    Too Much Speed

    Good option - but I would change that once I get into the modern era when you're using bigger stacks for combat. Am trying CivAssist 2, but I do use F-1 a lot and watch my cities to maximize growth and production. NYET!! I'll pass on that one, but thanx for the thought :lol:

    Too Much Speed

    Thanks Vorlon, works just fine. I will wait 'n see about keeping this download, how much it helps me remains to be seen. A problem that remains is how fast an attack happens to my units, and the report of it. For example, sending a settler with a spearman and warrior into the wild with 6 or 7...

    How to advance fast?

    Just a note here, but I pick a line of techs and go straight across the tree. I try to finish Philo first for a quick advance either in Maps or Library. I like to get the Great Library, then any two civs that have a tech, you get without the research. Also, other civs value governments...

    Too Much Speed

    I have played this game off/on for a few years but have not yet mastered the speed of messages. I see a quick flash message about a bombing, don't even see the attack on paratroops, spot the words civil disorder, sometimes read about something being destroyed, but the computer msg speed is way...

    Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

    Thanx all, nice to know I am on the right track. I have learned to build libraries over temples because the lib will aid research as well as help expand territory, where temple happiness can be bought on the slider. I used to try for Philasophy first for the free Map Making next but the more...

    New questions, thoughts, etc. I play @ warlord/regent level, usually with a scientific Civ for faster advances, always with a warlike attitude. Trying Monarch level and up I get smoked and beat up, the AI civs develop so much faster than I. Ok, thats a thumbprint of my skills. question...

    Post Short Single Player Tips Here

    I have a few questions: I play @ warlord/regent level, usually with a scientific Civ, usually go for Dominance win (warlike outlook). What actions do I take to produce GL's? I rarely see them!! Do more libraries/universities help me research techs faster as a civ? or just aid research in...

    And is there some setting I can do to have my DA tell me about discontent before citizens shut down production? I read somewhere about re-arrainging my cities list by population which would help, just wondering if I can get her to say 'hey, lookit this' before the incident.

    Went 'sailing' last nite and lost only two ships, (playing regent level), before finding land. Great bunch of people here, so much help. After these two games (am playing same game/same civs, but with two different outlines to see cause and effect), I will try Conquests. What is it? Or...

    Tanks to ALL for imbedding those answers in my brain :D I am alone on a small continent - with two small islands. Some other civs have done some other wonders, and there is nothing in my box for wonders right now. Will hold and wait. Being alone - until I receive visitors or Nav, I will...
