is it possible? I'd really like to play with a buddy of mine and show him whats up ;)

Are there any links to a cultural victory guide for gods and kings? Cant seem to find one. I've been trying to work out a build order. What would really help is a benchmark. At BC XXX you should be at Y culture and at AD XXXX you should be at....etc. I've never tried culture vic until...

It doesnt show in the mod area in the game either.

I've downloaded and installed Total Realism. When I try to load the game via the desktop icon I get the following error: mods\totalrealism\ is an invalid mod directory, ignoring Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Well after playing until the middle ages I have a good idea. We share tech. If we both research the same tech it speeds up the process. Is there anything else I'm missing?

fantastic. Thanks!

I'm trying to play a team mode with the AI and I'm kinda confused. I go into custom game and choose Team Battleground as the map. I choose top vs bottom, choose my civ, then launch. The thing is that no one is on a team when I play! Am I doing something wrong?

I mostly play with a buddy via IP connection. The biggest issue I have is when we go to war with each other. If we've both got our stacks next to each other and we're duking it out, one thing I really have a problem with is unit selection. What I'm talking about is I'll have to scroll through a...

Some great and very helpful articles. Methinks this plus the advice in this thread should give me the edge I need. Thanks fellas!

In our current game he's playing Louis of the French and I'm the Egyptians. We play on Noble level

Ok guys I've been playing for about a month now. Most times I'm playing a direct IP connection with my buddy. Our favorite map/scenario is world map with 18 civs. I do not have any of the expansions. Ok here's the deal. He's always beating me! For the most part he leaves me alone militarily...
