    Starting Position

    I would go one spot to right, to have more grassland in right below, to get fish, ramain on flood during first culture borders. You have fishing as starting tech, dont You?

    City placement to block off peninsula

    If blocking is essential, the current settler standing spot is OK (as everybody agrees). However I would put city closer to caital, rice and ivory, and leave this sealng off until next city (well, I dont see whole map, probably there are reasons for doing it now) Also why is this road there...

    capital = GP farm?

    agree, so it happens in most my games. However, sometimes its a production core - after Bronze and Iron pops out. rear is the case of plain commerce.

    Hammers called sheilds- why?

    I quess Shield comes from CIV 1. those who remember this time - the screen resolution was low, you couldnt make any symbol You like, and in game design it was more importatnt to make things symbolic and easy to tell one from another. So probably thats why its shield. or any other reason..

    Did Civ4 borow too much?

    CIV 4 borroved ?!?!?!?!? Assuming that core personel in Civ4 still is good old SID, all the way from Civ1 and Microprose - who had a stunning number of leading strategy games, and those basically form the core concept of strategy gaming today - how can he technically borrow something? all they...

    AI much too eager to pillage

    If AI was smart in general there would be no players above Noble, and the ones in Noble would calculate moves in excel spreadheet to have victory chances, not to say that less people would like the game in general. Is the AI stuped because its currently no programmable or too expensive...

    Best starting locations?

    GOTM 04 - First Spoiler (starting continent)

    Died as Victoria sent her macemen with crossbowmen. Alex was dead fast, I had no chance to survive that war directly, nothing to trade others for alliance. had more expansion then other who seem doing well from these posts, so I figured I was doing too much expansion early on, had to demolish...
