I have just found out interesting facts. After the war is declared, a ninja can attack cities, and choose a target. Moreover, the target may be their Daymio! So one of the strategies could be to build up a pack of ninjas big enough to kill the tough Daymio, and attack him directly right after...

I am not sure it has been said that it is possible at all, but anyways, I d like to see the ability to tweak AI, almost teach them. Just imagined competitions between AIs created by different groups of programmers...

I have just tried 1.12 beta patch. The issue remained unsolved.

I am going to test it later, but may be someone has already tried and knows what happens if you put different units into an army. I understand how army of different units fights battles (attacking or defending), but what happens to the units' attributes and movement points? First, is army as...

I just have experienced that problem with ninjas. Other civilizations attack my cities with ninjas while at peace with me, pick any unit they want to destroy (usually my yamabushis and ninjas are first to go, but sometimes they pick the most injured unit), destroyed the cities, and they took a...

Yes they are in scenarios and in GOTMs Thanks, but there is a problem. How do you order a unit to grab them? I tried all possible combinations with keys, dont see any relevant buttons to press on the screen tried right click, gave me terrain, double click, enter. What really surprises me is...

What are treasure chests and what can i do with them and how?

I've had similar situation, but in my case it was much more favorable. I did not have triremes, but I was able to send ground units (insluding settlers and scouts) to a nearby continent by exploiting the neighbour civ, which kept teleporting them.

- You don't realize that you're trying to play with your monitor upside down. - You are so affraid of unleashing barbarians, that you don't rob huts (even if u r expansionist) - You dont build roads to slow down the AIs taking your cities. - Your civ is always in anarchy - You build...

If they are treating CPU/memory resources in their programming of the AI as they have been treating bandwidth in their MP programming, there is no much place for an improvement, indeed. Yet in my vision of future civilizations there will be a possibility to choose not only nation for the...

There are plenty of people who can beat the A.I. on Deity level regularly. Even those who dont beat Deity might have a lot of ideas on some particular aspects of the successful games. If only the editor allowed to edit Artificial Intelligence.... Computer will be able to win even without...

I am certainly interested in your expansion of Civ2, as well your vision of civ4. I have also had some interesting ideas, but I thought that Sid should have known much better than me, and my ideas were too naive or too primitive to ever come to his great mind. Now I dont think so anymore...

In one of my games, Babylonians nuked Albuquerque just to see how American Knights would react...

City names are funny indeed... Novosibirsk in Russian means New Sibirsk, now what does New Novosibirsk mean? Odessa, Tbilisi, Tashkent and other such cities are not Russian, and have never been Russian. It made me lol once when I established Grozny (Chechen capital) right near Moscow.

That's why I almost always choose turn based mode with slow timer in my LAN games. In most critical cases or in other modes save/load might work. In the inet games (if and when it ll work) u might have to sacrifice a few turns (or else...) Syncronising bathroom breaks might be impossible...
