Forget my last question. I see it now. :)

How does one know BUG is installed properly? I used the the first option in the installer (drop in CustomAssets folder). I do not see BUG listed as a mod. Will it show up listed somewhere else? Thanks, MikeS

Thank you s.bernbaum, this very helpful!

Hi Folks, I am looking to get back to Civ 4 after a many year hiatus. I have the original CDs. I plan to run this on a Windows 10 laptop to start. I have been looking for a guide to walk through this and while there is a LOT of information here, I feel like I'm missing something. :( Should...

Good point AlanH. :) G

Just picking this up now. Hopefully I'll finish it in time. Just curious if anyone thought about going for a cultural victory? I haven't tried Ghandi in WL yet but I assume he is still pretty good for that. thanks, G

This game was above my ability but I was curious to try another AW. I seemed to last a little longer than most. I figured I would have bad guys on top of me almost instantly so I just cranked out military units and didn't wander too far from my starting city except in force. I founded a...

Loren Green is not good enough for you? ;) You might find him on a cover of PB with Farrah Fawcett. :) Old School!! :eek:

I hate to admit it, but I submitted a retired game. I figured submitting anything let's the organizers know that we play. :) Still have a lot to learn in Civ IV. I think my basic strategy was okay, it was just my execution. I've never played this map or all war before. The pre-discussion...

I'm one of those who downloads but only submits about 25% of the time. Like some others, I too am busy with family, job, pets, etc, etc and sometimes don't even finish a game in time. But I do value the gotm of the month series. I'd rather play a 'designed' game like a gotm then start up game...

I love reading this thread to see how the professionals think. As someone whole only plays 1 or 2 games a month at best, I really appreciate all of your thoughts. :) Based on what I've read, I think I'm going to settle 1E and have my scout head S at first to see what's down there. Then...

Submited a defeat. Made a bunch of mistakes mid-game and probably expanded a little too fast. My major mistake was launching an attack on Saladin and not noticing that he had a defensive pact with Julius and Cyrus. Boy that was dumb! But a fun learning experience. Never played on...

Mad Professor and Capt. MP had it right. I had troops and cats but not enought galleys. I judged I was closer to a dom victory so I went for that instead. Either way, my earlier mistakes cost me the quick conquest victory. :) G

Ended up with a domination victory. Cleared the continent only to discover the HC had a city on an island. So I researched to galleys only to discover that the city was on a one tile island and I had no way to land my troops next door. So I decided to go for a dom victory instead. Got it but...

Seems like those of us who do not play conquest victory a lot suffered the same basic fate. We had too many cities and our economy suffered for it. Thus also seems to have dragged things out. From what I've been reading, it looks like an early conquest victory is very possible. My bet is...
