Emperor, domination, T210.

:lol: Okay, since most of the discussion was still on cap placement (I know, guys, I know :crazyeye: ) I'm going to go with LeftAdjoint's Ag > BW plan. I'll try not to screw things up too badly...when I loaded the save, I heard a cough from Stalin that sounded suspiciously like "gulag". Why...

You're not laughing at my misfortune, you're laughing at my mistakes. I gotta say, I laughed myself. :D LeftAdjoint, what you're saying makes sense to me. In the absence of compelling arguments to the contrary, I'll probably go with it. Turn will be played tonight PST.

Wow, crabs were within SIP radius. Not sure how I missed that. Could be worse, but the catastrophe's already starting to live up to its name. Any thoughts on the build/tech paths?

One move by the scout later, I mind this start a lot less: This seems to rule out Mylene's option. I could still go 2E1S, but the only way I could get either seafood at that point would be to place a second city on the fur, whereas I can still use the sheep and wheat if I settle for the...

Makes good sense. Any thoughts on the scout? Right, done. Can you direct me to the latest version, by any chance? This is the only one I could find.

Inspired by Silverbow's All Leader Fail, which is more in my spirit as a player than the All Leader Challenge, I've begun my own attempt - the All Leader Catastrophe, which is yet more personalized. We'll be starting on Prince (my current difficulty), and I'll use my own discretion about moving...

Great game so far. Please take "I can't believe you're doing so well" as the compliment it's intended to be. :p

I've just gotten back into Civ4 after a long break, before which I don't believe I ever played above Noble. I've played three complete games so far - one on Noble that I won easily, a second on Prince that I barely eked out a space race on (tiny starting continent, bad city management), and a...

Kids these days. No sense of nostalgia. I wasn't actually born until the second season of that show. Second game on Prince is going...about the same, actually. I got my nice big continent, my war to take the lion's share of it is doing well, but Mehmed II has been refusing to vassal with...

Now this is the story all bout how My difficulty got flipped, turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute promise not to bore I'll tell you how I played on Prince in a game of Civ 4. In a tiny continent born and raised, Korean by birth and Wang Kon by name, Chilling, expanding, acting all...

Thanks for all the help guys, this is great. So to summarize the main points, it looks like I should: build significantly more workers manage my builds better (granaries first, whipping, chopping) improve more tiles (cottages EVERYWHERE is I assume a corollary) pick techs based on what's...

Ah, didn't know that this constituted "strange" map conditions. Thanks. :)

Hey folks, I'm a pretty terrible Civ4 player coming back to the game after an age and a half where it wasn't installed. Played a game on warlord (Pacal II, Huge, Big'n'Small, Normal speed), dominated it pretty decisively, but there's about a hundred turns till my utterly inevitable cultural...

EDIT: It isn't actually freezing any more. Just taking a really, really long time to open up the singleplayer menu, relative to not having the mod loaded. Factor of about ten.
