    Poll: Did you like the new era system overall?

    I didn't vote because I don't have Civ 7. (I have Civ 6 but playing Civ 4 atm) This topic is the main thing keeping me from buying Civ 7 and reminds me of how different people play with anything because we are all built differently. When I was a kid playing with toys, I was the type who like to...

    Why no Black Male Leaders?

    I think Haile Selassie former Emperor of Ethiopia would make an excellent civ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haile_Selassie

    Reinstalling Civ 4 Complete from Amazon Download

    I got the installation resolved. I didn't see the BTS exe in the program files folder before I reinstalled. Anyway, reinstalled and did the patch 3.19 and all is good.

    Reinstalling Civ 4 Complete from Amazon Download

    Hi. I bought Civ 4 back in 2014 and enjoyed very much...maybe too much why I uninstalled it lol. (time just gets destroyed). Since then I bought Civ 6 on Steam but didn't get into it as much. 2 days ago I found my download in my games library on Amazon and attempted to install it again. The...

    Any other games even close to Civ4 for you?

    I like to play God with SimCity4 and I love traveling the world with MS Flight Simulator X with the REX addon. I'm a train lover and play Open BVE too. I'm also a FPS player so I like Unreal Tournament and Call of Duty but my internet connectivity has been very slow the past year. I only...

    Which mods do you reccomend?

    I recently bought Civ4 Complete version. I see there are many mods included with this package. Are any mods listed in the first 2 replies already included with "Complete"? I want to get into some mods but don't want to download something I already have.

    Beyond 2050...Is it worth playing?

    So perhaps I need to learn which buildings are important to build in a given city depending on what production I want to use that city for? I'm beginning to think I emphasize building all buildings in all my cities before concentrating on military units. I usually make a few military units for...

    Beyond 2050...Is it worth playing?

    In Epic or Marathon speeds, does it take more turns to produce stuff than normal speed giving the illusion of a longer game or is the production time (say to produce military units) the same as normal speed but the time eras are slower? I tried Epic before but did not understand what was going...

    Beyond 2050...Is it worth playing?

    I'm still new at this game and feel the time between 4000BC and 2050AD is too short to enjoy the units in their time periods. What's the sense of building knights if shortly I have riflemen and machine guns? It seems by the time I get my cities to the point I am only building military units...

    What gives you Civ4 gamer rage?

    I didn't know that (still new to this). I was avoiding tacticlal nukes because I thought they have to be launched from close range. Never tried to load one on a ship. I was using the other type that can be launched from anywhere. But my capitol was way inland and the AI was no where near it. The...

    What gives you Civ4 gamer rage?

    I hate the nukes! In one of my sessions, my capitol was filled with at least 32-40 units including mostly modern armor tanks and various other units. The enemy nuked numerous locations in one turn. I had to sit there and watch the screen shake not knowing what was going on. After about a minute...

    How to get the most out of Civ4 for Newbie

    Thanks again everyone. Now I need directions to the nearest Civ Rehab! I don't know where the past few days went and the scary part is I know I should be doing something else at certain times but I don't care. That's not good. *going back to click civ icon after post*

    Useful and Useless Military Units?

    Yeah I was playing with the Next War mod. Those cyborgs need some new programming. Think of the movie "The Terminator" series and how the cyborgs at war were tough to kill. No flesh foot soldiers should be able to easily take out a cyborg let alone a whole squad of 6-8 of them in one turn. I'm...

    Useful and Useless Military Units?

    I find myself not using many unit types because they seem useless. Future Military: I couldn't wait to get the cyborgs built up and test them out in a war just to find out how useless they are. RIFLEMEN took out 2 cyborg units with ease so I stopped producing them out of disgust. I find myself...

    How to get the most out of Civ4 for Newbie

    Thanks for your replies. Spent all day yesterday playing and I figured out all the customization options. I played one session way beyond the time victory and was ready to dominate the world with my huge arsenal including cyborgs and biological weapons with destroyers and battleships of all...
