As supr has suggested, follow along some in some games to see how others have done things. Read the articles in the war academy - most of which are very good. If your losing 100% of the time on prince, you might want to consider stepping back down to noble, applying what you learn from the war...

If you want a specific wonder it's generally a good idea to plan your tech path so you get the tech that enables that wonder sooner or later - that way you have a head start over the AI because you can start building it sooner. You can also plan ahead by using forests and the whip to help hurry...

I have civ rev on the DS and I've only ever had a game crash once on me in it. Not really sure what happened, but I went to save my game, and the screen telling me the game was saving, please wait, never went away, even after I left my DS for 10 minutes and came back. :confused: That said, I...

If choose to play a custom game, you can select which computer opponents you which to play against (or leave them as random). As for mods, I'm not sure, there's certainly many out there to choose from. You might want to head over to the mod forum and browse. Also, try and make one post with...

There's a number of ways you can speed up builds. You can: a) Chop nearby forests with workers which will contribute hammers towards your current build. (How many depend on how close the forest is to the town, if it's inside your cultural borders and if you have the math tech). b) Use...

The AI is always set to noble if you play Multiplayer. However, the AI gets bonuses to production, research, etc when you have it at prince or higher when your playing Single player. So yes, it is different between MP and SP.

Howdy folks, I'm seeking advice on what to do after your first war is fought and over with and you want to start your 2nd war. Having read some of the strategies on here, and browsed the forums, and played numerous games of civ, I've become pretty good at the first war (be it an early rush or...

I certainly agree that civ 4 and civ rev are different animals. Civ Rev was great when I first got it. I bought it for the DS (I don't own a xbox 360 or ps3) and I played the heck out of it for about 2 weeks. However, I've found that all my games follow the same path more often and not because...

Aw now I want to know what the original thread name was. I couldn't understand why Leader/trait discussion should have caught our attention...then I saw the moderator action.

Your already in a pretty dominant position. A war with Joao might prove interesting for a little while till you get the upper hand, but the rest of the world you'd likely just crush. It's hard to stay interested in a game like that when you've already won.

I was on board to an extent with certain civics having certain penalties maybe. I think you provided a poor example though. There's lots of people in western countries who work as little as possible and live off welfare because they just don't want to work. (Yes, I know there are people on...

:lol: Nice joke. You might prefer civ 3 over civ 4, there are quite a few people that do. However, claiming that civ 4 is a dumb downed version of the game smacks of ignorance. :mischief:

Terrible troll is terrible?

I don't know. I've always been able to leverage the +1 food & +1 trade from deserts with egypt into a great start and a solid tech lead early on. I'm not saying Japans bonus isn't powerful (it certainly is), but that doesn't mean that Egypt's isn't. Egypt is just much more map dependent. Your...

Really? Because I've played a couple games with egypt on deity, where I just kept restarting the map till I got 2 desert tiles and I just dominated tech wise. I didn't have the colossus as the wonder either time. I just had so much early tech pouring in it felt like I was cheating. (In a way...
