If you effect this change, would it effect a game that you've already got ongoing? To be precise. I'm playing byzantium, lose my **** over seeing my lovely Milan razed to the ground for some stupid Firenze popping up, and edit the consts.py so the Italians don't show up until 2000. Go back to...

Is there a download link for the soundtrack? That was actually my favorite part of this mod. :)

Hi all, Wondering if this is bugging anyone else. I keep missing the first part of the Japanese UHV because, even though I've conquered and eliminated the chinese/khmer civilizations, there's still a bare trace of "independent" culture within the first five tiles radiating from kyoto. It...

Yeah, I'm pretty glad I tried the demo out before running out and getting this game.

It was actually really easy to beat the civ 4 demo, especially if you used settler mode. Just choose Alexander who starts with horses and spam horse archers.

It's risky, but I'd go for 1 south. 1 more grassland hill, still get both clams, and can use one of the sugars to help out a future city up north.

It'd be nice if there Judaism had a very high spread rate, but couldn't spread to more than one city in a civilization, to simulate the diaspora.

Asimov's a good guy and a smart scifi author, but I wouldn't appeal to him as the best authority on history. Besides, the Arabia of RFC is really the Muslim Arabic kingdom, and Ethiopia's been around for long before Islam.

When I wrote this post, it was way back when the Greeks had no boat to carry their starting settler to Rome. What I had done was literally move my starting greek settler over land to Italy. Ha! If I still had civ, what I'd like to try doing would be to use the Greek starting boat to found...

Most of these topics have already been talked about over and over over the course of the board's life. China's start location, specifically. The short answer is that moving one's capital costs a heckuva lot of stability points, and so generally isn't worth it. Also, why would one even want...

I'm reading a book about the Gothic war right now, and all throughout, it describes how Sicily supplied Justinian's troops with grain. So that's definitely a contender.

I forced myself to throw away my Civ 4 game disc because I was so badly addicted, and Rhye's and Fall is one of the things I miss most... Nice to see this, as I can live vicariously through someone else's game... :)

If you're going to 600 AD, will you attempt to simulate the Gothic war and Justinian's reconquest of Italy?

What a beautiful little island. Cottage spam.

It's been known to happen.
