Elizabeth executed extremists of both sides of the religious coin - extreme Catholics and Puritans - as they were seen to be a threat to her authority, not just because of their religion, per se. In general, she wanted to get away from the religious persecutions of previous reigns, and that were...

Irrationally rearranging my invasion plans if Catherine slaps me or Gilgamesh looms at me - I know it's just a computer program but they get -10 diplo hit from me for "your AI characteristics wind me up".

There are a few articles in the War Academy under "Peacemonger Strategies" and also "Game Mechanics" - I got my first cultural win after reading these. "The Power of Sushi" is def worth a read, Sushi corp can net you loads of culture, especially if you are on a watery map.

HI - hoping someone can help a technical numpty. My PC died on me and I've bought a new laptop. I reinstalled Civ 4 last night, seems to be fine. Then I reinstalled BTS. I've got CIV 4 icons on my desktop and in my programs list but not BTS. I've got the BTS disk in, and if I eject and...

Having read back through the thread, I'm glad to see that there are actually only a couple of comments I would consider "anti-women", which backs up the thought that most people on the forum are nice people ;-) The fact is that women do play less PC games than men (none of my female friends do...

I'm female (really, not just pretending for the poll) plus my sister's now addicted to Civ since I bought it for her for Xmas - her husband's not too thrilled about that, I reckon.

I wonder what programmes would actually be shown on "Civ TV"? 7:00 Friends - the one where Catherine stabs everyone in the back 8.00 Location, Location, Location - Kirsty and Phil help the Persians find the best spot for their next city 9:00 Top Gear - Jeremy Clarkson road tests the Camel...

I've played Augustus more than Julius, and Victoria more than Elizabeth, and with the Persians, just finished a great war game, best ever Domination score, with Darius. Vic & Darius gave me the financial strength to look after a newly-captured empire and for Augustus, the praets give you...

weird, this happened to me last night and I was just thinking about posting a question on it. However, it was Hammurabi's second to last city, and as I only had "my" worker in the city and couldn't get troops there faster than two moves, he took it straight back so nothing really changed and I...

thanks for all the advice - finally used a GG to upgrade a rifeman whilst smashing the Egyptians and then built West Point (unfortunately after the war was over, but I'll plan better next time ;) ) Oh, and cheers for the beer Supr49er!

aha, that makes sense, thanks!

hi - long-time lurker, but finally needed to register for a question I can't find an answer to with Search.... I actually got as far as some level6 units this game but I still couldn't build West Point anywhere - I checked numbers of National Wonders (only 1 in the city), and I could see West...
