I'm not sure if it's different in Diety, but if you take an opponent's capital, the remaining cities can be subverted by dips until a palace is built. I've done this in the past by conquering the capital by force and subverting the remaining cities. (It's cheaper too, since the capital is...

Well OzyII, What i would do is make a worker and fill up the near by improvements then build a settler. I repeat the cycle untill i have archery:cool: son of Ceaserhall civ 4 BTS player

I had wondered that at first, but I went back and dug out the save and reloaded it. At the beginning of the turn in 1989ad, I hear the horns of DOW and see on the log on the upper left saying Alex has cancelled three trade deals I had with him, then the DOW. After that, (going bottom to top)...

When it happened the first time, I thought Alex had declared war on me, but it wasn't the case; I had declared war on him, though I hadn't contacted him to declare war or attacked any of his units, and since we had Open Borders, I was moving freely through his territory with missionaries...

Something like that happened to me in a game. I was playing Cathy and though I did nothing, the game suddenly declares war on Alexander. I replayed the sequence several times and got the same outcome. The best guess I have is that 'Cathy' got mad at Alexander for ending some trade deals...

"Bess" for Elizabeth I. I think that was how some referred to her when she reigned. R.Hall ceaserhall@yahoo.com ""-empty string

Strangely enough, in my game I didn't have aluminum either. Despite my mining efforts, I got no random pops of aluminum, but I did get more uranium and some gems. When the game says 'small chance' they mean it. Even though I never got aluminum, I dominated my rivals so much that not...

I recently finished a vanilla civ 4 game on chieftan level (still learning). In the beginning, I had plenty of copper and horses, but no iron. I was still able to wipe out invading barbs and acquire three nice barb cities with what I had, but I knew I needed that iron to defend myself against...

I've had some freezes playing vanilla civ4 on an imac with Leopard. I'll be able to move around the map, but all the units and 'buttons' are unresponsive. I do a lot of saving just in case. I'm new to IV, but I'm having loads of fun. R.Hall ceaserhall ""-empty string

I've been promising myself for years I'd buy a new computer and it's about to happen. It's going to be an iMac (since all my stuff is on an ancient mac now) and I've read about the horrors of Civ IV on a mac. I'm taking the plunge anyway. Civ IV's on the way. :aargh: My son suggested Civ...

President Ashoka (the Strong) of the Indians, 1865AD No surprises. Spaceship victory in 1865. I took the Celtic capital of Cardiff by force in 1857. I believe that is the first time in the game I did that. I made peace with the Celts in the next year and continued working my...

President Ashoka of the Indians, 1856AD I'm in the phase of the game where I'm constantly beset by angry rivals and their attacks. In 1838, I lost a submarine and a destroyer to a Zulu sneak attack. I bribe away the Zulu city of Kells, and supported by my senate, I bribe the Zulu city of...

President Ashoka of the Indians, 1834AD I had a brief war with the Celts back in 1818. They destroyed one of my engineering units near Caernafon with a bomber, so I sent a fighter unit and destroyed it. Peace soon ensued, but I'm not forgetting. In 1832, the Carthagenians stole...

President Ashoka of the Indians, 1816AD I got in a few turns before I had to leave for work. I have the Apollo wonder now, and I see the whole map. Not many goody huts left, and I see the Carthagenians got to almost all the remaining islands. I see the Zulus have a couple more cities...
