Forgot about this topic. Thanks for your replies, I will take this into consideration next time I play so that I don't expect to get rich just by spamming cottages.

Since my brother started to play the game I've also noted that he sometimes has wikipedia up and reads about subjects such as christianity and islam, to learn more. I rather see people play CIV then Counter-Strike.

I fiirst got interested in Civilizations from a friend that had a great interest in anthropology, both social and genetical. Of course, I had this interest as well, but once I started to play Civ I also started to read up on anthropology, religions and different cultures. You might say that it...

If someone says that we don't really knows what national socialism leads to, because the Third Reich was indeed ruled by Hitlerism and not national socialism to it's core, would you agree with him? I hope they'll enjoy a free country. Free from communism and authoritarian rule. I'm opposed...

It makes me sad to see that another country will have to suffer under communism. Long live the King! Death to the bolshevik traitors! We have seen what communism does, how you can celebrate or even think well of a marxist gerilla sickens me.

I don't think Civ should be used as a reference although I can see from my brother that he has picked up a lot of the history parts of Civ IV when I play with him. He has also started to Google things he wants to learn more about, and he asks if there's something he wants to know more about. So...

I need to have the ability to think slowly and tactful in order for me to play a game. If there is a lot of war going on you can be sure that I get freaked out, way to defensive and loose my grounds. Hence we can conclude that my best victory condition is cultural. It gives me an opportunity to...

Honored members of the forum, I'm having a lot of problems with cottages. From what I've understand by now is that you make money on cottages. But somehow, I still don't make any money on cottages. In fact, I've found myself loosing money after building a cottage (although that could be...

The first time I played I got stressed due to the fact that everyone else seemed to have lots of new, cool, troops that surrounded my lands - while I still had barbarians. So try to keep up a general tech line, and don't just spend it on culture or military. I've noticed thanks to playing some...

Might I ask why you have such gigantual distances between your cities? Doesn't that cost you extra by having that, rather than building the cities tighter but adding a few more? And yes, courthouses seems to be what you should get right now. I have a way of ending up in the same way with city...

What do you mean by pay attention to the demographics and graphs? Perhaps a dimension of the game I've missed!

I tried first and in my naive adrenaline rush I decided to keep all cities that I had conquered. But the maintenance went through the roof, so I had to quit. But when I play again I will have in mind to use the newly conquered area as lebensraum, and not occupy it. ;) Also, I play on my laptop...

Killing off the other civilizations. I'm trying to manage it with Caesar.

I took what you wrote earlier in account and played a new game. I founded Hinduism, and then went on to Bronze working (at least I think it's called that, maybe copper). After this I went on to Monotheism. When I had founded Judaism as well I had no need to continue down the cultural path...

Actually, dear Older than Dirt, it's called Pickelhaube. I voted on Frederick's hat. He has one of those hats that speaks for itself: I'm better than you. :D
