I always laugh when I get threatened by Ghandi with war or when Saladin demands I give him pigs in tribute....I agree with the people who said that this makes the game more fun. If you want all the civilizations to have religions compatible to their origins Im sure that there is a mod out there...

I usually use my own judgement on city placement. If that ends up being the blue circle then I build there. I really don't use them at all.

No it was a small un-settled island. I know about cities. Ive even built a few to expressly serve as a canals.

I usually play on prince and I find this usually works well. Even a plain old warrior with a club can do damage if he comes out the gate with combat I. Two games back I was playing fractual as germans on got started on a little island with Mao. I built a barracks followed by three warriors. I...

In my current game I just saw a spanish destroyer sail though a land mass. It stoped in the ocean approx. where it would have if it would have gone around. I have never had it do that for me or seen it before. I had a perm. alliance with the spanish which is how I noticed it at all.

I like to spread my religion(s) for economic reasons. Other than that, I rarely convert early because it usually pulls me into a religious-based war (hmm where have I heard that before:crazyeye: ) before I want to have one. Sometimes late I'll convert, especially if Im already at war and want to...

If you don't like the date then play Total Realism mod. It has eras instead of years.

You voted Panzers because you have never faced mine. Nothing dominates the industrial era armour scene like a Panzer. Give me Combat I and II and I'll drive them to the gates of hell.

Not that I have seen. I have had no problem with the AI being passive. I was assaulted by Aborigines, French and Aztecs in my last game and I didn't even have it set to aggressive AI. What difficulty are you playing on? I usually play Prince.

I can get a domination 20k+ augustus caesar playing prince. I usually play fractual with 12 opponets (13 players total including myself). If I go for space race I usually end up some place in the middle and time usually gets quayle or ethelred the unready. I think the game is a little biased...

I played this senario when I first got the game. Your right I'll have to go back and play it again. Has anyone actually defeated the brits? I think I won a time victory last time I played.

I play almost exclusivly as germans. GIVE ME MY PANZER!!!

Very true. I have had that happen too. I guess that I can overlook these small glitchs, it just pisses me off when I'm on the recieving end instead of the giving:)

I liked the way in civ3 it would tear up the roads and improvments around the cities and scatter polution everywhere. Much better than in civ4 IMAO, I cant understand why they changed it. I agree that nukes should have a greater impact on diplomacy. I also like the idea of versions of nukes. Say...

Im really looking forward to getting this...I just hope it doesnt pan out to be another PTW. That was the biggest let down in my gaming life....
