Damn, so there's no actual way to avoid it then. :S Oh well, thanks for looking into the matter. Learned something new. :)

I forgot there was another step for Zara Yaqob to declare war on me. I have to captipulate Catherine first in the same round, and then I will automatically declare war on Zara Yaqob. Really sorry for the mistake I made. Can you please relook into the situation again? I have uploaded a new...

Hi, Need some help here. I am in this game where right after this turn, I 'automatically' declare war on Zara Yaqob. I have checked the sequence of events that transpired and no, Zara Yaqob did NOT declare war on any of my vassals. I really cannot think of any other reasons that would...

:blush: Lol, I didn't know that it was the Khmer city. Thanks for pointing it out, and here I was thinking "Wow, Barbs can found a religion".

Yup, when Sitting Bull gave the Ivory to me for free, I did find it odd. Anyway, many thanks for the reply, I learned something today. :)

Thanks for pointing out Industrialism makes Ivory obsolete. Does this mean that a resource only becomes obsolete if the player that has that resource does not have the obsoleting tech? Meaning we can obtain benefits of obsolete resources through trading? Also, Oils from forts? I just checked...

Merry Christmas! Thought I'd share one of the weirdest moments in my Civ 4 gaming history. I've just started playing in Marathon mode in Islands type of map. I sent my galley out to search for new lands to be colonised and lo and behold, I discover this: Judaism was discoverd by a...

Merry Christmas! :) I've just started playing in marathon mode and I've encountered some really odd problems. I hope that some gurus here can tell me whether this is a bug or not. I've been a pretty seasoned player myself but just can't seem to find the answer to this problem. In the game that...

Also, Guerilla III retreat bonus should be 50% instead of 30%.

Yup, thanks for this. This is the exact answer that I'm looking for. I just don't wanna go through the hassle of spreadsheet and micro-managing to win a game. Just wanna know whether it's possible to win the game without having to worry about the minor details too much. Will try monarch soon...

Does your game requires lots of micro-management? I've tried on Monarch, and it seems almost impossible. I'm currently on Prince, not that I win all the time, but I can say with confidence that given the right starting condition, I can win 80% of the time.

Yup, I was wrong. Sorry for the mistake. I made the reply without checking the Civilopedia, but instead just reading off the figures from the Reference Charts given here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2499 I tooke it for granted when they said it was updated for...

Same for me here. Barbarians can be pretty nasty, especially if you like to turn on Raging Barbarians like I always do. :)

Hi, I'm pretty new to the forums, but not to the game. I have been playing BtS for more than a year already, on and off. I've read a lot from CivFanatics, and I think it is a really great site. Now, on to my question. I'm asking this because I'm really curious about this. I'm not trying to...

I agree that there's a big penalty for whipping wonders. That's why I don't do it often. Hmmm, perhaps it is just my style of play. Think I will give more whipping a try. I don't really chop either, except if the surrounding has more than 6 plots of trees. Perhaps it's the difficulty that...
