i am playing now a barbarian scenario (noble, easy, 40 turns to start the game). I have done pretty well I believe but I have not yet won. I have 2 more civs that seam to have much more power. I am using my generals to create uber-units. I have 2 uber-swordsman with full-city attack, medic...

Hi, After several random games, I palyed the Greek Mod as Romans at Prince level. I managed to have the most points about 50 turns before the end of teh game, however I would prefer to conquer everybody. Is it possible? I have difficulties having a large naval fleet, thsu I could not...

I have reloaded some times in the following situations: 1. testing if I could take a city without waiting my cats to bombard 2. Accidentally moved my group outside the forest/jungle ny right clicking in a plains square thus the Ai will slaughter me afterwards or accidentally attacking by...

Most of the times when I capture a barbarian city is razed without being asked by the game. Why is that?

Married 2 children (6, 4): Time is full until 23:00 (wake-up, go to job, job, back to home, play with kids, eat, put kids to sleep, spend some time with wife) So Playing CIV4 == 4 hours of sleep at most! Not Playing CIV4 == 7-8 hours of sleep!

If I build the Pyramids, I switch to Police State just before rushing an opponent. I produce 1-2 more axemen, which are perfect for my rush. In the late game I never, because I use the culture slider for preventing war weariness and I have most the times plenty resources.

i believe one of the powers of the game (in order to become addicted) is the different map types. I have played: 1. archipelago = perfect for peace-loving periods 2. continents = when bored by diplomacy 3. pangaea = war is my name 4. terra (playing now) 5. inland sea = perfect for bordering fast...

Every game I choose a different leader. I am now at Cyrus. I play in lexicographical order! I play mostly at Prince level. However, my easiest win at this moment was made with catherine (cultural - with 50+ cossacs for defence)

Does the AI use spies? If yes, can you kill him?

Another use of leaving the forests intact is for chop rushing the space parts

I never wait until iron working. I use my axemen and 1-2 archers per stack to strike. AI tends to have in the border cities 2-3 archers with city defender + 1 spearman or axeman. So it's rather easy to conquer him starting with 6 axemen+1-2 archers. Of cousre u should keep creating axemen to...

Prince, Epic, Pangaea, Catherine, Large, random civs, random map settings I won using the following strategy: 1. I conquered with an early war the closest aggresive civ near me (Tog) 2. I conquered with a medieval war the civ following my lead in score and the others civs hate the most...

I have only used spies to spy the other nations :scan: (tech, building and etc.) However, I believe I should use the destroy resources ability. If my spy fails to destroy a resource, does produce negative effect to the relationship with that civ?

I have never seen a fort in any of the games I play. I have never created one nor the AI.

So, chop forests. The hills are always mined or also use windmills? I assume you never build watermill or workshop?
