I don't get why the minutemen would have to be weaker than the run of the mill musketmen. As true as it is that they were worse in real history, I don't think any civ to date has sported a UU strictly inferior to what it replaces (Civ3 Cossack? XD) While its lower cost makes a whole lot of...

I thought I heard somewhere that capturing a capital in this version was enough to remove them from the game. In older games capturing every city to win didn't mean possesing every city made, rather controlling 100% of them (everyone else being eliminated). I interpreted the point as, taking a...

My friend recently bought Civilization 4 after hearing me rant about my wonderful experiences with 3, and why? Because she wanted to play the role of a dictator. I have to admit, this was my original reason for buying this game off of a 5 below shelf, even though as I played I became more...

I don't see all the issue with this. With less units its nice to see them more personalized. Besides, if the numbers are automatic but we can rename them ourselves it becomes an even bigger non-issue, does anyone complain that every city you found initially has some name?

I started the game as a babylon fanboy, and won many of cultural victories (on Chieftan XD) until I started playing as the Americans. I loved their consistently strong start, but when tinkering with Civ's I've yet to play as I fell in love with the French. And I always thought the commercial...

I wonder how something like that Final Fantasy mod would work (mind you, my civving computer has no internet so I never could download it) where you have a building that produces a settler every few turns, but possibly have the number of turns vary with your advances or ffort you put into it...

I took most of your guy's advice. I disbanded the catapults but left the hoplites to garrison in cities, I producd knights and ovrpowered my closest neighbor (Rome) wit ease. I'll probably try to get one or two more before the industrial age. I doubt there's that much to learn about them, but...

I understand the values, and have read through most of the articles, but my theory was that they could win on one of their four shots (if only veteran) and heal up while defending the city but that wasn't always the case. Large numbers of catapults are very effective, but as vmxa said they are...

Hello civfanatics, I could've swore I had some account that hadn't been touched for a year on here but I couldn't remember the name, but I'm back now that I'm finally playing Civ 3 again. I've reread through most of the War Academy and I've yet to see something to help me with my current...
