    most effective use of paratroopers

    I think they can jump out of forts, if that helps anyway. Personally I love the little guys. My favorite tactic is having them jump on to hills in enemy territory, so the AI wastes troops trying to take them out. Meanwhile my other troops can penetrate enemy territory a lot easier.

    BTS Patch version 3.03!

    I just think that's an effect of the new BTS AI. It seems like it would take more processor power to run. A fair trade off, if you ask me.

    Anytime there is a new Civ game announced there will be a large thread.

    sillyness of the game

    True or not, it is part of pop culture now. I appreciate the little humor and details in the game. Honestly, when your fighting a nuclear war as the Aztecs there is only so much realism that you can expect.

    Which computer system should I be upgrading?

    Civ is graphics dependent to a point. What I mean is once you have enough graphics power to run the engine comfortably then all the high end cards in the world really won't help you much. CPU, on the other hand, depends on the size of map you play. The really large maps can bottleneck the...

    Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword Expansion Pack Announced!

    Judging by the time it took for them to release Warlords, I figured we were due for the second expansion some time soon. The recent rumors only confirmed my suspicions. My only fear though, is that they don't bite off more than they can chew. Warlords, by all accounts, was a tiny expansion...

    GOTM 16 Final Spoiler

    I won a domination in 1826. Seems pretty weak looking at some of the other people here, but that is my personal record for domination. I'm normally more of a builder and have been practicing my warmongering. In retrospect there were a number of things I could have improved on. First, while I...

    Warlords Instruction Manual

    I have the same problem. It is really disappointing. Part of the reason to go out and buy a game is to have a nice manual and box. The next expansion pack I might as well go Direct2Drive.

    City Ruins

    I was under the impression that the city ruins still counts as a tile with roads on it. I remember it being this way in Civ 3, and assume it is the same in Civ 4. This would explain why you can raze city ruins.

    Your Civ4 Warlords Review

    Well, I'm about half way into my first full game of Warlords. I am feeling a bit... underwhelmed. I enjoy all the changes made, the new wonders, units, buildings, and civs. I just wish there was more. I'm sure the scenarios will be good, but I'm not exactly into scenarios in a major way...

    Infantry vs. War Elephant

    I find that so incredibly amusing. Now where is the historical evidence of a warrior beating the crap out of a tank.;)
