Please Help. I've been trying this mod for a while, but cannot seem to create galleys.... I have a couple of cities next to rivers and already researched Sailing, but I can only make Workboats, instead of Galleys? Any ideas? I'm playing Qin on Prince right now, and heck even in Prince you...

Well another thing is, if you are only attacking one city, pillage all roads leading to that particular city. Starve it, make sure no reinforcements can get in. The good thing with moving in Altillery and Infantries first is that your tanks would get shielded from fire. Altilleries die like...

I was just testing the mechanism, since I have never done it before. I agree, in the long run you should work together with your PA. But the temptations are so high.... I mean, don't tell me 135+ gpt that your PAs hording does not tempt you whatsoever. I could build a couple of good factories...

Too bad you can't "force" a defeated opponent to become a vassal kingdom through Permanent Alliance. So basically, instead of finishing off another civ, you can make him/her your protectorate. Then you can force him/her to give you resources, gpt, and bully him/her to join a war. I think the...

Also if it's not a Pangea, move in battleships to bombard the coastal cities. This way your altilleries can concentrate on taking on the defenders instead of city defense itself.

Dont put them all in one stack. Try 3-4 stacks, just enough to get the altillery over to the intended sites. Instead of moving your panzers along, move throwables like infantries or machine gunners. Panzers can wait until the Altilleries/Infantries/Machine Gunners are in position and ready to...

I finally got Permanent Alliance to work on my last game. I basically kissed Cyrus's *** till he accepted my proposal. After that, I was quite amused on the one-sided benefits that I ripped. I was able to basically get everything from him, starting from gpt, techs, resources and even declare war...

Even domination?

I'm interested in starting an OCC game. I have never played this mode before. Can anyone tell me what basic strategies, civics, or even civilization to pick for? What kind of victory is achievable in this mode? Or perhaps even direct me to an existing thread that already discussed this. Thanks

Do you build warrior/scout first or build worker? Also can you explain me how Oracle gets you 15 turn ahead? I have just started civ 4...

So how do you win this scenario? Pardon me for asking, as I have yet to try it. Is there no victory condition?

It took me up to the 1400 in epic to get muskets... Year doesnt really matter. You only need as technological advance unit as the civs around you.

I was put on this situation a while ago with my mongols. After swallowing two empires with my mighty keshiks, I was behind in almost everything: tech, gdp, commerce, etc. I scrapped that game because I wanted to try another civ. But my advise is probably start a war with another civ and get 2-3...

I saw a lot of Barb troops in Arabia, are they supposed to do anything? Looks as if they couldnt even traverse the desert?

So your saying if you build a road into their cities, they become passable suddenly.... Looks like I better play this .9 version soon b4 Pink fixes the loophole :D
