KMad, I assure you were are definitely NOT sick of you. Your sense of humour ROCKS :)

I would prefer that they strengthened the weaker traits rather than weakened the stronger traits. This makes the differences between the traits larger and makes the traits you get more important to your strategy. So to make cultural better - increase 2 culture per turn to 3 or 4. To make...

Thank you Yakk for that post. I was wondering why neighboring civs changed from being "safe" (2 warriors and a bunch of archers and a few horse archers) to "very dangerous" (lots of high powered effective attack oriented military units) once Chemistry was widely available. Although I...

@Cabert What is Rexing?

Wang Kon here is my favorite cultural leader. On Noble I take a random leader. On Prince I choose Wang Kon. Once I am comfortable with winning regularly winning at Prince with Wang Kon then I will start choosing random leaders on Prince. Starts with Mysticism - speeds up the race to COL...

I've been playing around with attempts at cultural victories, but a few levels below you. On Noble - I rarely get attacked, and when I do its easy enough to fend off the attack. Yeah my land gets pillaged, but once peace is declared I just rebuild everything that has been pillaged. I almost...

The Wuss jab is not justified at all. There is no need to hurl insults at your customer base. Not a good business strategy. Not even in "jest". You seem like you have a plan of action already set in play. Make it happen. Make the AIs effectively use the units they make. The agressive...

As a certified Wuss, here my thoughts on having a Wuss setting, and other thoughts about playing Civ. As a Wuss, if I defend myself inadequately and an opposing Civ waltzes in and just takes over my cities - well bravo to the enemy civ. But here are some of the issues that make the game...

Oh, and if Noble is not fun for you, then Move up to Prince. This is supposed to entertainment = fun, not a chore :)

Noble here. But I am down and out right now since my computer crashes midgame. I LOVE the Better AI updates. I'll be practicing on Noble with forays into either Prince or Warlord difficulty depending upon my success rate.

@Uncle Joe I gather you have never modified a large computer program. Blake and Iustus are working at breakneck speed making many many changes to a game that sorely needs the changes. The first set of changes - 2.08 - thats the cherry picking part of the changes. Change all the easy...

My computer is crashing (2 different games, with saves from the earlier game). Screen goes black and all I can do is turn the machine off and on. Any ideas? I need to get the Asserts put back in, and also I will put in the cheat codes that you mentioned. Then I will monitor all these...

The problem ultimately is: If each civ adequately defends itself, which they are doing now, then 1 civ vs 1 civ attacks will pretty much be doomed to fail. Especially if the defender has some siege units and counter attack units to weaken the attacking force. Or to put it another way...

My settings are: Small Great Plains, Flat Either Quick or Marathon settings Random Leader Number of civs - anywhere from 1 to 8 depending upon my mood. Always a power of 2 (1, 2, 4, or 8) Occasionally for grins and giggles I fill the board up with civs and do 16. No city razing...

Different Game Bug: I was just playing along and clicked I think to go into a city. I got just a black screen. Nothing I could do except turn the computer off and on. The sequence of events was: Play game, get black screen of death. Restart from lastest save to try and recreate it...
