Hi Guys, First up I want to apologise if this has been mentioned in a previous thread, but a search brought up a million threads and I can't really review them all!! I'm thinking about buying a Mac in a few weeks and want to know if Civ V (and Civ IV) will work on it. It's a quad core...

i'll be the leader, being the boss for all enternity, sounds good!

have you demanded something off him recently (tech, goods, gold)? If you have then you can't invade for, I think, about 10-20 turns as you demand forced peace.

personally, i believe the barbs should fight each other as much as we fight them. Afterall, they are supposed to represent those who live outside the 7 or however many civs you have in the game. Surely, in their little worlds they would hate each other as well?

32. No matter how excited you are about a war you've just won, your partner doesn't care or want to hear about it!

i tend to give it to a couple of horsey units when I'm planning an attack. I don't attach them to a SoD, just have them roaming about trying to catch the AI seige weapons coming to get me. I try to have about 4 or 5 of them along with 4 or 5 melee promoted units to take out any protectors of the...

Risk is THE greatest board game of all time, i've been hooked since I was 10, even played a world domination game that lasted 5 days straight! (it was a very rainy week, so we had to do something). Best game to memory was a night where a couple of us had brought various versions of Risk to a...

i remember when i first started playing Civ i had no idea what i was doing and moved my capital every few decades, simply because i had no buildings left to construct and didn't have enough gold to build more troops!! After reading this forum I am getting the urge to return to Civ I!

55. Do not use auto-save, & only manually save every 1500 years. It takes up too much time/ 56. Espionage is worthless, avoid building spys at all costs 57. The best way to defend you cities from a SoD is to fill it up with all your naval units, they have cannons right?

wow 36 straight hours! I thought 22 was good! I bow down to you kind sir, king of Civlongability! :worship:

Well, my record is 22 hours of non stop playing, although, a few years ago it wasn't uncommon for me to get home from work on Friday evening, fire up the PC and play until Sunday night (with sleep, food, toilet, and football breaks of course). sadly, those days are over, now in the forces...

i love marathon mode, although, i think there could be some improvements, as mentioned above. Epic = good Marathon = awesome Here's to 6 day Civ games!!

my main issue is that I don't want that annoying 'City X wants to join the Russian Empire' that keeps popping up on nearly every new city i take or put near her borders. plus, i wasn't going to have any vassals other than those I catipulate. Plus, while I was at war with Athens she took a...

Just curious, I accidently hit yes when Catherine asked to me vassal (I'm Elizabeth playing on the Earth 18 Civs map). now, I've wiped out Germany, France, Rome, and shortly Greece, so the only people blocking me and the Mongols is Russia. So, what I want to do is stop Catherine being my...

yeah, the advisors were awesome, they always said pretty much the same thing every game, but still! I loved how their outfits changed as time went on, and to memory one of them wasn't that bad to look at!
