I love watching @Lain videos, his vids have been a tremendous help to my game, and he's big reason why I posted a video. I guess in the beginning I was trying to find food without venturing too far away from the FP cow. I agree now that I should have stayed near the stone, I was too greedy...

Wow I see what your saying regarding my poor city placement, and its really bugging me now... Stealing that extra city from Mongolia would have been so tasty! I definitely need to plan my cities out better. Thanks for your help!

Ahhh I see what your saying! I think I was trying to avoid barbs or something but I wasn't thinking enough to get those extra tiles. Thanks!

Hey all, I've been playing BTS almost since its start, and after lots of time spent on the forums and on youtube, I have finally began to win about 50% of my immortal games. With this confidence, also comes games where I destroy my economy as a result of war, foreign AI uncontrollably vassal...

Yes I have MacBUFFY 3.19.003 Thanks -Paul

Hi, this is my first time playing the game of the month, and Im encountering a 'protected to ensure the assets have not been changed' issue. I downloaded the save, and dragged it to Civ 4 BTS>Saves>Single (Mac). Any help would great thanks and good luck!

so heres my question, in the early game, lets say around 2700BC when your getting your first settler off, since your not growing while building the settler. it would seem smart to priorities hammers over food. however for example when i switch from a farmed corn with 5 :food: to a unworked...

i wouldve settled the initial city 1S. ik settling on a flood plain is frowned against, but in the long run its better because you can build its UB a dyke (although im not sure if the dyke requires you to be river side) but more importantly you pick up grassland cow giving u three corn (easy...

as a emporer player, i would settle 1 west to pick up the pig. the only disadvantage to this is u lose out on the wine in your BFC. however you can always settle a second city on the tile 2 east from the starting spot to pick up the wine and plains cow as well as tile share the rice for a good...

you have pigs in your BFC.... so that means u researched AH early. do you have horse nearby? the only reason im asking is because the UU and UB for mongolia both surround the Keshik so if you have horse i would suggest do a horse archer rush over a axeman rush anyday. but im sure u already new...

is it me, or does anyone else think the chu ko nus (chinese xbows) are one of the best units in the game? there isnt a whole lot of hype about them but i mean, with a 50% meele buff and the collateral damage they destroy pre longbow units, and in some cercumstances longbows. on monarch, i can...

no stonehedge is a wonder u throw hammers, after uve spawn busted the area, gotten a settler out and such, into to get gold when u fail to complete it. Other wise to research mysticism and masnory depending on ur tech path and then to put hammers you could constructivly otherwise use, into it...

I think its interesting u mention nothing about emancipation. Im assuming its required to switch because of :-( but with an increased cottage growth im surprised u didnt mention it? Also with US im also going to assume u want us to hurry space production, u just menion something about more...

although ur civ is up an running nicely at a reasonable time, it kinda looks like you have ur work cut out for u diplomaticly right? i mean your border with 3 AIs, two of which are different religions, one of which is protective, and another who his a warring (japan) also protective. am i...

I always conquer them, caping isnt usually an option because feudalism is out of my reach tech wise. And i usually finish my first AI around 1000AD
