I got the following: * The Great Deceiver (a 4-CD King Crimson boxed set) * Orphans (new Tom Waits triple-album) * A Pink Floyd poster * 2 x pyjamas * A small art-book about Breughel * "Multi-tool" Plus the promise of 1300 norwegian kroners (~ $224) being put into my bank account...

I'm glad if I have inspired you. :D I own almost everything Les Claypool has made, and I think his later (non-Primus) projects are really interesting and innovative, escpecially the Frog Brigade's stuff.

The last album I purchased was Live Frogs Set 2 by Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, which is a concert cover of the Animals by Pink Floyd (the whole album). The musicians are incredible, especially the bassist Les Claypool (known best as frontman for Primus, a metal/alt rock/funk band), though his...

Why not. :p

Alternatively, Poland-Lithuania could be added, though that might not be too great, considering that this only existed from around 1350-1400. @Dom Pedro II: I agree with having a greater representation of Africa, though the problem remains, that we are growing to a number of civs above 18...

Some more civs to consider: The Ottomans (had a huge empire around Turkey and conquered Constantinople in 1453) The Papal State (if you're gonna include the crusades...) Lithuania (had a large empire around 1400-1500) Ethiopia/Abyssinia (just to include an African empire which was around at the...

I think all you have to do is open .../Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Assets/XML/Buildings/CIV4BuildingInfos.XML and goto <BuildingInfo> <BuildingClass>BUILDINGCLASS_UNITED_NATIONS</BuildingClass> <Type>BUILDING_UNITED_NATIONS</Type>...

A possibility might be to add an additonal Settler-unit to the game, which becomes available later in the game, and make the already-existing Settler unavailable to certain nomadic civs. Then they would have to make due with a single city until the tech allowing the later Settler was discovered...

You have to change the last of the <GameTurnInfo> items from... <GameTurnInfo> <iYearIncrement>1</iYearIncrement> <iTurnsPerIncrement>200</iTurnsPerIncrement> </GameTurnInfo> ...to... <GameTurnInfo> <iYearIncrement>1</iYearIncrement> <iTurnsPerIncrement>250</iTurnsPerIncrement>...

The spearmen, upon seeing the tank, send a smoke signal and hereby call upon help from a gunship not too far away, which comes to their aid, destroying the tank while the spearmen look on, cheering and dancing a crazy dance (which might in itself have been enough to scare off the tank crew..). :p

Imagine the spearmen seeing the tank coming and digging a large hole resemling a dinosaur footprint. When the tank crew see it, they panic, hurrying to leave the tank and run off as quickly as possible.

We most certainly do! :D I won't have the game for a week or so, and it's always nice to have something pretty to look at in the meantime. EDIT: Wow, I was a bit slow at responding to Alan's post there...

But he'd lose the only grassland in sight if he moved east, wouldn't he, and seeing as there aren't so many food resources nearby, I'd think that the grassland tile would be quite important... Kind of useless discussion though, since he's probably got a thriving civ up and running already...

I suspect this would be the place for requests - in parallel to the corresponding Civ3 forum - but it might be a good idea to start a stickied thread ASAP where requests could be posted without to much clutter, and where the requests could be summed up/listed in the first message. To...
