    General Timing Tips/Reminders

    I'm about to make the jump to immortal. This is exactly my strategy. Play immortal until I can duplicate results per victory condition. I think the higher difficulty will only make the game more enjoyable. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk now Free

    Vary One's Gameplay

    I find myself continually going for the tradition opener, rush to NC before t-100ish, and then just push science until a victory condition shows itself. How do the denizens of civfanatics vary up their gameplay? Do we force ourselves to focus on dusty regions of the tech tree, do we rush for...

    Best use of Oxford?

    I'm of the school that the earlier the better for beaker bonuses. I like settling early scientists and the like because bonus beakers over a span of turns just makes me warm inside.

    Haile Selassie the Terrible - Ethiopia Honor/Autocracy Domination (Immortal/Pangaea)

    Love the LP using imgur album. Really a great way to do it and leave the forum for just discussion. Cannot wait to read through the LP right now.

    Please leave a tip...

    Question, if going for domination victory, still shoot for the NC and Education early?

    Early domination advice?

    You as well as the gentleman before you have given some wonderful domination tips. My question is what of science? How does one keep up in the research game when production and research is geared towards military prowess? On emperor, when do you focus on science or when does your science kick...

    Emperor Domination / Keeping up with beakers

    Hello all. I've been replaying the same emperor, standard, arabia, frontier or continents plus game with the aim of going for a domination victory. What mindset should I have going into this game? Is waiting for camel archers too long to start warring? Additionally, it seems keeping the...

    Expansion Pace (Monarch)

    Skalla, I'd love a brief, detailed run through of "chop 'em out, whip the escorts", as well as "settler builds that deal with whip anger..." And I've been a fan-lurker of your posts for awhile, btw.

    Expansion Pace (Monarch)

    Yes, this "AI box" is what I speak of. What is a respectable number of cities to have before it is time to break out of the box? And when is it time to break out of the box? I know it is highly situational, but what should I be thinking about? Wait for Trebs? Macemen? Cuirassiers?

    Expansion Pace (Monarch)

    I'm getting back into the game and have decided to not lurk around here anymore. Take Monarch difficulty, inland sea map. What is a reasonable expansion pace? What amount of cities is a good goal to be in a good pace with the rest of the civs and not fall behind in production / tech...

    What speed do you enjoy playing most?

    Because I'm somewhat new to Civ IV, I've been playing normal for most of my games, just so I can play more of them. I see myself moving up to epic soon though, the idea of my early armies lasting longer is an appetizing one.

    What does timing it right actually entail? I'm curious.
