I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not. Are you saying that when the AI builds a fort on top of the resource outside your BFCs then you gain access to it as a trade resource? If this were to be true than there would be nothing wrong with auto-roading when you unlock railroads (if your...

Certainly a quick search found what I was looking for. http://www.civfanatics.com/civ4/strategy/gettingthemost.php

The Totem Pole allows Sitting Bull to create Drill III archers in the ancient era; and with a GG (I think) can create Drill IV Bow units. These would upgrade into Drill IV Rifles. Is this a bit OP? Especially if you combine it with Stonehendge :eek:. I bring this up because I remember some...

True I realized I didn't say what I meant which was he used automate build trade network. As for a guide to improvements that is better than the AI; let's see if I can imitate you: Build farms to get food where you need it. Build cottages to get commerce (science/gold/culture/espionage) when...

I agree for the most part, but I think that American-born francophobia (which is rampant in my neck of the woods) goes beyond age-old rivalries (france was our original ally) and has to do with right wing america (And a lot of left wing america too) setting up an image of America as 'tough'...

Many thanks you dirtyparrot.

I reacted too quickly. Charly, who only has one city left, vassalized to him. My request remains but i did seem weird. My power rating is 2.1x higher than his and my main production city is right at the border with him. He is screwed; why are weak civs willing to take vassals that will put them...

I'm in a game right now where Sueliman was at a very high pleased (was friendly only a few turns earlier) and was my main trading partner to my east as I wiped Charly off the map at my west; and as I finish the job he DOW's me. He's worst enemies with Shaka (to his north) and is absolutly pissed...

I also noticed the fort on the wheat outside of the cross. This sceams 'automated workers'. As a rule do not ever, ever, ever (unless you're one of the diety level players on the board) automate workers. This is probably why your land is improved so poorly.

91 Turns, but I also built the cities out naturally and took quite a few turns to trek through the forest. Coulda shaved off 10 turns at least if I built more nuclear and skipped the graneries. I'll try again after I get some sleep.

Thanks for the shadow michmbk, im going to give this one another try. I'll post how I do.

@ Foamy7: Je suis d'accord avec vous! I just think that their reputation is not deserved. Sure, they can be spiky people, and they made an art of being dismissive and condenscending but the military surrender thing is undeserved IMO.

@ War Ensemble: Yeah, lol, I know my play fit the stereotype but the French throughout history and to this day has one the most powerful and technologically advanced fighting forces; and historically up until (and during) vietnam the French Forign Legion has been the most powerful light infantry...

Initally I thought I might go for culture, and even though I know he's not the best leader for it, I figured IND would help and CHA is always useful. Don't quite remember but I believe initiall build/tech order was AH/MIN/BW and WORK/WAR/WAR/SET. I knew that Ragnar was a warmonger but I...
