Inbhir Nis?

Simply opening the worldbuilder does not constitute cheating. First of all, I like a semblance of realism in my games, so that the whole of Europe isn't Jewish and Confucianism isn't founded in Babylon etc. Second, it adds to the experience to see what is happening in the four corners of the...

Natives got the conquistador event, twice!

Colchester's closer but their football team is rubbish so they won't get in.

I think so. I remember reading about it before it came about and thinking I should give Civ a try, but I immediately came here looking for a way to fix the years (medieval age always started in BC!) and then spent the rest of the time trying out mods. I tried Total Realism but my computer...

I've done fine as the Chinese so far, but then again the Mongols haven't spawned yet. But yes, collapse is an issue. Every civ in 'Africa' collapsed (this was India, Angkor and Ethiopia so far) all thanks to loads of unnecessary barbarians.

On the topic of religion, perhaps it should be Buddhism that receives the free missionary and not Confucianism? Edit: Can anyone get Blue Marble working in this or normal RFC? I can understand not having the terrain (due to swamps) but things like the new civilopedia and leaderheads should be...

I might be able to, but if there isn't room I'll gladly wait for the next one.

I've never been gifted a city. :(
