Looking at hatty's land you should try to establish trade with her to get cows.

I think getting the north - west city as your second city is key.

interesting plan. and if you can do it by turn 3 it might actually work out well. I agree with oyzar though about moving your city 2 2N1W if you concentrate on getting a monument/library out quick you should be fine with the wheat The only prob i really have with the plan is that the cost of...

I'm not at home so I cant make a dotmap but what I've always felt was the best choice looked somewhat like slobbering bears dotmap. Green and blue cities are in the same spots. Red I move 1east so that it is on the oil as oil comes so late that I don't build around having it as an...

State property is getting late in the game though a good suggestion. Simple things like court houses I already do. I'm thinking of suggestions more along the lines of... going for the great lighthouse because it ends up providing a nice boost without having to divert production after its...

yes it is. that's actually a great alternative that I haven't tried out, though I'd like to find out if there is flat out another map. Thanks for the suggestion though Silverdawn, I'll probably be making a game with random personality tonight if no one points to a mod :P

Looking for a real world map for BTS with 18 civs where I could have random civs/leaders instead of the set 18 from the scenario. I love playing on the world map, but it would be nice for the game to play out a little differently with diff civs and all that.

Hi everyone, I've been playing civ 4 since it came out and I play Monarch difficulty. I know the basics (city specialization, diplomacy, slingshots etc...), but lately I've been trying to get a hang of what I consider to be the most difficult victory style - Conquering I've followed a lot of...

This is not as much a suggestion as a request that some of you might find interesting. I find I rarely see anyone suggest the use of the ability to pillage other than the occasional strat ressource. Given the nature of Izzy's unique unit and the time that you get it, I think it might be...

Yeah I think it was that one. Oh and I just remembered I forgot to say I'm looking civic types, favorite war units, battle styles the whole bit.

I recently decided that I would choose a particular leader that I would play as for the next lil while and for fun try to 1. better my skills with that leader (and traits) 2. roleplay a little in terms of trying to do what they would do. I decided my leader would be Saladin (spiritual /...

Two questions: First is for "I play 4 Fun", your strat for Japan includes your primary objective as taking over china, what about all the islands to the south? do you colonize those at the same time? and where do you place your first cities? (I have a lot of problems with city placement as...

Reading about this Persia vs. India discussion just reminded me that you never addressed a strat for both Greece and Japan Joe (which I'm still hoping you'll write a whole shpeal about). It seems to me as Greece your first moves involve attacking persia since your UU is good against the Persian...

Joe, been really enjoying reading your strats. From someone who's not all that great, it has helped quite a bit in terms of thinking outside of the box when it comes to civ. Two Civs I really enjoy playing on this map are Greece and Japan, but I have a lot of difficulty breaking out of they're...
