Science Victory - Turn 295 - 1848 AD - Score: 1444. KILL'EM! KILL'EM ALL! :woohoo: It's hard for me to play peacefully in a normal game, and in this game with those warmongering neighbors, the temptation to crush them was impossible to resist. So I killed them. Almost everyone of them. Ok, I...

Fun game, thanks DS :goodjob: I picked the challenger save to speed up the research through trade (and to make the game more interesting) and I decided to play peaceful. Expanded fast enough to claim the good land (6 cities), and got Liberalism 820 AD. I did not dare to delay Lib since I tech...

Hi all, Decided to play a bit of Civ just for pleasure, and check if I still remembered how to play :) So I picked Challenger to allow the AI's to build more cities for me, and to help them tech faster. Don't know if it helped much though :cry: I managed to trade for Iron Working at least...

I have also experienced trouble with drawings on the map when loading up a save i.e. they don't appear when the game loads up again. I never figured out if it was random or not, or if it was fixed in any patches.

No. Both features are part of the graphical engine, and it turned out that they cannot be modded (if I remember correct).

Ahh, a heated debate over test maps! :clap: It serves as a valuable source of inspiration for potential future SGOTM maps :D. I think I have an idea of a map* that cannot easily be regenerated regardless of WB skills, but I have to play test it first :mischief: * Yes, it would be a very...

Do you ask if I'm sure about it, or how I learned it? I'm pretty sure since it fits my experience, which I've gained from play testing, although most is based on what klarius, ZPV and the rest of the guys in Team Murky WatersTM have deducted from code reading.

I think you refer to this post: You may have noticed the exact statement (4000 BC). Now, once you settle, all AIs know where you are. This is valid for all games, not just this SGOTM. Stalin would rain down his nukes on the next turn. Yes, I've tested this. Likewise, AIs will start sending...

Yes, I tried to make it harder for you to make peace. Did anyone suffer from the WW? I expected it to drop off before making any difference. Was it harder to make peace than expected? I mean, was it possible to make peace with India without sacrificing an arm and a leg? Ahem, this leads me to...

The rule you refer to was updated on January 5th by Alan in the SGOTM 12 - Rules Discussion Thread. We are aware that this update/clarification came quite late into the game, but it was an issue that we didn't think about until we got the question. Thanks for the feedback. Let's revisit...

If you want to PM someone, then you left-click on his/her name, which you can find in the upper left corner of the post, just above the avatar. You will then get a drop-down list, where the second entry is "Send private message to abc". Voila. Murky Waters 6 is a good example of warfare...

The first session is when the map maker creates the game. All players start with session 2 and this has nothing to do with replaying the game. :D

Didn't someone write elsewhere that Warlord Deity is normally harder than BtS Deity? Don't know if that's true, but I can see how the extra worker would speed up the AI development early on, while the improved AI in BtS is more powerful later. :confused:

Ahh, excellent game! I didn't plan to play more Civ4, but Warlords Deity cannot be ignored. Since I thought I would be crushed without mercy, I didn't plan to survive the BC year. However, either I was incredibly lucky or the map is tuned to help us early on, or perhaps both? Mountain range SW...

@BakeliteRules - perhaps this advice will solve your problem? Make sure you are connected to internet :crazyeye:
