Long time Civ fan, first time BTS game. What is with the Apostolic Palace?!?! Stupid Washington declared war on me back in the days of archers and spearmen. It took me until cuirassers to finish fending him off, take two of his cities (just because I was so angry) and declare peace. I had...

Is it possible that more than one unit was on the goody hut and the chopper was beaten by another unit? I've seen goody huts in the new world with one warrior, one axeman and one rifleman. I havent played in a short while but in this case, could the warrior be the visible unit? And then...

PS And I wish my husband would stop trying to get me to stop playing to go out for dinner or to the beach. PPS You guys remind me of the swarm of guys that flock around me whenever I enter a computer shop.

Boys! I'm a girl. When I read this thread I immediately assumed his girlfriend would monopolize the computer now she was on holidays. - and he wouldn't be allowed near the game because she was all over Civ4.

This might be obvious but research plastics before you can build a platform.

Ha ha. Thats hilarious. I too play the Sims 2. The only reason I would ever admit it on a forum like this is because I got a large sum of money for helping to write a Sims 2 game guide. However, I really hate the way the Sims 2 never ends and you can't score. But also, I hate the way...

Dont do what I did. I gave everyone a great tech present before the election. No-one voted for me. And then everyone kept asking me for further "present"s of techs every few turns.

Mate! You guys need to chill out. It's OK to criticise the game. Just like its OK to criticise Bush (I'm not American by the way) or Nike's sweat shops. Criticism leads to positive change so let it happen! Personally, Civ 4 is seriously stressing out my 9 month old speccy computer and...

So thats where Ive seen her before.

That's cute. I am just always amazed by how many Megs there are on these forums when I'm picking a name and I kind of got used to it.

Definately a civ, not a city. I took one city and had 2 grenadiers and a knight left who then had to defend the city from a 20 turn barrage of troops pouring in from neighbouring cities. AND they pillaged everything.

Sorry, I'm Meghann. And the only online game I used to play is Ultima.

Hee hee, You guys are funny. And I'm a girl, not "man". (I know its hard to comprehend - I get stares every time I go into the computer shop.) I appreciate your replies. I most agree with Viperace's "tribe" comment so, at least historically speaking, smaller races could be portrayed in a...

PS, Although I call them my "friends", all they want to do is attack me. I think its wrong for the game to allow them to get highly developed cities and then be portrayed as "uncivilised".

Interesting. I posted below under "whole barbarian nation" and after playing the game today, I have formed a new opinion about "barbarians". Background Playing the world as china on noble. Just winning, sometimes 2nd. Never been to war with anyone (had to give away a few techs, but...
