Thanks.

Does the follower belief "Religious Center" (Temples give +2 happiness in cities with 5 followers) work with the Burial Tomb building, the Egyptian replacement for the Temple? I'm coming back to Civ 5 after a long break and am trying out various ways to support a wide empire. My capital...

I ask because I was just hit by a Spearman in ~2100 BC. No random event, no hut. Noble, Huge, Marathon, Shuffle (I think it had picked Archipelago), Elizabeth. Googling "civ 4 barbarian timing" and related didn't give any relevant hits. I could have sworn it was animals-only until 2000 BC, at...

An addendum: I was reading other threads and came upon the "How to Excel at Noble Peacefully" one, in particular this post: I read that and said "12 beakers a turn? Naaah, that can't be right." Then I did some math on my own game: 300 GPP/great person (marathon, remember)...

Normally I'd gloss over it and just proceed, following advice, but since I'm specifically trying to improve with this game, I'd like to get down into the nitty-gritty of the thinking behind what you've suggested. Two broad topics: first, tech, second, city placement...

Quick turn 40 update before I do head out - Hit several goodie huts. Two scouts, two maps, a bit of gold. No techs, sadly. Found Caesar to my west early on (see maps below). Bumped into Zara Yaqob and Napoleon to my south, but I haven't found their culture borders yet. I've only...

Thanks for the comments, everyone, I've read them all. A couple that needed replies: Right, sorry, for whatever reason (probably because of so many water maps) I think food resource = fish/clams/crabs or grains. I agree wet rice is better than, say, cows. Early marble-accelerated...

Index: Intro: You're here! ---------------------------------------- Hi all. I'm a somewhat experienced Civ4 player with perhaps two dozen games under my belt. I play an even mix of solo games and 2v2v2v2v2 coop games with a friend; I/we play at Noble, I win the majority of my solo...

Is there any reference? Ingame or not? I have no problem alt-tabbing and reading something, I'm just trying to find some way to (for example) delay era advancement while I finish a quest.

Quick newbie question: is there a way to look up which technologies advance your civ to another era? That information doesn't appear on mouseover in the tech tree or in the Civilopedia. I seem to remember it being shown when you mouse over a tech among the various options presented to you when...

Solved the problem, thank you. Set movie detail to medium and the delay's gone. I'm at a loss for why movie detail would affect the load time of the advisor screens, though.

Subject pretty much sums it up. I moved from my desktop to my laptop, and am playing Civ4 (BTS, from Steam, if that matters) on my laptop. I get very long (~10-15 sec) delays whenever I open an advisor window or when the diplomacy window opens (initiated by either myself or the AI, which can get...

Thanks for the confirmation that subs can't transfer missiles to missile cruisers. I find it rather odd, as I've definitely read naval strategy guides that mention that specific tactic, but perhaps the ability was removed in a patch....? Novel bug: I can't seem to chat in the multiplayer...

My point is that the missile has no Load button. Screenshot: http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/9392/civ4picnoloadbutton.jpg Selecting the guided missile on the Missile Cruiser gives the same command options. Selecting the Submarine or Missile Cruiser gives an "Unload" button, but clicking...

Hi all - longtime lurker, first time poster, etc. etc. Basic question here, but "missile cruiser reload" gave no hits in Search, so... I've read in several places that using submarines to reload Missile Cruisers' stock of guided/tactical missiles is a key part of naval strategy, but I can't...
