    Heavy modified Ancient Resource map

    By the way, I'm experiencing an annoying glitch with the last version of GEM, on the scoreboard no religion icons are showed, and I'm on a clean install. My mod skills are noobbish, but it's obvious a BUG problem. Did someone experience it or solve it? Also, there is out there a new version of...

    Heavy modified Ancient Resource map

    Hello, first of all thanks to GK for this great MOD which I have been playing it for some years now. I always have been a huge fan of earth maps, first earth18civ online play (I was a noob back then), followed by GEM on single; but after countless victories on countless nations, I decided to...

    Giant Earth Map strategies

    Playing as Japan on earth18 I always chop to build an army, as soon as possible, of 3 galleys, 3 axemans and 3 swordsmans to size china’s capital. On my last game as Japan on GEM, I managed to stay on the island since samurais became available. That was, of course thanks to some wonders...

    Giant Earth Map strategies

    I assure you this is a great strategy since supply lines aren’t well represented on civ4, if you promote your units with drill and medic (especially if you are running a protective leader) your army will become somewhat invincible even if you place it deeper behind enemy lines. About...

    Thanks for the specifications Coanda. Any idea why is there such a discount for unit production on marathon speed? Here it is: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=276594&highlight=gIANT+EARTH+MAP

    Giant Earth Map strategies

    My thought is; marathon or blazing speed, there will be no difference on the amount of units your city produce, you will produce the same amount of units per year (not per turn). The difference comes by the number of tiles your units move per year. I know what you mean about giving all that...

    Giant Earth Map strategies

    My only concern about marathon speed + GEM is the amount of time it takes to pass turn on modern era (it takes about 20-30 seconds on my OC i7 960); so you have to listen the radio or watch tv meanwhile. But on the other hand, my opinion is that marathon speed is more realistic, especially...

    Giant Earth Map strategies

    Since I discovered GEM, I only play this scenario as I was a earth18 scenario fan. I’m up to discuss any strategy on this map. My settings for ancient resources scenario are: no barbarians (they tend to be a big problem for some civs), aggressive AI, no technology brokering, permanent...

    Welcome to Giant Earth Map (GEM)!

    First of all, thank you for the awesome mod you made Genhis Kai. Since I only play earth maps on Civilization IV, this was a greater and funnier challenge than conventional earth18 scenario. My settings are: no barbarians (they tend to be a big problem for some civs, as it has been...

    Earth 18 civ basic guide.

    You can win this game easily being Japanese rushing and chopping for axemans, swordmans and galleys to conquest china early in the game (you can optionally take out mongols too) and then expand up to India's border. Later you can colonize Indonesia and Australia. Since you have plenty of room to...
