...

Stone age for me. :) There's nothing like sitting down to a fresh game of Civ4 and deciding what tech route to take depending on your new surroundings. Along with that deciding where to build cities and what to build in the early turns makes this period of the game exceptional fun in my...

Hi, Moving house and a huge hard disk crash has forced me to miss the last two GOTMs but I for one am glad to see the reduction in difficulty level as I think I've forgotten everything I've learned about Civ4 whilst I haven't been playing! Looking forward to reading some superb write-ups for...

Hi, Going back to the earlier discussion of whether to send Warriors into goody huts or not. I tend to always do it as I often find that if I don't the hut soon gets grabbed by an AI scout. I feel they have enough advantage as it is without them getting "my" huts. I think I need to practice...

Hi, Although new to the Civ scene I am quite keen that the GOTM difficulty has increased again. Before GOTM2 I was struggling at around Noble level. Now thanks to GOTM2 and reading about people's various tactics and strategies I find Prince fine. I find the GOTM as well as being great fun is...

Cheers Ainwood and AlanH and everyone else involved with the first Civ4 GOTM. It's certainly raised my Civ4 playing experience and was great fun. Some of those scores are damn impressive!

I went for a Domination Victory. First I rolled over the Greeks. I then stopped churning out military units to improve my cities for a bit to get my science rate up. Looking at what others did I'm not sure this was the best strategy as going for Astronomy and then heading over to the other...

Hi, I have submitted my entry (just in time!). However, I got a bit confused with the last turn thing and saved the game a go later than I was meant to (I won in 1890 but saved in 1894 rather than 1892). I thought you were meant to select "Carry on playing" and then save the next go. Sorry...
